Talk:Derek Hale/@comment-Maria Trimble-20120828212238

People forget that Derek's only been an Alpha for a few weeks. Of course he's not going to be at the peak of his power. I think the only reason why Peter was so much stronger as an Alpha was because he was an Alpha longer and a werewolf even longer than that. Born werewolves are probably trained in the "art" (for lack of a better term) of being an Alpha (Credit to Crusoe91; they mentioned this in an earlier post). If that's the case, Peter probably had way more training, especially since Derek and Laura's was cut short due to the house fire.
