this is interesting as Tahlia was a full-wolf, maybe she was a true alpha, we don't know for sure, but her being a leader of sorts, was it due to her ability to transform? or did she ascend to that level through her leadership and transform into a full wolf later? i don't know if that made sense, but i hope everyone understands the theory behind it!

Maybe Laura took after Tahlia as a person (maybe she was a true alpha as well we don't know, just because they are rare and come along once in a 100 years according to deaton, it doesnt seem to be a set-in-stone rule from what I gather) and became a Full Wolf due to her succession in the pack as a leader after Tahlia's passing, rather than a genetic inheritance of the transformation.

peter's beast-like transformation seems to be because he was more animal than man at the time, running on pure instinct, and it will be interesting to see if he regains that form in 3B or season 4.

someone remind me of the reasons why jackson became the kanima again? slipped my mind.

Deucalion turning from good to pure sadistic and demonic evil is pretty self-explanetory for the 'how is he able to become a demon-wolf' question.

i think it's all to do with character. Maybe the alphas that couldn't wolf out to the extent of Deuc, Peter, Tahlia, Laura etc weren't as fully embracing of their alpha status for either one of two reasons: they are not the leader of their pack (Ennis, Kali, Twins) or they are confused/conflicted (Derek, I think?)

This is all just my theories behind the transformation variations, I don't claim any of this as fact but any feedback would be appreciated! Talia derek mother was the leader of her community beccause she had the rare abillity to shift to a actual wolf as gerard stated. its been assumed laura inherited alpha from her mother since she was the 2nd oldest in the family and was alive as peter was in a coma.

jackson became the kanima cause it had to do something with his past and his identity

Jeff davis already said all alphas can shapeshift into other forms Thanks for reminding me about why Jackson became the Kanima.

Back to werewolves, we know about Tahlia being a leader and being able to shift into a full wolf, but you have to remember, we found this out from Gerard's story.

I am speculating that True Alphas can turn into full wolves. I repeat, I am SPECULATING that True Alphas can turn into full wolves.

It seems to fit with Gerard saying the ability was rare and with Deaton saying that true alphas were rare. I know all alphas can shift into other forms (Deuc-Demon Wolf, Peter-Beast etc) as Jeff Davis said, but don't you think it's fitting that a True Alpha can shift into a "True" wolf?

Gerard may not be aware of the distinction between regular alphas and True Alphas, so he may have differentiated Tahlia Hale by her ability to shift into a full wolf for his story. Remember he may not have been telling the whole truth either as scott didnt exactly believe everything he said.

As for Laura, if she inherited her mother's character, surely it is somewhat reasonable to suggest her mother raised her to also be a true alpha?

I'd be willing to bet that Scott isn't the only true alpha we hear of in the show in seasons 3B and 4 Gerard stated the full wolf actual form is rare amonge werewolves.
