Scott sat in liam's living room feeling just slightly uncomfortable. Currently he was sitting with his beta and his parents. Liam had come to scott saying he wanted to tell his parents about everything, he didn't want to lie to them anymore. Scott agreed and went with him for support.

Scott was currently switching between liam's parents and the boy himself, who looked worried and afraid, because he had just come clean to his parents. His parents who had been silent from the start. "let me get this straight" Dr geyer said startling them both "you're a werewolf" he pointed to liam who nodded "and you bit him?" he pointed to scott who nodded "is there a cure?" he asked "no. I tried to find a cure ever since I was bit, the only thing I found was that if you killed the one who bit you could change you back. But it was just a lie"

Silence filled the room again before it was his mother that spoke this time "show me" liam looked at his mom " I don't.." she cut him off "show me" she demanded, shocking both boys, liam even flinching. Scott frowned, he could feel his wolf growling to protect his beta. Liam looked from his mother to scott, who gave a small nod and a smile "it will be ok" he whispered, one hand squeezing the boys shoulder.

The moment liam shifted everything went to hell. His mother screamed and liam changed back "mom, mom" liam walked toward his mother, to try and calm her down, only to be shoved backward falling to the ground. Eyes landing on his step father "stay away from us" he shouted, eyes filled with anger and fear. "You're a monster" liam felt his heart break, his worse fear was coming true.

His parents to see him as a monster, like his father. Scott smelt the sadness and pain coming from his beta, the heartache filled every inch of his being. Scott could no longer hold the wolf at bay, he let it out.

Liam's eyes went wide as he watched his step father walk toward him, shouting and spitting angry words. Calling him a monster, a freak. That he should be destroyed. He couldn't understand how everything came to this.

One minute they were talking as if it was fine and now, now he was watching his world fall apart. Just before his step father could reach him holding his lacrosse stick, which he hadn't noticed his step dad pick up, scott was in between them, growling at geyer "touch him and it will be the last thing you do" his eyes glowing red.

Scott watched as the doc stepped back, anger still on his face. His eyes shifted to liam's mother who was pressed up against a wall in fear and disgust "get out" geyer spoke "get out of my house and never come back" his eyes landed on laim who was still laying on the floor "both of you." liam sucked in a breath "but, but.." geyer cut him off "I said get out. You're a monster, you are no longer our son." He shook his head "I always thought you would turn out to be like your father, guess I was wrong. Your worse" Liam whined and in an instant was up and out the door, running at full speed.

Scott turned from the open door and growled at the pair, the wolf smirking when they flinched in fear "you both disgust me. Calling him a monster. He is nothing like his father" he felt the wolf snap in his chest, liam had told him all about his father "stay away from him. If I find you came near him, and I will know, I will be back" he turned to leave, shifting back to normal "oh and if you tell anyone about this, I'll be back. With the rest of my pack. I can assure you, they all aren't as nice as I am" he turned his head, eyes glowing for effect as he slipped out the door, phone already calling the others to help track down the young pup.

IT wasn't hard to find liam, apparently. It had been scott's own mother who found the boy, curled up on scotts bed, heart wrenching sobs falling from the boy. Scott arrived a few minutes later after getting the call back, stiles and the others arriving a few minutes after him, to find liam curled up in scotts lap, it made him look small. No one said a word, they just moved to give the young pup any comfort they could.

A little while later liam had fallen asleep, tiring himself out from all the pain, scott was momentarily happy that the boy could escape the pain for a time. He left the door opened just enough for him to hear anything, anything that meant the boy needed scott.

The rest of the pack was waiting in the living room, derek and the sheriff having joined them by now "what happened?" stiles was the first to ask, scott gave him a smile. Stiles was like the pack mother of the group, something derek liked to tease the boy about.

He sighed as he took a seat and launched into telling them what happened. By the end he had to physically stop them all from marching over to the dunbar house. Derek, his mother and chris, who he hadn't noticed was there, were the scariest ones.

His mother threatening to do things that involved blunt objects, duck tape and her boss, Dr. Geyer. It made the guys shudder. Derek threatened to give the mother a bite, to see what it felt like to be the monster she proclaimed her son to be. Chris on the other hand was calm as he stated he could easily make them disappear.

Melissa decided liam would stay with them until everything was sorted out, Isaac didn't mind, he knew all too well what it was like having a parent like that. He was happy when melissa took him in, showing him what a family is supposed to be. She even adopted derek after they had sat down and talked.

