**The relationship between former Huntress/current Werejaguar Kate Argent and Omega Werewolf Peter Hale.**

Kate and Peter presumably met at some point in the early 2000s, when she first met Peter's nephew Derek Hale, whom Kate seduced in order to learn the secrets of the Hale Family. Kate ultimately used these secrets to orchestrate the Hale House Fire, which killed the majority of Peter's family and left him with third-degree burns to the majority of his body that were so severe that he was in a coma for six years while he slowly healed.

However, Peter was cognizant throughout his entire coma, giving him over half a decade to stew and plot his revenge against the Argents for decimating his family. When he finally started to wake up and regain his strength, he killed his own niece Laura Hale, who had inherited his sister Talia's Alpha spark after her death, so that he would have the power to create and lead his own pack. He then set out to get his revenge on all those involved in the fire, first taking out Kate's co-conspirators one by one before going after Kate herself, using the fact that he was still believed to be comatose to cloak his identity.

Their battle reached a head in Season 1's *Code Breaker*, when Peter finally confronted Kate, forcing her to apologize for what she did to the Hale Family in front of Kate's niece, Allison Argent, who had just learned about the supernatural world. He did not accept her apology—instead, he slashed Kate's throat with his claws in the Hale House ruins, seemingly killing her.

It wasn't until a year later that it was discovered that Kate had, in fact, survived the attack, and that Peter, who was then an Alpha, had actually transformed her into a Werejaguar. Peter learned this shortly before the robbery of the Hale Vault by the Benefactor's cohort and decided to forge an alliance with Kate in hopes of uniting against a common enemy-- Scott McCall, whom Peter mistakenly believed stole the power he believed was rightfully his, and whom Kate irrationally blamed for the decimation of the Argent Family.

Their partnership surprised even Kate, who admitted that Peter was someone she never thought she would trust. Unfortunately for them both, their plan to have the McCall Pack kill Scott (allowing Peter to somehow steal his Alpha powers) ultimately failed, with Peter being defeated in battle by Scott, sedated with yellow wolfsbane, and imprisoned in Eichen House, while Kate was forced to go on the run while being pursued by her brother, Chris Argent, and the Calavera Family of Hunters. As far as it is known, Kate and Peter have not interacted since the events of Season 4's *Smoke and Mirrors*.

## Throughout Teen Wolf

Keep in mind that, while Kate actively hunted Peter for the majority of the first season, she did not actually know his identity until the season finale; until that point, all she knew was that there was a new Alpha in town who was running with at least two Betas. As a result, Kate did not realize it was actually Peter she was hunting until just prior to her death.

* Season 1
* Season 4

In *Magic Bullet*, Kate was driving into Beacon Hills in her SUV, listening to the radio, initially unaware that the Alpha was pursuing her in his bestial form. She quickly began getting the feeling that she was being followed in some way, but every time she'd try to get a look at her pursuer, the Alpha would just melt back into the shadows and avoid her sight.

She looked behind her to make sure she wasn't being followed in her blind spot, but she saw nothing, turning back to face forward just in time to hit the brakes hard when she realized she was about to run a stop sign and plow into a pickup truck. After catching her breath, she was about to start driving again when she heard a loud \*thump\* on the roof of her vehicle and was visibly startled. Just as she was reaching back to grab her pump-action shotgun, the Alpha's fist broke the glass in the driver's side window and grabbed Kate by the arm, trying to pull her out of the SUV.

Screaming, "No, no, no!", Kate fought back as she finally was able to reach back and grab her gun, cocking it with one hand before shooting up through the ceiling of the SUV, which caused the Alpha to let go with a yelp and seemingly get off of the vehicle. She unbuckled her seatbelt and rolled out the passenger door, landing in a kneeling three-point stance as she looked around her surroundings, aiming her gun with her line of sight, but unable to see where the Alpha went.

Finally, she yelled, "Come on!" and fired off a warning shot in hopes of goading the Alpha into making a move so she could finally see what she was up against, but when nothing happened, she simply smirked and cocked her gun again in preparation for another shot, making it clear she was very much enjoying this game.

