It's party time at the Barrett house and finally, the members of the supernatural groups all meet. New friendships will be made.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Liam tiptoed out of his room and down the stairs. Theo was still sleeping, just like the rest of the house given it was incredibly quiet. Even Koda and Aka slept in their beds. But Liam didn't mind, he couldn't sleep and so got out of bed to get dressed and walk downstairs to prepare breakfast. When his pack woke up, they could all dig in and then do whatever they liked before driving to the Barrett Pack in the evening.

To his surprise, Liam found Maya in the kitchen, pouring herself a glass of orange juice. "Hey." She smiled at her Alpha. "Hi. Already up? Special occasion or just because?" Liam inquired and grabbed himself a fresh glass. "Couldn't sleep any longer so I decided to do some yoga, shower, and get dressed. And now I'm currently deliberating what to make for breakfast so you don't have all the work." She handed the juice carton over for Liam and he poured himself a glass as well. "Ah, I don't mind, you know that." Liam enjoyed cooking, especially for his pack. "But breakfast was on my mind too." "Yeah, I know. But even you, our wonderful Alpha, deserve a break." Maya smiled placatory. "Oh hey, know what we could do? We could grab some muffins and bagels. There is a bakery down the street, I always wanted to check it out." The idea was good. Liam had not found the time to check out the stores around their new home until now. Since they had the time, he saw no problem with it. "Yeah, sure. Good idea. We'll walk?" "A morning walk never hurt anyone." Maya gave him a beaming smile and Liam laughed. He hurried after her and grabbed his wallet and phone on the way.

It wasn't too hot but you could already feel the heat starting to build up. Liam groaned. "Thank god we're having a pool when the heatwave hits." "Hm." Maya made some confirming sounds. They walked in silence for a while. It was still early morning and both were not so awake to have an intriguing conversation. "You excited about the party tonight?" Maya asked after a while. "Yeah. My pack finally meets all of the other packs, which is cool. Kinda feels as if everything comes together." Liam could not wait for the party. "I think now it's the perfect time for meeting new packs. It's time this pack puts itself out there", Maya declared boldly. Liam frowned. "What's that suppose to mean?" She explained: "We spent almost a whole year coming together and figuring things out for ourselves. So much happened already but, in my opinion, we are now at a point where we are solidified in our positions in the pack, we know where we stand. We have to get out there and socialize with other supernatural beings in a good way. The way I see it, no pack - just like no person - is an island. We have to get together with other people, have to make connections, be part of society. To do that properly you need a good base. We established that base all year long. And now, we can make go out and link with other supernaturals." "Just because we make new acquaintances does not mean we abandon the pack." "Yeah." Maya paused. "Have I ever told you my parents came from two companioned packs? That's how they met. So I know how important this is. Not for alliances, that too, still not what I'm talking about right now. But just like we make friends outside of the pack with humans, we also have to make friends outside of the pack with other supernatural beings. Feel free to correct me, you maybe see this different?" "Not really." Liam shook his head. "It's tough to express how I feel about it. In Beacon Hills, it was only us. In the beginning. Then came others, like Brett's and Lori's pack. Still, it wasn't the mass as it is here. Seattle's the bigger town, guess that's the reason. I like meeting new supernaturals, it helps me get a better understanding of this world. Beacon Hills was one horrible being after the other, barely anything nice. Right now, it feels as if I'm experiencing the bright side of this world, and yeah, I like it." "We are happy you're branching out from the pack", Maya let Liam in on a well-kept secret of the pack. Liam would love to say he understood that but not really. "Huh?" "Almost every one of us has some hobby or side activity not involving the pack. Sadie has the university newspaper, Mason has debating society, I have my protests, for example. You don't have something without any involvement of the pack and we noticed. Your Beacon Hills gang said you went to the museum back then and such. You don't do this anymore. It's a pity and we feel it might be because you're just focused on us and our wellbeing." "I don't pay much attention to that", Liam was honest. "It's not like I feel as if I'm missing out. I have a boyfriend, I can do things I like. I have lacrosse." "Where two other pack members play in the team." "I work at Ellie's." "I'm talking about free time here, Liam, and as much as you might like your job, it's still work." "Okay." Liam laughed softly. "But I didn't have many hobbies, to begin with. Lacrosse was my thing. Since that doesn't count..." he teased his female Beta. "It's great you're having so much fun with lacrosse, don't get me wrong. But when we talked about hobbies, we discovered that you don't have many without the pack. You're not the only one, by the way, Caden and Corey also." "Maybe we're just frugal", Liam suggested. Maya snorted. "Right." "Well, we are not unhappy. I know I'm not. Don't think Cade or Cor are." "We know that. It's just something that came up. Wasn't an attack or something." "Didn't think it was. And I guess you're kinda right. I focused on the pack for the last year. Not solely but a lot." Liam had to admit that to himself and anybody else. "I accepted the Alpha spark and from that point on it felt like a snowball running. Met you, Sadie, Ever, Theo got sick, Nolan came back, the wendigo, the first Alpha, and so on. Sometimes I lost track of time and when I realize I'm an Alpha for almost a year, I sometimes can't believe it. Where did the year go?" He shook his head in wonder. "And once again, I have to say right now feels like a new beginning. Like our season two, so to speak. New challenges but also new friends and opportunities. We have to finish the semester and then spring break. Those are the next key events for me."

