Devoted ║ Liam Dunbar

║Chapter 9║

Shit.

''She too holds werewolf abilities.'' Her voice came out a little confused as my jaw dropped, Melissa blinking, taken back by her answer. ''Mom!'' Kira whisper shouted as I felt Liam's eyes on me. ''What? You're a- why didn't I know about this?''' Her arms crossed across her chest. ''Uh- well- my dad doesn't know either so let's not ask that.'' I quickly rambled out, all my words coming out at once before my hands immediately snatched to Kira's and Liam's using my speed advantage to rush out of the room.

My nose scrunched up as I got out of the room, letting go of the two teens and rubbing my face out of stress. ''I'm so sorry- I didn't know she would say anything!'' Kira exclaimed as I half smiled before it faded, ''it's alright, it wasn't her fault- it was gonna come out sooner or later.''

''Oh.. Well, alright..'' Her voice came out slow as Liam began peeking in the windows of the rooms. ''I think this one is empty, let's go in here.''

Stiles eventually joined us as we all set up the laptops, Chris doing something causing them to light up with views of the hospitals security cameras. ''Stiles..'' I spoke from behind my older brother, looking down slightly. ''Yeah?'' He didn't look towards me, his eyes still facinated on the screen. ''Melissa found- can you look at me, please?'' My voice came out as a weak plead as he heard my tone, the brunette boy spinning around to face me. ''What's wrong?'' His tone became quiter.

''Melissa found out.'' I quietly mumbled as he frowned, ''found out what? I don't know what you mean.'' Stiles furrowed his eyebrows speaking softly, ''she found out about me- you know not being-''

''What- how?!'' His chocolate coloured eyes widened in shock, ''Kira's mom accidently said- but what do I say if she tells dad? He's already confused about me being on the dead pool.'' I worriedly replied, rubbing my sweaty hands along the thighs of my jeans.

''You could just act oblivious.'' Liam suddenly spoke making me jump. ''Uh, sorry.'' He awkwardly shut up as I smiled softly before turning back to my brother.

''Yeah, like he said.'' Stiles pointed to Liam, ''but, I can't keep lying to him, he's going to stop believing us eventually.''

''Well..'' Stiles took a deep breath, ''I suppose if he didn't freak out too much about me being possessed by some crazy spirit then he won't be too freaked out by you being a werewolf.''

''What did your mom and step-dad say?'' I flicked my hair behind my shoulder, watching Liam. ''Actually- they don't uh know.. I don't plan on letting them either.'' He breathed out, ''oh..'' Well that helps..

''I'm sure everything will be fine. Just don't stress about it too much, okay.'' My elder brother placed a hand on my shoulder supportively. ''Okay..''
''Plus- we need to watch out for The Benefactor.'' He smiled as I nodded turning my attention back onto the laptop screen, trying to divert my thoughts to anything but my dad finding out about my secret.

All of a sudden the camera for the rooftop was taken over by darkness as I frowned, tapping the screen to realise the camera had gone off. ''Guys.. The camera's gone off.'' I raised my voice as everybody turned to see the camera. I pressed the 'enter' key a few times but it was useless. ''We should go look..'' Kira mumbled as Liam joined her, my eyes meeting Liam's eyes for a second.

''Be careful.'' I was quick to mumble as Liam nodded his mesmerising blue eyes mirroring mine for a second or two before he took off. I swallowed harshly, worrying if there was anything on the roof. The power began flickering on and off, the lights making my eyes mess up as it kept changing from light to dark. ''We should find Chris Argent.'' Stiles stood up as I nodded, setting off at a fast pace out of the door that my brother could barley keep up with.
