Him: Wait, the guy had a girlfriend… Me: Yes. Him: And now he's with her father??? Me: Yes.

When it comes to steter, you often hear the opinion that 'Peter Hale is the king of consent.'

But I don't think that's quite true.

If you look closely, you can see how tightly Peter is gripping Stiles's wrist. So tightly that Peter's fingertips have turned white.

Why isn't he the king of consent? Well, because based on the above, it's obvious that Peter decided to bite without waiting for an answer. When Stiles hesitated, Peter bared his fangs and was already about to bite his hand. This might have been a sign of impatience, a desire to make the decision for Stiles.

When Stiles yanked his wrist away, Peter seemed surprised, but nonetheless listened to the answer. Even though Stiles lied about not wanting to be a werewolf, Peter still let him go.

Maybe Peter respects his choice a little (I don't believe that). Or maybe Peter really just wanted to return the favor (as we know, Peter doesn't do anything without getting something in return. Probably it works both ways), but he backed off easily because for him, a bite is like sharing one chip from a bag (what? 🤡). What does it cost him to give a bite? Nothing. In the end, only Stiles lost out, because he missed an opportunity (since during this period of time, he apparently still wanted to become a werewolf).