They arrived at the bakery. It stood in line with a butchery and a grocery store. The square in front of the stores was cleanly swept, some trees placed around strategically with some benches underneath. Liam guessed it had something to do with the neighborhood. Everything was spotless here. Neat. The houses around were expensive and he suspected this was why it looked like that. "Feels like this is a little town on its own, not part of Seattle", Maya voiced what Liam had thought. He grinned. "When I bought it, I was told the neighborhood was lovely and boomed during holidays. Around Christmas, the streets will be full of lights and decorations. I'm excited about it." Liam entered the bakery after Maya. The store was just as neat and the outside and the woman behind the counter greeted them friendly. The range of baked goods was mouthwatering and they even had a little coffee corner. "Look at that!" Maya was as amazed as Liam was. They spent the next few minutes choosing various muffins and bagels before they each got a coffee, paid, and left the store with pale blue boxes holding their loot. "Do you think summer break will be difficult?" Maya asked. Liam sipped his coffee and shrugged. He considered his answer and swallowed. "Different, not difficult. It will be strange for sure, for weeks we will only have contact over the phone not in person. But I also think it will be beneficial for all of us. Just like a child going on vacation without their parents for the first time. And once we're all back together, we have stories to tell." "I'm excited to return home. My aunt and I won't be traveling much but just coming home, to the house I left as a completely different Maya, feels good. Now I have control. I can manage. My aunt is proud of me. I never thought this day would come." "I'm pretty sure your aunt was always proud of you. But the control thing I get. And coming home, after you changed so much, I also get the feeling. I'm not sure how I would feel if I returned to Beacon Hills." Liam would spend the summer break in Hawaii. Theo came with him, of course, they would meet his parents there, but a trip to his hometown was not on the list. For the moment, he didn't need to. "Wouldn't you like it to return and meet people after you changed so much?" Maya questioned him. Liam shrugged. "Not sure. I didn't have to return home since becoming an Alpha, I don't know what to expect. I'll make my mind up about it once the occasion arises." He continued to sip from his coffee. "Maybe you have become too large for Beacon Hills", Maya mused.

They continued their walk and once they reached the house, they found Brett and Nolan on the front porch. Not that those two noticed Maya and Liam approaching, since both were wrapped around each other and more concerned with sucking tongue than watching out for anyone else nearby. "Why is it always me who stumbles over kissing pack members?" Liam joked. Maya cackled. "You two are incredibly impolite!" Brett complained after he tore himself away from Nolan. "Hey, you two were the ones blocking the front door with your making out", Liam replied without a care in the world. "Yeah, think about that!" Nolan tried to one-up him and then considered how lame that was. "Damn!" "Does that mean you two are a real couple or is this still the figuring things out stage?" Maya was not curious, not at all. "Couple." Nolan laced his fingers with Brett and raised their hands. "Not letting that one go." "You beat me to that reply." Brett smiled at his boyfriend and kissed Nolan's knuckles. "Even though I still would have loved the announcement via billboard." "You're a dork", Nolan replied fondly and kissed Brett again. Liam took that as his cue to push both out of the way and open the door.

