Summary
Liam used to drop coins next to dead bugs. Intentionally. Said that his mom consoled his grief after his dog died with the tale of Charon. Macabre bedtime story, Theo thought, but he could picture little-Liam being comforted at the idea of his dog taking a trip down the river Styx ferried by Charon to a land of eternal treats and head-scratches.
Little-Theo never knew hope like that, but he learned a special kind of love by falling for a boy who thought every living thing deserved compassion even in death.

Summary
When he had been sitting on the floor of the police station, propped up against a desk with a wound from an Oni's blade burning in his abdomen, Deputy Parrish had made himself a promise. He wouldn't leave the protection of this town up to a group of inexperienced teenagers, a brooding former Alpha, and some emotionally compromised parents ever again.

Summary
Theo thought he knew torture.
He’d lived it, for ten years, and, when he had to, he’d inflicted it, on himself and on others.
Yet, here, caught between incessant hands that grabbed and pushed and forced away his bared fangs and slashing claws, all he knew was fear.

Summary
Liam didn’t think it would end like this.
He’d thought Theo was improving. He’d thought Theo was telling the truth, when he said he didn’t want power, when he said he wouldn’t hurt anyone. He thought - he thought -
He didn’t understand the cold gaze that stared down at him, behind a flock of armed hunters, muscular arms folded over his chest, a gun holster at his hip.

Summary
“Test successful," the Pathologist says. Theo beams as the Geneticist pats his knee and hands him some water. Other kids have soccer trophies and pizza parties. Theo thinks that as long as he can keep winning, what he has here is better.
Or, Theo and pride have a very complicated relationship. It comes with growing up around three evil scientists who like to poke you around with scalpels. It haunts him throughout the years, sticking to the edges of his decisions as he wrangles with what it means to be proud of himself. Surprisingly, the McCall pack has several hands to offer along the way.
