"Hello?" He hears a voice say.

Guilt flows through him. Guilt is a great way to describe how he is feeling. Guilt and betrayal for everyone in his life, but he has to think of the bigger picture. He shakes it off.

"Hi, I am sorry to do this in this way, but I don't know what else to do. I think we should talk."

"Oh. Ok. What's up?"

"I am going to need a while to explain that."

"That makes me nervous. Come by the house."

Guilt washes over him and he sighs.
==========================================================================================================

Sex with Theo is not what he imagined. It is not that he expected it to be bad, but he feels like his head is spinning and he is in a daze. He feels his claws extend and gasps at the fiery kisses that are being planted on him. He sighs into the kisses and tingles. He feels a yearning filling him and a warm feeling in his chest. Claws graze him and his wolf growls. He thinks about what Stiles said. Theo could be lying. Is Theo lying?

His thoughts are silenced by Theo, as he grazes along his collarbone and nips at his neck. He shivers into it. He sighs as a tongue slides onto his and his mind becomes fuzzy. He grasps at Theo's waist and slides his hands along Theo's skin.

He hears his phone vibrating on the table nearby, but he cannot bring himself to break away from what is happening. He sighs again as his skin burns and tension leaves his body. Everything has become so built up these past weeks. He closes his eyes and allows the feeling to overtake him, warming him all over. He clutches at the sheets and shakes into it. His head is pulled to the side as Theo leaves bruising marks on his skin. Hands slide up to his neck and he shakes in frustration as Theo slowly runs his fingers over his torso.

"Little Wolf." Theo whispers to him.

Theo takes him apart slowly and he feels the burn long after everything is finished.

He drifts off to sleep feeling Theo's presence.

"LIAM. LIAM. LIAM" He hears someone calling him.

He gets up and looks around. It is morning and his phone is laying on the floor turned off. He vaguely remembers getting up to almost throw it out the window. It would not stop ringing. He did not even bother to see who it was. He rubs his hands over his face trying to wake up. He slides out of bed and opens the door. He sees a very angry Stiles.

"Hello. I have been calling you all night." Stiles seethes at him.

"Sorry, my phone was off. What is going on?" He asks.

"You're going to be late to school." Stiles points out.

"That's why you called me all night?" He growls at him.

"NO. I had something I wanted to talk about, but we can deal with it later. Come on and get dressed. I will give you a ride." Stiles says.

He sighs and gets ready for school.

He showers and tries to ignore the guilt burrowing its way into his brain. It is not like he is in the pack anymore anyway. What is the big deal? He shakes his head and turns the water off. He walks out of the bathroom, grabbing a towel, and runs into Stiles.

"Ok, we need some boundaries here." He grumbles, holding onto his towel tighter.

"I don't want to be late, and you are taking your sweet time." Stiles complains.

He scowls and finishes getting ready. Stiles pulls him out the door and towards his jeep. He looks around the jeep. There are books everywhere and paper scattered throughout the backseat. Stiles might be scattered brained to a point, but he has always kept his jeep clean. This is very unlike him. He looks at him. He sees the dark circles under his eyes and the tired expression on his face. His face is sunken in and he looks on edge.

"What?" Stiles asks.

"Are you alright?" Liam asks.

"Don't look at me like that. I already got that look from my father. I am trying to figure everything out for Scott and I am helping Theo with these hunters. Now we possibly have a new issue with a Lowenmensch. I have been up a while." Stiles explains.

"What's a while?" He asks.

"3 days." Stiles says.

"What? Stiles…" His eyes widen as worry fills him.

"IT IS FINE. I will sleep once everything calms down." Stiles says.

"What if that takes a long time?" He asks.

"That's why you are here. You're going to help me after school." Stiles points out.

He looks out the window. He feels a sense of dread. Maybe that is why their called the dread doctors. Assuming that it is them and not someone else copying them. He wanted to ask Theo more questions about them to see if he could figure out something, but that did not really happen.

He looks at Stiles. Good thing he is a human because he did everything that he could do wash himself clean of Theo. It should be fine. No one really pays much attention anyway. They arrive at the school and Liam gets out to go to his first class.

"Meet me back here this afternoon." Stiles says.

"Aye, Aye Sir." Liam salutes him.

Stiles rolls his eyes. He walks in the other direction to his class. Liam walks into the school and almost gets run over by Malia.

