I don't believe that it is a permanent prohibition. It seemed implied to me that Scott could not kill before ascending to True Alpha status. If he did so it would prevent the ascension, and then he could only become an Alpha the regular way (by killing one or inheriting it). Morrell implied as much (because druids never state anything unambiguously) when talking about Deucalion's conflicted desires regarding Scott. There were mutiple routes to Scott becoming an Alpha, but only one route to becoming a True Alpha. Nothing was really said about restrictions after he became one.
