last thing ill say about it, i promise.

peter had control of scott, as shown i "night school". derek told scott that he was The Alpha's beta, and that he was trying to get rid of what was holding scott back. so peter had at least one beta.

yes derek bit jackson, but he admitted to scott that he was trying to get rid of jackson because he didn't expect him to survive the bite, and jackson never became a werewolf, hence no added beta powers to derek.

ok im done. cross my heart.
