Scott P.O.V.
"Hey!" I say to my mom after I close the door "Sorry I'm back so late I was closing up the animal clinic I got more hours to earn a little extra... Money" I say after a short pause when she turn to me unblocking my view from the table where the bag off the deadpool sits, open.
"How much more did you need?" She asks with a fake smile.
Walking up to her I explain "This is payment. From the Deadpool, I found it in Garrett's locker"
"This belongs to Derek" she says nodding. "So your just uh... Keeping it safe for him in a gym back underneath your bed" She says trying to come up with a suitable excuse. "How long have you had it?"
Shaking my head I look down at the floor "Too long" I say looking back up at her.
"You know you have to give it back"
"I was going to"
"Do I wanna know why you haven't?" She ask.
"Because of you" I say after a few seconds
"Me?" She ask and I look up at her to see her looking at the stacks of bills on the counter.
"You mean because we've been struggling a little?"
"Mom, were struggling a lot"
"Scott" My mom sighs out "You can save people's lives. But you cannot save people from life. Life if full of struggles"
"But it doesn't have to be" I explain.
"Honey- " she says but I cut her off.
Putting my helmet on the table I pick up a stack money and hold it up to her.
"This gets us a new roof" I say and put it into my other hand and pick up another. "And this pays for stiles MRI" I place it with the other one and pick another. "This pays of Eichen... this makes Gracie stop thinking all our money problems are her fault" I say looking at her, with wide eyes at what just slipped out. "And this one means you don't have to work double shift at the hospital and come home totally exhausted" I explain picking up another.
Giving me a small smile she turns around and Picks something of the table "What about this one?" She asks handing me another and I turn it over to find it almost covered in blood. Nodding I put the bills back in the bag and zip it up.
"Grace?" she asks.
"The day they turned the power out and you were explaining about the fridge went" I say and she nods "I was listening and when I told her what you where saying she blamed herself for Grandpa not sending the money.
"Okay. First , he does send the money, every month and not a day late. That money goes on for food and clothes for you two and second, no more listening in on my privet conversations" she says poking me in the chest.
"Sorry" I say sheepishly and frown when I listen around the house for my sisters heart beat but come up with nothing "Mom, where's Gracie? I don't hear her heart beat" I say and she gives me that look. The 'What did I just say about privacy' look.
"She's at Liam's" She explains with a glare
"Alone? Mom, we just got assassins of our backs. She got set on fire and shot in the shoulder and your just letting her walk around unprotected?" I ask agitated.
"She is at Liam's. A werewolf beta. Your werewolf beta. And if she can't protect herself I'm sure he can"
"I'm not so sure. He's been off lately, ever since the hospital with the berserkers he's been scared. The fear literally rolls off of him. And I don't want them to alone together"
"Why because they're mates? That's what you called it right"
"Yeah" I say and slump my shoulders
"You still haven't told them?"
"No" I groan out
"Are you going to?"
"I think Grace already suspects something"
"But wouldn't it be best coming from you. His Alpha, her brother"
"They just met and I think they're going a bit too fast. I just don't want anyone to get hurt"
"Like you and Allison?" She asks and I look up at her. "She was the new girl and you two jumped straight into dating"
"I just don't want either of them to get hurt"
"I don't know much about wolves but the one thing I do know is that when a wolf finds it's mate, it's for life, they're drawn to each other. They feel complete. Grace may not be a werewolf. But she was born to be with one. She was born to be with Liam"
"How do you know the mating ways of wolves?" I ask amused.
"Hospital Television in the waiting room has the nature channel" She says with a laugh.
A ping sound and she pulls her phone out of her pocket, reading the text with a nod she hands the phone to me.
Staying at Liam's. Don't want to have you or Scott drive in the rain
Love
Grace
"I think it's best. To let them two have the knowledge and go with it at their own pace"
"What if that pace ends up with her pregnant at 16?"
"WHAT? SCOTT! Is that really what you are worrying about?"
"Kinda" I say and takes her phone back and hits me on the back of the head before walking upstairs. "I wonder what she's wearing for school tomorrow" I call up to her.
"Get to bed Scott!"
My phone buzzes in my pocket and I pull it out to find a message from Liam:
Bring G's back pack to School tomorrow?
~ Liam
Sighing in frustration I slide my phone in my pocket so I don't crush it.
Grace P.O.V.
Loud grunts of fighting sound through the speakers of Liam's TV as he and Mason sit on the floor with controllers in their hands. I lie on Liam bed in my dark purple loose vest top, jeggings and purple lightning socks whilst reading a book on wolves.
Everything makes sense now. The constant want to be near him. Being able to feel only his emotions. Being truly happy when I see him. Not to mention always wanting to reach out and touch him, just to make sure he's actually there.
