AN: I don't recall if Sheriff Stilinski's first name has ever been said on the show or not. But according to Teen Wolk Wiki his first name is Noah. So that's what I went with for this chapter. Also my villians will be a major part of the next chapter, so everything will becoming together here shortly. Again I have proof read this, I think that I have gotten all spelling, grammer, and other mistakes. But no promises, LOL. As always I hope that you will leave a review, I would love to hear your thoughts! And as always, I hope that you enjoy!

Chapter 4

Revelations

Liam felt like two things desperately needed to happen. First Malia needed to be taken out and shut up. And then secondly a hole needed to open up and drop him into the depths of the Earth. The resounding silence around the dinner table was more than enough for Liam to figure out that this wasn't going well, especially since his heartrate was now through the roof. And to Liam's frustration he could see out of the corner of his eye that Scott was looking at him, as well as Malia with concerned looks. The look of surprise on both of his parent's faces was a clue that they weren't expecting that answer. Stiles looked like he wanted to strangle Malia. Lydia's eyebrows were raised, but her expression remained neutral. Melissa and Noah looked like they had just entered a dangerous situation.

Dr. Geyer cleared his throat. "Excuse me, what did you say?"

Malia glanced from Liam to his stepdad. "Liam's a werewolf. Scott is his Alpha."

Liam cursed his short stature, because he couldn't kick Malia under the table. Liam's mom leaned forward and put her elbows on the table. "I am afraid that I don't follow you and its Malia right?"

Malia nodded. "Scott, Liam, Lydia and I are all supernatural creatures."

Stiles spoke next. "Malia, this wasn't your secret to share."

Malia gave a look around the table like she didn't understand. "I thought Liam told his parents already."

Dr. Geyer turned to look at Liam and kind of laughed a little. Liam had started to slide down in his chair. "Ok, good one guys. But honestly, what's going on?"

Liam gritted his teeth and decided to just bite the bullet. "Malia's right dad, I am a Werewolf, and Scott is my Alpha."

Dr. Geyer shook his head. "Ok stop with the games…"

"I am not joking dad." Liam interrupted his step dad. Liam sat up in his chair, and closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and when he opened them, they were not his normal ocean blue, but they were glowing bright yellow.

Liam's mom gasped and she let out a small cry. Dr. Geyer moved back in shock. "I have been a Werewolf for almost two years now."

Dr. Geyer looked from Liam to Scott; there was a little anger in his voice. "You're his Alpha? What does that mean?"

Scott quickly closed his eyes and reopened them to show them glowing red. "I am an Alpha Werewolf, and Liam is my Beta because I bit him."

Dr. Geyer spoke an his voice was sounding angrier than before. "Why in the hell did you bite my son?"

Scott quickly changed his eyes back; Liam changed his eyes back as Scott spoke. "It was the only thing that I could do to save his life that night."

"What do you mean by that?" Liam's mom asked.

Scott sighed. "Earlier that day during lacrosse tryouts Stiles and I were asked to defend the goal, and I was getting a tad jealous of him, and I had barely tapped into my abilities and before I realized what I had done, Liam had gotten hurt and that was why his ankle was broke. At the hospital you had a patient named Sean Walcott, who had survived his family being killed; Sean was a Wendigo you see, and Sean had initially attacked the Sherriff deputy that was guarding him for food. My mom had gone into check on him when he attacked her."

Dr. Geyer interrupted Scott. "Sean, was a what?"

Stiles cleared his throat. "A Wendigo, they're a cannibalistic shape shifter that eat human flesh. Their whole eyes glow yellow and then they make this rattling noise."

Liam's mom looked unnerved. "What does this have to do with Liam?"

Scott glanced at Liam. "Well after I pulled Sean off of my mom he got away and he ended up finding Liam, and then took Liam up to the roof of the hospital. I finally caught up to him and tried to get Sean to let Liam go and not eat him, when he threw Liam down as I tried to get closer. Liam went over the top and was hanging onto the ledge of the roof and I was trying desperately to hold onto him, and at the same time keep Sean off of me."

