Part 15

Malia recovered within the next twenty-four hours.

Liam never left Theo's side, and deadly black veins often crawled their way up the young beta's arm without even trying.

Liam could only imagine what Theo was going through. They had never had a chance to talk about what happened to him when Liam put the chimera under the ground. There was no doubt that it scarred Theo. Liam could only pray that he wasn't going through the same thing again.

The pack visited once in the first day. Malia wasn't there, of course she wasn't. Stubborn bitch, Liam thought as he saw the pack walk through the door. He gave them all a small smile and turned his attention back to the chimera laying in front of him, and Liam carefully ran his hands though Theo's hair.

The pack took their positions around the edge of the room, much to Liam's dismay. All he really needed was Derek and Lydia, because they cared. But Liam didn't have the heart to tell anyone else to leave him alone when all they were trying to do was offer their support.

Derek and Lydia stood closest to Liam, Stiles hanging off of the broody alpha's arm. Neither of the older members of their friendship group had left the clinic, they could tell that Liam needed them there, even if he acted like he didn't.

The pack knew that they were being harsh on Theo, and Scott couldn't help but think that this was all his fault.

The current people around the room were: Derek and Stiles; Liam and Theo; Mason and Corey; Lydia and Allison & Isaac and Scott. Malia and Kira didn't come, seeing as though Malia was a spiteful wolf and Kira was dating her.

He was thankful that no one left him alone. Liam was afraid that his monster would go out of control and do something to hurt the people he loves. He couldn't afford to let that happen.

Small conversations around the room were made, not that Liam joined in with any. Neither Mason nor Corey even attempted to speak to Liam, and they were supposed to be his closest friends. Fuck you. The pack finally left and only Lydia, him, Derek and Deaton remained. Again.

"Theo was having visions." Deaton finally spoke up, after giving Liam time to process the state of the comatose lover that was currently about as dead as a doornail. All three of the pack members looked up to him, surprised.

"I don't know about what, exactly, but I imagine it had something to do with his sister, Tara. Hopefully Theo will tell you if he wakes up, Liam." Deaton finished, before walking out of the room and giving a slight nod of his head to Derek.

Deaton had said the word so casually that it made Liam's heart ache even more. If. It was as though no one had hope in Theo anymore, but the blue-eyed beta did.

His two closest friends hugged him from each side as he held onto Theo's hand, black veins reappearing again. Liam only looked straight ahead, willing for the chimera to wake up.

If.
