Teen Beasts 🐾 S.S.

Codominance

Liam was surprised when Scott sent him a text late at night saying he needed to see him. As he saw it, he didn't spare a moment before he headed off for his house. Liam found himself becoming a bumble of nerves and his hand began shaking on the steering wheel as he turned and started down on Scott's street. This would be the first time that the two of them had talked to each other since the Supermoon. Since he and Scott had seen each other in the library, as he tried to hill him. Kill his alpha. His friend. What was he going to say? The answer eluded him right to the moment that his hand reached the front door and knocked.

"Come in!" he heard Scott call out from inside.

Taking a deep breath, Liam bit the bullet and opened the door, pushing his way inside. He heard shuffling and saw that it was coming from the kitchen. Scott was there, putting a few random looking things into a bookbag.

When Scott looked up and faced him, Liam let out the large breath he didn't realize he had been holding. "Hayden and the others are alive!" he cried out. "Well, not all of them, but some of them."

Hearing it loud, Liam quickly wanted to hit himself. All the things he could've said at that moment, that was it?

Scott just nodded his head. "Yeah, I knew that already," he said as he went on to resume what he was doing before Liam came in.

"It was Theo. He's the one that brought them back and now, they're with him now. It's like they're his pack."

"Yeah, I know. He's already tried to use them."

"All of them?"

"Well just the ones he had with him. Tracy, Josh and Corey."

"And Hayden," Liam added tensely as he caught Scott square in the eye as he widened them.

"She's alive?"

"She's alive," he added a little happily and relieved. But then his tone fell a bit. "I'm not sure she's totally okay but she is definitely alive."

"That's good. I guess Theo just decided not to bring her along when he met up with me and Stiles."

"Wait, you and Stiles?"

"Yeah," Scott sighed as he headed for the fridge. "After the tech was killed, we went over to station building to investigate and we found a path into the irrigation tunnels. That's where we ran into them. They tried attack us but we were able to fight them off."

"Corey went and attacked you? I can't believe it."

Liam couldn't believe that Corey would go and do something like this. Mason's crush was meek and shy but if he went and did something like this after coming back, what would that mean for Hayden?

"No, Corey...he was there but he didn't actually do anything. He seemed too scared to, but he's still following after Theo with the others. He's calling them his new pack."

"What? Stiles didn't tell me that."

That made Scott freeze and turn to look back to him. "You saw him?" he asked quickly.

"Yeah," Liam nodded. "The other night. Why, what's wrong?"

"Stiles, I haven't seen him since then. I've been looking for him everywhere. He hasn't been at home and seems to duck out of the hospital or avoid it when I'm there. I tried to track him down but I can't even catch his scent."

"Because he knows how to hide it. Satomi showed him how."

"Yeah, I know," Scott breathed out heavily. "Where did you see him?"

"Uh, I was in the woods, over at this spot Stiles brought me to a few times, just thinking and he found me there."

"The creek?" Scott put in. Stiles had told him about finding that spot last summer but Scott had never gone around to actually check it out for himself what with everything that always seems to go on. At Liam's nod, he started talking again. "Well, did he say what he's been doing or where he's been staying?"
