Summary: When Jackson was fourteen the Hale's, one of the most powerful werewolf packs, came to visit the Whittemore's to arrange a union between the two influential families. Jackson never wanted the union but his adopted parents gave him no choice and upon his eighteenth birthday he would be given to Derek Hale, Jackson had little intention of going quietly.
Prologue
"How're you feeling?" Jackson turned to eye his best friend unable to hide his amusement. Danny was far to good to associate with someone like himself, someone as volatile and selfish as he is.
"I'm not some chick you just deflowered Danny, I asked you for a favour, nothing more."
Jackson's reply was curt but they both knew it was so much more than a simple favour, Jackson had used the excuse of wanting to hurt his betrothed but really it was more of a goodbye. Danny was leaving Beacon Hills to return home and become an Alpha of the prestigious Mahealani Pack which he was the heir, while Jackson got to live out his final two years of freedom before becoming property of Derek Hale.
"No, definitely not a chick, as you so politely put it. I highly doubt there is a woman alive who could match your arrogance and vulgarity." Jackson grinned at Danny's attempt at an insult, to anyone else it would've been but Danny had said it with such a fond look in his eyes that it was clear their was no malice behind the words. "All the same I'd like to make sure you're alright."
There was a hopeful look to Danny and Jackson heart fell because he could see how much Danny wanted their little plan to work, but sadly humans couldn't bond to werewolves like werewolves did to each other.
"If you're asking if the bond worked then no. No, it didn't."
Danny gave Jackson a tight smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. They both knew on some level it wouldn't work, used their ignorance as an excuse to pursue physical relations.
"I could give you the bite and then we could try the bond again. It would work for sure then."
Jackson wanted nothing more than to give in. Let Danny give him the bite and than undergo the mating bond and then not even his promised union with Derek Hale could separate them. Sadly if they were both werewolves they would be subjected to the laws of the wolf and Danny would bring all kinds of trouble to the Mahealani Pack. Stealing another Alpha's betrothed, especially one as powerful as a Hale would not end well, Jackson could not and would not let him do it.
"Look Danny, we both know it wouldn't work. You'd just bring all kinds of trouble to your pack and I won't let you do it. Besides I have it all planned out, enjoy my final two years of freedom and then off myself before Derek ever gets to lay a hand on me."
It was meant as a joke, but both he and Danny knew better. That the idea of suicide at times seemed more welcome than that of a life as another's property. And the idea of never seeing Danny again hurt, but it was common knowledge that Alphas rarely allowed their mates to leave the pack grounds, because once mated a werewolf would never take another to bed again, which led to many Alphas all but locking their mates away to keep them safe.
"I'd do it you know, for you, I'd do it."
Jackson closed the short distance between them and kissed Danny firmly on the lips. "I know you would and that's why I can't let you."
The two rested their foreheads against the others for a time taking comfort in their closeness. They had so little time left, soon Jackson's body guards would be wondering why he was taking so long and tomorrow morning Danny would be gone, probably never to be seen again.
"All things aside, you are alright though? I didn't hurt you, did I? We didn't exactly take a lot of time preparing."
Jackson rolled his eyes and smiled fondly because he knew Danny far too well. He knew Danny wasn't asking if he had hurt him, he was asking if he had been good, if Jackson had enjoyed himself, but Danny being Danny was far to polite to come out and ask it.
"Yes, you thoroughly rocked my world." Jackson revelled in the large smile that broke out across Danny's features. He had been worried he wouldn't get to see that smile again before they went their separate ways, but he still couldn't resist taunting his friend a little and said in his best southern drawl "It's every girls dream to lose their virginity on the cold tile floor of the boys shower room, you really know how to treat a gal."
"Hey! I tried convincing you to let me take you back to my place but you insisted on doing it here!" Danny said defensively.
"Yeah, and how did you plan on ditching dumb, dumber and dumbest outside. Besides, how would you explain what I would be doing alone with you in your bedroom for hours?"
Jackson watched Danny sigh and deflate. Erica, Boyd and Isaac were the bane of his existence. Two years ago after the treaty had been made and Derek had sent three werewolves his own age to protect him, at least that was the excuse he had been given. Jackson knew it was to ensure Jackson came to Derek a safe and sound virgin, for whatever reason Alpha's enjoyed their mates untouched. Jackson's view on the subject was that he was already giving Derek far more than he wanted, his virginity was the one thing he would have control over. Plus it gave him a twisted sense of accomplishment knowing how pissed off Derek would be if and when he finds out.
