I think that he actually could be a True Alpha, mainly due to his good character before he turned blind. He took a truce with Gerard, who betrayed him, killed a lot of his pack members and then blinded him.

From then on, his vision was tarnished beyond repair from normal werewolf healing. One of his leading betas betrays him by attempting to kill him, which is how he ended up killing his first beta. From then, it was mainly the added power from the murder of his beta that started his thirst for more power.

I think a Demon Wolf is what a True Alpha turns into when he loses his sense of humanity, like how a Darach is a dark druid. Deucalion became "death, destroyer of worlds" making him become a Demon Wolf. Meanwhile, when Scott became power and violence hungry, he even started turning into something like a Demon Wolf as he was beating a mercenary in the second half of season 4. So if Scott lets the rage and power takes over him, he'd become a Demon Wolf, like Deucalion too.

Deucalion is a foil to Scott in the sense that they were both good hearted people, but Scott was able to stay a true leader whereas Deucalion could not. So it makes sense that Demon Wolf is a True Alpha gone down the wrong path. I really hope Deucalion makes an appearance this season because he barely got to see the Demon Wolf, and what makes it so feared (besides Jennifer's magic seeming to have no effect on him, and him being able to beat Derek, who everyone beat that season...:P Would have liked to see how Deucalion would have coped with shards of glass being thrown at him lol).