"There you are", Theo said when he spotted him. Liam raised the boxes in his hand. "We got breakfast. Your favorite muffins are inside here as well." "Aw, I love you." Maya peaked behind Liam. "Does that also count for me?" "I love you in a completely different way than Liam. You're more of my annoying little sister", Theo replied jokingly and she gave him a playful shove with her shoulder when she brushed past him. Theo reached out to take the boxes from Liam. Liam whereas kept them and stared at his boyfriend. "Quick question, Maya said you talked about me not having any hobby without the pack's involvement. What's up with that?" To his credit, Theo looked the tiniest bit guilty. He cleared his throat. "I mean, it's true, right?" "Yeah. I'm just surprised you didn't tell me about that. Usually, you're pretty straightforward with those things." "It's not a problem. Why should I bring it up? If I feared you were unhappy, I would have said something." Theo grabbed one box from Liam when his Alpha didn't move them out of reach. "Besides, you have begun finding your own things recently." Liam squinted. "Were you worried about me?" "Sometimes", Theo confessed, "I love you and have always worried about you. We talked about you being capable. Doesn't stop me from worrying though and yes, sometimes I fear you focus too much on making other people happy and forget yourself a little bit." The worry was sweet and Liam wasn't angry. A little bit confused that his friends all seemingly shared this thought but they all looked out for each other. He as the Alpha was no exception. His Betas had his back and protected him as much as Liam protected them. A good feeling. "You're cute." He knew Theo hated this word relating to himself. "Now, why don't you run and grab Brett and Nolan. They're making out on the front porch." "They're doing what now?"

****** "According to the directions you have to take a right turn here and then follow the road. There is only one street, so I'm not sure why you want me to check with the map. What's your plan? Breach and slam your truck against a tree? Your choice. Left or right? Which tree should it be, given we're currently on a freaking road seamed by forest left and right?" Liam nagged his boyfriend. As much as he loved the older man, the ex-chimera managed to get on his nerves sometimes. If his truck was involved it was especially bad. Take right now. They were on their way to Luka's house and Theo had insisted Liam used the map from the glove department. Not that he was not using the navigation system in his truck, no he used that too but wanted Liam to double-check. "Maybe there is a junction!" "This is a forest!" Liam, Brett, Nolan, and Lori called out. True. After they left the main road (and just like Luka had described it to Liam and why would Liam doubt him? Luka knew where he lived and how to get to his own home, thank you very much, Theodore!) the paved road had narrowed and wound between trees in all shades of green. No chance at swinging off if you didn't want to crash your car. "I was just checking!" Theo defended himself and Liam snorted. His boyfriend shot him a glare but Liam ignored it as much as possible. It was one of their usual spats, without any real anger, just the two of them riling each other up. They were good at those and the better they knew each other, the more those evolved.

Suddenly a big house appeared several feet in front of them. Liam jumped in his seat, not due to the building, but due to Brett's head suddenly appearing between the driver and the passenger seat. "Sick! Are you sure you didn't miss a turn and drove us straight to Italy??" He all but yelled and Liam held his left ear. "Thanks for making me go deaf, Brett!" But yeah, Brett also had a point, The house looked straight from a travel brochure about the sunny vineyards in Tuscany. Same building style as those villas there with bright walls and red shingles on the roof. "How unbelievable pretty." Lori was quieter than her brother but also mesmerized by the appearance. "That is a house. No, screw that, that's a mansion", Theo declared. Liam nodded slowly. He had never paid much attention to his friend's monetary status but that house was bigger than theirs and now he felt kind of silly for never thinking about it before. His jaw had dropped and the closer they came, the more it dropped.

