That is speculation only. Why would it skip him due to an injury when it could heal him? That theory makes absolutely ZERO sense. Talia took a full wolf form as did Laura. This indicates a family that is matriarchal. The Alpha power would pass to the women first. There is absolutely NOTHING in the show that has indicated that the power was supposed to go to Peter. It might be speculative but it might not be so far off the mark...Jeff Davis said that Peter Hale was loosely based on lago from Othello. Never read Othello but from what I understand all of his villianous actions were because he was passed over for promotion...Othello gave the position he wanted to someone else and from there on out lago plotted to destroy Othello.