Scott paused and took a quick drink of his water. "Liam started to slip and I just reacted and I ended up reaching forward and biting him. A professional assassin known as the Mute ended up pulling Sean off of me and killing him before leaving. I had managed to bring Liam back up and at first I was more concerned about the Mute coming back after me; but from all of the yelling in pain that Liam was doing, I then noticed the horror of what I had done."

Liam looked at his parents who just seemed too shocked to register anything yet. Scott then spoke again and Liam looked at him. "If I could go back and change that night, I would. I never wanted to give Liam this life as a Werewolf. I was bitten too, and I didn't get a choice either. When I became an Alpha, I vowed that I would never bite anyone. But things don't always work the way that you want them too. So be that as it may, since Liam is my Beta, I wouldn't change that for anything, because he saved me in Mexico."

Liam now felt a blush creep up his neck and cheeks. Sheriff Stilinski cleared his throat. "When Stiles told me what was going on, I didn't believe him at first. But after getting abducted to be used as a sacrifice for a Darach, I came to a better understanding of what is going on here in Beacon Hills, at least on the supernatural level."

Melissa spoke next. "You asked me a couple months ago if I knew things, and I said that I could tell you things, but they wouldn't be able to help save the Sheriff. This is what I was talking about."

Liam's mom shook her head. "So if Scott and Liam are Werewolves, what are Malia and Lydia?"

Lydia, who had hadn't said a word since asking for water when asked what she wanted for a drink, spoke. "Malia is a Werecoyote, and I am a Banshee. We're both a part of Scott's pack."

Dr. Geyer seemed to find his voice. "Did Scott bite the two of you as well?"

Lydia shook he head. "No, Malia was born as a Werecoyote. But I was bitten by Peter Hale. He was an Alpha werewolf at the time, and he was the one that bit Scott. When he bit me, I healed from the bite, because I was immune to it, however but the bite from Peter woke up my powers."

Dr. Geyer frowned as he spoke. "So this Alpha werewolf bite what is it, like an unplanned pregnancy thing?"

Scott's eyes got wide. "NO, no, no, no it is nothing like that."

Liam saw the smirk on Stiles' face. "Are you sure, Scott? Because one could argue that this could be like it. I mean come on, you even turned Hayden."

Liam saw the look on Scott's face as he glared at Stiles for a moment. Liam turned back to his step dad, when he spoke. "Hayden? What does she have to do with this?"

Scott turned back to face Dr. Geyer. "We just got done fighting the Dread Doctors, who were para-scientists. They were trying to change the rules of the supernatural. The Dread Doctors were targeting people who were genetic Chimeras, people who had literally two sets of DNA. Hayden was one of the unfortunate people that they selected to work on. But the Dread Doctors were trying to resurrect a killer from a long time ago, a creature known to history as the Beast of Gevaudan, and they succeed in creating it in Mason."

Dr. Geyer shook his head. "Mason is one of you guys as well?"

Scott shook his head. "He was, but we saved him. He doesn't seem to have any lasting effects from his experience as a Chimera, other than maybe some emotional ones. But he hasn't said anything to me though. The Beast was also a person named Sebastian Valet, and he had injured Hayden. Deaton managed to stabilize her from her injury, but to undo the effects of what the Dread Doctors had done to Hayden, I had to bite her."

"Yeah, which you refused to do at first, and that lead to you and Liam fighting and him killing you." Malia said from her spot at the end of the table.

Liam saw Stiles gesture widely. "Why would you say that?"

Malia gave Stiles another confused look unsure as to what she said was wrong this time. Scott sighed next to Liam and Liam started to slip down in his chair again as his stepdad and mom turned to look at him. Liam saw the look of shock and anger on their faces. Liam was almost shoulder level with the table, when Scott spoke again. "It's not Liam's fault."

