Taking responsibility: A Thiam story

Take Me In...

Theo's POV

"Right guys lets get this started." The voice of Scott McCall, true alpha and alpha of the beacon hills pack. Which has a variety of members such as werewolves, were coyotes, a banshee, a kanima, a chimara and even a human. Also a hunter... a little unconventional for a werewolf pack but boy does it work. And now I'm hoping to add another chimara to the pack.

"So you all know why we are here. Theo wishes to join the pack... and I can't make these decisions by myself as it's not just me it affects. So Theo if you wanna make your case then now's the time." Right okay lets do this. I stand from my spot on the couch to address the pack.

"Okay so I know that none of you like me very much... or well at all. But hear me out. I'm not trying to take over anymore. I'm past that. It was stupid of me to think I could replace Scott. But I tried it out on my own and trust me it's not fun. I have no one... no one else, nowhere to go. So please... trust me it's not like me to beg, but... here I am, begging you to take me in."

"And why would we do that? You expect us to just accept you into our pack... You tried to kill me!" Malia shouts as she lunges towards me, when to my surprise in steps Liam blocking me from Malia's path.

"No, Malia wait a second okay. Scott do you mind if I say something? It's in Theo's favor but it's relevent." The determination in his voice surprises me. Scott looks hesitant at first but gives in with a nod.

"Thanks. Okay so I get that ye aren't exactly Theo's biggest fans and normally I wouldn't be either like heck there were days where I wanted to kill him, I mean he's a douche bag."

"Hey" I cut in

"I thought you were supposed to be helping me here."

"Okay, Theo, Shush! You're not helping yourself right now. So yeah, case in point... I get where all of you are coming from but he did help us. And I can't tell you how many times he's saved me over the last while. And I just think we should give him a chance to prove himself."

Liam's words surprised me and by the looks of it they didn't just surprise me. Once we all get over the shock Scott starts speaking while slowly nodding his head

"Okay Liam... You make some good points and you know I'm all about second chances. Just so long as you know by vouching for him he becomes your responsibility. He stays with you and you have to keep him out of trouble." Scott says in a calm level headed tone of voice keeping his eye on Liam the whole time.

My heart starts racing. This is it, Liam's not gonna accept that... I'm doomed... I start an internal panic... I'm dead they are gon...

"Okay. Theo stays with me. I'm the one speaking out for him then I take responsibility for him. Like I said he saved my life... I think I gotta try do this for him."

And my heart skips a beat. I'm In total and utter shock and awe. I saved Liam cause I couldn't stand to see him hurt but now... Now is the first time I realized why. I have a massive crush on Liam Dunbar. And the heartbreaking thing about it is... He's straight and so hung up on Hayden that he's never gonna see me that way.

I am about to embark on the hardest adventure of my life.
