There's no need for them to be breathing down his neck, but they are. It irritates Liam beyond anything, but he can only ignore it as best as he can.

He glares at Garret, Deaton's right hand men, when that alpha is staring at him for too long.

"Got a problem?" Liam hisses and recieves a warning glare. But Garrett can't do anything without getting suspended for touching Liam again, whether it's just platonic touch or hitting Liam.

"No" Garret replies curtly.

"Then stop breathing down my neck. I might take a while, so go wait outside at the entrance"

"I don't trust you to leave you alone" Garret says and Liam huffs out a breath in exasperation.

"Place a man at the back door too, if you think i might run away" he replies sarcastically and sees the alpha's hands fist by his sides.

They back away, thankfully and leave Liam alone to do his job. He checks through the pill bottles and their capacity before choosing the ones he buys all the time. He glances at the scent concealer and sighs.

That has never worked on him. The more he tries to conceal his scent, the more intense it gets. So he stopped trying a long time ago.

He wishes it worked though. His life won't be that miserable anymore when he's not lusted after because of his too fucking intense scent. It was the first reason why he was kidnapped when he was so young, the man who took him couldn't spare him when he has got scent that makes every men salivate.

He places back the scent concealer and grabs the another box of pills just in case. He's about to walk off when there's a voice calling his name.

"Liam?" It sounds like the person is shocked and anticipated.

Liam glances over and loses his breath when he meets hauntingly familiar blue eyes. Those eyes, he knows them very well. Its hard to forget them when the only happy memories he has got is associated with them.

"Louis" Liam breathes out, more like blurts out in shock. Its been years since he saw the alpha, and it's hard to believe he's here.

Louis steps closer, staring at Liam like he's a ghost. That alpha has changed, he's got facial hair now and he's gotten a bit muscular. But Liam wants to laugh when Louis is still shorter than him.

"Li is that really you?" Louis is still in shock and Liam gulps at the nickname. He's seconds away from crying at how much he has missed the nickname.

"Yes" Liam whispers, fighting back the urge to embrace Louis. "How have you been?"

Louis gasps, his chest heaving and his eyes glassy with unshed tears threatening to break out. But they are interuppted with footsteps and Liam turns pale when he sees Garret walking over with a suspicious frown.

Liam immediately steps back and realises with a start at how he could have put Louis in danger with his stupidity. What was he thinking?

"You can find it in that aisle"  Liam pretends to point it out to Louis and the alpha keeps staring, confusion filling his features.

Liam flinches when there's a hand wrapped around his waist and tries to break free from the hold. But the hold is too strong and he'll pay later for pushing Garret away. And that would be in secret because Garret will get punished for touching Liam and Liam will get punished for letting him. Its unfair and absolutely ridiculous, but that's how it is.
