We have no concrete information on how Laura became Alpha. It's my theory that she was best equipped of the remaining Hale's so she got the job.

Think about it. Peter was completely incapacitated so he's out. That leaves Laura and Derek. Either Laura was the oldest and it fell to her automatically or Derek didn't want it or maybe they're going to develop more of a story from that root and his non-alpha status was forced upon them.

As far as Scott is concerned. Peter is Scott's maker, for lack of a better term, he would naturally be Beta on par with Derek while Peter was alive.

Since Peter died, he has chosen not to take orders from Derek thus the "your not my Alpha" line. But he still works with him and the others so not one of them is alone or an Omega so everyone but Derek remains a beta.

Again this is as far as we know from what we've seen. The canon on the pack situation and the different designations of the types of werewolves is not set in stone so we're only going off what we've seen.