They drove through opened iron gates with some intriguing design on them (Nolan exclaimed he would like to ask what it represented) and past a small fountain sparkishly purling water. The fountain served as some sort of center for the round driveway. Theo now stopped his truck in front of the red entrance door. Liam still gaped. To the left was a garage with closed gates but from what he could see, it could hold more than three cars. A small red car was parked in front of the garage. Then came the main building with two floors and on the right side you could walk around the house. Liam would take a shot in the dark and say this led to the garden. "Impressive!" Mike commented after he got out of Liam's car. The rest of the pack filtered in from the truck, Liam's car, and Ever's car. A door in the garage gate opened and out came a tall, broad-shouldered man with dirty blonde hair. He nodded at them in a welcoming gesture. "Hello. I'm Holden. Welcome to our home." Liam's pack greeted politely and Holden nodded at Theo's truck. "Yours?" "Yes." Theo nodded. "It's in impeccable condition. This model has some problems and you rarely see them be in good repair." "I try my best. It's my truck after all and I want it to last", Theo acted as if this was nothing but Liam knew how proud his boyfriend was and how much work he had put in the car.

"They're here for five minutes and you're already talking about cars? Seriously?" The front door had opened and a brunette woman stepped out. Her wavy hair fell loosely over her shoulders and her lips curved into a bright smile. "Hi, I'm Delaney!" She introduced herself to Liam and his pack. It wouldn't have really been necessary, she had the same impish features around the eyes her brother had and the same dimples. Holden scoffed. "Cut your hair again. You are so much nicer when your hair is shorter." His tone was fond, like an older brother talking to his sister. Luka had described Holden as his brother cause they grew up together. So he also grew up with Delaney and their banter made sense. "Nonsense!" Delaney waved her arm around. "I'm a delight, all the time. Every time." "Says who?" Holden questioned sarcastically. She left him behind in favor of tending to the Morning Dew Pack. "Come inside, have something cool to drink. My brother will be with us shortly. And you, Holden, wash your hands. Why do you always have to hide in the garage when we're having guests over?" Holden mumbled something but didn't follow when she ushered the group inside.

"Your house is incredible. I really thought we were in Italy!" Mason complimented Delaney and she smiled proudly. "Italy is big in our family so my dad had it built years ago. We all love it. Some little Mediterranean flair in North America." She led them past a large staircase leading to the upper floors, and towards the right side of the building, right into the kitchen. The kitchen itself held almost the same appliances Liam had, with one kitchen island in the middle. Two other women were currently working there but quit their chatting to greet the visitors. "This is Bryn and that over there is Lynn." "Hi! So glad you're here!" Lynn waved at them and beamed. Her blonde curls bounced around her petite face and her blue eyes shone with such excitement, you immediately liked her. All in all, she looked like a doll and Liam remembered Luka saying people underestimated her. Sadie had the same problem but he knew she could kick ass. Lynn probably too. Bryn, compared to Lynn, seemed more reserved, even though her smile was warm and welcoming. She seemed shyer. Her hair was dark brown but with blonde highlights and currently put up in a braided bun, with only some curls framing her face. "It's so nice to meet you." Her voice was softer too, not as enthusiastic as Lynn's but that wasn't a bad thing. "Would you like some lemonade? I made it this morning." "Homemade lemonade is always a great thing. Know how to make homemade lemonade and you have a place in my heart," Corey gushed. She beamed at him and then proceeded to fill enough glasses with everyone. "Bryn knows how to make a ton of homemade things. She's a great baker and cook, uses a lot of vegetables and fruits she grows in the garden!" Lynn praised and Bryn blushed softly. "Stop it." "This is so cool. I thought about cultivating things in our garden but I haven't made my mind up about it yet", Liam told Bryn. She pointed outside a window. "If you want, I can give you some tips later? Even share some seeds and I can bring you a box of what I harvested. It's too much for us anyway." "If that wouldn't be much trouble, yes, please! Oh, I'm Liam. We haven't really introduced ourselves. Sorry." "Nah, don't worry. She cyber-stalked you." Delaney pointed her thumb at Lynn. "We know all of your names, Instagram is fruitful." "They both stalked you. I tried to allure them from it but what can you do?" Bryn corrected and her friends gaped at her. She giggled. "Ah, our stalking unit are these two." Mike pointed at Mason and Sadie and both protested at first but then agreed. "Not all of your pack members are on Insta, right?" Sadie inquired. "They are, but some private and some under different names", Lynn explained. Bryn distributed the glasses with lemonade to everyone. An older man approached a door from the outside and opened it. His dark blonde hair was grey in some spots, he was clean-shaven, and looked fit. "Hello, everybody. I am Simon. Welcome to our lovely home." He stepped closer and extended his hand for Liam. "You're Liam Dunbar." "Nice to meet you, sir. Yes, I am." Liam shook his hand. It was a firm handshake, Simon knew how to grab things, and Liam was almost certain that extended over other areas of his life. Luka had told him, Simon had been the advisor of the pack, after all. "And you are Theo Raeken? The second Alpha?" Simon now dropped Liam's hand and greeted Theo. Theo also shook his hand. "Indeed, sir, nice to meet you." "So you're for Liam what Sandro is for Luka. Wonderful." He also dropped Theo's hand. "If you want you can already join us outside. Unless Will manages to make the grill explode, it should be safe", Simon joked and they all laughed. "Will and Sandro are the pack's answer to the Weasley Twins from Harry Potter. You know, cheeky jokes, pranks, that type of thing", Delaney filled Liam's pack in while they followed Simon outside.

