What Peter said about Jennifer was true. She needed Derek to help defeat Deucalion. By getting Derek out of town he couldn't help Jennifer meaning that Deucalion probably would have forced Scott to kill Jennifer and he would never have become a true alpha. That's the only thing that I can think of...that he wanted to remove Derek from the picture so Scott would not become the true alpha. Then again the whole thing is confusing.

Peter actually could have wanted for Derek to lose his alpha status because he didn't want to be tempted to kill him...I think Peter is keenly aware of just how dark he is inside but there may be a small part of him that does love his family (afterall he did run into a burning house to save his family once...burning himself and becomming comatose for 6 years to do it). That scene in the hospital with Cora makes me think a small part of him still cares as well (and no one was looking so he wasn't doing it for any audience). Maybe he simply wanted the tempation removed.
