My thoughts are that when Scott begins losing his confidence as an Alpha, he'll have only a few choices to turn to for guidance:

Derek: While he wasn't the greatest Alpha in the world, it couldn't hurt to get insight from him, as he is also the closest werewolf with Alpha experience to Scott. He could at least give him advice on what NOT to do based on what Derek has done, so Scott could at best be less mistake ridden than he was.

The Twins: While they haven't had experience leading a pack as Scott is basically doing, they have had experience as Alphas while Scott hasn't so it doesn't hurt to ask again.

Now these next two are the bigger impacts in terms of advice.

Deucalion: There may be a chance of a redemption story for Duke here, as with his sight returned and no pack to speak of, he's alone for now. What this could entail is Scott approaching him out of respect for being an older more powerful Alpha (yes, a previously evil one) but one who's got a LOT of experience with leading a pack. With Scott's penchant for talking things out and possibly giving second chances, he may enlist Duke as a werewolf mentor/father figure to better himself as a True Alpha and to give Duke a chance for some redemption for his past actions. Now, as it stands I don't necessarily see this lasting long with so much bad blood between Duke and everyone else, so this is what I'd assume to happen. Scott enlists Duke's help to make him into a better Alpha. After a few episodes it begins to seriously look like Duke may have turned over a new leaf as he isn't killing people and is being somewhat helpful. And then......BAM! Peter kills Duke to claim his Alpha power like he's been planning to all along! This sets off people against Peter, who's back to being a badass Alpha, Duke gets a tragic but fulfilling redemption story arc, and Scott comes to grips with being a true Alpha. Sounds good doesn't it?

Peter: Yes, THE ALPHAAAAAAAA may be approached by Scott as asking for help in being an Alpha. Of course Peter himself bit Scott, so there's that relationship going, but then you have Peter wanting the Alpha power back so he could possibly attempt to begin manipulating Scott into position where he could kill him and take the power for himself. I honestly think that Peter will regain his Alpha status somehow, so this angle I would believe to be less plausible than the above one for Deucalion.