In the garden stood already a table with plates, cutlery, and glasses. Garlands and fairy lights hung above the table and between some wooden poles, a big grill was already fired up, two men stood in front of it. They turned around when the group came closer. Both with dark hair, one just curly, the other not. They shared almost identical smiles. "Hey, our guests have arrived!" The curly-haired one said. "Astute observation, dearest cousin", the other teased him. He left the grill and waved. "Hey, I'm Will." "And I'm Sandro!" "And you're watching Disney Channel!" Delaney, Bryn, and Lynn said at the same time. Simon looked amused at their antics but then hurried over to the grill and tend to the meat already on it. He probably feared Sandro and Will would burn it. "Okay, now we're here, who is missing is my brother. Where is my brother?" Delaney looked around. "He's in the office, a contractor is causing problems. He will be with us shortly." Holden had joined the group again. "Just wanted to make sure he didn't go on a run." "He went on a run this morning, I accompanied him. Afterward, we transformed again, had a shower, and waited patiently for the party to start", Sandro defended Luka. "You showered together?" Lynn piped in. Sandro made a retching sound. "Gross. I'm gay but he's like my brother. I mean, yes, we are two attractive friends but not so much attraction I would sleep with him." "Jesus", Simon muttered. Mason and Liam looked at each other and began laughing. Mason had said the same thing about Liam at one point. "But wait, if you say transformed...Does that mean Luka can shift?" Tim had picked that up almost immediately. "We all can", Sandro said casually. Liam and his friends stared at him. What? "You all, the whole pack, can shift into actual wolves?" Lori could not believe this. "It's not clear what enables the ability to transform. But this pack managed to gather individuals with this special talent", Simon added. "So cool", Caden mumbled devoutly.

"What is cool?" Luka walked out of the house and joined them. "Our powerful Alpha! And here we thought you would never show your face", Delaney joked. "Hey, business is business. Didn't know you would miss me so much, sis. And hello, guys." He greeted Liam's pack. No time for further niceties since the doorbell rang. Luka turned around and disappeared into the house again.

And he appeared again moments later with Maddie in tow. "Maddie!" Liam greeted her happily and she hugged him. "Hey, Liam and the others." "No Asher?" Corey was a tad disappointed. Since the first meeting, Asher, Mason, and Corey had stayed in contact and even met up two more times. They had considered him being here a no-brainer. "I wanted to bring him but his father called and ugh!" She rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out in distaste. But then her face lit up again. "Yet I didn't come alone." Only now they all noticed the blonde woman who had followed Maddie and Luka into the garden. She now raised a hand. "Hi, everybody, I'm Jade." "Vampire, right?" Mason, straight to the point. "One of the ones following Meadow, yep." Jade nodded. "Fantastic. Is that everybody?" Simon had turned the meat on the grill and was only now ushered away by Will. "Sava texted me they won't make it this early but they will join us later", Luka declared. The nickname came easy, Savannah herself had texted them all days ago they could use Sava or Savi if they didn't want to say or write her whole name. "So, let's start. Please, have a seat. Who wants a drink?"

