Liam's eyes flashed yellow with jealousy as he stared at the scene in front of him. Brett Talbot was leaning against Rose's locker talking to her. Not long after the events in Mexico, Brett decided to leave Satomi's pack and join Scott's. Although Brett loved Satomi, he just felt like Scott was meant to be his Alpha. This caused Brett to transfer from Devenford Prep to Beacon Hills High. Liam just couldn't believe that Rose had only been going to Beacon Hills for a week now and Brett was already flirting with her! Mason walked over to where Liam was standing and noticed the boy's eye color.
"Dude, your eyes – you need to calm down," Mason warned. He put his hand on Liam's shoulder and the contact turned the beta's eyes back to their original ocean blue. "Why don't you just go ask her out?"
Liam turned to face his friend. "I was wrong before. That is the stupidest thing you've ever said." He turned back to see Rose laughing at something Brett had said. Before Liam had any time to react, Mason pushed him toward Brett and Rose. He had no choice but to continue walking toward the two.
"Liam," Brett said, nodding his head.
"Brett," Liam responded. Ever since they talked in the locker room after their lacrosse game, they had been able to tolerate each other more. Although, they didn't have much choice considering they were in the same pack now.
"So I'll see you Friday night?" Rose asked Brett.
"Definitely," the tall boy smiled as he walked away. Liam's heart sank a little. He assumed they were talking about going on a date.
"So what's Friday night?" Liam asked flatly.
"That's actually something I wanted to talk to you about," Rose said cheerily. "So you know how last week Mason told me that I need to get people to notice me?" Liam nodded. "Well I think I figured out how to do that. My parents are both going to be out of town this weekend, so I'm going to have a party at my house this Friday night!" she exclaimed. Liam loved how excited she was getting over this. "And since you're friends with a lot of upperclassmen and you seem pretty popular, I was wondering if you could get the word out for me and try to invite as many people as you can."
"So you just want me to invite people? Or do you want me to go, too?" Liam asked.
"No, I'm just telling you about my party because I don't want you to come," Rose said sarcastically and started laughing. "Of course I want you there!" Liam tried to fight the huge smile that was tugging at the corners of his mouth, but he finally gave in and grinned.
"Alright, well I'll tell Mason. He's really good at inviting people," Liam said as he recalled what happened at Lydia's lake house on his first full moon.
"Great! I hope I'll see you there!" Rose smiled as she walked away.
On Friday night, Liam pulled up to Rose's house in the back of Stiles' jeep with Mason, Stiles, Lydia, and Malia. Kira was driving separately with Scott. When they parked, Liam felt a rush of nervousness.
"Liam your heartbeat is hurting my ears," Malia said. "And you should do something about that smell. You reek of anxiety!" Liam rolled his eyes at her and shook his head. They all got out of the jeep and walked to the front door. Stiles rang the doorbell and Rose answered the door. She was wearing a high-neck black and gold dress with her hair pulled back into a sleek ponytail. She greeted everyone as they walked inside to the room full of dancing teenagers. When Liam and Mason walked in, she pulled them aside.
"I'm so happy you guys made it!" she yelled over the loud music. "And thank you so much for inviting everyone! I didn't expect this many people to show up!"
"No problem!" Mason said.
"Oh Mason, I actually have a surprise for you!" Rose said excitedly. "I was at the mall the other day and I met this guy who I thought would be perfect for you! His name is Danny. He's actually friends with Scott and Stiles! Apparently he used to go to Beacon Hills, and he was on the lacrosse team! He's right over there." Rose pointed toward the tall Hawaiian boy standing by the snack table. Liam looked from Danny back to Rose.
"Thank you!" he said as he started casually walking toward Danny.
"Well I'm gonna go mingle," Rose said to Liam. "If you need anything, I'll be over there." She pointed to the big group of dancing teens and started making her way over to them.
A couple hours into the party, Liam was sitting with Rose in the kitchen eating pizza, Mason and Danny had really hit it off, Malia and Kira were dancing, and the rest of the pack was standing in the corner talking. Liam suddenly looked up at one of the kitchen windows and was staring intently.
"Liam, are you okay?" Rose asked worriedly as she looked at the boy. Instead of responding, Liam pushed her down to the ground, just as a silver bullet flew past her head.
A/N: Danny's back in Beacon Hills! I really missed his character in season 4 and I really hope they bring him back for season 5. I seriously think he and Mason would be perfect together! Also, ever since we found out Brett was a werewolf, I've really wanted him to join Scott's pack because I love the dynamic between him and Liam, so I decided to add that into this story. Thanks for reading!