Scott let out a breath as he shut the door, everyone had gone home for the night, his mother left for work leaving him alone with a sleeping beta, a beta who just had his world destroyed in front of his own eyes.

Very carefully, scott crawled into bed behind his beta, not wanting to wake him. Fifteen minutes passed as he lay silent, mind racing with ways to fix this. Ways to help ease the pain for the young pup. A whimpering, followed by a shaking fierce enough to shake the bed broke scott from his thoughts. HE turned his head toward the other occupant "liam?" he said softly, earning a pained whimper in response "oh pup" scott felt his heart breaking all over again as he gently pulled the boy into his arms, the smaller one turning around to bury his face into scott's chest.

They lay like that for what seemed like forever, scott just rubbing circles into liam's back trying anything to help settle the boy, neither speaking. "why?" liam's voice was rough, some parts failing "why did they do that?" he asked, he couldn't get over the look of disgust in his parents eyes. He could smell the anger, the fear rolling off of them. It made his gut twist "some people, don't know how to handle it right away" scott said softly after a few moments of thinking "my mom was afraid of me when she first found out" liam looked up at his alpha, eyes red and puffy "but, she loves you. she even has Isaac living here. she doesn't seem like she hates you" scott gave him a small sad smile "she was forced to find out. I had to shift in front of her to save her" his mind went back to that night that seemed so long ago.

Softly scott told the boy about how his mother found out. How a friend of his, a pack-mate, was going through a rough patch. How he became a kanima, how he was controlled. How he attacked the police station, killing so many people. How his mother avoided him for almost two weeks before they finally talked about everything. Told him how they finally saved Jackson. By the end of the story liam was drifting into sleep "sleep now pup" scott kissed his forehead "I'll be here. I wont leave you. I will always be there for you, to protect you" he smiled as he pulled the boy in closer "you have an entire pack who will be by your side for better or worse. Your stuck with us now pup. You never have to worry about being alone" Scott drifted to sleep a few minutes after liam.

The next week was rough for the young pup. He had tried to return home the next day, this time with Melissa, The sheriff and deaton behind him and scott. As soon as the door opened they were given the cruelest look liam had ever seen pass of his mothers face. The sheriff was able to convince them to talk with them. The next two hours passed with angry shouting, threats of hurting scott, going to the police. Each threat was met with an angry liam growling at his parents, scott having to hold him back which resulted in more talk about how scott turned their son into a monster, an animal. Something that should be put down. That comment would earn them a Smack from Melissa and a punch from Deaton, the normally peaceful man. When the Dunbars had demanded the sheriff arrest them, he simply told them he hadn't seen anything.

Deaton had tried explaining to them everything, giving them the same speech he had given Melissa and linden once upon a time. Nothing worked. In the end Liam packed a couple bags to stay with scott and Melissa for a while, thinking some time and space would help. The week dragged on slowly for the young boy, everyone doing their best to help keep his spirits up. The twins would help train him. Stiles would try to distract him with movies like star wars, something he still had no clue about, just like his alpha.

The girls would always walk with him between classes, being overly affectionate, something that got the other males in the school jealous. Jackson, along with the help of Danny, would try and keep his mind off of everything with lacross. He had to admit, everything helped, the most being the time he spent with his alpha. Every day after school they would go for a run in the woods, sometimes being joined by some of the others in the pack, but usually it was just them.

By Friday he was in a better mood, even thinking that his parents would come around. His happy high would come crashing down when he returned home, The McCall house, to find Melissa and The sheriff talking over a coffee table, papers between them. They had sat him down, scott quickly joining him leaving just the four seeing as Isaac was out with Allison and the twins had dates. The night Scott held a heart broken liam as he sobbed into his chest, eyes changing between blue and yellow. His parents had drafted up adoption papers, signing Liam over to melissa. Apparently they couldn't get over the fact that their son was a werewolf now. In a letter attached they stated that they wouldn't reveal what they knew, scott had scared them enough. They left liam in her care seeing as she already had werewolves in her custody. They also mentioned that they were moving and changing their names. That weekend would see the pack moving the rest of Liams stuff from his surprisingly empty house into the McCalls.

IT was a tight fit but they had managed to get it to work. Isaac had the spare room between scott and Melissa. The twins had turned the downstairs into a room, which was really just two beds and a closet, seeing as they spent almost all their time with the pack. They did eventually put up a fake wall after to many times of the other occupant's walking in to find one of them sleeping naked on their bed.

It was a rough couple months but Liam had finally moved past the heartache. His parents may have abandoned him but he had his pack, his family.
