**The** **Hale Pack** was a centuries-old Werewolf pack that had been led by a number of different Alphas over the course of its existence, including (but not limited to) Talia Hale, Laura Hale, Peter Hale, and Derek Hale. The earliest known Alpha of the Hale Pack was Talia Hale, who led the pack during the late 20th and early 21st century until January 2005, when she and the majority of her family and pack were killed in the Hale House Fire set by Kate Argent and her cohorts. Afterward, the status of Alpha fell to Talia's eldest daughter Laura, though whether she naturally inherited the Alpha spark upon Talia's death or gained the power through other means remains unknown.

However, the only survivors of the fire were Laura, her younger brother Derek (who was at school with Laura at the time of the fire), Talia's younger brother Peter (who suffered 3rd degree burns over more than 75% of his body and had gone into a coma while his body slowly healed), and Laura and Derek's youngest sisters Cora and Hayley Hale (who was believed to have perished in the fire but who actually escaped and, believing their family to be completely dead, fled to South America), leaving Laura with no pack to lead.

As a result, the Hale Pack was inactive until January 2011, when Laura was lured back to town upon receiving news that a deer was found dead with a spiral (the Werewolf symbol for revenge) burned into its fire to investigate the appearance of Werewolves in her hometown. Peter, who had awakened from his coma but still needed more power to fully heal, was revealed to be the culprit when he killed her in the woods, absorbing her powers and becoming the Alpha himself.

With his new power, Peter began his plan to build a pack by giving Scott and Adella McCall the Bite and turning Scott into a Werewolf and Adella into a Werewolf/Werejaguar, knowing that he would need a pack to be powerful enough to get his revenge on the arsonists who set the Hale House Fire. Despite the fact that he killed Laura, Peter still managed to briefly convince Derek that her death was an accident in order to get Derek to aid him in his mission. However, his reign as Alpha did not last long, as Scott and Adella informed Derek of the truth about Laura's death—Peter and his nurse, Jennifer, purposely lured Laura to Beacon Hills so he could steal her power. With help from Allison Argent, Stiles Stilinski, and Jackson Whittemore, Derek, Scott, and Adella were able to defeat Peter, with Derek giving Peter the killing blow and taking his Alpha power for himself.

Derek's first act as Alpha was to give Jackson the Bite; however, though Derek did it under the guise of thanking him for his help in defeating Peter, in reality, he was hoping that it would kill him, as he saw Jackson as a liability. A short time later, Derek heard rumors that the Alpha Pack was coming to Beacon Hills to see him upon learning that he, as the supposedly last living Hale, had ascended to Alpha. Knowing that they would try to recruit him to their ranks, Derek began building his own pack to stand against them by giving the teenagers Isaac Lahey, Erica Reyes, and Vernon Boyd the Bite, all while continuing to try to get Scott and Adella, who were then technically Omegas, to join them as well, albeit with little success.

Derek's reign as Alpha was considered mediocre at best, with Alpha Pack members like Kali and Ennis believing him to simply be the ringleader to a bunch of "stupid teenagers," and even former Hale Pack Emissary Alan Deaton remarked that Derek was not a particularly competent Alpha, due mostly to the fact that he was so worried about the inevitable confrontation between his pack and the Alphas (as well as the threat of the Hunters) that he was focused only on gaining more power. After the Alpha Pack's arrival, Derek's pack was joined by the newly-resurrected Peter and his long-lost younger sisters Cora and Hayley Hale, but the deaths of both Boyd and Erica and the defection of Isaac to the still-forming McCall Pack were serious blows to Derek's self-esteem and pack. In the end, Derek sacrificed his Alpha spark to heal Cora's mistletoe poisoning, causing the dissolution of the Hale Pack. With Derek traveling outside of Beacon Hills and Peter alive but an Omega, the Hale Pack is currently defunct and without any Hale Alphas. As of Season 3B Cora and Hayley have become members of the McCall Pack. As of the end of Season 6, Derek has become a fully-fledged McCall Pack member, and Peter has become a valued ally of the pack as well. Derek mentioned that there are still members of his extended family living all over the United States, it is likely that other branches of the Hale Pack still exist in some form outside of Beacon Hills.
