'''“The roar is a kind of clarion call for Scott’s betas. And that can certainly extend to the non-supernatural members. We use the eye glow to show how his roar can actually give his Betas strength and courage at the same time. For us it’s a little like King Theoden striking his sword against the spears of the Rohirrim, rousing them to battle."'''

From everything we've seen from Malia, It was pretty obvious beforehand that she is just as much a Beta as Liam or Hayden.

- Scott's Alpha roar turning Malia back into a human

- Werewolves and Werecoyotes practically being the same species

- Scott's Alpha roar at Eichen that made both Liam and Malia's eyes glow, yet Kira's eyes didn't glow. So, its not a supernatural creature connection, its a werewolf/werecoyote connection. "You can only be a beta if you're a member of a pack"... Wasn't this like shown to be false in both Season 1 and 2?

Scott got bitten by Peter but he refused to become his Beta. To follow his commands. Then Derek tried to make him part of his pack, but Scott refused. And in no moment was Scott referred to as an Omega. If anything Derek recognized Scott had created his own "pack" through Lydia, Stiles and Allison. Never once was he called an Omega. Derek did shown him what happens to Omegas, when we saw that Omega getting cut in half, but for all intended purposes Scott was simply a Beta without a real pack.

And Malia turning back to human because of Scott roar. Well... Scott roar as also shown to affect Berserkers to some degree. When both he and Braeden were in that old church looking for Derek, his roar wss the only thing that stopped them from coming at them.

For example when Derek was in the vault with Kate he heard Scott roar and his eyes glowed in response, but Derek was never Scott beta or part of his pack. If anything Derek is what Scott once was. A lone Beta.

Also Malia case is a little weird. Her father his a werewolf and her mother a werecoyote. Shouldn't this make her a hybrid? Half werewolf and half werecoyote. If she was, then it would make more sense how she being from a different species, she can also be part of Scott pack. Because werewolves and werecoyotes my seem alike but they clearly possess some differences, like Theo pointed out. Like for example Malia unexplained attraction for Theo, was only due to him being half werecoyote also. But we never seen werewolves become attracted to each other just because they were from the same species. If that was the case then Scott would've felt something for either Cora or Erica. Scott was still Peter's beta whether he liked it or not, like when peter called him out of bed in the middle of the night and brought him to the school bus where he killed the driver and when they were trapped in the school by peter and peter force Scott to change back and in season 2, Scott was an Omega, because Derek didn't want to force him and saw that was the alpha of his own symbolic "pack" and they would look out for each other and what happen to that omega earlier in the season wouldn't happen to Scott because he wasn't alone.

I agree that the roar doesn't necessarily indicate beta status just dominace, since Deaucalion did the same thing to Scott(opposite way) in the season 3 finale.

But I agree with Killer Kev, how in the episode with young Derek, when Scott roared his eyes did not glow when said roar occured, ever since Derek lost his alpha status and his pack he went back to being who he was at the beginning of the show a sour wolf except with a lot of extra power and a smile.

It would be interesting if Malia was a hybrid but the writers would probably want to keep it simple and have her as one type of supernatural and leave the hybrid elements to the chimeras because they were created that way.