Surprised as usual Liam looked up at Scott. Melissa cleared her throat. "He attacked you Scott; you cannot say that he didn't do that."

Scott shook his head. "I don't blame Liam for attacking me."

Liam's mom spoke with the anger in her voice. "And why is that? Liam should be punished for it."

Scott gave a small smile. "I feel that Liam has suffered enough as it is and that he doesn't need to be punished. That's why I forgave him. Liam wasn't in his right mind when he did it. And to be fair none of us were. Theo had gotten into all of our heads and played us all against each other tearing us apart as a pack. Because Hayden was dying from what the Dread Doctors had done to her, and she was Liam's first love, I can understand as to why, especially since Theo didn't help matters. I didn't help matters either considering I was having troubles myself due to Theo, and I wasn't sure that if I did anything to Hayden if it would make things better or worse for her."

Dr. Geyer cleared his throat. "You're not angry with him?'

Scott shook his head. "No, I am not. Like I said, Liam has been a good friend and Beta. We just had one little hiccup and I am not going to hold it over him like others might. I am not like other Werewolves either, and if Liam were in another pack that Alpha would have either kicked him out of the pack or killed him."

Liam cleared his throat. "Look mom, dad I am sorry that I kept this from you. I just didn't know how to tell you guys about all of this stuff and when Scott bit me it was just after I had transferred here from Devenford, and I was just so afraid that if you two found out about this that you would look at me like you did when I was expelled from Devenford."

Liam's mom's voice was soft when she spoke. "Look at you how?"

Liam glanced down at the table. "That you would look at me like I was a monster." Liam took a moment to compose himself. "But getting the bite from Scott has done me a lot of good. Scott told me that I wasn't a monster, that I was a Werewolf. He helped me to learn how to control myself so that I wouldn't shift into a Werewolf when I got angry. Learning how to do that it has also helped me learn how to handle my I.E.D. better as well. Scott has been the first person really, other than Mason, and of course Lydia that treats me like an equal person and not something delicate that is going to explode any minute."

Dr. Geyer hung his head. "I am sorry if we made you feel that way Liam."

Sheriff Stilinski cleared his throat. "Well this certainly has been a stimulating conversation, but if no one objects, I would like to eat. I kind of need to go back to the station and do some paperwork tonight."

At that everyone laughed. Melissa cleared her throat. "If you two need someone to talk to, I am here to talk to. I was once where you guys are now when I found out about Scott."

Dr. Geyer nodded. "Thank you Melissa, I really appreciate that. I might take you up on that."

With that dinner went on without any further delay.

It was a few hours after dinner at Liam's house and Lydia was getting ready for bed. She was sitting at her vanity brushing her hair when she heard her name being called again.

Lydia

Lydia sighed and looked around her room. She set her brush down and stood up and walked over to her window. As she put her hands on the window to close it she heard it again.

Lydia, don't close it.

Lydia shook her head. "Don't count on it."

With that Lydia started to close the window, when a pair of arms darted through the remaining gap of the window and two hands closed around Lydia's wrists. Lydia let out a scared shriek and she looked up to see a man standing on the other side of the window with glowing Amethyst purple eyes. "Don't do this, Lydia. We need you."

Lydia was shocked to see that the person standing there was Ethan. Lydia channeled her powers and she gave a push and Ethan's grip on her wrists was loosened and he was thrown back across the yard. Lydia then slammed her window shut. She reached for her phone and she called Scott. On the third ring Scott picked up. "Hey Lydia, wha…."

Lydia cut Scott off. "Scott, get over her now. I have been attacked."

"I'm on my way."

Lydia tossed her phone down and slipped on some slippers and she went outside. She threw open the front door and was ready for a fight, but she saw no trace of Ethan. A few moments passed and Lydia then heard running and Scott appeared as well as another person jumping over the hedge in her front yard. As soon as Scott landed she saw that he and his companion were fully wolfed out and scanning the yard. Lydia's eyes fell on the person next to him and when he looked up Lydia raised her hands and took up a fighting stance. "Watch out Scott, he's here."

