If you recall, there's a bit in Dreamcatchers where Liam brought Mason to a pack meeting and Stiles told him "We told you that you could tell him (about the supernatural); not invite him into the inner circle."

Mason wasn't always part of the pack. In fact, he asked if he was "in the inner circle" and Liam and Stiles told him that he wasn't. That was in 5a, IIRC. Skip to the "Escape from Eichen" plan and Mason was a key part to the "escape" part of the plan.

Some time between being told he wasn't in the inner circle, to his role in "Escape from Eichen," he became a pack member. If I had to guess, I'd wager it happened the night he stopped Liam from killing Scott in the library. Exactly.

But maybe at a certain point we're gonna have to start to create different terms to define what people are in Scott life. With this I mean there's the pack and there's the "pack".

Malia, Stiles, Lydia, Kira, Mason. They had/have a friend relationship with Scott, but they aren't werewolves.

And there's Liam and now Hayden. Werewolves created by Scott.

If we go into technicalities only Liam and Hayden are by right Scott real pack. The others are Scott friends and allies at best.
