But she was, presumedly, a Hale alpha for that long. Why did Cora not accept Laura as good enough to follow? Assuming of course that she knew Derek and Laura weren't home, while they did not know she wasn't. She would've known they weren't home and survived the Fire, and known one of them would've became alpha through succession, or if that doesn't really happen in teen wolf she'd still know there was family/pack around.