"OHHH!" The boys both say and I look up at the two
"When did you get so good?" Mason asks "You been practicing? Or did you just suddenly get superhuman reflexes?" Mason jokes.
"Uhh? Practicing. Yeah I've been practicing" He tries to convince him and I push my book aside and crawl up between the two, Lying down on my stomach at the end of the bed I pull Liam's face around and peck him on the lips. Pulling back I go to sit up but he pulls me back down into another kiss.
"And I should be studying" Mason says and we pull apart to see him putting the controller down and getting to his feet.
"Where are you going?"
"Home? Got a history test tomorrow" he says dropping back down
"Come on one more game" Liam says trying to make him stay and I look to him confused as I can clearly feel the nerves rolling off of him.
"Yeah, you said that four games ago" Mason explains getting up again and walking to the door.
"Study here, you can stay over" Liam pleads "Grace is studying"
"No Grace is reading a book on Wolves for whatever reason" Mason says with a laugh and Liam gives me a confused glance and turns back to Mason
"Come on, one more game, just one?" Liam pleads again.
"You okay?" Mason asks concerned.
"Yeah, you're right. You should go. I should probably study too" Liam says giving up and I look at Mason confused "See you at school" Liam says not looking up from the floor.
Looking at Mason I nod my head to him and say. "I'm gonna stay a while"
"Yeah, see you tomorrow" Mason say not looking away from Liam until he's out of the door. Listening I wait for him to go out of the front door and away from the house. Getting off the bed I walk around and Kneel in front of Liam.
"Hey?" I ask but he doesn't look up. Confused I place two fingers under his chin and guide his head up to look at me "What's got you so scared?" I ask gently.
"Them, You" He says honestly whilst slightly choking on his words.
"Them? The assassins? Liam they're gone" I explain
"No not the Assassins, the berserkers" He says and I now realise why he's been jumpy and nervous these past few days.
"You can see them cant you?" I ask and he looks at me with wide eyes and nods.
"How do you know?"
"Because I used to too" Liam looks at me confused. "After Allison died. I kept of seeing things too, more specifically I kept on seeing the Oni. I wasn't there for her death but I was close. Scott, Stiles and I were in the tunnels at Oak Creek looking for Lydia and when we found her Scott ran off to help the others. I was human back then and couldn't do anything but shoot a gun so I stayed with Lydia and Stiles. He had collapsed because of what the Nogitsune had done. We were waiting and suddenly Lydia Screams out a name"
"Allison" Liam says and I nod.
"Realising what had happened I rushed after my brother and by the time I got there, she was already gone. After that night I kept n seeing the Oni every way I turned"
"What made it stop?"
"Stile's actually. He, Scott, Kira, Lydia and I went after the Nogitsune but after realising the attacks from the Oni were just illusions. It all stopped and Scott changed the Nogitsune by biting him, you can't be both Wolf and Fox. By the time summer rolled around I was still seeing the Oni until one day stiles comes up to me and says 'It's okay to be afraid. But it isn't okay to let fear rule you' after that I gradually stopped seeing things and now my mind is sound again" I say causing him to laugh lightly.
"How do I get it to go away"
"You look to your friends for guidance. They are the reason we fight. Our friends are the reason we are strong. Not because we have supernatural ability's. Because we use those ability's to keep them from getting hurt"
"What about Stiles? He's not supernatural"
"Oh this is all Stiles fault. He dragged Scott and I into the middle of the woods to look for half a body. He's paying his part of the price" I say and help him to his feet. "Come on you should get some sleep, we have school tomorrow" I explain and let go of his hand and walk over to where my Ugg's are next to his door.
"Can you stay?"
"What?" I ask turning back to him with a boot in my hand. Walking you to me he takes the boot out of my hand and drops it back next to the other one. Taking a hold of my waist he pulls me closer and Kisses me lightly.
"Stay" He repeats.
Sighing I pull out my Phone and text my mom:
Staying at Liam's. Don't want to have you or Scott drive in the rain
Love
Grace
"Done" I say and Slide my phone in my pocket.
"That easy? No response?"
"Mom trusts me" I say shrugging my shoulders "Scott however..."
"Doesn't?"
"Scott thinks I'm a china doll. To delicate to be played with or let out of the box"
"That your better kept, wrapped in bubble wrap, in a box filled with packaging peanuts?"
"And in a earthquake proof safe" I laugh with him. "Damn I forgot my bag homework, it's in my bag at home"
"Is it done?"
"Yeah, just I won't have time to get it tomorrow"
Liam pulls out his phone and types a few words and throws his phone on his bed.
