Been discussing some theories with Nw0ng and think we may have stumbled upon something related to a possible “Potential” for Derek in regards to his family what we think could be his arc for 3b and future seasons. We all know that Talia was the Hale family matriarch, but that doesn’t mean that the Hales are matriarchal such as the Argents. In Packs/families such as the Hales who appeared to be somewhat “Regal” in the Wolf world due to how respected Talia was and the kid’s reaction to seeing Derek in the woods and saying “You’re one of them aren’t you? A Hale?” I feel that the Alpha in the family chooses a successor based on potential, leadership abilities, and various other traits and then transfers that Alpha status to said successor when they get too old or something. I feel that Derek was next in line, and not Laura, based off a few things. The first would be how we all know Scott is a great leader due to him becoming a True Alpha, but Derek could also posses that Leadership ability since Peter said Derek was a lot like Scott when he was younger (before all the bad shit happened to him). Secondly, Deaton told Derek that Talia made him promise her to look after Derek, but he only said Derek’s name and not Laura’s or her children/family. This would explain why Peter is the way he (esp to Derek) is mostly because not only did he have to sit around and watch his sister be a powerful, and well respected Alpha who shifts into a full wolf, but also have to sit around knowing that her son, and not him, was next in line to be the Hale Alpha. Deaton possibly knew this and the evidence for that would be when he told Derek that Peter was going to come after him, and twist his way into his mind and he’s not to be trusted. Nw0ng pointed out that Peter wants to be the one to rebuild the Hales to their former glory and wants “to go down in the history books” instead of again sitting and watching his nephew be the one to restore the Hale name. I feel that this “Item” that Derek went off to retrieve will greatly confirm or deny this theory based on the fact that if this Item is so important and valuable to the Hale family then why didn’t Peter know about it or try to every get it. Maybe Talia passed it along to Derek. We also said that Derek left after the fire becase after Kate and Paige he was too emotionally tore down to want to deal with being the one to do all of this and instead left this task up to Laura. Now that we have seen Derek’s growth start to pay off (his actions in the finale) maybe he finally realizes what he has to do and is wants to do it so he goes to get this Item to become “The person/wolf he was meant to be”.

Very good theory ^--^ i read everyline tells you how great it is.

I personally believed that to about derek was the one who was going to be the successor of the family but He did not want to be a alpha instead laura choice to be it
