I feel like the reason Theo can control his pack members so well even though he barely knew them is because experiencing death is the worst thing ever, so their souls or minds subconsciously want to do anything it takes to not feel death again. E.g. each time he mentions death, it's like they feel anxiety or are reliving a traumatic moment in their head...then they immediately yield to his commands. Hayden also says that she feels different...and she doesn't know why. I seem like it may have made them darker in character, but most importantly, the desperation to hang onto life is what will make them do things they would have never done.

Any thoughts on this?
