Devoted ║ Liam Dunbar

║Chapter 7║

''You lost Liam?''

''Yes. I did.'' He seriously responded. ''But seriously, he just took off into the woods and I can't find him. Anywhere.'' I was beginning to feel sorry for the guy, he seemed a little scared. Well I'm not surprised after all this 'assassin' shit happened.

''Well I haven't seen him anywhere.'' I stretched out my legs as I stood up, walking towards where my white converse's where just sitting around. ''But where abouts are you, I'll come help you look.'' I swung open the door, accidently forgetting to put the alarm on when I left.

Taking advantage of my werewolf ability to run and not get tired I rushed over to where Mason looked completely lost and confused.

''Hey.. Still no sign?'' I frowned digging my hands into my pocket as chills ran down my spine. ''No.. Ugh- I seriously have no idea where he went, he literally, took off.'' Mason repeated his words from earlier as I breathed out. ''Well- I can help you look.. But if there's no sign of him I'll get my dad or-'' My words were cut short when I heard an extremely loud and pained werewolf growl which made me flinch a little. ''Liam?'' I softly questioned myself.

''Wha- I'm Ma-'' Mason began but something inside of me told me to head towards the woods. My legs kept getting faster and faster as I ventured deeper into the vast woods. All I could think about was that horrible scream that somebody yelled out, as I got closer it only confirmed my worst fears that the shouting person was in fact Liam.

''Liam!?'' I yelled out not having a clue where it was coming from. I rushed forward hearing the shouting get louder as what looked like a well grasped my attention.

I gasped looking down the hole to see an exhausted Liam panting and whining as I gasped reaching down and snatching his arm as he slipped almost pulling me down. ''Hold on.'' I managed to squeak out as my other hand came down before Scott's voice startled me. ''Jenna, Liam?!''

The alpha was quick to help snatch Liam up to safety, pulling him out so he was sat on the edge of the well. My eyes widened seeing Scott pull him in for a tight hug. Liam's baby blue eyes seemed glassy and hazy, he looked so exhausted. ''You're okay Liam. You're okay.'' Scott told him pulling off. When Mason said Liam was missing I didn't expect to find him half way down a well.

Scott slowly turned to face me as my jaw hung open a little, moving forward towards Liam about to envelope him in a heart warming hug, my eyes quickly scanned over his dripping wet face and lips as they trembled a little his eyes reflecting back into mine before I moved forward, my arms tightly embracing around his wet body.

''Why were you down a well?'' I whispered softly, one of my hands pressing against his cold back, the other on the back of his head as he shivered softly, the sound of his teeth chattering as he snuggled his face in the crook of my neck. Slowly his bare arms moved up to wrap around my as what felt like my heart leaping made me purse my lips. It wasn't exactly the best time to be enjoying a hug, but I couldn't help it. My heart rate sped up as his hot breath hit the skin on the back of my neck.

Suddenly he coughed softly and I began to pull off him, feeling Scott's warm hand on my shoulder when I saw the wound on Liam's chest.. My breath hitched before I closed my mouth, clentching my jaw.

''It was Garrett wasn't it??''

Checking the time on my phone I realised my dad would be home soon and I was in Deaton's vet's watching Liam get an incision in his chest to release yellow smoke which drifted out and dissipated in the air. I worriedly put a hand on Liam's arm, even though he was passed out, I wondered if it was hurting him. I shook the thought away realising it was completely stupid as I watched my thumb naturally graze forwards and backwards over his soft skin.

''Will he be alright?'' I winced turning up to Deaton who nodded, ''I don't see why not.'' He then flashed me a small smile as I felt my lips twitch a little.

''Garrett and Violet are dead.'' Chris Argent announced from behind me. ''What? When did they die?'' I frowned in confusion. ''Just today.'' He breathed out. ''Garrett was stabbed by a Berserker and Violet was killed by Kate.''

''Wasn't my dad taking her somewhere?!'' My voice raised as I jumped up in confusion.

''Your dads fine okay- he's been taken to the hospital-''
''What? He's in the hospital?'' I scraped my chair back. ''And nobody told me?'' I bared my teeth through my words as I felt my anger and worry rise.

''Jenna!'' Scott growled, flashing his red eyes towards me as I clentched my jaw tightly seriously not wanting to get upset. ''He's alright. Look I'll take you there, just don't freak out.'' Scott's tone softened as he put a hand on my shoulder. My teeth clamped down over my bottom lip as I nodded softly still a little pissed at the fact nobody told me previously.

Eventually we got to the hospital where Stiles was already inpatiently tapping his foot. ''Stiles- is he alright?'' I ran forward. ''He's fine. He's just getting checked over, Scott, your dad's here as well.'' Stiles reassured as I let out a deep breath.

That night I don't think we got home until around 1 in the morning, thankfully it was a weekend, and I had all Saturday to rest. After all that eventful crap I couldn't help but worry about Liam, I hope he's at home sleeping right now.. I know Deaton's place was safe and all but it wasn't the same as being at home where you're comfortable.

After several minutes of fighting sleep I finally let it take over me, enjoying my nightmare free, extra long slumber.

The next chapter won't be as dramatic:)
