This is how I have planned for Jackson to receive the bite in my verse. In mine he was bitten by Peter after Peter left Stiles and before he made it out to the Hale house to kill Kate. I never really thought that Derek would bite Jackson, not with the others that he did bite. I can understand why he shied away from Jackson with what happened to Paige, but at the same time, he took no responsibility with him either. Not until it was too late, and that is so unlike the character that is throughout the whole freaking show. He takes all the blame and keeps taking it whether it was his fault or not. So this is how I like to think things went down, or at least something like this. Enjoy!
As I stand outside the room Lydia is lying in I am trying to understand what happened to her. All I got was a short call from Stilinski saying that if I didn't get his ass to the lacrosse field Lydia would die. Even though we weren't dating anymore, doesn't mean I want her dead. Really I do still love her, but if I'm going to become a werewolf I want to not only protect her, but keep her out of that world. From all the shit that McCall has gotten himself into there is no way I am going to drag her into it.
The easiest way of doing that was to break up with her. When I got to her there was blood everywhere and a very visible bite mark to the side of her abdomen. She was barely breathing and it took all I had not to freak out. I mean she was bitten by the Alpha and she was going to turn into a werewolf, if she survives. Stilinski was very convinced there was a possibility she might not make it. Like the bite might actually kill her.
Standing out here watching her fade in and out of consciousness is almost unbearable, but there really isn't anything else I can do. Then there is a hand on my shoulder and a man in a leather trench coat attached to it. No one seems to notice him, and honestly I wouldn't have either, but it's when I look his face I see something out of place.
There is a small bit of dried blood crusted at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes keep flashing to a bright red. This has to be the Alpha. For a moment my feelings are conflicted. This is the man that can give me everything I could ever want, and at the same time, he is the man who hurt Lydia. "So, I see Little Red managed to get a hold of you. Good thing too. She doesn't seem to be taking too well to the gift I gave her." My body stills as I feel the sharp prick of claws where his hand rests. "Maybe I should have given it to someone more deserving. Someone stronger. Can you think of anyone like that?"
Just when I need my voice the most, it leaves me completely. I haven't felt this afraid since Derek caught me in the hallway at the school and dug his claws into the back of my neck. That hadn't been the most pleasant of experiences. I kept getting flashes of memories that I know weren't mine. "Well, do you?" His voice gets sharper and the claws dig in a little more. All I can do is simply nod my head. His smile turns into a feral grin and he guides me with a forceful hand to the elevator. I take one last look back at Lydia and with a sense of confidence turn my back to her and continue down the path that is set for me.
If I take the bite, which it looks like won't be much of a choice anymore, I will be stronger and faster. If Lydia turns then we can get back together, I can apologize to her for being such an ass and we can live in our superiority together again. I know she'll take me back, probably after a lot of begging on my part, but she will take me. "Ah, Jackson, true love. Isn't it beautiful." He leans in and brushes his nose against the back of my neck. It takes all I have not to brush him off and take a step away from him. "I know this is what you want, so there is no point in hiding it. You keep badgering Scott to get it for you, so here I am offering. But if I give you this gift, and it is a gift, you will belong to my pack. You will follow me. I won't stand for anything less."
"What does that mean?" I can't help the slight waiver that comes out. Scott wasn't part of this lunatic's pack, so what means that I have to be?
"It means that after tonight, you will become my third Beta, Lydia possibly my fourth. Scott and Derek won't have much of a choice but to fall in line. I won't give them any other options, besides death. And I highly doubt either one of them would rather be dead, would you?" He takes my silence as agreement. "Perfect. Now, the change happens differently for everyone. Scott had a mostly peaceful transition. Lydia is not. So after you are bitten, it would be good of you to go home and hide out in your bedroom. We wouldn't want your new abilities to overrun yourself now would we."
"What are you going to do to make McCall and Derek fall in line?" Mostly I want to know out of morbid curiosity, but also because I want to know what to expect later on.
"Well, I am going to avenge my family, and they are going to be witnesses. If that isn't enough to convince them I am sure that they can be persuaded by other means." His other hand comes up in front of us showing off the dirty looking claws that could shred through me with one clean swipe. Something that I will be able to do soon enough. "If not, then I shall have to deal with the problem and search out for other Betas. Perhaps that little friend of yours, Danny I think it was." My heart ratchets up a few beats per second. I don't want Danny in on this. He is my best friend, and unlike Stilinski, he is normal and shouldn't have to deal with this supernatural shit. I just want the power. Screw whatever else happens with this. "Don't like that idea? Well then you better hope that Scott and Derek see sense."
We have now made our way to the back end of the parking lot that backs up against the tree line. Almost everything in Beacon Hills hits trees in some direction. We get to a car that seems to be his and he opens the back door then proceeds to shed his jacket and button up shirt before turning back to me. "Now, let's get this over with. I have places to be and people to kill. Just lift your shirt if you wouldn't mind, easiest place to get a good mouthful. Oh, by the way, my name's Peter. Nice to meet you." The way he says it and the look in his eyes are terrifying. But at this point, if I want this, I am out of options. And I do want it. So I lift my shirt and before I know what's happening, his mouth is full of razor sharp teeth and then it is on me in a flash. The pain makes my vision go white for a moment before I am able to catch myself on the hood of the car.
Peter, because now I know his name, is off of me almost as fast as he was on. He is pulling out a spare t-shirt and hands it to me to stop the bleeding that has started from where his maw just left. "Now, be a good boy and go home. If I hear you out tonight I will be one unhappy Alpha. And believe me, you don't want me to be unhappy." I am still a bit dazed by the turn of events and I am not quite sure what is even going on. "Go on, off you get." He waves his hands in a motion dismissing me. And I stumble away back to my car to head home. I got what I wanted, not really the way I wanted it, but I got it. Now things can only get better.
So I have more of theses planned, but let me know what you think, and what you want to see! Thanks!
