Chapter Text
Stiles was in his room working on how to stop Monroe, learning Archaic Latin and working on the pack's bestiary when he got a call. Looking at his phone he saw Liam's name.
He and Liam got much closer, in fact, the more distant he got with Scott the more he realised that Scott was turning people against him, the students and teachers, the town, the pack... even his dad. Something that he felt was unforgivable.
His trust in Scott had been slowly fading since Scott used Derek to bite Gerard. The horrifying act was something that Stiles would never have believed he was capable of if he had not seen it for himself.
Knowing that Scott was slowly turning people he cared about, people he loved against him hurt. Stiles had always treated Scott with respect, love and care. To know that he betrayed Stiles like that, broke something inside him. Stiles had been willing to die for him, kill for him and live for him... now he looked at Scott and all he saw was a hypocritical asshole.
Stiles considered leaving the pack but he didn't want to lose his family. He knew Derek and Malia would follow him, Peter, too... maybe even Liam but they needed their pack bond, otherwise they would eventually turn feral. Lydia, Mason and Corey would also follow him... he wasn't sure about the rest of the pack but he didn't want to be the reason that they all fell apart.
Answering the phone he was shocked when he heard his pack mate, Liam was obviously crying something that the pup hated anyone seeing. That he called while he was crying caused Stiles to worry.
"Pup, what's wrong!??" Stiles asked, trying to stay calm and collected but inside he was freaking out. It didn't help that Liam started crying more, sniffles turning into loud sobs.
"Where are you?!?" Stiles demanded when Liam only continued to cry. Stiles was freaking out because of the lack of answers. Was he hurt? He couldn't be kidnapped because he was talking on the phone, or well crying. Was he healing? Was it even physical?
"H—home" Liam stuttered out. Stiles almost sighed in relief when he answered. Getting up he grabbed his keys before running down the stairs and out the door.
Driving to Liam's house didn't take long, he stayed on the phone the whole way there trying to calm the werewolf down. When he pulled up outside he cringed when he saw Liam's parents' cars out front though it didn't stop him from entering the house without knocking. Stiles ignored the yells of startled parents when he rushed up the stairs, loud footsteps behind him.
He only hung up the phone when he saw Liam who was sitting at the end of his bed crying, face red and full of tears. Stiles rushed to his pup and pulled him into a hug. Sitting on the bed with Liam on his lap he rubbed his back and told him to let it all out. No sooner were the words said that Liam started sobbing, low whines and loud howls.
Something was really wrong, he just didn't know what. Stiles pulled his pup as close as he could while humming a soft tune his mother used to hum to him when he was young and sick. After an hour Liam started to calm down, another half an hour and he was able to talk. Stiles doesn't know when Liam's parents left but the door was open and they could probably hear that Liam was no longer sobbing.
"What's wrong pup? Where you hurt?" Stiles asked gently, part of rubbing his hands over him was also to check for injuries, there were no physical signs of wounds, no torn clothes or bleeding but that didn't mean he was alright.
"No" Liam whimpered, causing Stiles to relax somewhat. Making sure to scent his pup.
"Then what happened?" Stiles asked as he pulled back to see Liam who was reluctant to move from his side.
"I—W—we... Theo and I... we—e were searching for Monroe and we found her...T—theo and I decided to try and tak—ke her outt before she saw us... I ripped her throat out... there was so much blood but we didn't want her turning she Theo shot her in the head... I—I thought we did good but when Scott found out he got so mad! He yelled at us for killing her! He called us monsters! And then h—h—he kic—ck us from the pack" Liam explained stuttering and then talking so fast even Stiles found it a little hard to keep up but when he was finished, Stiles felt his blood boil.
How Dare Scott send his pup and Theo on their own to such a large threat? Entire packs have been eliminated by that bitch and he sends two betas after her? No that would not stand. That Scott called his pup and Theo monsters for killing her, he would not allow them to think that way... but to kick them from the pack... No Stiles was done.
"I'm sorry" Liam whined. Stiles froze for a second before taking a deep breath. His pup needed him now more than ever.
"You have nothing to be sorry for, I am proud of you Liam! So proud!" Stiles promised as he rocked his now crying pup again.
"I don't like that Scott sent you and Theo out on your own. I don't like that you felt the need to kill, or that you did kill. It should have been one of the others but I am so proud that you took out the threat, Liam. You saved hundreds of lives if not thousands with that move" Stiles stated rocking and cuddling his pup.
"I know it was your first kill, and honestly you are too young to have your first kill but you are a hero Liam. Everyone should know that you and Theo were the one to stop Monroe and her Army! And anyone that says you shouldn't have done it doesn't understand what she was doing. She wanted to wipe all of the supernatural's out, you and Theo saved us" Stiles stated, trying to undo what Scott did.
"I'm not a m—monster?" Liam whispered, Stiles' heart broke a little hearing the soft plea in his voice.
"No pup, you're a hero" Stiles stated holding him close. Stiles would repeat it until he believed it. Liam was exhausted but Stiles knew his parents were downstairs waiting for an explanation.
"C'mon... your parents are probably wondering why I came barging into their home" Stiles says teasingly but worried not that he knows everything. Liam pulls Stiles close for a few seconds before getting up and blushing.
Stiles gets up and stretches, even though Liam is still young he is a werewolf and kinda heavy, at least for Stiles. Reaching out Stiles runs his hand through his pup's hair until his hand meets the back of his neck. He gives Liam's neck a gentle squeeze and watches as the pup relaxes.
Sighing Stiles starts heading for the stairs, Liam following. When they get downstairs they see both of Liam's parents on the couch in the living room. Both look worried and Stiles can see that their eyes are red, they've been crying.