At some point during this standoff, the Alpha roared, which, unbeknownst to Kate, caused the Alpha's newly-bitten Beta, Scott McCall, to be drawn to their location to see what was going on; additionally Derek Hale, who, like Kate and Scott, did not know who the Alpha was, secretly came out to investigate for himself as well. Kate eventually determined that she wasn't in immediate danger and got into the trunk of her SUV, where she grabbed a sniper's rifle and a bullet from a wooden box that had a purple flower printed on the top.

Meanwhile, the Alpha was scoping out the scene from the roof of a nearby building, and when Derek caught sight of him, he started to chase the Alpha, drawing the attention of both Kate and Scott, the latter of whom was hidden behind a closer building and watching the scene unfold. Kate eventually saw Derek chasing the Alpha across the roofs of the buildings (though it's unknown if she knew at this moment that the smaller Werewolf was Derek, she seemed to be under the impression that the wolves were working as a pack and not individuallly) and took aim, shooting Derek in the forearm with her sniper rifle and causing him to fall to the ground, allowing the Alpha to escape.

The pursuit finally ended when Kate's brother, Chris Argent, arrived to pick her up, angry that she exposed herself as a Hunter in such a public place. Kate informed Argent that there were two Werewolves, and when Argent asked if one of them was the Alpha, she admitted that she didn't know—what she *did* know was that one of them tried to kill her. Argent, still irritated, pointed out that one of them was meant to lead them to the other, and that the one she shot couldn't do that if he was dead, but Kate argued that she couldn't help kill either of them if one of them killed her first.

Argent, acknowledging that she had a point, asked how long it would take for the poisoned bullet to kill the victim, and she stated it would be forty-eight hours at most. Though Derek, due to being weakened by the wolfsbane, did not hear Kate, Scott did, he just did not know that it was Derek who had been shot with the bullet.

The next night, Kate once again began discussing the Alpha with Argent, with Kate describing the Werewolf who attacked her as being big and powerful, while the one she shot was lean and fast. Argent assumed that the latter was Derek Hale, and when Kate asked if he was sure, Argent shrugged and replied, "Mostly." Kate went on to ask how they know it's just the two of them, but Argent, conceding that they *didn't* know yet, reminded her that if Derek was still alive, he'd lead them to the Alpha.

Kate was visibly excited by the prospect of taking down the pack by taking down the pack leader, but Argent reminded her again that they were going to go by the Hunter Code to do it, leading Kate to mock him for his steadfast allegiance to it. Argent insisted that it was there for a reason, and Kate, knowing it was a losing battle, lied and assured him that she "always played by the rules" before taking a long match and lighting it, implying that she was the one who caused the Hale House Fire six years prior.

In *The Tell*, Kate, seeking information for her family regarding the Alpha, took two other Hunters to the Hale House ruins in order to ambush, incapacitate, and interrogate Derek Hale, who had just returned to Beacon Hills after a six-year absence following the Hale House Fire, on what he knew.

After tasing Derek and holding him at gunpoint, Kate offered him information in return for his help in tracking down the Alpha, though it was clear that she was enjoying how hurtful the information she was about to share would be for Derek to hear. She admitted that, while the Argents *did* cut his sister Laura's body in half and use her as bait to lure him back to Beacon Hills (an event which Kate claimed was too gruesome even for her, though the validity of the statement is anyone's guess), they didn't kill her—the Alpha did, and they just found the body.

Naturally, Derek didn't believe her, referencing their history by stating that it wouldn't have been the first time she had lied to him, but Kate advised that Derek listen to her heartbeat and once again stated that they didn't kill his sister. Kate went on to say that all Derek had to do was tell them who the Alpha was, and the Argents would happily do the honors of killing him on his behalf, an outcome which Kate believed resulted in both of them being happy.

However, when Derek remained silent, Kate realized that he, too, had no idea who the Alpha was, and proceeded to declare that Derek was useless to her before pulling her own gun on him. Fortunately for Derek, he was fast enough to sprint out the door and into the woods before she could shoot him.

## Trivia

* Peter was the second Hale to have a connection with Kate after his nephew, Derek. However, while Derek was unaware of Kate's true identity and intentions toward his family while she seduced him prior to the start of the series (and again in Season 4 after she manipulated him into allowing her entry into the Hale Vault after he had been temporarily de-aged and lost his memories of Kate's betrayal years earlier), Peter had full knowledge of who he was working with when he teamed up with her in Season 4.