"What did you do?" I ask sliding my arms around his waist.
"Texted your brother to bring it to you tomorrow" He says with a shrug and leans down to kiss me.
"How do you know he doesn't think I'm home?"
"Because It's Scott" He says like it's the answer to everything.
"Come on" I say and walk over to his TV, turning it off. Turning back around I look at him just standing where I left him. "What are you doing?"
"You can umm... You can take the bed" He says awkwardly.
"You're right I can" I say walking up to it and removing my book from it and pulling the sheet back. "And so can you" I can practically feel the giddiness coming from him. Turning back around I look at him and see his face with a smile on it so big it has to hurt. Liam walks forward and pulls the book out of my hand, looking down at it.
"The Hidden Life of Wolves? You don't get enough wolf drama in your life with werewolves so you move fill it with this?" He asks waving the book around.
"No, I – I just wanted to work out a theory" I explain.
"And did you?"
"Yeah, turns out I was right"
"What was it?"
"That you... are highly annoying" I say snatching the book back from a laughing Liam. "Hey can you umm, can you lend me a shirt please?"
"Uh sure here" He says and pulls a plain black t-shirt out of a draw, handing it to me. I place to book next to my boots and pull my vest top off, not caring that Liam is watching my every move, I slip on the shirt and pull it down over my body. Looking up at Liam I undo my jeans and slide them off as well.
"I can't sleep with pants on" I explain and shift the shirt to down past my underwear. Removing my socks I pick up my pants and place everything with my boots and book. Turning back around I look at Liam who's eyes never left me. "Enjoy the show?" I ask laughing.
"Kind of" He says and blushes. Walking over to him I place my hands at the bottom of his white shirt and bring it up over his stomach. Liam lifts his arm up and allows me to pull it over his head leaving him in just a pair of grey joggers. Bending down slightly I place a kiss right where his heart is and he hisses in a breath. "Grace?" He asks nervously.
"Yeah?"
"What are you-?"
"Do you not want me?" I ask hurt. I though he wanted me. He's supposed to want me too.
Understanding my feeling his eyes widen and he nearly shouts out "Oh God I want you, you have no idea how much but I just think that maybe we should start by actually dating" He explains and I jump back in realisation. Liam and I are not dating we're just... us.
"Oh God Liam. I'm so sorry. I should not have done that" I gasp out and drop down on his bed with my head in my hands.
"No you shouldn't have" He says making me feel worse. The mattress shifts slightly telling me he sat down too and I feel him move my blonde hair away and he tucks some behind my ear. "Grace?" He whispers and I look up at him my face wet with fallen tears. "It should have been like this" His say says and he leans forward, placing his lips softly on my, guiding me into a kiss.
Returning the pressure I kiss him back and open my mouth when I feel his tongue slide across my bottom lip. A battle of dominance occurs and we shift slightly so we're now lying on the bed with my head on one of his pillows and he is lying on top of me. Keeping his left hand near my head to keep his weight off of me his right hand travels to my waist and he pulls me to him slightly, forcing a certain parts of his body to collide with my upper thigh. Feeling the pressure of his groin against my naked leg he jumps back in fight and tumbles off the bottom off the bed. Gasping in surprise at his tumble I swiftly crawl to the bottom of the bed and look down at him.
"Liam?" I ask him when he hasn't opened his eyes and his face is slightly scrunched up.
"Just a second" he hisses out.
"What's wrong?" I ask confused and rake my eyes over his body. My eyes landing on the problem I immediately look back at his face hoping not to get caught looking but hits too late his eyes are already open and he's looking at me with a guilty expression.
"Sorry" I almost cries.
"Why are you says sorry?" I ask confused.
"Because of you know, this" He says and wakes his hand to id groin.
"I honestly don't care. You're a guy. Beside I grew up with Stiles. I've heard plenty of stuff that will make you plush for a year. That and Lydia already gave me the sex talk" I say shrugging.
"Lydia?" He ask sitting up. I guess it passed.
"Mom and Scott tried too when I started high school but I said that Lydia already beat them to it" I get of the bed and hold my hand out to him, grabbing them I pull him up and we stand almost chest to chest.
"Listen, I know we're us and I know that one day we will. I'm just not ready for that. But right now I think all I can give you is the knowledge that..."
"That what G?" He asks when I stop talking.
"I never told you that I love you too, did I?"
"You love me?"his mouth shifting into a wolfish grin.
"Yeah, Yeah I do" I say with a smile matching his.
"I Love you" He whispers moving forward.
"I Love you" I whisper back and kiss him again.
