## Relationships

### Romances

#### Victoria Argent (Wife)

Christopher fell in love with Victoria Argent and they married, having a daughter together. Like his wife, Chris agreed to keep Allison in the dark until she was 18 years old and they disapproved of Allison's relationship with Scott, especially after they learned he was a teenage beta werewolf. Unlike her husband, Victoria had no qualms against going against the code of conduct for supernatural hunters, which was no going after werewolves who were young or have not spilled innocent blood. After Victoria was bitten by Derek trying to kill Scott, Chris helped take part in his wife's suicide, because she was unwilling to live life as a werewolf due to their oath.

Because of Victoria's death, Chris and Allison temporarily retired from hunting. However, it was short-lived; because human sacrifices rose in Beacon Hills, they returned to fighting. In season 4, Chris wished Victoria lived the rest of her life as a werewolf. This proves he feels guilt for the part he played in her death. He also continued to wear his wedding ring to signify his role as a widow.

#### Melissa McCall (Close Friend/Love Interest)

“*Chris: [awkwardly] "...I should have called."
Melissa: "...But you didn't, and that's okay. ...Should I have called?"*”
―Chris and Melissa's awkward conversation
After first meeting Melissa, Chris initially disapproved of her son dating his daughter, calling Scott a bad influence on Allison. Angered, Melissa called him out on his behavior and promptly had him thrown out of her home. They later developed an alignment in Season 3, when they and Noah Stilinski were abducted by Jennifer Blake, who intended to sacrifice them to endow herself in powers. In Season 6, Melissa and Chris became very close friends, but developed romantic feelings for her. They often acted as parental figures for the McCall pack. With the threat of Argent's biological father, he urged Melissa to tell Scott and the other teenagers to run, out of concern for their safety.

Melissa and Argent became very close, kissing each other and having been brought together by the supernatural and Melissa's son.

#### Allison Argent (Daughter)

“*Well, then take it as a reminder. Maybe you don't need to hear it, but I need to know that I said it. I love you. I'm proud of you. I'm... I'm proud of us."*”
―Allison to her father moments before her first death
#### Kate Argent

Kate was Chris' younger sister and they used to be close as children. However, as adults, Kate and Chris grew distant from each other. According to her, Chris always finds a way to make her look like the bad guy in situations, despite it being her fault. Chris also disapproved of Kate teaching Allison about their family history of werewolf hunters. Despite his dislike towards werewolves at the time, Chris was horrified when he learned about Kate's role in the Hale Family Fire and her threateningly waving her gun on front of a sixteen year old boy. Like everyone else, Chris believed his sister was killed when Peter Hale bit her. However, Kate survived the Bite and instead, transformed into a Werejaguar.

By 2013, Chris and Kate were now sworn enemies. By the end of the season, Chris joined the Calavera family to both protect the McCall Pack and hunt his sister.

In Season 6, with Kate still wanting revenge on Scott and the rest of the pack, Chris tried warning her that if she soded with her father, Gerard would not accept her. This was proven true when their father shot her with yellow wolfsbane.. At the series finally, Chris allowed Kate to kill off their father once and for all, despite feeling troubled while doing so.
