I don't think he wants it. Derek feels enough guilt and insecurity over his own actions. Being responsible for others seemed like more of a burden than he could take.

Scott may be an Alpha now because of the whole "True Alpha" thing. But he has not been forced to make the same tough decisions that Derek has, largely because Derek and others often take care of threats for him, or the bad guys just kill each other, eliminating the need for Scott to make tough moral decisions.