They all went and found a place for themselves on the large table. Will turned out to be a god at the grill (with Simon's help, of course) and soon they all could eat. "I hope you have the steak extra bloody", Maddie joked. Will grasped his chest. "That's the only way we werewolves eat it. I was never aware there could be other choices. Please, tell me more, lady." She laughed and was brave enough to actually try a steak. When she tasted it, she hummed. "This is good." "Will is a chef. Every type of food he touches is amazing. Thank god for werewolf metabolism", Lynn sighed and drank from her wine. Conversation flowed easily around the table after that, they all got to know each other better, just as it had been planned. Liam talked with Holden and Maya about college and expectations from life. After Liam had explained his problem with his major and what he wanted to do after college, Holden was on his side. "The same for me. I graduated with a Women's Rights major but before I even finished my college education, I knew this wasn't what I wanted. Sometimes we realize what we want to do as a job is more of a hobby and what we saw as a hobby is actually what we want to do. I get what you're saying, Liam, I made the same decision once." He was a very understanding character and Liam noticed how carefully Holden listened. He had his full attention on the other persons in the conversation, a very comfortable feeling. Maya was now highly zealous. "You majored in Women's Rights?" "Yeah. The topic is close to my heart and there is still so much that needs to be done in this world. We, as a society, have to do something and I wanted to be part of the solution." The young Alpha smiled as he watched them dissolve in a very animated discussion and turned to his other side. There sat Maddie, Mason, and Will and they talked about the general perception of vampires. "Oh please, this is the Hollywood image of us vampires. The brooding lovers, pained by the thought of their eternal love aging and dying while they stay young and beautiful. And the tantalizing choice of turning them or not turning them." She raised her hand to her forehead and acted as if she was about to faint. "Bullshit!" She sat up straight. "Over the ages vampires managed to find a solution for this problem. With the help of other supernaturals and potions, we can also age. And we can drink a certain potion to fall into a neverending sleep. Some vampires live surrounded by humans and have to fit in. Sure, some of our kind do live this Hollywood image lifestyle but most of us are actually reasonable." "This is strangely upsetting", Mason confessed. "Not that you can do that and that Hollywood lied but that there could be vampires around without any of us noticing." Maddie just gave him a cheeky grin and drank her wine. "May I ask how old you are? I have this on my list since day one but it never came up." "I'm 317...Or 318?...No, 317...316?..No, no, 317." Maddie had to actually do some math. The three guys laughed and she joined them. "Then tell me, what era did you like the most?" Will questioned and swirled the rest of his wine in his glass. "Hm, okay, let me preface by saying every age and era had their problems and never was everything absolutely fine. Modern times are fine, we don't have to boil our food anymore. But I really loved the Roaring 20's. Dancing the Charleston was so much fun and I loved the dresses there. The glamour, the parties." "The Charleston...It's been a while since I learned and danced it but might giving me a refresher?" Will put his glass on the table, stood up, and held his hand out for Maddie. She chuckled but still followed him. Bryn manned the music player and when Will told her what they were trying to do, she searched for a fitting song. Soon she found one and they started dancing while the rest of their friends hollered. "Is that the Charleston? I always wanted to learn the dance!" Sadie was amazed. Will extended his hand towards her. "Sure, the more, the merrier." She happily jumped to her feet and joined. Mason followed closeby and Maddie began explaining the steps. Lynn swarmed around them and snapped pictures after pictures. At one point during the party, she had talked about her job as a photographer and went to her room to grab her camera as well as a polaroid camera. The polaroid camera was making its way around, everybody snapped a picture at some point, some sillier than others, but always really funny.

"Hello, hello, hello. We're right in time for the part-ey!" Savannah and her Betas rounded the house, in the best party mood. Their welcoming was heartfelt and cheerful. Her black-haired Beta dashed past her. "Hello! My name is Carmen but I love this dance and have to join!" She yelled and settled next to Mason to dance with them. "Oi, Carmen, way to make an impression!" Paola laughed. "Let her be, Paola, enjoy the time. I'm Beatriz everyone. Hello." Beatriz was the oldest of the bunch but still dressed very colorful and lively. Savannah meanwhile happily hugged Luka and Liam. "Glad you could make it!" Luka greeted her and she kissed his cheek. "Grab yourself drinks and enjoy your stay at casa Barrett." "Oh, I will." She disappeared to greet everyone if they knew them or not. Luka leaned on the backrest of the chair next to Liam. "That was a good idea." Liam looked around. His friends were all laughing. He saw Caden sitting with Jade, Tim, and Delaney and they were laughing like crazy about something. Ever talked with Simon. Theo had sat next to Holden and they were involved in a conversation where sometimes Sandro joined from the other side when he wasn't talking with Mike. Brett had pulled Nolan on the makeshift dancefloor and the new couple was laughing. "Can't remember when I've last seen them so boisterous", he admitted. "Yeah, me neither." Luka had watched his pack as well. He smiled gently. "I think some new friendships started tonight. And a complete platonic crush from one of my best friends on your boyfriend's car." Liam chuckled. "Theo loves his truck and is very proud of it. I think he will entertain this crush." "Good, good." They looked at each other and laughed before Luka took the last swig from his beer bottle. "Want another one as well?" He asked Liam. "I'll come with you." Liam didn't plan on just sitting in his chair and watch the party without getting involved.