"Where the hell have you been?" Malia hisses at him.

"What do you mean?" He asks.

"I have been trying to call you all morning." She hisses.

"What?" He looks down at his phone and sees missed calls from Malia and Stiles. He has to start paying attention to his phone again.

"What is going on?" He asks.

"Oh, you mean other than the fact that Lydia is missing?" Malia asks, looking at him with anger.

"What? We just saw her. I do not understand. Stiles didn't say anything." He says.

"Scott didn't tell him yet. He has been a little preoccupied and as you can probably tell, a little sleep deprived. He didn't want to freak him out just yet." Malia explains.

"We have to tell him." He points out.

"Why do you smell like Theo?" Malia asks.

"Um..

"Mr. Dunbar. Coming to class?" Mr. Douglas asks in the doorway.

"Yes. I will see you later." He says to Malia.

He sighs in relief and heads into his classroom. He sits down next to Mason who is glaring at him.

"What?" He asks confused.

"I think we need to talk." Mason says.

He looks back at the chalk board and tries to focus on what he is supposed to learn. Mr. Douglas goes into something about a test coming up. He looks out the window and wonders where Lydia could be. He just saw her. Did anyone call her mother? He taps nervously on the desk trying to determine what he can do. He likes Lydia. She is one of the only ones he still trusts. He sort of trust Stiles, but recently he seems like he is losing his mind.

He hears coughing and looks up at Mr. Douglas. He is pounding on his chest and trying to catch his breath. He looks at Mason.

"Are you okay?" A student asks.

"One moment." Mr. Douglas says.

He coughs and walks to the back of the room walking into the back closet. He hears coughing and gagging. Is this person a smoker? He looks over at Hayden who is looking back at him with questioning eyes. He sees a paper slide across his desk. Mason is waiting for him to read it. He opens it.

"We need to talk to Lucas. He is the only one who has no reason to lie about what he knows." He looks back at Mason.

He nods.

Mr. Douglas comes back to the front of the classroom and continues his lecture. It is a long day.

"I'm in." Hayden says.

He turns around and sees Hayden standing there. She looks worried and is looking back and forth between Mason and him.

"In?" He asks.

"Whatever you and Mason are doing. I want to help." Hayden says.

"I just want to know why we have a Lowenmensch and why we possibly have a copycat of a dread doctor." Mason says.

"Also, Lydia is gone." Liam says.

"What? When did that happen?" Hayden asks.

"I don't know. Malia just told me, but we saw her the other day. I do not know. We need to figure out what the hell is happening." He says.

"Ok, we start with Lucas. He knows a lot about the dread doctors and has no reason not to share it. Hayden can you go with Brett to see if you can help Malia find out where Lydia might be?" Mason asks.

"Brett?" He asks.

"Yes, he called me this morning. He is wanting to help us too." Mason says.

"Ok. I will text you anything I find." Hayden says.

Mason starts walking with him out into the parking lot. Stiles. Darn. He checks his phone to shoot him a text. He will meet up with him later. Besides, once Malia and Scott tell him about Lydia, he will want to focus on that anyway. He gets in the car. He frowns.

"Where is Corey?" He asks Mason.

"I don't know. I tried to text him earlier, but he did not respond. I think we might be going through a rough patch." Mason sighs.

"I'm sorry…..I didn't…

He hears that high pitched sound again. He covers his ears. He hears Mason yelling something to him, but he cannot hear anything but the sound. He feels the car vibrate and he shuts his eyes. He wants to scream. The sound is too loud, and he cannot hear anything. All the blood rushes to his head and his head throbs. He roars trying to stop the sound. He hears a thud and a bunch of screaming voices. The sound starts to fade, and his heartbeat slows. His vision starts to return and he feels Mason shaking him.

He looks around and sees horrified looks on his fellow students faces.

"Are you okay?" Mason asks.

"I think so. Did anything happen?" Liam asks.

"Other than you roaring and a tree falling down on my car? No." Mason says.

He looks at Mason's car. The hood is bent up and a tree is on top of it. He sees Mason take out his phone to dial for help. He looks around. He does not see anything else, but that was louder than the last time. That cannot be a good sign. He looks back at his phone. He sees a text message pop up.

"I found Lucas. He is dripping with silver." Hayden's text reads.

