There's a rumor going on that because alpha's power can only be stolen by someone in his pack, he wanted Malia to be the one that kills Scott.. She's wild, and unlike others, she would kill if it comes down to herself and someone else. And since Peter can't take Scott's power, might as well his daughter do it.

Which I call absolute bs. If that was the plan all along, one berserker could strangle Scott, while the other brings Malia and makes her kills Scott (like how the Alpha pack made Derek kill Boyd).

So I think you're right. The whole thing was dragged because the story had to be completed to 12 episodes..
