I think it's a matter of perception. Cora still sees the pack as a type of family...even stronger than a family from her comments. Even Ennis saw his pack that way...we see him in the hospital wanting both halves of his beta and telling Stiles dad (about his beta) that "he was family to me".

Deucalion changed all that. When he started killing his betas and absorbing their power he led the others (Ennis and Kali) to do the same. They no longer view betas as family. They don't see them as a "werewolf family" (for lack of a better term) but they see them as nothing more than a means to more power for themselves.

I kind of see it as Deucalion (and his alphas) put their own selfish desires for power above what was best for their packs. When they cared more for their own personal power than they did for the betas they ceased doing what was best for the packs as a whole.

For someone who was looking out for the pack (Cora's perspective) it would be like losing a limb because there would be genuine caring for the betas in the pack. idk...kind of hard to explain but I do think it comes down to perception.
