A True Alpha is one that gains the status through "Strength Of Character", instead of by "Killing Another Alpha".... It doesn't say anything about killing other people. If it was simply about not killing people while you're a Beta/Omega, a lot of werewolves would have attained the True Alpha status already. There's more to the strength of character than simply not killing.

Scott has never truly submitted to an Alpha since day one and always tries to do the right thing. Always looking for the best way to resolve conflicts/issues.

There is such a thing as killing in order to protect others, like Cops do. As long as it doesn't destroy his character at all. Killing Deucalion can be the right thing because it would save a lot of lives and serve as justice for the people who have died since Deucalion turned evil. Just as a cop may have to put down a mass murderer who is holding a hostage at gunpoint.

Deucalion on the other hand, wants to TURN HIM INTO A KILLER and this will probably be done by forcing him to kill Derek in order to attain the Alpha status, which will ruin his potential to become a True Alpha because he has now gained it through the more common method. I say this because the season premise mentioned that Deucalion would be trying to turn Derek and Scott against each other and so far we haven't seen any of that yet, which means it could still happen later.

Sorry for the long essay :p
