Yes, Peter wanted power, but he also wanted to get rid of those who had taken the power that "rightfully" belonged to the Hales. In this way, Peter and Kate were very similar and had the same reasons for wanting to off Scott. Peter sees himself still as an alpha, but the kind of alpha who is a leader and power figure, not necessarily a literal red-glowing-eyes alpha.

Scott was an insignificant teenage boy that Peter bit to up the ante of his own alpha power. Obviously this only works if Scott were to actually follow and join Peter's pack. Scott never did this, and instead went on the attract a lot of attention, and became a True Alpha. According to Peter, Scott doesn't deserve this power because he is "morally weak" and "unwilling to end those who need to be ended", and he doesn't deserve to undermine the authority and power of the Hale clan.

Peter was trying to do was what the deadpool assassins couldn't: kill Scott and restore authoritative power to the Hales, specifically, to Peter Hale. I like this...and agree with you, that he couldn't steal the power from Scott but I do think he wanted to, remember the episode where Kate tried to steal Scott's body? and she went down to the sewers to Peter "you were right, he's still alive"

and Peter's response "Thank...God.." He seemed like he wanted him to be alive for a good reason, and it forshadowed greatly that he wanted him alive to steal his alpha spark, but then he says in the finale "A werewolf can't steal a true alpha's power" so it really makes no since, they forshadowed so much this season, and the only one that really answered was Derek becoming a wolf, I think Scott should have became the beast form he was in "Monstrous" to the full extent, like right at the moment where Peter would try and kill him, but I also loved that Scott didn't have to go that deep in his powers to beat a beta wannabe Alpha, like Peter, but like I said, the forshadowing of Peter wanting to kill Scott to become an Alpha again, and Scott's evolution, the enhanced fangs, and the new transformation in Monstrous, I was expecting that in the finale, maybe they'll make it happen later on, for a better story...but I know I wasn't the only one expecting Scott to shift into a bad ass werewolf beast in this finale...but come to think of it, a form that powerful would be a waste on a weakling like Peter...but it still would have been cool to see in action...
