Summary
“Why shouldn’t I? It’s what he is, a little bitch who refuses to take a mate. Y’know, there’s only so many times he can refuse before someone’s just going to take what they want.”
Jimmy does growl this time, the sensation of a half-transformation burning through him. It hurts- it always hurts. But there’s anger boiling in Jimmy’s gut and for once, Jimmy wants nothing more than to tear his teeth into the boy’s throat, to make him bleed and shut the fuck up.
He’s never felt anger like this before, and in the back of his mind, he realizes.
He’s only angry because they’re insulting Scott.

Summary
Scott was six years old when he realized there was something wrong with Jimmy.
That’s a cruel way to put it- there had always been something different about Jimmy, and a part of Scott had known that from the moment he was old enough to be aware of other people
But it was at six years old that Scott recognized what it meant for Jimmy to be different.
After that, nothing would ever be the same.

Summary
This is a message in and of itself; werewolves are always strong, but being in his human form puts him at a distinct disadvantage. If the white wolf attacks him, even injured, Martyn will lose.
This is an olive branch. Martyn allowing himself to be vulnerable in front of a stranger.
-
The werewolf revealing his human form in front of Scott was a gesture of peace, of trust. Scott is reluctant to believe that an alpha wolf would allow himself to be vulnerable in front of strangers, especially strangers that had trespassed into their territory. But he had- and maybe Scott had been backed into a corner, but he’d chosen to return the gesture and reveal his human form.
Peace. Trust.
Scott doesn't trust easily.

Summary
The Voices now beat at the walls of Martyn’s skull as Scar’s ugly, manic grin splits Grian’s face, and Martyn despairs. He should have foreseen this- they should all have foreseen this.
