I don't recall Peter wanting Kate to become an Alpha. He simply wanted to kill Scott, because in his eyes he didn't diserve to be an Alpha... He just needed Kate so it wouldn't fall back on him. If everything had gone according to plan, Scott's own friends would have killed him without knowing that it was him. I don't think it was ever mentioned that Kate should kill Scott, it was always Peter's idea to have Scott's friends kill him.

Derek is now able to shift to full wolf... I don't think that this has anything to do with the Alpha status. But I think it is said that this ability is quiet rare. Talia could do it aswell and she was an alpha...