Liam wanted to tell his mom and stepdad since he turned into a werewolf but Scott refused, now that Liam is no longer in the pack he can do what he likes. Stiles looks at Liam and can see the longing in his eyes, he's had to distance himself for almost a year.
Gently grabbing Liam's arm he pulls his pup into the living room and guides him to the couch opposite his parents. Liam follows and slumps into the couch. Stiles turns to Liam's parents, they look confused and worried. Stiles turns to Liam and sees him biting his lip. A habit that means he's nervous.
"What is going on?" Liam's mom asks, Liam freezes beside him. Stiles looks at both of Liam's parents. He knows they love Liam but will they accept who he is now? Taking a deep breath he promises to do the best for Liam, even if his parents don't.
"Dr Geyer... have you noticed anything strange since moving to Beacon Hills?" Stiles asks, hoping to gently ease them to the truth about Liam and the supernatural.
"Strange how?" Dr Geyer asks but he hesitates, looking at his wife before responding. Stiles knows for a fact now that Dr Geyer does know something, how much is anyone's guess.
"Like people coming in with major injuries and leaving the next day completely fine?" Stiles asks paying close attention to Liam's step-dad. His eyes widen and he barely gasps, swallowing he looks to his wife. They both look worried but not surprised, Stiles eyes narrow in suspicion.
"I've seen some strange things like that... what is going on? Are you okay?" Dr Geyer says before turning to Liam and asking him a question. Stiles watches the way Liam's parents look, move and side-eye each other. They know. They know about the supernatural, before Liam can answer that question Stiles starts talking.
"Liam is a werewolf" Stiles states calmly. Liam whips around to look at Stiles with a "Are you Crazy" look on his face. Both of Liam's parents freeze before Mrs Geyer gasps.
"Oh my poor boy... How did we not see this? How did it happen? When did it happen?" Mrs Geyer asks her voice full of regret and love. Liam looks at his mom shocked.
"You're not scared or disgusted?" Liam whispers, an almost whine in his tone. Mrs Geyer gasps before walking over to Liam and pulling him into a hug. It's a little awkward looking but neither seem ready to leave each other's arms. After a few moments they pull apart, Mrs Geyer holds her son's face in her hands, wiping Liam's tears away.
"We already know about werewolves... when you were really young, we were part of a pack... Your dad was the emissary. When he died and a new emissary joined the pack it was Will" Mrs Geyer explains looking at her son. Stiles is surprised that they were part of a pack.
"When you were four the pack was attacked. We only survived because Will and I were on a date... You were with us, thank the moon" Mrs Geyer says pulling her shocked son into another hug. Stiles stared at Dr Geyer as Mrs Geyer and Liam continued to hug.
"Are you a druid?" Stiles asked Dr Geyer. Mrs Geyer pulled back from Liam and sat beside him, pulling him into a side hug.
"No, human. I learned a lot from my adoptive mother who was a witch. I can't do magic but I can create wards, just can't power them. I also know a lot about different types of creatures" Dr Geyer explains. Stiles was relieved he wasn't a druid, he didn't want another Deaton on his hands, maybe Stiles could learn something from him.
"That's so cool! Stiles is our expert on creatures and supernatural knowledge but between fighting and baddies he hasn't much time to learn" Liam says looking at his step-dad. Stiles rubs the back of his head, slightly embarrassed.
"I wouldn't mind helping you, I have a few hundred books that I could lend you" Dr Geyer says, teasing in his tone. Stiles lights up, knowledge is something that he loves. Learning new things was never boring.
"I would really like that, there is so much I still don't know even about werewolves!" Stiles exclaims, excited at the prospect of new information.
"I think I have a few books that I can lend you, but you must be careful with them, they were my mothers" Dr Geyer said, looking towards a cabinet full of books. Stiles assumes they are the non-supernatural books.
"I promise to take care of them" Stiles promises. He knows he can be messy but he wasn't dirty. He would go on long research binges that would result in files and papers all over the place but it only took him an hour to organise it later.
"So, how did you become a werewolf and why were you so upset earlier??" Mrs Geyer asked Liam, her tone gentle and worried. Liam froze for a second before looking at Stiles.
Stiles sighed before he started explaining how Liam was bitten and everything that had happened since the Hale Fire. Mrs Geyer cries during a lot of it, Dr Geyer seems quiet but Stiles can tell he is simmering in rage when they explain what upset Liam.
"You did what was best with the situation you were in, I don't condone killing... but that woman needed to be put down and I'm sorry that you had to do it but I am so proud of you Liam" Mrs Geyer says pulling her son into another hug. Stiles smiles sadly at the sight before turning his attention to Dr Geyer.
"I am also proud of you Liam... to know that all that was going on and we didn't know... that you had to deal with that alone... I'm sorry.....McCall better not show his face anytime soon or I might break it" Dr Geyer says after taking a deep breath. Stiles is surprised for a second, not that he wouldn't defend his son but because Stiles is used to seeing him as a doctor... It was a little weird hearing a doctor state such things.
Liam now that he knows his parents don't think he is a monster sags in his mother's arms and starts crying again, Stiles rubs his back as he does.
"Right I think I'll be off, I will see you tomorrow pup. You spend as much time with your parents as you want" Stiles says standing up, looking down at his watch he sees that it is a little after seven.
Liam looks like he is going to say something but he can probably smell Stiles's rage and knows he needs to get rid of it. Liam sighs before nodding and Stiles pulls him into one last hug before saying goodbye to Liam and his parents.
