Kinda of like in season one when Derek told Scott ther might be a way to change him back. That was a legend too. Well that wasn't a legend. It was a straight up lie so that Scott would help him defeat the Alpha.

We've never been told that in the show, and I can't recall a time when Jeff confirmed that. It can't be a lie anyway, when Derek deliberately told Scott it was just a legend, and he wasn't sure it was true Derek knew (and we know too) that killing an Alpha makes you an Alpha.

We don't know how much experience actually had with bitten wolves and biting their makers. I can't imagine it's a situation that comes up a lot, hence there being a legend about biting the person who turned you turning you back. We don't know anything about bitees biting their biters turning them back. Since Derek never fessed up to lying, and Jeff has never seen fit to explain, we don't know either way.
