I think your just connecting dots that don't need to be connected. There's not enough of a pool of circumstances to suggest that there's anything special about the hales other than the fact that Talia could fully shift. Scotts transformation to True Alpha was due to his strength of character. Jacksons to a Kanima was due to his lack of identity. Scott and Peter got captured because 1 they ran across hunters so any werewolves would have been captured or killed and 2 because the hunters were looking for someone in particular that they felt that both of them knew. Derek actually thought the person the hunters were looking for was his sister. Its also already been confirmed that Peters form was because they needed to make the first season big and wanted to dehumanize the villian as well as they don't have the money to keep doing it. If you want to go to in show theories though realize that no one in a position of knowledge has acknowleged that peter was in any way special or really that the hale line was in any way special. No ones ever made a comment stating that Peters form was special. The hunters never looked surprised when they saw him and the twins never even made it sound like it was something special. The only persons who's power was really made out to be something different were talia and deucalion.
