Bennett89 wrote: Ever think that Deuc wanted a Hale and not specifically Derek As far as the explanation given...that he wanted Derek so Scott would join his pack I would say no. Scott would have never joined Deucalion if Peter was the one who joined the Alpha pack (that is if Peter is who you're talking about).

But then again I always found that explanation flimsy...why would Derek joining the Alpha pack cause Scott to join...he never really followed Derek in the first place.

As far as having a Hale as a trophy (if you view Ennis, Kali, and the twins as essentially trophies of the alpha's Deucalion collected) any Hale might have been acceptable. I still wonder why Talia didn't wind up being a part of the alpha pack...did Deucalion leave her out of it due to respect or was she so powerful he couldn't touch her. I know she would never kill her own (since they were family as well as pack) but something just seems off about it to me.

And if I really want to get into a twisted "I don't trust Talia" mood is it possible that Talia saw this "man of Vision" as a threat to her position (or perhaps her family). I don't really know much about wolves but I thought they were territorial or something...having so many packs in one place...why? I mean it was obviously a danger. Ennis's beta killed a hunter and the hunters go after everybody (including Derek). As a mother I think she would see the other packs in her territory at the very least as threat to the security of her family...personally I would think she would want them to leave. I don't know I just think that as a mother she would do anything to protect her family even if that meant manipulating some things behind the scenes to remove the threat. Just speculation.