Pulling out of the kiss I let him lead me back to the bed and he lays down first and opens his arms for me to climb in. Doing just that I pull the sheet up over us and settle into his arms that are wrapped around my waist. Reaching up I switch the bedside lamp off and snuggle back against him. After a few minutes I know, his arms jerk and squeeze me even tighter and I hear him let out a slight whimper. His emotions shift from Ecstasy to Terror.
"Liam?" I call confused the only other sounds are our breathing and the sound of the rain hitting the window outside. Liam's heart and breathing speed up and he lets about a small cry. Feeling him shift behind me I start to realise what is happening.
"You're not there! You're not there!" He calls and I immediately shift in his arms to face him. His eyes catch mind and I smash my lips to his, distracting him from his own mind. After a few seconds I pull away and look at him.
"There is nothing there" I say strongly and he nods his head. Looking at him I see the glassy eyes and sigh in defeat.
"What?" He asks.
"I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you"
"Wow, I- I didn't know you could sing" Liam stutters out.
"Not a lot of people do or not a lot have heard me. Mom, Scott, Derek, Stiles, Lydia, Allison and Coach are the only ones that have heard me sing"
"And now me"
"And now you" I agree.
"Can you continue?"
"That every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yes it did
And now I'm rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you"
I finish softly as I watch his eyes droop and he falls to sleep. Settling from my singing, I now lie with my head on his shoulder and both his arms around my waist. My eyelids eventually start to get heavy and I fall asleep to the calm beat of Liam's heart.
The next morning
I wake up to someone shaking me. Assuming it's my annoying as hell brother I swat at the hand on my shoulder. "Screw off Scotty, I'm sleeping" I mumble turning over into the hard mattress of my bed. Hard Mattress? Nope, not a mattress. Defiantly not one when it starts moving and laughing.
"I am most certainly not your brother and I will not 'screw off' due to the fact that we are in my house and you have to get up, we have school"
"Can't we ditch?" I ask opening my eyes and looking at him, we're still in the same position as last night.
"No, I don't want you to miss school and I don't want Scott and Stiles coming here and breaking down my front door, to see what I've done with you" He says laughing but we both know that, that is exactly what they would do.
"Okay, getting up" I say and pull myself from his arms, sitting up. I hear a clang downstairs and using my supernatural hearing I listen to the humming of a woman in the kitchen moving things around. Eyes widening in realisation I turn to Liam "Ummm... Your mom doesn't happen to be awake. Right?"
"Yeah" Liam replies sitting up and looking at me guiltily "Dad too"
"Oh God" I say and jump off of the bed
"What? What's wrong?" He asks getting up too and I look at him with wide panicked eyes
"What's wrong? I'm going to have to crawl out of your window" hiss quietly
"Grace, you don't have to crawl out of my window. My mom already knows you're here" Liam explains and I freeze.
"She knows I'm here?"
"She came in to wake Liam up this morning and found you in his bed as well" a deep voice says from behind me and I spin around to see Liam's Stepdad in the doorway.
"Hey Dr. Geyer" I say waving slightly then wrapping my arms around my waist.
"Hey Dad, Is there something you need?" Liam asks walking up behind me and putting a arm around my waist.
"No, but your mom wants you dressed and down to breakfast. You too miss McCall" he nods to me
"Sure" I reply shrinking back into Liam's embrace.
"Oh and there is a spare toothbrush in the cabinet you can use while you're here" He says and
"Thanks... dad" Liam says slightly annoyed at my embarrassment.
"Hey I'm just looking out for the young girls health" He says and walk away.
"That just happened" I say awkwardly looking around.
"I think that was my dad's way for saying you now have a toothbrush here" He say removing his arms from my waist.
"Right well we should get ready for school" I say and turn to my bag that is not there, because it is at home. That Scott is bringing. "Uh Liam? Do you have a fresh shirt I can borrow?" I ask and he pulls out two shirts from the draw he was searching through.
"Here" he says walking over and handing me a grey and black baseball shirt with ¾ length sleeves.
"Thanks" I say with a smile and walk over to my pile of clothes next the door and grab by jeans. Walking back over to the bed, I place them down and pull he plain black t-shirt off.
"Uh Grace?" Liam asks as I throw the shirt in the hamper to wash
"Yeah?" I ask turning around and notice his eyes aren't anyway looking at my face they are staring at my chest and travelling down my thighs.
"Umm... I umm" Liam says at a loss for words.
"For God sakes Liam" I say
"I'm sorry but there is an extremely beautiful girl practically naked in my bedroom and I don't know what to do" He almost screams out.
"Get dressed. I don't want your mom coming up here and seeing her son and his girlfriend with no clothes on" I say whilst putting my jeans on.
"Girlfriend?" Liam asks and I freeze.
