Eh, kind of but not exactly. When Derek said it, he was speaking in reference to Peter. Peter had been the only Alpha in the show during the first season, and since they didn’t know who he was at first, they just referred to him as “The Alpha.” Once Derek killed him he was basically saying Peter is no longer an Alpha, “I’m the Alpha now.” He was saying it very matter-of-factly since there was only one around at the time.

Peter on the other hand here is speaking figuratively (especially since he’s not even an Alpha). He was saying that he is THE Alpha definitively, implying that that he is in control of everything, like he was above just having real/actual Alpha status. Derek had no such delusions of grandeur. agreed :)
