While I certainly believe that would make a powerful emotional scene, I find it highly unlikely that Derek will be killed off the show. Scott is still trying to find his way through understanding his werewolf abilities as well as just regular high school life. As a high schooler I can understand the stress he is going through, and Derek serves as an older, cooler, and more powerful sort of role model for Scott. Another way the script writers might look at Derek is a possible new villain. His last act of the season was one of pure impulse and he effectively annihilated all chances of Scott returning to a normal human life. Another thing to note is that when he killed his uncle and became the new Alpha, his eyes turn red, which is a symbolic color of evil. When taking all of this into consideration, it seems highly unlikely that Derek will be killed off in season two.
