 All indications at this point is that Peter is NOT an Alpha. He definitely suffers from "delusions of grandeur." The key here is two thing he said. 1) He said I am "THE Alpha" (not an Alpha). 2) He said "I've always been the Alpha." We know that this part is not literally true. He feels that he's the Alpha in the sense that he's in control and manipulating everything (which he WAS). I think him calling himself "The Alpha" is much the same as Deuc calling himself "Death destroyer of worlds."

 As for his plan, I think his only permanent plan is to be the most powerful. The details are probably fluid and adapt to the situation. Deaton warned Derek of all of this. He told him that Peter would be physically week and would rely on his cunning. He has calculatedly gotten rid of everything that could potentially get in his way (Gerard, the Kanima, Deuc /Alpha Pack, and now even Derek). He probably didn’t take the power from Derek or any of the other Alphas because he was healing. Deaton was right he wasn’t at full strength. I wasn’t convinced at first but think about it: the epinephrine shot and him getting beat up by the Twins wasn’t for show. I don’t think he decided that he would take the power from Scott until he found out about him becoming a True Alpha, but once he did he made plans to do it. He planted the idea in Derek’s head that Isaac would leave him for Scott. Then there was Cora. I don’t know if he poisoned Cora or he just took advantage of the situation, but he used reverse psychology to make him give up his power to heal here. Then he convinced both of them to leave beacon hills so they couldn’t get in the way. Peter’s a sociopath, but he is clever.
