The rules of secrecy that govern Bitten are absolute, and they are at the heart of why Elena was turned into a werewolf. When Clay brought her to Stonehaven to introduce her to Jeremy, an Alpha who was also a father to Clay, Elena turned for a second before entering the mansion. Just because there was a chance that Elena caught a glimpse of Jeremy as he was changing from wolf to human form, Jeremy planned to kill the love of Clay's life. Clay was so in love with Elena that he turned into a wolf and bit her. Clay could not have known that Elena was going to survive the bite; at that time, no woman has ever survived a werewolf bite. But Elena was dead either way, and Clay's faith was rewarded, to a certain extent. Elena survived. Elena was never comfortable with life inside the Pack, but she lived, long enough to reunite with Clay, long enough to meet her birth father and half siblings. Elena lived, and an emotional Jeremy, angry and heartbroken after killing Morgan out of Alpha duty, left Elena in charge at Stonehaven whilst he went after Roman.