Scott turned around quickly but didn't see anything. "Lydia, I don't see anything."

Lydia stared at the other man who was also scanning the yard with glowing blue eyes. "He's right there, Scott! He is standing right next to you."

Scott turned to look, and glanced between Lydia and the guy that arrived with him. "You mean Ethan?"

"Yeah," Lydia spoke angrily. "He grabbed me and said that he needed me."

Ethan relaxed his stance as well as Scott. "Lydia, I have been with Scott since he got home."

Lydia dropped her fighting stance in shock. "But, but I swear it was you. You grabbed me. You told me not to close my window. I could swear that your eyes were glowing purple though."

Scott and Ethan change back to their normal looks, Scott crossed the yard to Lydia. "You said glowing purple eyes?"

Lydia nodded. Scott looked at Ethan, then back to Lydia. "I think that my dream from the other night was a lot more real than I thought it was."

Ethan glanced at Scott. "What makes you say that?"

"The girl that was outside my house the night in that so called dream, her eyes also glowed purple." Scott said.

Lydia frowned. "What do you think this means?"

Scott frowned. "I think we have a new enemy."

Lydia looked at Ethan. "You sure that it wasn't you?"

Scott answered for Ethan. "He has been with me for the last two and half hours."

Lydia sighed. "Alright, what do you want me to do?"

Scott thought for a minute. "Has your mom got the Mountain Ash in place yet?"

"Yeah, she did yesterday." Lydia replied.

"Ok, have her seal the house up tonight. I will call and check on you later." Scott said as he turned to Ethan. "Let's go meet up with Deaton and Chris."

"I am coming too." Lydia said.

Scott shook his head. "No, if these new creatures are after you, then I want you safe."

Lydia sighed in defeat. "Fine, but I do it in protest."

Scott smiled. "I love you like a sister, Lydia."

With that Lydia reentered her house, and her mom set the Mountain Ash barrier.

After the dinner at Liam's house Scott rode with his mom as they traveled home. Melissa cleared her throat. "I know that you have a soft spot for Liam, Scott, but..."

Scott interrupted his mom. "I know what you're going to say, and I have already made up my mind and I have forgiven him. You should as well, mom. I know that he confessed something to you that night in the hospital, because I could tell by that look you give people when you're talking to someone and you're not sure if you should say anything. I would just like to see you trust him again."

Melissa sighed. "Alright, I will do it since you asked me too. Oh…who is that on our front porch?"

Scott glanced up to see Ethan sitting on one of the chairs with a duffel bag at his feet on the McCall front porch. Scott broke out into a big smile. "That's Ethan."

Once Melissa had the car parked, Scott was out and hurrying up to the porch. "Ethan! I am so glad that you could make it!"

Ethan stood up off the chair and met Scott at the top of the porch steps and both boys hugged. "I almost didn't come, but Danny convinced me to."

Scott let Ethan go from their hug. "Well I will have to thank Danny the next time that I see him. You're the first one here so I guess you can have the spare room across from mine."

Ethan smiled at that, but he moved to shake Melissa's hand as she came up the steps. "Mrs. McCall, it's been a while."

Melissa smiled. "It has been a while, it is good to see you again Ethan. I am glad that you could make it for Christmas."

With that Melissa passed by the boys and unlocked the house. Ethan followed Melissa and Scott into the house, and then Scott up the stairs where Scott showed him the room that he would be staying in. Ethan tossed his duffel bag on the bed as he turned to look at Scott. "So I heard a rumor that you have yourself a Beta, one that you bit?"

Scott nodded a little sheepishly. "I actually have two. I bit Liam to save his life and I bit Hayden to undo what had been done to her."

Ethan nodded. "I never thought that you would make a Beta, let alone two."

