Laura Hale

Laura Hale is a born werewolf. She is the eldest daughter of the powerful Alpha Talia Hale and Samuel Clarke. She is the wife of Colette Destiny and the mother of Bonnie Hale. She is the sister of Derek and Cora Hale, and the niece of Peter Hale, the paternal cousin of the Werecoyote Malia Tate. She is the sister-in-law of Aurora Pierce and the aunt of Bexley, Talia, Declan, Clarke, and Emery Hale.

After the majority of her family were killed in the Hale house fire, Laura inherited her mother's powers and became the Alpha of what remained of their pack. She and Derek then went on the run from the Argent family of Werewolf hunters, who they believed to be responsible for the fire, eventually settling down in New York. Six years after the fire, Laura returned to her hometown of Beacon Hills, California in order to investigate a dead deer with a spiral carved into its body, a sign for revenge in werewolf culture, which Laura took to be a message to her family.

Shortly after her return, she was killed by her uncle Peter, who had recently come out of his coma and who was eager to steal her Alpha spark and become an Alpha himself, healing what remained of his burns with his augmented power and allowing him to begin to build a new pack with which to enact his revenge against those who were involved with setting the fire. Though her time on-screen was limited, Laura's death and its subsequent consequences became the basis for the entire series—her absence led her brother Derek to return to Beacon Hills as well to check on her, it was her Alpha spark that made Peter an Alpha, and it was news that her body was found in the woods that led Scott McCall and Stiles Stilinski to go out and search for it, allowing Peter to bite and turn Scott into his first Beta and pulling him into the supernatural side of Beacon Hills.

She is brought back to life only a month after her death by Aurora.

Laura was a member of the Hale family and a former Alpha to the Hale pack.
