- The group of alphas, alpha pack, are indeed the werewolves in town. This was confirmed in the finale and was revealed to be the big impending threat mentioned during the season. It was revealed by Peter: when word of a new Alpha gets out, the alpha pack shows up to challenge him/ her, so they have come to town because of Derek. Derek knew they were coming so this was actually the primary reason for his quick assembly/ training of a pack. The mark on the door of Derek's house at the end of the finale was their mark to tell him they were there. The symbol appeared to be 3 "A's" in a circular pattern.

- I think Scott's father has nothing to do with any of this, he's just not involved in Scott's life, not a character on the show, not relevant. Scott was made a werewolf, not born a werewolf. Having his father also turn out to be a werewolf (or a hunter) would be much too coincidental, therefore not a believable storyline. Also, Scott's mom was much too oblivious, and then much too freaked out, to have had any prior supernatural exposure.

- They won't kill off Derek. Mainly because it's a TV show and they want high ratings. They aren't going to kill off the "hot guy" who is popular among female fans. Derek will stick around until the series ends (unless the actor leaves/ wants more money). Also, the Derek - Scott conflict/ dynamic is a large part of the show and Derek is the only main character with any supernatural knowledge/ experience (the vet and Peter are secondary characters). Without Derek, we'd just have a bunch of "newly werewolved" teens running around clueless and teen on/ off relationship drama. It would get boring fast.
