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.
