One or both of Peter's parents were werewolves and, like Derek, he was born with the werewolf gene - so he'll always be a natural werewolf. Derek took Peter's Alpha powers before Peter died, therefore Peter did not come back as an Alpha. He used Derek's Alpha powers combined with the power of the full moon to bring himself back to life, but he did not take Derek's Alpha powers away when he did so.

Since Peter doesn't have a pack yet, so he is currently an OMEGA. Once he builds his strength back up, though, he'll probably try to take the Alpha role away from Derek - we'll see!
