I agree with you, it was Derek's alpha instincts, but he was genuinely terrified when Scott was dying. And in season one, Scott refused to let Derek die when he was held captive and Derek was obviously at conflict when Scott was begging him for the cure. But when Derek killed Peter and became alpha, it caused a rift between them.
