I think you're a bit confused about the king thing. The king's brother would rightly take the throne as King George IV did after his brother, Edward VIII abdicated the throne in 1936.

The fact is we don't know how it works on the show but with actual wolves the most capable member of the pack is usually the Alpha. That's usually an older, wiser wolf that is still able to fight well enough to demand the respect of the others. Peter should have been Alpha but did not meet the basic qualifications.
