If the Alpha of a pack dies then one of the betas will take over the pack and become the Alpha. In the case of Peter Hale he killed the Alpha proving he was the strongest and he therefore became the Alpha. If, for some reason, he should die, even of natural causes or get run over by a bus or whatever then Scott or Derek would become the Alpha and wouldn't have to kill anyone.
