At the end of Season 2 Jackson started to wrap himself in a sort of cocoon, and when Derek and Peter looked it up on the Hale Beastiary on Peter's computer they found out that Jackson was in a 'beta' stage and was transforming to an Alpha Kanima which they saw a picture and animation of on the computer (we never see this).

I would assume an Alpha Kanima would not need a master and would have free will while also being able to be a 'master' to the 'beta' kanimas. Again, that just my assumption.