"Uhh... well you know with everything and then last night I just assumed..."
"Girlfriend?"Liam asks again this time whilst buttoning his jeans and walking over to me. Both of us shirtless but me in buttoned jeans and a bra. Putting his hand on my waist he brings them round to my front and closes the button on my pants for me. "I like that you're my girlfriend now" He whispers huskily to me and kisses my cheek.
"Liam?" A female voice calls out from down stairs.
"Be down in a minute" My boyfriend calls out and moves back from me. He leans down to the bed and picks up the shirt he is lending me and hands it to me. "Hurry before she comes up here"
Nodding I slip the shirt of over my head and he does the same with his and he leaves the room. I move to the door and slip my socks and shoes on then get back up, bringing the book with me. "Here" Liam says walking back in with a pink toothbrush, handing it to me.
"Pink?" I question
"Go!" He laughs taking the book and pushes me out the door. Walking to the bathroom I go over to the sink and begin to brush my teeth. After a few minutes Liam calls from the other side of the closed door. "Grace? You almost done?" He ask and I rinse my brush and place it next to a lonely blue one. Walking to the door. I open it to Liam's smiling face. "Here" He says and hands me a hair brush. Smiling thankfully at him I take it and brush through my hair several time. "Beautiful" He says and kisses me. Taking the brush back he places it on a shelf in his room and leads me downstairs, holding my hand.
Heading into the kitchen the smell for freshly made pancakes waft through the air. Liam pushes open the door and pulls me inside where a Dr. Geyer and a brunette woman are sitting at one side of the table.
"Liam, Grace! So glad you two could finally join us" Liam's Mother says getting up and walks over to us. She stops in front of us and pulls my in a hug, forcing me to drop Liam's hand and return the gesture. When she pulls away I immediately latch my hand back onto Liam's.
Look over at Dr. Geyer he smiles at me and I smile back at him shyly, my eyes shifting to the woman how has retaken her seat beside him "Have a seat" He says gesturing to the two seats in front of him and his wife.
Liam allows me to sit first, directly across from Liam's mother, with my boyfriend on my right, across from his stepfather. Once seated my leg begins to bounce uncontrollably, Liam seeing the action rests his hand on my thigh, leaving it there, an action that doesn't go unnoticed by his parents.
Smiling at me, Mrs Geyer says "There is no need to be nervous Grace. From all that I've heard from my son, you're more or less described as the most beautiful person in the world"
"Mom" Liam groans in embarrassment.
"What? Sweetie you were not far off, you are very gorgeous" she compliments.
"Thank you" I say shyly trying to hide my laugh from an embarrassed Liam.
"Eat up kids" Dr. Geyer says pointing to the stack of pancakes each in front of us. Digging in we all sit in silence. Uncomfortably.
"So Grace, Liam tells me your brother is captain if the Lacrosse team"
"Umm. Yeah"
"You must be very proud of him. I mean lacrosse is the number one sport in beacon"
"I've always been proud of my brother. He's the best person I know"
"So, do you play a sport? Does it run in the family?"
"I sometimes play Lacrosse with my brother and his best friends. I help them practice" I say and notice she is staring at me.
"I'm sorry, you are just incredibly beautiful, is your whole family as good looking as you?"
"Umm, I guess so. I mean I look like my mom"
"Melissa right? She works at the hospital as a nurse?"
"Mom" Liam interrupts.
"It's okay" I say turning to him then back to his mother. "Actually my mother's name was Claire, I'm adopted. My mom, Melissa was best friends with my birth parents"
"Oh, I'm sorry. Liam never mentioned that" she apologised, sending a glare to her son who shrinks back.
"I was only 5 at the time and I don't really remember them buy from what my mom has told me I'm a lot like them both, especially my mom" I say and Liam lets out a chuckle, confusing the two.
"The Hidden life of Wolves?" Dr. Geyer asks looking to the book next to Liam; I hadn't noticed he still had with him.
"That's mine" I say and Liam hands it over to me.
"You like wolves?" Mrs Geyer asks me.
"Actually I love them" I reply with a smile and Liam's hand squeezes me thigh. Finishing breakfast, get a life off his mother to school, due to the fact that we had missed the bus and were going to be late.
Getting out of the car, and waiting for his mom to be out of sight. He then turns to me with a cheeky smile.
"I think they liked you"
"Oh God did I just meet your parents?"
"Yes I believe so" He says with a smirk.
"Grace!" Scott's voice yells from behind me and I spin to find him standing there with my back pack in his hands.
"Thanks" I say running up to him with Liam trailing behind.
"How was last night?" He asks looking at Liam with a slight glare.
