Devoted ║ Liam Dunbar

║Chapter 9║

''If you don't do it, I'll do it by myself.'' Kira then spoke as we all turned wide eyes to the mom. I was basically giving her the biggest pleading look anybody could ever give. Noshiko quickly replied back to Kira, agreeing that she would do this whole thing to Scott- obviously not wanting her daughter to do it alone. Thank god.

''Put your hand over his heart.'' She then instructed Kira, who did but Scott stopped her, his eyes lifting up, ''what will happen whilst I'm out?'' He was quick to question. Noshika explained that it will feel like he was dreaming- which was weird because doesn't your heart actually have to be beating to actually do anything.

Kira then placed her hand over Scott's heart as I anxiously turned up to my brother who was peering down, unsure towards his best friend. Kira then released foxfire, causing Scott to seize and gasp, which indicated his heart had stopped beating. I swallowed nervously, my legs turning to jelly as I stepped backwards in fright, my back hitting Liam. ''S-sorry.'' I mumbled, my eyes glued to the horrendous sight in front of me.

All of a sudden I felt a soft graze of somebody's hand on the bare skin of my arm. A lump in my throat formed as Liam's hand rested over the middle of my arm, pulling me back from the bad a step, obviously shocked at Scott's state. My stomach did a small leap as my heart rate slowed down, his soothing touch calming my nerves slightly. I felt his slightly clammy skin against my cold arm, goosebumps errupting along my skin. I had the temptation to move my hand ontop of his, but because my brother was right across from us the subtle touch would be enough.

It was actually heartbreaking to see Melissa McCall to stand in front of her 'dead' son. Of course we explained the plan but even she stated that she hated the plan. I mean I would too if I had a son who was basically laid 'dead' in front of me. I don't think I could get used to being next to Scott's body either, it made me super uncomfertable and I just wanted to shake him and yell at him to wake up. Scott's always been more than my 'alpha' he and Stiles grew up together so I was always looking up to the two, chasing them around and thinking that both of them were classed as my brothers and not just Stiles, so it hurt to see him like this.

Plus, Scott was the one who basically saved my life, who cares if I wasn't human anymore, I was still alive and healthy.
''This is pretty significantly terrifying.'' Melissa's hand was taken by Noshiko's and held over Scott's chest for a second when she felt a single beat. ''Is that enough to keep a Werewolf alive?'' Her voice caught my attention as I turned up facing the two. ''Enough to keep an alpha alive.'' Kira's mom replied, my teeth clamping down on my teeth as I took a quick glance to everybody in the room, the same aroma coming off them and look on their faces. Fear.

I knew I shouldn't have, but for mainly the full time we were stood there I listened to Melissa's heartrate which would increase every second or so, she was giving off a stink of anxiety and sadness, it was getting so painful I could barley block it anymore.

''We have 45 minutes until Kira will bring him back with another foxfire shock.'' Noshiko explained, looking down upon the motionless boy as I eventually diverted my eyes and began staring towards the marbled floor.

''And after the 45 minutes?'' The distressed mother questioned. There was an anticipating second of silence as I turned up to face Noshiko, feeling my breath hitch and heart pound against my ribcage. ''He dies..''

''Well- I'll go with Chris Argent to write the letter.'' Stiles quickly spoke up, pushing himself up as I swallowed my eyes following my brother as he left the room. He and Argent would write to the Benefactor, alerting him to Scott's death.

''We should go set up the laptops.'' I bit down on my lip, ''there's a spare patient room on this hall, I can show you it.'' Melissa replied. ''Great, thanks.'' Kira spoke as we all suddenly turned around, ready to leave until Melissa's voice stopped us. ''Wait a minute- what are you doing here with all this supernatural stuff around?'' Her question was aimed at me as Noshiko began speaking making my stomach flip.
