Dragged Away

The first thing that Liam saw was the blood. He couldn't help but notice how much there was, spilling out onto the dirty ground beneath him. Liam stood there frozen; wondering how anyone could survive losing that much blood, it's that thought that had him stumbling forward. He had to get there, he had to make sure his boyfriend wa--.

But before he had the chance, a pair of strong arms wrapped around his waist from behind. He began trashing around when he felt someone trying to drag him away.

"No! Stop it! I need to get to him" Liam screamed, his voice cracking towards the end in desperation.

"There's nothing you can do" Scott tells him, his voice low and strained; like he actually cares, "we'll come back for him after if we can, but for now we have to go, Liam. There's too many hunters."

"No! we can't leave him" Liam begged.

Liam breaks out of Scott's arms and runs forward again. This time it was Malia that grabs him. She throws him over her shoulder and follows Scott out of the building. The last thing that Liam sees are hazel green eyes looking at him.

"Theo."

...

Liam sits in his room, leaning back against the ledge of his window as he stared down at Theo's truck that was still parked in the driveway. He hasn't moved in hours, not since Malia and the Pack had dropped him off at home. He heard them all whispering to his parents before they left, catching bits and pieces of the conversation from behind the door that he had slammed shut as soon as he stepped into his bedroom.

"Theo" "Hunters." "A lot of blood". "There was nothing that we could have done." "Pretty upset." "Dead."

Slamming his eyes shut, he tried to blink back the sting of tears he could feel burning in the back of his eyes. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get the image out of his head, the way that Theo had looked up at him with desperation shining in his beautiful green eyes as Scott and Malia dragged him away from his mate. He could've still been alive, Liam knows that he had been alive before he had been dragged away, and they had just left him there to die alone in that rundown warehouse.

Liam was startled from his thoughts by the sound of his bedroom door creaking open, he was almost positive that he had locked it earlier. He didn't even have to look up to know that it was Scott standing under his doorway.

"Liam I think we should talk" Scott sighed; stepping into Liam's room.

"I don't want to talk to you Scott" Liam spat; he was beyond furious with his Alpha, how could Scott force him to abandoned his mate.

"Liam I understand what you're going through, when I lost Ali—" Scott was cut off by the sound of Liam's gut-wrenching roar, Scott couldn't help but flinch with the amount of pain he could feel coming off his beta.

"How dare you compare losing Alison to me losing Theo" Liam screamed; outraged that Scott would even make that comparison, "Theo is my mate, the other half of my soul. You have no idea what it feels like to lose a mate, so don't you dare say you understand."

"Liam I was only trying to protect you, that's what Theo would've w---" Scott tried to reason again; stumbling back in shock when he felt Liam's fist connect with his jaw.

"Don't you dare tell me what Theo would have wanted, you didn't even know him" Liam screamed; collapsing onto the ground in a heap of sobs and tears, "he was alive when you and Malia dragged me away, you made me abandoned my mate Scott, the man I was supposed to grow old with"

"Liam" Scott said, stepping closer to Liam.

"Get out of my fucking room. NOW" Liam roared, his electric blue eyes phasing gold as he bared his fangs in warning.
