Summary
The werewolf is tall, massive really, like all its counterparts, but it's hunched over, almost like it’s trying to make itself less intimidating. That, on top of the tattered gray shirt hanging off its shoulders, makes Kaitlyn realize who exactly is before her.
“Dylan?” She breathes, hardly believing it herself.
---
Dylan gets infected and turns into a werewolf. Somehow, that still doesn’t stop him from saving his friends.

Summary
She has mixed emotions when word makes its way to them that Joel Miller has returned to Jackson.
Tommy perks up at once, so clearly happy about it that she smiles completely reflexively just to see it. It’s a different side to him, him with Joel, a man who still worships his older brother to some degree.
No matter how little his older brother might deserve it.
To his credit, Tommy doesn’t ditch her, even if walking beside him feels like leash training a new puppy, the way he pulls forward and then catches himself, returning to her side. This late in her pregnancy, she’s almost at the waddling stage, and there’s only so fast she can get.
As they walk, she prepares herself for a silent stand-off with Joel. They’ll need to get some things straight if he is indeed here to stay the way she knows Tommy hopes he is.

Summary
It wouldn’t be such a problem if she didn’t have such a massive crush on Dina, a crush that sometimes feels like it might be going somewhere when their eyes meet or Dina does stuff like reaching out to fix her ponytail for her, which sends little sparks of electricity throughout her entire body. They even linked pinkies during the last movie night, when Joel had opted out to go play poker with Tommy at the bar so she hadn’t been sitting next to him for once.
She wants to tell him so badly, wants to include him in this part of her life. She knows from other kids that they don’t usually tell their parents who they like, at least not until they’re dating or something, but Joel’s the person she wants to tell everything to. He’s always her first stop after a successful hunt or a good grade on a test or the highest score at archery practice. She wants to tell him about Dina, wants to be able to bring Dina around him. She likes being at home more than she likes most things, and she wants to be able to have Dina over in the place that she likes the most. She wants to pull Dina into game night with them and Tommy and Maria, wants to slowly knit her into their little family.

Summary
In his many years of taking on jobs for too-little pay, there’s one assignment he’s never worked. The other workers call it the “preschool brigade,” the FEDRA-school kids sent out into the field for what they call “work experience” to get them used to the real world. Really, it’s a behavioral tool, he knows, an example of “better act right or you’ll end up like these poor fuckers when you’re grown.”
He's deliberately never worked on one, uninterested in being put in charge of a kid doing a dangerous job they shouldn’t be. The kids that get sent on the preschool brigade are the ones FEDRA doesn’t necessarily care about getting back, after all, and there are things even adults shouldn’t be doing, not as untrained as most of them are.
And then comes the day one of the FEDRA guards assigned to his work detail that leads over a sullen-looking girl, who kicks rocks the entire way.
