He woke up screaming as everyone stared at him. His eyes were glowing yellow.
Scott quickly looked back at him, "Liam, the sun, the moon, the truth." He flashed his alpha eyes, calming down the beta.
"Sorry," Liam tried to hide his tears. He didn't want to show Alec his weakness, but it was too late. The werewolf looked concerned already.
"Nightmare?" Argent looked at him through the rearview mirror.
Liam nodded.
"Everyone has them, Liam," the man assured him, "you've been through a lot."
"I guess," Liam shrugged, pulling out his phone, seeing a text from Theo, "how far are we from Beacon Hills?" Liam noticed it was slowly turning light.
"A half-hour," Argent told him.
He texted Theo back telling him they were almost back and to his surprise, the chimera answered right away. He looked at the clock it was five AM; he was confused about why Theo would be up this early.
"Can I come over?" Liam texted him back.
"Sure, I'm up."
Liam looked up at Argent, "can you drop me off at that gym on the outskirts of town?"
"Sure, you aren't thinking about working out this early are you?"
"No," Liam shook his head, "I just need to see someone."
Theo had woken up dripping in sweat; he felt tears in his eyes. He was crying; he probably screamed too. In his nightmare, Tara ripped out her heart again, but that wasn't all. She ripped out Liam's too; that hurt more. He was relieved when Liam texted him a few minutes after he woke up. He wanted to see him, when Liam asked if he could come over he jumped at the opportunity. He stood up to get a shower and make coffee; he knew Liam would want it. He bought a small coffee maker the other day; it was perfect for him.
Argent pulled into the parking lot of the gym a little bit later, seeing the familiar blue truck of the chimera. Theo walked out figuring; he should tell Scott good luck at school out of anyone in the pack he forgave him the most, even though he should be the one with the largest grudge. He killed him, but Scott was way too forgiving.
"Hey, Theo," Scott got out of the vehicle.
"Hey, I hear you're heading off to school today," Theo looked at the alpha.
"Yepp as soon as Stilinski brings back the jeep, Natalie and he went out to meet Lydia and Stiles halfway to switch cars," Scott answered as if Theo was one of his closest friends.
"Good luck," Theo smiled as Liam crawled out, bookbag hung off his shoulder as if he was about ready to collapse in the parking lot.
"Thanks, Theo. Take care of him for me," Scott wrapped one arm around his beta.
"I think I can handle that," Theo smirked, grabbing Liam's bag.
Argent and Alec got out.
"Theo, this is Alec," Argent spoke.
"New werewolf?" Theo asked.
"Yepp," Alec smiled, "who are you?"
"I'm a chimera, half-werewolf, half-werecoyote," Theo answered.
"He helps the pack," Scott smiled looking at him, "he's a great ally."
Theo smirked, "thanks."
"When we are in Beacon Hills, he'll be around with Liam," Argent told Alec, "Alec's going to be traveling with me, chasing down hunters, but he'll be living with Melissa and me."
