Gerard only came to town bc of Kate's death, he wanted revenge. There's no way Derek or Peter could've known they were coming beforehand. What they did know is that the Alpha Pack was on their way. Knowing the same thing, they took two different routes, Peter was more calculated, he turned one Beta, eventually hoping to get Derek on his side. Derek was sloppy, so he stupidly turned three Betas at once. It was too much for him to handle, two of them died and the other left.

Seeing what happened with Derek, I still think that Peter made made the better choice. Well, Peter knew Gerard, and knew what he was capable of. And I'm sure he knew that killing Kate (along with Chris/Allison/Scary Redhead) was pretty much a declaration of war, from Gerard's perspective. It'd be fairly easy to predict him coming after the Alpha who messed with his family. Though you're right, a large part of it was the Alpha Pack.
