Derek wouldn't be able to help him anyway. Derek had no idea how to use an Alpha's special powers (except for the increased strength). This is probably because his mother was his Alpha, and his older sister was next in line. He very likely never expected that he would ever become an Alpha, and never learned anything how their powers worked because he didn't think he'd need to know.

Peter, on the other hand, was blatantly plotting to kill his sister and niece even before the fire, and that is why he knows so much about Alpha powers.
