like becoming like Peter ... what if the power he felt over shadowed his morals hence why he killed Liam

I think Liam, in Scotts dream, represented a form of innocence and ....idk somehting that Scott saw in himself before he become a Alpha. I agree completely. The dream is a manifestation of Scott's worst fears. He's been holding back, but due to the extreme circumstances, he may be starting to let go. However, upon discovering his new fangs, he's fears he's changing too much, and he fears the monster he may become. To him, the most monstrous thing to do is kill someone innocent. In his mind, Liam is a symbol of innocence.

He worries that by letting go and giving in, he will lose control and kill someone undeserving.

I also think that the grin that spread across Scott's face after murdering Liam was very significant. Scott not only fears that he will murder someone, he's terrified that he will ENJOY it.
