When your a natural(Born)were creature you can can shift into a full wolf. But if your a cursed(bitten or scratched) were creature you only turn half way. I think that's why she can go full coyote without having to be an alpha. Then again we could always go by the whole "sometimes the shape you take reflects the person that you are" rule.

You do realize that Cora and Derek and the whole Hale family were all BORN werewolves, right? So your theory about only bitten werewolves shift partly and born werewolves shift fully is false. Cora and Derek were both born werewolves and they shift partly. It has nothing to do whether they are born or bitten, only alphas (with the exception of the Twins) can shift fully. Omegas/Betas shift party whether born or bitten.
