What I'm about to say is in no way canon information, it's only a theory.

I think becoming a Werewolf by drinking rain water from the pawprint of a Werewolf only happens under specific circumstances.

1- It probably has to be during a full moon.

Otherwise there would be way too many occasions for someone to become a Werewolf this way.

The moon appeared to be full in the flashback.

2- It probably has to be the pawprint of an Alpha Werewolf.

The pawprint we saw was in no way the pawprint of a normal wolf. By the size and form of it, it had to be from a Werewolf in bestial form (which only Alphas can achieve).

About Sebastien's appearance as a Werewolf (shadow bestial form and eye color):

I think this process always turns the person into a Shadow Werewolf (let's call it that just for the sake of it). Perhaps because by drinking in the pawprint of a Werewolf that person becomes a shadow of that Werewolf (symbolically). It would explain the shadow element of the full transformation. The white/blue-ish eye color is probably exclusive to Shadow Werewolves, probably to identify them from the other Werewolves (in the same way blue eyes identify a Werewolf who has killed an innocent, or red eyes identify an Alpha).

What do you guys think? What are your theories?
