From the looks of the end of episode 1 season 3b, betas might also have this ability to shift seeing how scott found the wolf with blue eyes. So shifting might not be special to alphas. You're talking about two different abilities -

1. to shift into a CGI Beast

2. to shift into an actual animal like Talia

The former appears to be an Alpha thing - the latter may not be limited to Alphas. IMO I don't think Betas can shift into the CGI beast. It might not be strictly speaking limited to Alphas but I just think that Betas simply don't have the strength for it. I always though a werewolf needs some serious mojo for such a shift and the Beta "spark" just doesn't cut it.
