Kinda of like in season one when Derek told Scott ther might be a way to change him back. That was a legend too. Well that wasn't a legend. It was a straight up lie so that Scott would help him defeat the Alpha.

We've never been told that in the show, and I can't recall a time when Jeff confirmed that. It can't be a lie anyway, when Derek deliberately told Scott it was just a legend, and he wasn't sure it was true Derek knew (and we know too) that killing an Alpha makes you an Alpha.
