Derek stated in season 1 to scott while showing him his uncle peter on what happen that night. he said while he was at school with his sister the hunters set their house of fire killing his family including normal human and children. Cora and peter made it out. And yes it was kate who did it with help That information comes from the webisodes Search for the Cure from Season 1...don't know whether they consider that canon or not...I thought at one time Jeff had said that they were going to explore it but I don't know if he dropped it or not especially since I went spoiler free in season 2. Anyway I found this on tumblr...it kind of sounds like what was in the webisodes...don't know if it's exact or not:

"When I connected the woman to the werewolf myth, I found that there were differences between those born and those bitten. Those families who were born into it were said to have a ritual, once a year. On the Wolf Moon…They called January the Wolf Moon because hungry wolves would howl outside the villages in mid-winter.”

"What was the ritual?"

"It’s like a family reunion. They would get together and preform rights of passages. They would draw power from one another. Supposedly they were stronger together in packs. The alpha, the beta, and then the omegas, the lowest of the low; they all each contributed to the strength of the pack."

In the scene Scott and Stiles are talking to a doctor (I think...one that treated Talia) who is an expert on werewolves if I'm not mistaken.