"It was fine Scott, nothing happened" I Liam taking the bag and search through it and he looks at me hearing my heart skip.
"Don't lie to me Gracie"
"We backed off" I said honestly and he nods in acceptance.
"Get to class guys" Grabbing Liam I drag him inside and to our lockers.
Time skip
The first few lessons fly by and I haven't seen Liam in over an hour. Separating from Mason as we walk out of chemistry I make my way to my locker shove my books inside. A throat clearing beside me pulls me catches my attention and I turn to see Scott and Stiles watching me.
"What?" I ask agitated.
"Hey, Hi... uh. How are you?" Stiles says giving me a wave and a awkward smile.
"What is it now?"
"You're staying at Stiles' tonight" My brother says not even giving me an option.
"Why?"
"Mom's got work and Kira and I have a date. I don't want you at home by yourself"
"This is because I stayed at Liam's last night isn't it?"
"No" Scott says the same time as Stiles says "Yes"
"Yes, yes it is, I don't trust the little shit" Stiles says
"I was fine last night" I remind them, tilting my head to the side and putting my hand on my hip.
"Oh yeah? What did you two do?"
"Uh..." I say but freeze "So you driving me home to pick up my stuff? I'll need a change of clothes for tomorrow"
"Uh huh" Stiles says slightly glaring at me. "Oh look there's Malia" I say pointing to the Were-Coyote across the hall way. "Go to her" I tell stiles and he immediately runs off.
Turning back to my brother, I raise a eyebrow at his questioning look.
"What now?" I whine.
"What did happen last night Gracie?"
"Scott-"
"Please, just tell me you two didn't... You know... have-"
"Sex?" I ask loudly causing a few people to look over at us. "No Scott, we didn't" I tell him, putting him at ease. "But we could have" I say smirking and shut my locker before walking away, leaving him frozen in shock.
"Hold up, hold up, hold up. Grace?" he chases after me and grabs my arm spinning me around.
"yes?"
"Look it's not that, It's just I don't think that you two should rush into anything."
"Like you did?"
"I-"
"I'm not you Scott and Liam isn't Allison. Beside shouldn't you be happy? I mean, I am with me being your Beta's mate and all?"
"Gracie-"
"Were you even going to tell us?"
"How did you...?" He asks me but I cut him of throwing the 'The Hidden life of wolves' at his chest.
"I may be young Scotty, but I'm not stupid. I've been piecing together what people have said, and doing my own research for days"
"Does Liam know?"
"I think that's something you should tell him. You are the Alpha" I say and begin to walk away but a pang in my chest causes me to collapse in pain.
"Grace?" Scott says rushing to me. "Gracie?"
"Liam!" I gasp out. "something's wrong" I say looking at him.
"Grace your eyes, stop it" no knowing my eyes are glowing I shift my gaze to the floor. My brothers hand wraps around my bicep and he drags me off to somewhere. He pushes through a door and I drop to the carpeted floor. Looking up I see Scott life a bar off of Liam's chest, who is trapped on the bench press.
Once the bar is off him, Liam sits up gasping and coughing and drops to the floor.
"Liam?" Mason asks and I now register he is in the room. The ache in my chest, disappeared and I crawl over to Liam and wrap my arms around him.
"I'm fine" Liam says to his best friend, barely acknowledging him.
"If you don't want to be with us, that's okay. But don't push your friends away too" Scott whispers to his beta and Liam looks up at him and sends a glance to me. Looking back at Scott I watch as his gaze shifts to something over my brother's shoulder, following his gaze I see that he is looking at a mirror. But not at himself, his gaze is off, further up than a man. Realisation sets in as I feel the slight presence of terror was over him and I grab his face making him look at me.
"There is nothing there" I whisper too quietly for Mason to here, but obviously Scott does as he shots me a confused look. Liam nods his head in acceptance and I help him off the floor, and allow him and Mason to go and get changed before we head to out next class that we have together.

Stiles sits at his computer desk, writing. As Malia lies on his bed and I sit on the floor in front of her with my back leaning against the bed. We are all in our own little world until the sheriff knocks on the door frame, gaining our attention.
"Stop what you're doing, I'm taking you all out to dinner. Whatever you want?" He says walking into the room.
"Dad I don't think a man of your debt should be treating anyone, to anything" Stiles tells his father.
"Well there is one debt we no longer have to worry about" The sheriff replies pulling out a piece of paper from his back pocket. Closing my history book, I push it to the side and watch the father and son.
"What is that?" Stiles asks and takes the sheet off of his father.
"Papa S?" I ask drawing his attention to me and holding my hands out for him to help me up.
