I think his journey on the show is about his guilt over his family member's deaths, about his battle with loneliness, and his acceptance and hope of a better future.

I honestly don't care that he's not an Alpha, I think he'll make an excellent Beta, and a great advisor to Scott. Unlike Deaton, Derek can actually provide some insight on how it is dealing with the inner wolf. Actually that could be a journey of any of the natural born werewolves. Most of them have suffered at the hands of the hunters in one way or another...they've all lost family members to them....and I would say most of them suffer loneliness just from the fact that they have to hide themselves from the rest of the world. Without family and packs they are isolated just because of what they are.

And as for Derek, I honestly don't think he made a great alpha but I really don't want to see him in Scott's pack. Working together with him (for me) works well enough.
