They also share experiences with each other such as Everett's anxiety attack in episode 4 and Harlan losing control after snapping at Garrett causing the entire pack to become feral and try to kill Garrett, only to regain control together when Garrett coaxes Harlan back into control by having him remember his name.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Luna is blonde haired and the kindest member of the main cast.
* HappilyAdopted: Luna and Harlan were found in the woods by Garrett and have been raised happily enough by him.
* HateSink: Phoebe is something of an AlphaBitch who won't let Blake use her phone to call her family in the middle of a fire because they fell out, names Blake as the arsonist to the police just to be petty, nearly gets herself killed taking multiple selfies on the edge of a balcony and complains that the word 'pussy' is sexist when [[DoubleStandard she had made objectifying comments about the boys]] (which she is called out for). This gets subverted when she receives several PetTheDog moments [[spoiler: right before she is killed by the werewolf]].
* HiddenDepths: Austin seems like a snarky asshole, but reveals a talent for playing the piano.
* HollywoodAutism: Played with. Blake's little brother Danny is an extreme case, where he can't communicate normally, has to watch the news at the right time every morning and can't be trusted not to wander off. Blake however rattles off a bunch of misconceptions to Everett, showing more knowledge than is usual for this trope.
* InDaClub: Harlan and Luna sense Blake and Everett's awkakening while out in a nightclub.
* InNameOnly: The series is DarkerAndEdgier, HotterAndSexier and shares only a few aesthetic similarities with the books.
* ManlyGay: Harlan is a fitness addict and behaves like a typical frat boy who just happens to be into men.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Blake is very tough and forthright, with a tomboyish wardrobe, while Everett is shy and anxious, with a preference for bright colours.
* MissingMom: Blake and Danny's mother is out of the picture, and Blake refuses to even call her, knowing she won't answer.
* MrFanservice: Harlan frequently dons tight tank tops, and gets a scene where he provides WorkoutFanservice, and is part of two gratuitous GuyOnGuyIsHot sequences.
* OnlyBadGuysCallTheirLawyers: Discussed. Harlan is against calling for lawyers in case it makes them look suspicious. Detective Ramsey points out that they're not actually being arrested.
* OrphansPlotTrinket: Cyrus has a lighter as the only thing left of his deceased father.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Luna's full name is Elizabeth but she only answers to Luna.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: In this universe, one can be born a werewolf. Infecting other people to become them is a specific ability that only [[spoiler: Barren]] has. Each one in a pack can sense the others, and the four protagonists have SuperSenses specific to each person, but they can share the abilities close to full moon. A werewolf doesn't automatically transform at the full moon, but rather in a fire. A werewolf can return to human form by becoming OnlyMostlyDead. Silver is their weakness as well.
* ParentsAsPeople:
** Garrett has stores of silver bullets, which he can only have gotten in case he needed to kill his werewolf children, but he's shown sympathetically.
** Blake's father is hopelessly out of his depth in trying to make ends meet and dealing with the fallout of her mother having an affair.
* PhoneaholicTeenager:
** Phoebe spends most of her first scene in episode three taking selfies on the edge of a building, nearly falling off multiple times.
** Inverted with Blake, whom everyone considers weird because she chooses not to carry a phone.
* PolarOppositeTwins: Harlan is an extroverted fitness junkie, who's aloof and abrasive to everyone. Luna is a soft-spoken introvert who prefers drawing and classical music.
* RichBitch: Phoebe has her own expensive car and a very prissy attitude towards things.
* SkewedPriorities: The bus driver in the first episode won't let the children off the school bus, worried she could lose her job for doing so, when there's a literal forest fire about to tear up the highway.
* SlobsVersusSnobs: The class difference is highlighted between Blake - from a working class family who has to work a late night job at a parking garage and is living out of a motel - and the rich DaddysGirl Phoebe.
* SupernaturalSoapOpera: Just as much time is devoted to the werewolves' personal lives as the supernatural stuff.
* TwoPersonPoolParty: Well the fact that it's an actual pool party notwithstanding, when Blake and Everett end up in the pool together at Tia's...
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Harlan often goes without a shirt, as does Everett once his makeover is complete. Two episodes take place entirely at a pool party, in which most of the male cast are shirtles for the majority of the run time. Everett spends the first ten minutes of the finale completely shirtless too.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Blake and Phoebe were previously friends but fell out before the series began.
* WildTeenParty: The werewolf attacks a pool party, forcing everyone else inside and the party is eventually broken up by the police.