"Letter of apology from Eichen house. Apparently they've decided to forgive our debt due to, uh... well, you and Lydia almost getting murdered" he says grabbing my hands and lifting me to my feet.
"They can do that?" Malia pipes up.
"They can do it, and they did it" He says smiling at her.
"I have never been happy to have almost been murdered" Stiles says waving his hands around.
"Hold on, you were almost killed. Yet I was set on fire and shot. How come I don't get anything"
"Because we can't tell anyone how you survived being a barbeque or target practice" Stiles says in his 'Stiles' way.
Rolling my eyes I smile to the sheriff "I'm very happy for you guys"
"Well look we're not out of it yet but, we're going to be okay. And at least for the moment I can afford to talk out my son, his girlfriend and our little squatter" He says smiling jokingly at me "Out to dinner" Stiles slams his noted pad closed and gets out of the chair with a big smile on his face.
"Malia?" Papa Stilinski asks drawing her attention from packing up her stuff. "What's your favourite food?"
"Deer" Malia asks slightly dazed at the thought of the creature.
I hold in a laugh as the sheriff looks stunned and Stiles looks happy but looks at his father's face and corrects Malia into a more civilised option of Pizza.
"She likes Pizza" Stiles informs his father. And Malia gives them a bright smile.
"Your 'squatter' likes Pizza too" I say raising my hand at they all look to me. Sheriff and Malia smiling and Stiles with at thankful nod because I drew the attention from his slightly still wild girlfriend.
The next day
Confused about my brothers whereabouts, I follow Liam and Stiles into the boys locker room.
"Everything's, fine I got a text from him this morning. He's said he might be a little late" Stiles informs Liam.
"How late is late? Is he always late? We're playing Devenford prep again and this time it's an actually game. He shouldn't be late" Liam rants to Stiles, Catching the coaches attention.
"Who shouldn't be late?" Coach asks Liam and the boys turn to him.
"Scott and Kira" Liam answers reluctantly.
"They might be slightly late" Stiles in puts.
"W—w-w-w- Slightly late? Is still late. What are they doing?" Coach ask and none of us answer.
"They're, They're doing something that's going to make them slightly late" Stiles say scratching behind his ear and I grab onto Liam's hand to keep myself from falling down in silent laughter.
"What could Scott and Kira be doing right now! That's more important than playing in the first game" Coach asks us and I look around to see everyone else's gathered around watching us. Stiles Looks at Liam and I and I nudge him in the back to answer the Coach.
"Oh Coach"
"What? Biscuit! Shed some light on this Please" Coach says to me and Liam and Stiles move apart so everyone can see me more clearly.
"Me? Uh... Scott and Kira? They're um..."
"Yes?" Coach says, his head slightly bobbing as he folds his arms over his chest with a smile on his face.
"They are um..." I say looking around and find my escape "Oh god I just realised, this is the boys locker room and you guys have a big game, Chop, chop, come on boys it's almost game time!" I say with a laughing smile and kiss Liam on the lips before rushing off out of the door.
Walking out to the bleaches I find Mason sitting with Sydney. "Hey!" I say running up to them"
"Hey Grace" Sydney says smiling to me. Looking down I see the sign that she's holding 'GO LIAM!'
"Should I be worried?" I ask gesturing to the sheet in her hands.
"Oh, no I..." she stutters.
"I'm kidding" I say smiling to her and sit down on the other side of her so she is in between Mason and I " Although I'm a little guilty for not making one myself"
"Are you not cold?" She asks me and mason looks over to us.
"Grace here apparently doesn't get cold" Mason informs her and she looks at me confused.
"Here" I say and take her covered arm, pushing up the sleeve of her jacket I place my hand on her forearm and generate and small dosage of heat. Not hot enough to hurt but warmer than the average warmth of the human body.
"Wow! Must be nice never getting cold" Removing my hand she says, smiling to me.
"It comes in handy sometimes" I says smiling back and turn to the field as the whistle blows.
The game starts and so does Stiles awkwardness x100. He's falling all over the field, more than usually. As the game progresses; I sit watching as stiles stands there as Three Devenford prep guys run to him and one ploughs him down. Everyone gasps around me and I just roll my eyes at Stiles' way of being well, Stiles. Liam jogs up to the fallen man/child and kneels down beside him. Being the nosy girl I am, I listen in.
"Yeah I'm gonna call Scott again" Where the hell is my brother? I ask myself and Pull my phone out of my bag. Scrolling through the texts I sent him, I begin to worry more and more.
Pressing the call button, I put the phone to my ear.
"Hey this is Scott! Sorry I missed you. Leave a message and I'll get back to you" Hanging up the phone I look back at Stiles and Liam who are now watching me and shake my head.