"Lucas is gone." He tells Mason.

"Well, obviously we should tell Scott." Mason says, rubbing his face in his hands.

"Why?" he asks.

"What do you mean why? Chimeras are dying and we have some weird noise thing that keeps happening and it is affecting supernatural creatures. Why wouldn't we tell him?" Mason asks.

"He kicked me out of the Sheriff's station." He frowns.

"So, you tell him nothing?" Mason asks.

"No. Of course not, but I don't know what to do." He admits.

"I have to go home anyway. I have to find Corey. What if he is next?" Mason asks.

Mason drives faster than normal but he doesn't say anything. He sees the worry on his face and he is biting his lip.

He drives them back to the house and they walk inside to find Corey and Theo already sitting at the kitchen table.

"Where have you been?" Mason asks, looking angry.

"I was out with Theo. Hayden said she found Lucas?" Corey asks.

"Apparently. I also heard the noise again." Liam says.

"Well, Stiles found Lydia. She is in Eichen at the moment. Her mother thinks she is losing her mind." Theo says.

Stiles found Lydia. He told Theo before he told Liam. He tries not to feel hurt by that. He looks at the floor and tries to not let it bother him. He also wonders why Lydia's mom felt like she was losing her mind. She seemed fine to him and it does not make much sense. She has been aware of the supernatural for a little while now. He feels his phone vibrate. He looks down at it and sees a text from Scott.

Scott: Liam, I think we have to talk.

Why does everyone want to talk all of a sudden? No one wanted to talk to him before and now everyone wants his time. What does that mean? Should he be concerned. His wolf growls and he attempts to determine if he should talk to Scott, or anyone for that matter. Maybe he should be left alone for a while.

He walks over to the kitchen table and throws his bag on it.

"I think we should go down to the tunnels and see if there is anything we can find." Theo says.

"Sure, whatever." Liam grumbles.

"You, okay?" Mason asks.

"I guess. I do not know. Not really." He says.

Theo does not give him any time to explain. He pulls him up and they head out the door. When they get to the tunnels, he looks at his phone again. Maybe he should text Scott back. He sighs in annoyance. His phone is grabbed out of his hand. He sees Theo put it in his pocket. He narrows his eyes at Theo.

"What the hell." He growls.

"Your supposed to be focusing on what we are doing right now." Theo scowls at him.

"Oh, I am sorry there has been a lot going on right now. Would you know anything about that?" He sneers.

"What does that mean?" Theo asks, narrowing his eyes at him.

"Just forget it." He storms off around the corner.

He looks at the far wall and sees Scott's pack symbol. He looks around. He does not sense anyone else in here. He looks at it closely. He remembers a time when he did not want to be around them at all. When he was first bitten that is. There has been a lot of anger and a lot of terrible choices, but he has made some terrible choices too. He might still be making terrible choices.

He hears footsteps approaching and he walks back around the corner.

"Nothing is here." Liam says.

"Ok, let's go this way." Theo says, turning around.

He tears his pillow in frustration.

What the hell is he supposed to do now? He has been lying to Scott technically, and now he is sort of lying to the chimera pack by not telling them what he saw. No one has even discussed what is going on with Lucas. No one asked any questions. It is like they are in survival mode and everyone is attempting to figure out how to stay alive. He has yet to text Scott back. They did not even find anything in the tunnels. He takes his phone out and hears a knock on the door.

"Come in." He grumbles.

Theo walks in and smirks at him. He hates that smirk sometimes. He does not know if he wants to smack him or not.

"You look mad." Theo says.

"I think I have to go home." He says.

"You are home." Theo says.

His wolf whimpers at that and he feels his chest clench.

Theo sits down on the bed next to him. He pushes him back onto the bed so he is laying on his back. He studies him and Liam averts his eyes. He feels goosebumps as Theo runs his hand over his side. His heart aches as Theo scans him, trying to determine what he is thinking. He does not even know what he is thinking half the time. He just knows that things have become too out of control.

"Little Angry Wolf, talk to me. What is going on?" Theo asks.

"I don't know. That's the problem." He admits.

Theo leans in and kisses down the side of his neck. The yearning he felt earlier returns. His wolf feels restless again. Hands slide up his shirt and he shivers at the contact. He feels a nipping at his neck and arches up at the contact.

"Stay with me." Theo says.
