@Jlm86: I've also wondered if Peter arranged the whole Paige debacle to prevent Derek from becoming a True Alpha. Following him around like he did when Derek obviously didn't like him and going out of his way to set things up - it had to serve a darker purpose. If Derek's star was on the rise in the Hale family as Talia's son, then Peter would've done anything to maintain seniority. Peter seems to know a lot about and enjoys discussing Derek's dark mindset and spirituality - like he takes pride in understanding what he did to him.

Of course, he could've just set up Paige's bite to offer up a replacement for Ennis's dead pack member to win favor with the Alphas. Young Peter Hale was impressed by the power of an Alpha Pack and would've probably liked being part of it. Maybe they'll have another flashback in S3B to reveal what Peter's true intentions were back then.
