I think it was more of whoever was capable of protecting the area would stay and do so. Maybe there were other creatures that did this or even other werewolves. Talia was revered by many in the supernatural community so that explains why SHE would be trusted to remain there and also be granted some sort of authority over the area.

As far as we know from other sources, Talia and Derek were in Wisconsin at one point. We assume that they've now lived in Beacon Hills for awhile but whether or not there has always been a Hale there is unknown.

I just don't see where there has to be a Hale Alpha in Beacon Hills at all. IMO, I don't see the Hale family as significantly important in the overall scheme of things. I don't see them as royalty. Respected and revered? Absolutely.

Then again I don't care much for Derek. Peter to me is the only Hale that I want to know more about. Derek has always seemed boring and pathetically clueless about everything. Even if he comes back with the Holy Grail of werewolf history, I just can't stand his character the way he's been developed. He is the most uninteresting character in the entire show IMO.

Peter may have stolen the Alpha, at least for that moment in time,but whether or not he was one before or would have become one later has never been shown.

I don't know that I agree with Scott being destined to be an Alpha or Derek being born to be an Alpha.

Scott became an Alpha out of sheer will. I don't see it as it being his destiny insofar as it were due to him being the main character in the series.

Derek was born into a family of werewolves. I don't think he was born to be an Alpha. It just so happens that events transpired that put him in place to be the Alpha. As far as we know from the show....Laura was the one that was meant to be the Hale Alpha.
