Peter never spoke to Laura before killing her. Once again we have an example of the dangers of oft repeated false information presented as fact.

It is, based on everything we've seen, not possible to "hand off" the staus. By saying Scott achieved his status without taking it or being born to it implies those are the only options beyond becoming a true alpha. At least, that is the established canon. As we've been told repeatedly the rules are changing. But, even with the uncertainty, they've thus far only mentioned new ways to "take" the status.
