Fearless » Liam Dunbar

Anchors

"Mom?" I asked sleepily from the top of the stairs. She turned around.

"Hey, what are you doing up this early?"

"Where are you going?" I asked, completely avoiding her question.

"I'm doing a few extra shifts at work. I'll be back this evening" she smiled.

"Okay" I said rubbing my eyes.

"Scott's here but he might be busy doing werewolf stuff later so you'll probably have the house to yourself. No boys okay" she said opening the front door. She then jumped back in surprise. I frowned in confusion until I saw Liam, who's hand was still in a fist, ready to knock on the door.

"Liam?" Me and another voice blurted in unison.

"Jesus christ" I said as Scott appeared behind me. "Don't do that" I hissed.

"Hi, Mrs McCall" Liam gave her a sweet innocent smile.

"Hi Liam" she smiled kinda unsurely. "Well, I gotta go. Stay safe kids" She stepped aside, letting Liam in, and then she left, closing the door behind her.

All three of us just stared at each other for a moment until I cursed under my breath. I was wearing my small pyjama shorts and a lacey tank top, which was pretty revealing. And there was a fifteen year old teenage werewolf staring at me. I offered Liam a weak smile and then ran into my room, closing the door behind me.

*Scott's P.O.V*

After Rebecca had disappeared into her room, I climbed down the stairs where Liam was stood. I walked into the kitchen, beckoning him to follow. Once we were in there I stopped and looked at him.

"So you wanted to-" I cut him off by slapping him on the back of the head. "Ouch! What was that for!"

"Checking out my sister"

He rubbed the back of his head giving me a glare. "So why did you want to see me?" he asked.

"You haven't found an anchor yet have you?" I said, crossing my arms over my chest.

"I'm, uh, working on it" he said, looking down at the floor.

I nodded. "Well I wanted to try a few things. Think of it as some extra training. There's going to be a fight soon and I need you prepared" I said.

"Okay..." he trailed. "What kind of things are you going to teach me?"

I smiled. "Well you need to work on your anger. So I'm going to need to calm you down once you've transformed" I said. He looked a little confused.

"Liam, we're going to find your anchor"

Liam, and I were at the boathouse, trying to work on his shifting. Rebecca had decided to give us some alone time so she said she'd explore the Lakehouse.

It had been about twenty minutes and Liam was struggling to shift. We had tried pretty much everyhing.

"I don't get it. You shifted when you were fighting the berserker" I said. Liam shrugged.

"Maybe it was his fight response" Rebecca's voice piped up from behind us.

"I thought you were exploring" I said, crossing my arms.

"I came to help" She replied. "Anyway, as I was saying. You either have a flight or fight response and naturally, Liam's was fight. Basically, he wanted to protect himself and Kira, therefore, causing a shift" she explained.

"So what are you saying?" I questioned.

"We somehow need to get to that fight response of the brain" She replied.
