Blame (Thiam TW)

Chapter 2: Good Morning

Everyone started to leave; Scott pulled Liam aside.

"Are you okay?" the alpha stared at the beta.

"I'm fine why?"

"You seem really anxious."

"Scott, I'm just sick of it. The hunters; everyone blaming me for bringing Theo and Nolan into the pack. They've changed I promise. I'm supposed to take care of things when you're gone, and I can't handle myself."

"Liam, no one expects anything from you, and I'm here now," Scott assured him, "and you're doing a good job when I'm not. You're right you have Nolan and Theo under your control. I trust you."

"Thanks," Liam smiled at him, "I've missed you."

"I've missed you too," Scott hugged the smaller boy.

Liam got into the truck with Theo and Nolan.

"What did Scott have to say?" Theo asked him.

"He was just worried about me," Liam admitted.

"Out of anyone, I think you are the most capable of taking the hunters," Theo smirked.

"Hopefully," Liam shrugged.

"Liam, we are going to be fine."

"Hey guys," Dr.Geyer said as the three of them walked in.

"Is it okay if Nolan stays tonight?"

"Sure, he knows where to go," Dr.Geyer smiled at the boy. Nolan stayed over plenty of times before; his parents were never around, always away for business. Liam felt bad, and it wasn't uncommon for the entire puppy pack to stay over at least once a week.
"How was the party?"

"Good," Liam lied.

"That sounded reassuring."

"Hunter scare," Theo told the man. Dr.Geyer and he had formed a good relationship. Theo helped Liam explain the whole werewolf situation to the man. He thought it was the coolest thing and accounted for all the weird instances at the hospital. Liam's mom wasn't the most comfortable with it, but she accepted it eventually.

"Are you guys going to be okay?"

"We will be," Theo assured him as Liam already retreated upstairs with Nolan.

"Guess someone's tired," Theo shrugged following him up the stairs.

"Goodnight, Theo," the man smiled.

"Do you ever just have a bad feeling that is like eating at your soul kind of feeling?" Liam stared at Theo as he walked into their bedroom.
Nolan was already in the guest bedroom, leaving the two of them alone.

"What do you mean?" Theo asked sitting down on the bed.

"Something isn't right," Liam told him.

"You're just worried."

"No, something isn't right."

"Well, I'm going with Derek, Argent, and for some odd reason Malia and Peter to check out the scene tomorrow; do you want to go along?"

Liam thought about it, but then realized he leaving Beacon Hills too would leave Mason, Corey, and Nolan without anyone, "I better just stay here, maybe I can help Parrish, Stiles, and Lydia at the station or something."

"The offer stands," Theo shrugged, "you and I both know Mason, Corey, and Nolan can handle themselves more than they look like it."

"I know; it's just I don't want to make the selfish move."

"You selfish," Theo laughed, "that's one thing you aren't Little Wolf."

"Mhmm," Liam laid down beside him as the chimera wrapped his arm around him.

"I swear if you don't calm down and go to sleep; I'm knocking you out," Theo told him.

"Then, I'll break your nose."

"I love you, Little Wolf."

"I love you too."

Liam woke up and looked around the room he didn't recognize where he was. He called out to Theo, but there was no response. He quickly stood up noticing he was collapsed on the floor; he felt tears on his face but had no clue why he would be crying. He looked down at his hands coated in blood and screamed.

"Li," Theo shook him awake.

"Theo," Liam breathed opening his eyes, "it was a dream."

"I hope so," Theo looked at him, "you screamed like you just got killed."

"It wasn't me all I saw was blood on my hands; I think I killed someone," Liam looked at him worried. He always was terrified of losing control and killing someone.

"You've been in control lately, Liam. You're not just going to kill someone. You're too good for that, no matter what you think. It was just a dream; Look," Theo picked up his hands, showing him there was no blood.

"It felt real."

"I have nightmares of my sister ripping out my heart; they felt real, but guess what her heart is still beating inside of me. You always wake me up with your puppy dog eyes, concerned about me, but you know I'm okay right?"

"I guess," Liam admitted, "sorry for waking you up."

"I don't care about that; I'm just worried about you."

"I'm okay," Liam lied still shaking from his nightmare.

"Here," Theo wrapped him once again in his arms, "try to go back to sleep.

Theo woke up to meet everyone else at the McCall household early; Liam rolled over and groaned as Theo started getting ready.

"Did you go back to sleep?" Theo asked.

"Barely."

Theo chuckled, "maybe you should take a nap."

"No, I have to do something to help."

"I'm sure you will get your chance."

Theo and Liam got ready then went downstairs; Nolan was already up drinking coffee with Liam's mom before she went off to work.

"Couldn't sleep either?" Liam asked the boy.

Nolan shook his head; his eyes beat red as if he didn't sleep at all. "I know they want to kill me and all of you."

"We will be fine," Theo looked at the two younger boys, "you two worry too much."

"Sorry, I don't have claws," Nolan looked at them.

"Or try to take the world's problems on yourself?" Theo smiled and stared at Liam.

"Liam, are you guys going to be okay?" his mom asked him.

"Yes, we are fine; don't worry just have a good day," Liam said goodbye to her.

They grabbed some breakfast then Theo left, leaving Nolan and Liam alone.
