LIAM IS HELD up against the wall by the other two males under the locker showers. The Beta growls and groans, desperately trying to escape their grasp. They pull him out after a minute or two.

"Are you calm yet?" Stiles asks and in response to yet another thrash and growl, he shares a look with Scott and shoves him back under.

"Scott, it's not working!" He calls, using all the strength he can muster to hold Liam down.

After thinking for a moment, Scott speaks, "Kei. Here. Now."

I'm confused, but walk over anyways. Stiles seems to understand, rolling his eyes at the thought he's having.

"Do something." Scott mumbles and my eyes widen slightly, how am I supposed to help?

They widen further as Liam grows more aggressive. I shake my head, needing to act now.

"Lower him." I order and they nod, letting Liam sit on the floor. Once they let go, I crouch down in front of him. I don't care if I'm soaked through right now, my priority being the Beta.

"Hey, Liam?" I speak, tone soft, like it always is when I'm with him. I can see his head move but he stops himself, not wanting me to see him wolfed out.

I sigh, respecting his wish on that for now and just grab his hands instead. "As much as I like wolf Liam, I need human Liam to come back right now. Can you do that for me?" I request, gentle as I rub my thumbs over the backs of his hands in a soothing touch.

A proud smile forms when I look down at his hands and see his claws retracting.

"That's good, you can do it. You're doing well, Li." I encourage, he's almost there.

He pants softly, energy drained from the effort it took. Liam slowly raises his head to look me in the eye. I offer him an even bigger smile, "You did so good. Thank you." I praised and his lips began to tug upwards.

Our moment is ruined with an interrogation from dumb cop and idiotic cop.

"I thought you said you trashed your teacher's car?" Scott questioned.

"He's my coach. Benched me for the entire season." Liam responded and my brows furrowed.

"What did you do?" I asked softly.

The Beta kept staring at me, "I got a couple red cards."

"Just a couple?" Stiles repeated, obviously not believing it.

"You gotta be honest with us. What else happened?" Scott asked, crouching beside me.

"Nothing." Liam denied quickly, looking away.

"Liam." I murmur and he turns back to me, watching me for a moment before he sighs.

"I got kicked out of school. Sent me to a psychologist for an evaluation." He explained and I kept my hands on his, it being my only idea to comfort him.

"What did they call it?" My brother asked.

"Intermittent explosive disorder."

"I.E.D? You're literally an I.E.D? That's great. Great, you gave superpowers to a ticking time bomb." I look up at Stiles with a glare, "Shut up."

"Did they give you anything for it?" Scott asked.

"Risperdal. It's an anti-psychotic." He answered honestly.

"Oh, this just gets better." My brother added and I get annoyed by his rude comments.

"I don't take it."

"Yeah, obviously."

I sigh, gesturing Stiles closer since I didn't want to remove myself from Liam. My brother obliged and I simply punched his thigh, hard. He stumbled back with a yelp and I smiled in satisfaction. Good.
