I think the Hale family has to be thought of in a different way. It was a special family among werewolves. I think when Talia died in the fire, Peter should of become the alpha, but he was near death so the power went to Laura instead, who I believe was the eldest of the Hale children. If Laura somehow died in the fire as well, under all the circumstances, I think Derek would of inherited the role of the Hale alpha and Cora, the youngest, would of been the next in line.
