This is just a very short introduction. I wanted to show the pack together and explain how they all came to be before I went into the actual details of their lives. Stories will overlap but may only focus on a few members at a time. First up will be Matt and Danny. Look for them starting in Chapter two "The Accidental Date"
Derek let out a ran smile as he looked around the empty subway station (the rest of the pack called it the Lair) he was using as his current home. In the past few months his pack had grown, both in werewolf and human member. His eyes landed on Jackson, stretched out on a couch next to Lydia, this had all started with Jackson, Jackson wanting the bite, Jackson helping to destroy Peter, Jackson turning into the Kanima.
Fighting the Kanima had brought Scott and Derek's packs together, and had made Derek realize how much he needed the human's of Beacon Hill to survive. First it had just been Stiles, who's intelligence, research, and selflessness were invaluable. Add to it that he had been studying with Dr. Deaton, the local vet, and was learning all kinds of useful tricks, like how he had trapped the Kanima with Moutain Ash. Derek had always found Stiles annoying but useful and loyal, both traites he admired in the younger man. Stiles was sitting in a chair next to Lydia and Jackson talking animatedly, both the younger werewolf and his girlfriend seemed slightly annoyed.
Next was Allison who was sitting across of Lydia and Jackson with Scott. She had come as a package deal when Scott had joined the Pack, another one of the conditions to his joining. Derek was initially hesitant about letting the young hunter join in, but he had agreed once she had guarenteed that her parents weren't going to be an issue. Apparently after her mother had been turned, which Derek will agree wasn't his brightest move ever, both her parents decided that hunting was for them anymore. They had decided that the Argent family would still protect humans from the Supernatural, but only from Supernatural threats not from people like Derek's pack who just wanted to survive.
Derek had to agree that Allison was useful in a fight, she had proven herself against Peter, the Kanima, and against the hunters, was a master marksmen, a strategist, and knew how to track. All things that Derek could use, plus since she had connections with the hunters, she was a good source of information.
Lydia came next, not surprisingly, after Jackson's transformation from Kanima to Werewolf. The Beastiary had said that the Kanima was supposed to be a werewolf but had unresolved issues from its past, now that Jackson had made the transition he was pack, and so was Lydia. Derek had never given the girl much credit, until she translated the Beastiary from Archaic Latin, used AP calculus to figure out how much Mountain Ash would be needed to protect the Lair, and been able to recall from memory the exact ingredients and measurements needed to make a smokebomb. The girl had brains to spare, but hid them under her Queen Bee appearance. Her social standing actually made her more valuable as well as she had a ear for gossip and was able to get the pack places with her charm that Derek would have had to break bones for.
He turned away from the gathering at the coaches and moved towards a small alcove against the back wall. A few computer screens were set up with cameras to watch the entrance to the Lair and to allow for Stiles to do research if necessary. Currently the last two human members of the pack were there, Danny and Matt. Both were surprising additions, but now Derek wasn't sure why he hadn't asked them to join before. Both brought a great deal of technical experiences, Matt with his photography had helped set up the camera, while Danny's background in hacking had provided Derek with information a number of times. Their joining wasn't as easy as the other three, but they were solidly pack now.
Both had found out about the supernatural elements of Beacon Hill during the last stages of the Kanima ordeal. Danny had witness Jackson transform and had only been saved when Stiles used mountain ash against the lizard. Danny was smart enough to ask the right questions and cared enough about Jackson and the others to force his help unto them. Matt's induction had been much more sneaky. After following the members of the pack for sometime (taking pictures, getting things on film, overhearing conversation, being attacked by the Kanima a couple times) he had put most of it together on his own and had confronted Scott and Derek about it. From that point he was included, at first to keep track of him, but later as a trusted member of the pack.
The humans broughts skills and abilities to the pack that the werewolf members didn't. Scott, Jackson, Issac, Erica, and Boyd all had there own skills but, and Derek hated to admit it, none were the most strategic or intelligent. Scott had been around the longest after Derek, was quick, agile, and the most incontroll of his abilities, in addition his howl (which had started out fairly pathetic) had sense developed into a very powerful communication tool. Jackson was charming and charismatic as a person, strong and cunning as a wolf, and did a great job of keeping the pack funded, Derek had the firm belief that the skilled use of money was a trait just as valuable as Scott's howl.
Boyd was huge, almost as strong as Derek, and was intimidating as hell. Erica was quick, sexy, and thought outside the box in a fight, but overly emotional at times. Issac was sneaky, aggressive, and followed Derek's commands perfectly. All three of the newer wolves were completely loyal and snapped to attention when Derek needed them. Scott, being bitten by another Alpha, and Jackson, having been a Kanima first, both had more independence and questioned Derek, pushed him for answers, and made Derek give reasons for what he was doing. They were his Beta's and incharge in his abscence, which meant they had to be able to think for themselves and make decisions.
Five humans, five werewolves, one alpha. That was Derek's pack, and he couldn't have been prouder of them.