The two werewolves ventured into the kitchen where Luka pulled two beers from the fridge and handed Liam one. "I must admit, it feels good to make connections with other supernaturals again. Ones who actually live close by. Our nearest companioned pack lives in Canada", Luka let Liam know and opened his bottle. "We have the ones at the lake but that's our pack. And then maybe my old pack in Beacon Hills." Although Liam was not completely sure where he stood with Scott. They were friends and helped each other but both Alphas focused on their packs and didn't have much contact for the moment. Maybe this was also part of growing up. "I don't believe in dragging others into my fights. But it's good to know who will be by your side when push comes to shove." And could Liam not relate to that opinion. He had been through so much already and people he initially trusted turned on him, so he valued loyalty very high. He nodded.

"There you are." Maddie and Savannah walked into the kitchen. "Are you hiding from us?" "Yeah, that's the point of the whole party. To hide from you", Liam replied and Maddie gave him a playful shove. "Don't get funny with me, mister." Liam laughed and raised both hands. "Alright, alright." Savannah slapped Luka's arm hard. "How could you?" "Ow!" He stared at her with an incredulous laugh. "How could I what?" "Not tell me what a fine hunk Holden is!" He sighed. "Sava, should I ever talk about the guy I grew up with, the guy who's like my brother, as a fine hunk, please send me to the nearest asylum!" To the end of the sentence, Luka's voice had a fake pleading tone. Liam and Maddie laughed. Savannah was still on his case. "Is he single?" "Everybody in my pack is currently single. By all means, shoot your shot."

Despite his "puppy ways", Liam rarely met anybody he wholeheartedly liked and trusted after a short amount of time. It was probably his best-kept secret and he was willing to bet not even Theo knew. Liam was good at appearance, had learned it after his childhood and after his diagnosis. Living as a werewolf only solidified that. Only if you were willing to give him something significant in return, he warmed up to you faster. Byron had managed that, for example. With his open character and willingness to take Liam seriously. Mason back in the day too. Because he never shied away from Liam and didn't care what other kids said about him. And now the other three supernatural leaders as well. Maybe Maya was right when she said it was good Liam had found something not immediately pack related. No, she was definitively right.

"You okay?" Maddie gently nudged Liam's arm. "You're quiet." Her concern was touching and Liam smiled softly. "Just thinking. Maya said this morning she's happy I found something without other pack mates with you. Apparently, I focused too much on the pack and don't have hobbies without my Betas and my Betas were worried about me." Liam kept his tone light, he didn't want them to think he was complaining about Maya. Luckily his new friends didn't seem surprised. Savannah looked at Luka and Meadow. "I know I did the same, how about you?" Casual question. "Yeah", Luka confirmed. "It's what I call the Alpha hole." Maddie debated on the question a little bit more: "Liam, every leader, every good leader, of a supernatural group has done that. You have to establish things first. For yourself and the ones following you. So everybody knows which direction it's going. It's normal." "In this regard, the leader is like a parent. The kids come first", Luka chimed in, "Their happiness and wellbeing come first, then comes you." "Even if you take over from another Alpha and want to continue their type of leadership, you are your own person and you need to figure out things on your own. It's a strange sense of belonging and loneliness at the same time. You have to evaluate which way to go, which direction to take. It can feel overwhelming. The proverbial image of a hole fits very well", Savannah agreed. Liam had to chuckle at that. "I'm good at falling into holes." Yet he wondered: "So that doesn't mean I made a colossal mistake in my early Alpha life?" "No. It means you take being an Alpha seriously. A very good trait if you want to be a good Alpha", Maddie affirmed. Liam huffed. "Will this ever stop? Focusing on the pack so much?" "You will get better at balancing it more", Luka promised with a comforting smile. Liam believed him. All of them really. Savannah, ever one to use an opportunity, was already onto another thing. "But, just to ensure all of us don't get so caught up with our groups and forget ourselves, how about regular hanging outs? Just the four of us? Getting something to eat or going to the movies? Bi-weekly? At least once a month?" "I'm game. When I'm not traveling for work, I will come." Luka liked the idea. "It's a good idea. Count me in", Liam also decided. Maddie nodded as well. Savannah looked pleased.

