If it's linked to the Hales bloodline, I don't know.

Malia is the werecoyote and I guess the reason she can turn into a full coyote is b/c its different for them than it is for werewolves. Talia was able to take the shape of a full wolf b/c she was an alpha. It's never been stated in the show that only Alphas can turn full wofl. That's an assumption being made due to Talia and Laura. I can't quite recall where I saw it, but in an interviw Tyler H. was talking about the wolf form being indicative of complete and total control over your abilities, not your Alphahood. If it wasn't, if it was just some random Alpha ability, then it wouldn't be as rare and special as it was made out be when Talia first hit the scene. It certainly wouldn't have warranted her any extra respect. Its been said that only alphas have a extra shift and so far we've only seen the full wolf form twice and both times it was an alpha Has it been said that only Alphas have an extra shift, or just that all Alphas have an extra shift. Think carefully, the creators in these kinds of shows love to use technicalities to screw with you. And always remember, until it's stated in the show, the writers reserve the right to retcon our asses. Dont remeber the exact words but dont you think if it was possible for all werewolves to turn into a wolf then we would've see Derek do it b/c he's a very expeirenced werewolf and since the show started we've always seen Derek in control of his abilities, the one werewolf we've seen in this show who has never lost control is Derek. True, but Derek has also shown himself to be ignorant in certain areas of werewolf lore. For example, back in S3a, when he needed to get information from Isaac, he had to call Peter in to do it for him. And this wasn't just an Alpha ability which he had no way of doing before, it just required training and skill. The impression I got was that the full wolf form was related to complete mastery of your werewolf abilities, not extreme competence in certain areas.