Scott rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah, Liam has been at this a little longer than Hayden has."

Ethan took a seat on the bed. "I also heard that you took out a bunch of professional assassins."

Scott smiled. "Yeah, as well as some Dread Doctors that made a bunch of Chimeras and a resurrected Werewolf."

Ethan let out a small laugh. "Boy you have been busy."

There was a knock on the door and both boys turned to see Melissa standing there. "Ethan have you had anything to eat yet?"

Ethan shook his head. "Not since this morning."

Melissa raised an eyebrow. "What would you like to eat? I can make you a sandwich if you want."

Ethan let out a nervous chuckle. "Sure that would be fine."

Melissa smiled. "I got ham or turkey, which would you like?"

Ethan shrugged. "A ham sandwich sounds good. Thank you Mrs. McCall."

Melissa smiled. "Alright, I can do that. And Ethan, you can call me Melissa."

Ethan's cheeks grew slightly red. "I will keep that in mind."

Once Melissa had left, Scott cleared his throat. "So what else is going on with you since you left?"

Ethan sighed. "Well you know that Danny and I broke up. But he said that he wanted to stay in touch as a friend. But other than that, I have not been doing a whole lot. I enrolled in school up in Seattle. I know that Aiden wasn't too fond of it, but I happened to like school. I ended up taking extra classes during this last summer and I am on track to graduating this year."

Scott smiled. "That's cool. Have you found anyone new yet?"

Ethan gave Scott a sad smile. "No I haven't. I am still a little hung up on Danny."

"Oh." Scott said. "I am sorry."

Ethan sat down on the bed. "Hey, it is okay. How about you? Did you and that Asian girl get together?"

Scott chuckled as he sat down next to Ethan. "You mean Kira? Yeah we did for a while. But when we were fighting the Dread Doctors they had done something to her and her Kitsune became unbalanced and she started to turn into a Dark Kitsune. She ended up making a deal with some Skin Walkers to try and learn how to regain balance like she had before, and so she left to do that."

Ethan's eyes were a little wide. "Wow. I am sorry. Anyone new catch your eye?"

Scott chuckled again. "No, no one has really caught my eye. I think I am just going to play the singles game for a while."

Ethan nodded. Ethan then asked Scott more about his recent escapades about the assassins, and finding out about who the Benefactor was. Then the conversation changed to Kate and her Berserkers as well as her turning Scott into one. Melissa came in and gave Ethan two sandwiches and quickly exited. "I don't really recall a whole lot as a Berserker, but I just remember when I picked up Liam and was about to kill him that I felt like something snapped inside me. Liam just kept talking to me and it was what seemed to break the hold of the Berserker on me."

Ethan quickly swallowed the rest of his sandwich. "What was it that he was saying to you?"

Scott gave Ethan a lopsided grin. "What I had once told when he first changed. He told me 'Scott, stop, listen, listen, listen. You're not monster, you're a Werewolf. Like me.'"

Ethan raised an eyebrow. "And that is what broke the hold on you?"

Scott nodded. "Yeah it was his connection to me as my Beta and what I had told him."

Ethan's right cheek picked up a little bit in a smirk. "How do you feel about, Liam?"

Scott sighed. "He's a good kid. He has some anger issues, and then with what Theo did to all of his, I would say that he probably has some trust issues. We had one little hiccup though where he attacked me, but I think he and I are doing alright."

Ethan was really smirking at this point, and he let out a chuckle. At that moment Scott's cell started to ring. On third ring Scott answered. "Hey Lydia, wha…."

"Scott, get over her now. I have been attacked." Lydia said in a rush.

"I'm on my way."

Scott looked at Ethan. "Lydia's been attacked."

"I'll follow you."

With that Scott and Ethan rushed down the stairs. As Scott crossed the distance between the front door and the stairs he yelled. "Mom, Lydia's been attacked. We're leaving."

