Chapter 28:

Liam Dunbar

Liam couldn't really open his eyes until he felt Audrey shaking his shoulders. Blurry visions began to billow into the clear, revealing her beautiful features. She was indeed beautiful to him and his eyes.

"Liam," she called in a teasing groan. He heard her chuckle, "Liam, wake up."

"W-What's going on?" He asked, getting up and waking up in Audrey's room. He looks around and see that is starting to get dark outside and that it was just him and Audrey. Alone. In her room. "Where's Amber?" He asked.

Audrey giggled, "She's gone. Out with her boyfriend, or should I say my ex-boyfriend, Jance. You remember him, right?"

"How could I not?" Liam scoffed, "He tried killing me that one time, remember?"

Audrey rubbed her temples, shaking her head. "Yeah, I remember. I'm sorry about that." She nuzzled her head into his naked chest, closing her eyes as she takes in his scent. She smiled, just as big as Liam. He felt like he was living the Hollywood life, except his version of millions of money was the girl he had been crushing on ever since. Audrey.

"What happened with Derek?" Liam asked, his mood darkening by the thought of him. He felt Audrey freeze in place, feeling her head shift up to look at him. He rose his eyebrows, looking down at her innocent face.

Audrey pouted, looking away for a minute. Liam watched her close her eyes, whip her head back to him with a wide smile on her face, as if se wasn't listening to his previous question. She shook her head and said, "Just focus on me, or you can just focus on my lips. It's going to give you a little taste."

She then leaned in and molded her lips against his, throwing Liam back a bit. He then closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment as it sank into his fast-beating heart.

He was kissing Audrey Mendler.

Their lips moved in sync as Audrey wrapped her shoulders around his neck. Liam placed his hands on her waist and under the shirt of her stomach. He pulled her closer, hoping to not let her go. To him, it felt like she was gonna disappear any moment. He thought that she was gonna turn into ashes, but instead, she parted her lips, welcoming his tongue to explore her more.

Just then, she let go, clutching her ears tightly as she curled up into a small ball. Liam held her, panicking maybe a little more than her, "Audrey, are you getting another headache?"

"I don't. . . I don't know!" She squeaked as she started breathing heavily. She lowered her head, hiding her face from him. She started crying out, "Liam, I'm changing!"

She stood up, leaning toward the walls. Her hands we pressed to the wall as black claws began to morph into place. Liam stood up, quickly throwing his lacrosse jersey on as he watched her beginning to wheeze. Liam slowly walked toward her, afraid of how she'll react to him. It was just seconds ago, they was living in affection and now they were drowning into transformation. They were turning into killers.

Once Liam placed a hand on Audrey's shoulder, she turned around and threw a feral growl at his face, making him flinch in fear. Liam closed his eyes for a minute, hoping that it was all just a dream. Hopefully his eyes were just playing mind games. But, it was a mistake to open them.

Audrey's transformation changed quickly, for Liam wasn't looking at the girl with black everything on her. She was now a living Berserker who was sized up to twice his height. Liam was mortified.

"Audrey, it's just me!" Liam yelled. It felt like he was stuck in those Halloween mazes. Outside was finally dark, pouring rain onto the terrace as thunder clapped behind them. With the light glowing behind Audrey, it looked like she could've been placed as the Benefactor.

Liam growled, showing off his beta features as he launched toward Audrey. She began trying to swipe at him, pushing him away. Liam flew back to the wall, falling down crippled onto the floor. He looked up with a regained health, finding Audrey back to her normal self.

However, she was sobbing with her knees hugged to her chest. As Liam got up, he walked slowly and sat beside her with slight hesitation, scared that she will go into tantrum again. She spoke through her tears, "I'm a monster. I'm a killed. I'm an assassin."

Liam blinked, wrapping himself around her for comfort. She cried on his shoulder as the tears began to wet his jersey. She continued crying, repeating her words again, and again, and again. Just then, she is pulled away from his arms. Audrey cried out in pain as her hair was being pulled back, but into another set of arms, ones that were way more muscular than his own. It was none other than Derek.

"What did you do to her?" Derek growled at Liam. He held her in his arms as she began to soften her own whimpers. She closed her eyes, blocking out the world, especially away from Liam.

"Hey! I asked you something!" Derek hissed again, "I asked, what did you do to her?"

"N-Nothing!" Liam stuttered. He can still hear Audrey's words replay over and over again, this time in whispers. She wouldn't stop but fade into a monotonous tone. Derek watched her face fall into blank space as her small anthem began to slowly stop. He moved strands of her hair behind her ears as he rocked gently like a baby bound to sleep in lullaby. He then looked back at Liam and glared.

"Get out." He whispered fiercely.

"What?"

"I said 'get out'. You have to face reality," He said, "I'm a human now. I can protect Audrey with my own abilities. But you? You're a beta, a werewolf, and a victim of Audrey. You need to focus on yourself, get away from those who are now trying to kill you. Wake up, and start acting like a werewolf. If you don't, you'll die. So, wake up.

"Wake up.

"Wake up.

"Wake up, Liam. Wake up."

Wake up, it whispered all around him. Liam watched everything turn into ashes, making him fall back down on the bed as he closed his eyes. But then, he opened them again and realized that he did indeed need to wake up.

It was just a dream all along.

Liam got up, drinking in his surroundings. Kira, he thought. He turned around, searching for her but only to find her also unconscious on the floor. He couldn't just stay and watch her lifeless on the floor, but he wasn't the only one. Just less than a yard away, an actual Berserker was slowly approaching her. He had to wake her up, just like Derek had to wake him.

Be a werewolf.