"Speaking of the three stooges I really need to shower and get going before they come in here." Jackson walked over and grabbed a towel and his toiletries from his locker and gave himself a quick sniff. "God I stink."
Jackson felt Danny's arms slip around his waist and pull him into his strong arms, burying his nose into Jackson's neck. Jackson couldn't deny how safe he felt here in Danny's arms.
"I think you smell amazing and should skip the shower." Danny inhaled deeply into the dip of Jackson's neck taking in his scent.
"God, you werewolves are not hygienic in the slightest. You only think I smell good cause its your stink that's all over me." Jackson pulled himself free and walked into a shower stall and turned on the hot water, enjoying the warm droplets cascading off his body.
"They'll still smell me on you, you know. Other werewolves will smell me on you for quite sometime." Danny turned on the water to his own stall and Jackson pushed down the feeling of disappointment that he hadn't join him under his showerhead.
"That's the point. I want Derek to know he wasn't my first, he may get me but I'll always have today."
A silence fell between the two boys as they continued to wash. Jackson could tell Danny wanted to say something, but was trying to keep it to himself. He hoped he would, things were already far to complicated and he didn't want to hurt Danny further then tonight already would have.
He turned off the water and grabbed his towel, drying himself off as he walked back to his locker, listening as Danny did the same.
"Is that all that tonight was? A means to stick it to Derek? Everything that we did, was it all just to hurt him?" Danny's voice sounded weak, like he wasn't sure if he wanted to hear the answer.
Jackson swallowed audibly. He hated that Danny was so insecure about their relationship that he had to ask that, not that he could blame him, he's never been good at expressing his feelings. But tonight things changed, Jackson would be alone from here on and Danny had responsibilities to take care of. He desperately wanted to tell Danny the truth, that tonight had nothing to do with Derek and everything to do with them, but he knew that if he told Danny that his friend would do something stupid like challenge Derek and cause a feud. No, tonight was their goodbye and he would have to come to terms with his fate. One which didn't include Danny.
"Of course it was. Its not like I planned on jumping in the sack with you and running off together and declaring our undying love." Jackson made sure to keep his eyes on his locker, he knew it was cowardly but he really couldn't bare to see the hurt look he was sure would be on Danny's face.
Danny remained quite for sometime while Jackson slowly got dressed. He was in the middle of buckling his belt when he felt Danny's warm hand gently on his shoulder.
"If he ever hurts you call me. I'll come for you, even if I have to declare war to get you out." Danny's voice was quiet but firm, filled with such conviction.
"I know you would," Jackson said aloud as he thought to himself, that's why I'd never call.
There is nothing else for them to say, Jackson knows its time. He refuses to say goodbye, he feels by saying it, it becomes real and Danny will really be gone forever. He needs to hold on to the illusion that his one anchor in life would still be there if he needs it. Needs to delusion himself that he might get his happy ending and get to choose his own path, one which includes Danny in some way.
He bites down hard on his tongue as he listens to Danny's footfalls die out as he walks away. Clenches his eyes shut to prevent tears from falling when he hears the locker room door close marking Danny's final exit from his life. Danny had been the one person who bothered to befriend him with his body guard detail stalking him around all day.
Now the only people in his life were his adopted parents whom had auctioned him off to Derek Hale and the detachment of werewolves who reported directly to Derek himself. Somehow Jackson had deluded himself into thinking he'd have two more years of freedom before becoming property of Derek, but Danny's departure made it clear he already was.
Jackson walked out of the locker room feeling sullen and really wishing he could be alone but was immediately surrounded by his entourage.
"You reek," Erica hissed in a hushed tone.
"You got Danny's scent all over you," Isaac added.
"You let him fuck you?" Boyd said more as a statement than a question.
"Twice actually, you better call your master and tell him how you failed in your duties." Jackson's tone was cold and he didn't bother looking back. He knew they'd be indecisive about what to do, they were new werewolves and wanted nothing more than to please their Alpha. It was a little mean to put them in this situation but he had no pity for them. No one asked him what he wanted before he was bartered off to the Hale's. He hoped they'd tell Derek and Derek would decide against used goods. It was his one shot at freedom.
