I believe that Derek said or implied that both he and Laura had agreed that she should become the alpha but they never say how that took place. As far as we know (and this is an assumption) the Hale alpha (whether it was Talia or she was dead and had passed it on to someone else) died in the fire...so how did Laura take the alpha status if the previous alpha was dead?

If you can take the alpha status without killing the alpha I think it would be interesting and a big twist if we were to find out that Talia was already dead before the Hale fire and that Peter had been the alpha at the time of the fire. If Laura had taken his status while he was comatose thinking there was no hope for him it would shed a new light on why he killed her. Just speculation and no way it could be true unless Deaton flat out rejected being Peter's emissary (I would assume if Peter became alpha back then Deaton would have become his advisary...unless Peter killed Talia...uh oh...there I go again...lol. Anyway I just thought it was an interesting idea.