And with that both boys bolted out the front door and hit their full speed running to Lydia's.

Once there, and assessing that she was alright and Lydia being secured in the Mountain Ash barrier of her house, that Scott and Ethan started to head to the animal shelter. Scott called Deaton first who told them to meet him at the animal shelter. Then there was a quick phone call to Chris. Scott and Ethan hustled over to the animal shelter. Once arriving there Scott was surprised to see Stiles pulling up in his jeep with Malia as well as Liam hopping off of a bike. Scott noticed the sour look on Liam's face. Stiles slammed the door to the jeep. "Well damn, I lost that bet."

Malia shutting her door asked. "What bet?"

Liam moved forward with a serious look on his face. "Who's this?"

Scott glanced between Liam and Ethan. "Liam this is Ethan. It's okay; he's a part of this pack."

Liam frowned at that. "I don't trust him."

Stiles sighed. "Liam, Ethan's okay. He and his brother turned on Deucalion. Then they helped us take down the Nogitsune and the Oni."

Scott sighed and put his hand on Liam's shoulder. Liam turned his head to look at Scott's hand on his shoulder and then looked up at Scott. "Liam, this isn't going to be like it was with Theo, I promise."

Liam glanced at Scott's hand again then sighed. "Okay, but if hurts any of us, I am ripping his balls off."

Ethan let out a chuckle. "Scott, I like this kid he's got some spirt."

Scott noticed the glare that Liam gave Ethan. "What are all of you guys doing here anyway?"

"Lydia called us after you left her place." Malia said as she eyed Ethan.

Scott turned to Liam. "Ok, why are you here?"

Liam looked at the ground. "I may have followed you here."

Scott smiled and shook his head. Everyone turned when a set of headlights illuminated everyone and a red vehicle pulled in and Chris Argent stepped out. "Scott, I thought it was just going to be four of us?"

Scott let out a chuckle. "Lydia tipped everyone off."

Chris nodded. "Well let's go in. I doubt that Deaton wants to be kept waiting."

Liam was standing between Scott and this new guy that Scott said was named Ethan. Liam could feel Ethan's eyes on him the whole time that they were in there. Liam shook his head and tuned back into the conversation at hand. Scott had just told everyone about his dream from earlier in the week about this girl with glowing purple eyes outside his house. And then he relayed what happened to Lydia earlier in the week and then the events of tonight.

Deaton had been quiet the whole time and hadn't said anything for a while. "You said both individuals had glowing purple eyes?"

Scott nodded. "I would almost say like an Amethyst purple."

Deaton nodded. "Hmmm, that is a very interesting piece of information."

Chris cleared his throat. "I have gone through the Beastiary and I couldn't find any information on anything that would have bird talon claws. I don't even recall anything about Amethyst colored eyes either."

"Your family has been around for several centuries and you've compiled book on everything that you've hunted and you have no idea what it is?" Stiles asked a little exasperated.

Chris turned to Stiles. "Well sorry to disappoint you, Stiles. But some of these things that we've hunted over the years we have only encountered once or twice. My family mainly concentrated on Werewolves, so some of the other creatures didn't really rank high on the list to take down."

"Be that as it may, I haven't heard of anything either in all of my travels." Deaton said. "And I have been all over the world working with the supernatural, and this the first time that I have heard of anything like this."

"So what do we know then?" Liam asked.

"That there is two of whatever these things are. And that they most likely took the items from Argent's warehouse, and that they have similar claws to your own, Liam." Deaton said. "We also know that they are at the very least that they're for sure after Scott and Lydia."

Liam nodded, he then turned to Scott. "Why is that everyone that comes here that is supernatural, always wants you?"

Scott gave Liam a puzzled look and shrugged his shoulders.

"Maybe it's your charming personality." Stiles suggested.

Everyone in the room chuckled except Liam, who just frowned. Scott looked around at the group. "Well I guess everyone just keep your eyes and ears open. I don't know what else we can do at this point, so let's all call it a night."

