An Alpha-powered friend of the family, with a pack no less, might just have been handy to have around when you're hunting down a strange Alpha who murdered your sister, right? That's all very true. The problem is that the TW universe is not continuos. The idea of Satomi did not exist in Season 1. Ideally the writers would try make sure that when they add new characters they think about it how it would effect the already established cannon of the show. Sadly a lot of times they do not.

Derek has started losing his werewolf abilities after what Kate did to him.

He didn't smell the blood in the school where the Mute planted the bomb.

He didn't smell the gunpowder Malia did.

He also didn't smell the dead bodies.

His healing is significantly slowed as shown when Brett scratched him.

And his werewolf strength is also weakened.