"Keep trying" Stiles says knowing I'm listening. Scrawling through my phone I pull up Kira's name and press the call button.
"Hey this is Kira, So sorry I –" sighing I hanging up and stick my phone in my bag as the referee blows the whistle for a break. Getting off the bench I turn to Mason and Sydney.
"I'll be back soon" I inform the two and leave without giving them time to answer me.
Walking down the benches I sit down next to Stiles as Liam comes up and sits on my other side.
"Neither of them are answering?" Stiles asks me and I shake my head to him. "I gotta go see what's going on"
"You're leaving what are you going to tell coach?"
We look at Coach and watch as he throws his clipboard to the ground and shouts "Stupid! Stupid old..."
"Uh, you don't tell him anything okay? Liam you're going to be okay, alright?" Stiles tells the beta and pats him on the back a whistle blows and Stiles runs off.
"Hey, you got this!" I attempt to encourage him.
"I got this" He repeats but he doesn't sound to positive and walks off to the field.
"Biscuit! Where the hell is your brother and Yukimura?" Coach says walking up to me as I watch Liam stop in front of me not paying attention to anything.
"I wish I knew Cupcake" I answer him with a small smile which he returns but then his face turns stone cold again as he realises some people are watching him being soft "Well find him!" Walks away from me he turns to Liam. "LIAM!" Coach shout making my boyfriend wince "Get on the field!"
Walking back to the Bleachers I retake my spot next to Sydney.
"How do you do it?" Mason ask looking over Sydney to me.
"Do what?"
"Coach, How do you get along with him so well when he's mean to everyone else?"
"That, I have no idea. We just sort of understand each other"
"You are so weird" Mason says and turns back to the game.
More time passes with Devenford scoring again. I watch as Liam runs forward and stops as three plays from his old team, run to him. Seeing his shoulders slacken and his grip on his Lacrosse stick loosens. Once again the feeling of fear washes over me and I know what is happening to Liam.
"LIAM! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, MOVE!" Coach shouts and the Devenford prep guys run past him and score. , yet again.
More time passes and Liam now has the ball, dodging opposing players with the fear still rolling off of him. Devenford player 28, Brett Talbot runs up to Liam and knocks him to the ground and Liam loses the ball. Lying on the ground, Liam takes of his helmet and I listen to them talk.
"What the hell did you do that for?" Liam asks glaring up at Brett.
Brett takes of his helmet and says "Cause you're afraid, I can smell it from across the field. Are you hurt?"
"No!"
"Are you still alive?"
"Obviously" Liam says agitated.
"Then get up!" Doing as he is told, Liam gets to his feet and the referee runs over to the two wolves.
"You good to play?" Liam nods to him and he turns to Brett "You planning on pulling something like that again?"
"Only if I have to" Brett says and I see a smirk appear on his face, before he runs off he turns in my direction and Liam follows his gaze to me. Brett gives me a curt nod and I nod back in thanks.
Liam glares at him and looks to me, his eyes immediately soften. Giving him a small smile he returns it and turns back to the game. Looking around I notice Peter sitting with Malia. As if sensing my gaze he looks up at me and wiggles his fingers with a smile on his face. Smirking I lift my hand up and flip him off which only makes him laugh a little.
The game finishes and I wait a while before heading into the boy's locker room. "Cover up boys, I'm back!" I shout covering my eyes, just in case.
"Grace?" Liam's voice echoes through the room.
"Yeah!" I beam with little skip and walk over to where his voice originated from.
Turning the corner I find him sitting on a bench and Brett leaning against the lockers. "Brett! How's Lori?" I ask the tall blond.
"She's good" He says with a nod and turns back to Liam.
"Why did you do that? Why did you help me?" Liam asks as I sit beside him.
"Because of her" Brett says and motions to me "And Scott. Grace saved Lori and Scott saved me, they saved all of us. Do you know how lucky you are?"
"What do you mean?"
"Scott's a true Alpha. That means he didn't get his powers because he was born with it, he didn't get it by stealing it or by killing someone. He earned it. And Grace here, she's the purest supernatural creature you can find; she understands what's right and what's wrong more than all of us. When you get lost, look to her for guidance. You're not strong because you can lift a lot of weight now. You're strong because you endure. Satomi calls it strength of character, you're lucky to have them" When he finishes he pushes off the lockers and walks out of the room.
Liam looks over to me and asks "Then why isn't he here?" Sighing I lie my head on his shoulder and close my eyes, wondering that myself.
My eyes snap open when my phone vibrates in my bag, thinking it's my brother I whip it out and sigh when I see it's from Stiles. Opening the message, my eyes widen at the words.
Scott and Kira are in Mexico. Kate.
