Sour Wolf

Chapter 8

[Liam]

Ever since that morning Liam had been avoiding Theo. Whether it was intentional or not he didn't know. He didn't feel safe around him anymore which was weird because he didn't know why he'd felt safe with him in the first place. He still barely knew him yet he was telling him he loved him. Did he really love him?

Liam watched him walk down the hall and stop to talk to Scott. Then he and Malia continued walking and talking and laughing. He felt a surge of anger through him. Why wasn't Theo looking for him? Why was he okay with being avoided?

Liam turned around to Mason standing behind him. He let out a gasp. 

"Mason! Don't scare me like that." He held his chest.

"I saw you watching them." Mason was smirking. "You know she's Stiles' girlfriend right?"

"What are you-" Liam paused remembering that Mason had no idea. "Oh," he laughed, "yeah. I'm just making sure she's okay. You know, with Stiles being gone."

"Mhm," Mason looked up and smiled, "you should totally introduce me to him." 

Liam turned around, "Introduce you to who?" 

Oh.

He was looking at Theo.

"He's hot as hell." Mason was biting his lips and Liam felt sick.

"He's not into that crap." Liam's voice was almost venomous. 

"Calm down, man." Mason looked hurt. "How do you know he's not? It's not like you guys are best friends."

He was right. They weren't close. Well, they were. But nobody else knew that. Scott was coming up to him and Mason was gone. He's mad again.

"Hey Liam," Scott still looked tired, "Malia found this book in Tracy's room. It's called 'Dread Doctors'. I think it could help us."

"What about Stiles?" 

Scott looked pale. "I don't know. As long as he's still alive, that's all that matters. We can find him after we stop these 'Dread Doctors' first. We're going to be at my house tonight to read it. Are you in?"

Liam looked to see if Malia and Theo were still there. They were gone. He looked up at Scott and nodded. 

"Yeah," he sighed, "I'll be there."

[Theo]

Malia got dressed while Theo started his truck up.

This had been happening way more often than he thought it would have. They were sleeping together for almost a week now. 

He missed Liam. He missed his hair, his blue eyes and his faint smell. He missed waking up to him and kissing him. Why was he avoiding him?

Malia crawled up front and kissed Theo.

"That was great." She smiled.

Malia had been acting a lot more racy since she'd woken up from the coma. He knew it was an affect from the mercury Derek's fangs had injected her with. But that didn't justify him taking advantage of her.

Why was he even doing this? He was so sure he was happy with Liam. But, Malia was so warm and comforting. In a way she reminded him of his mother. That sounded sick. He just enjoyed her comfort and for some reason he was desperate to feel it.

He took off to Scott's house. Liam was going to be there, but so was Malia. Malia didn't know about his relationship with Liam and vice versa.

It was a full moon tonight.
