In the beginning of season 2, the guy desired power so much he turned three gullible teenagers into his Betas. After being an Alpha for awhile, he realized that he sucked and that everything he did hurt others so he opted to accept going back to being a Beta/Omega(Whatever he is now)

He didn't even want the power in s2. He needed it because he knew the Alpha Pack was coming, and thought he needed the strength of a pack to defend against them. Something to keep in mind is that, before Haynes decided to leave the show, the Alpha Pack was supposed to be there for something involving Jackson and the Kanima. But seeing as Colton Haynes decided to leave, they had to change it. Please refer to point seven >>>> http://www.zap2it.com/blogs/teen_wolf_season_3_spoilers_what_to_expect_from_showrunner_jeff_davis-2012-08 <<<<< Derek's action of building the pack to protect everyone was a bad idea in retrospect because of the changes they had to make to the storyline, but were probably, if they had been able to stick to the original plan, been a good idea.