Stiles and Malia quickly filed out as well as Chris. Scott said he wanted to talk to Deaton for a second but had Liam go out the back with Ethan. Liam glanced at Ethan, who was still looking at him. "What's your problem?"

Ethan blinked. "I beg your pardon?"

Liam crossed his arms as he looked up at the older teen. "You have been looking at me ever since you got here. So I will say it again, what's your problem?"

Ethan chuckled. "You're something you know that?"

Liam frowned. "Why are you here?"

Ethan smiled. "Scott invited me down for Christmas. I initially didn't want to come, but Danny convinced me to come down for the holidays. I have history with Scott before he ever bit you. My twin brother and I joined his pack after we lost our Alpha powers, and helped him learn to control his Alpha powers and help him fight the Oni and Void Stiles or the Nogitsune. I am nothing like Theo."

Liam looked down at the ground. Ethan took a deep breath and noticed that something was off in Liam's chemo signals. "I understand that you're being protective. But…"

Liam looked up at Ethan. Liam saw the registered shock on Ethan's face. "What?"

Ethan closed his mouth. "It's not my place."

Liam stepped forward and grabbed Ethan by the shirt. "It's not your place to what?"

Ethan gave Liam sad eyes. "I understand now why you're so threatened by me."

Liam's grip loosened a little, but Liam got up in Ethan's face. "Really and why is that?"

"I know that you're in love with Scott."

Liam let go of Ethan and took three steps back. "What…what do you mean?"

Ethan smoothed out his shirt. "Your chemo signal, it's giving you away."

Liam felt like he had just been landed with a punch from a Berserker, and he looked at the ground. He didn't realize that he had tears in his eyes until Ethan said something.

"Hey don't cry." Ethan took a step forward and put a hand on Liam's shoulder. "It's okay."

Liam wiped at his eyes and shrugged Ethan's hand off. "Only three people know, Hayden, Mason, and Scott's mom. Stiles, Malia, and Lydia all think something is up cause I dressed up earlier this week."

Ethan blinked. "So Scott doesn't know?"

Liam looked up at Ethan and then shook his head. "No he doesn't. And I don't even know where I would begin with telling him."

Ethan nodded, but before he could say anything the back door to the animal clinic opened and Scott came out. He took two steps before his eyes zeroed in on Liam. He took the five steps remaining to Liam and put his hands on Liam's shoulders. "Liam, are you ok?"

Liam swallowed hard and shook his head. "Yeah, I am alright. It has just been a really emotional day."

Scott nodded. "So how did you end up here anyway tonight?"

"Oh, I um…I had called your phone and you didn't answer, so I called Lydia and she said that you were headed here."

Scott nodded again as heard the steady beat of Liam's heart. "Ok, was there something that you wanted to talk about?"

Liam glanced at Ethan. "Yeah there was, but I forgot on the way over to here."

Scott dropped a hand then ran his other through Liam's hair which was starting to grow longer than it had been and then dropped his hand. "Alright, well you better get home then. I am sure that your parents are going to be a little more watchful of you since they know the truth now."

Liam nodded. "Yeah, you're right. I will see you tomorrow, Scott. Ethan it was nice to meet you."

Liam stuck out his hand and Ethan shook it. "Likewise little guy."

With that Liam walked over and grabbed his bike and hopped on it and the proceeded with the 15 minute ride home at Werewolf speed. Liam parked his bike just inside the gate to the back yard and then moved along the darkened house to where his window was. Liam crouched down and Jumped up onto the eight foot branch of the tree next to his window, then jumped from the branch with a soft landing onto the ledge of his open window.

Liam had barely crawled in through the window and have his feet hit the floor, when the light on his desk came on to show his step dad sitting there with a concerned look on his face. Liam was startled as his eyes adjusted. "Liam, I think I would like to talk a little more about this."

Liam stood there frozen, not sure where else this conversation is going to go.
