A couple of points.

Not justifying his behavior but he did say he didn't mean to kill Laura. He was still half mad from his injuries and just beginning to recover when she returned and they met up. Again, not a justification - only explaining his motivations according tot he show.

Peter knew Derek would heal. We saw Derek break the arms to two of his Beta's this season. One was to help her heal so best intention the other was a form of disipline for a smart mouth. Apparently werewolf parenting involves quite a bit of physical abuse.

His revenge wasn't for the love of his family. It was him working out the rage over being nearly cooked alive. He can justify that any way he chooses but revenge is always about the living not the dead.
