Alpha status has zilch to do with whether or not you have a pack -- but an Alpha with no pack will be weaker than an Alpha with a full pack. I think there may be a difference though with becoming a true Alpah as opsed to one that inherits it or kills for it. Plus Peter does start a pack after becoming one by biting Scott and  eventully recruting Derek. Yes. The difference is a True Alpha rises to Alpha status through their own strength of character and will. They said it like four times throughout season 3a. But you still don't need a pack to be an Alpha.

And like Bigwolfonbase said, Peter tried to build a pack but he was an Alpha already. Derek also became an Alpha at the end of season 1 and spent season 2 trying to build a pack because he didn't have one despite being an Alpha.
