After watching the final episode of Season 4 again, I started thinking about the evolution to which Derek was talking about that happened to him during the entire season. It seems to me that all werewolves start out as Betas with the simple form (side"fur", claws, four fangs, misshapen face, etc.) and continue to use that form even after becoming Alphas (seeing as Ennis, Derek, and Scott still used that form). Now, regarding the Alpha's on the show (Derek, Scott, Ennis, Deucalian, Peter, and Talia/Laura (explained in a bit)), Peter had a more animalistic/monsterous form because of his manipulation and demonic thoughts for revenge. Being in a coma and healing for 6 years was what made him the animal/monster that he was in S1. In the S4 final his Beta form resembles a less demonic looking Deucalian which can be connected to the fact that Peter is more in touch with his animal side. As Scott said, [Peter] was always a monster.

With Deucalian, he wasn't as in touch with his animal side. He was a peaceful Alpha and even brought Ennis down in the flashback. In the S3A final we see his Alpha form as the demonic wolf and he took that form because of his revenge on the Durach (killing all his Betas). The reason he didn't take on the monsterous form that Peter had in S1 was because Deucalian wasn't as much a monster as Peter was. Regarding Ennis and why he didn't have the demon form like Deucalian did (even though he killed his Betas) was because Ennis cared about his Betas more than Deucalian did and only joined to be with Kali (as did Kali to be with Ennis). Ennis wasn't in touch with his animal side nor was he a monster, which was why he still had the "normal" werewolf form.

Moving on to Talia's/Laura's/Derek's full wolf transformation, it seems as if all werewolves (Alpha's, Beta's, and Omega's) can obtain this form. Now to obtain this form, it seems as if a werewolf has to learn to die as a human (without power) before becoming the full wolf. Once they face death properly they will obtain the full wolf status and have all their powers back, knowing they don't have to be a werewolf to live. The process of which Talia/Laura learned this isn't shown, but it is probably similar to how Derek achieved it. Regarding Derek's evolution, I believe it started when he faced the beserkers to save his friends in S4E2 and was reverted to his older self. Despite returning to his former self he lost his blue eyes (which described a pinnacle point in his past (losing Paige)). After that, he slowly started losing the powers that made him a werewolf and he had to start using other means to survive (using a gun, teaming up with others, etc). Once he reached the point in his life that he knew he would be saving others and knowing fully well he wouldn't return he had reached the full evolution to live without the power.