"There's the Alpha Squad." Mike showed up in the doorway, polaroid camera in hand. "Alpha Squad? I'm not really an Alpha", Meadow corrected gently. He shrugged. "You're leading a supernatural group and you hang with three Alphas. To simplify it, we will call you Alpha as well. So Alpha Squad, say cheese!" He raised the camera and took a picture of the four persons in the kitchen. "Huh, can't really argue with that", Maddie admitted. "Well then, Alpha Squad it is." Liam thought it sounded fun.

A little something to go with Jenny’s @scrapyardboyfriends awesome pride art (and any excuse to drag Andrea) because who needs sleep anyway?

---

“Emmerdale Pride?” Robert asked, looking at the flyer Andrea had excitedly shoved into his hand.

“Yes! The very first pride event in this village.” she told him. “We’ll drag this place into the 21st century yet!”

“I didn’t realise it needed to...” Robert trailed off and shared a look with Aaron.

“Well... June is Pride month. It’s an opportunity to show the LGBTQ+ community we support them!”

“We?” Aaron asked.

“The village.”

“The LGBTQ+ community... Right. So that’s us and Liv, Matty, and Ethan... did I miss anyone?”

“Well there is Charity I suppose.” Robert said with a shrug. “Though I’ve never heard her say anything about her sexuality... And Mack flirts with everything with a pulse...”

“I reckon the pulse is optional.” Aaron joked and they both laughed.

“So will you come? To our Pride event?” Andrea asked, trying to get them to focus on her and her event.

“Don’t you work for Take a Vow? Wedding planning?” Robert asked.

“Yes... we do gay weddings too, you know.”

Robert rolled his eyes and held up his hand, showing her his wedding ring.

“We’re good in that department.“

“You can still come to pride though! To celebrate your marriage. It’s open for everyone. We posted it online too and a lot of people were interested.”

“People from other places coming to this little village for pride? Why?” Aaron asked, confused.

“Because... it’s fun. We’ve got a drag show, a pride march, music, there is something for everyone. You two should come. Bring the kids, it really is for everyone.”

“We’ll think about it.” Robert half promised her and stuffed the flyer in the shopping bag he was holding. “Now if you don’t mind, we have to go pick up our kids from Diane’s.

“Of course.” Andrea stepped aside. “Have a nice day!”

Later that day, after they’d put the kids to bed, Aaron brought up the event again, reading over the flyer as he was about to throw it out.

“You know... it might be fun... this pride thing.”

Robert put a hand to his forehead.

“Are you serious? Who are you and what have you done with my husband?”

Aaron rolled his eyes at him.

“Shut up. We were already talking about going to pride in Leeds... this could be a fun... warm up.”

“Two parties in one summer? Now I know you were abducted by aliens.”

“I’m just saying... We could actually take the kids to this one. Seb will like all of the colours and stuff. It could be fun... She did say it was family friendly.” Aaron pointed out. “And if it gets too much, we’ll be back home in no time.”

“Yeah... yeah, you’re right... it would be fun I suppose.” Robert admitted after taking a moment to think things through.

“Of course I’m right, I’m always right. You should know that by now.” Aaron teased and kissed him.

After they’d decided to go to Emmerdale pride, Robert dove head first into the preparations. He’d watched tutorials by vloggers half his age, and with a little help from Diane, he managed to sew the bisexual flag colours to the sleeves of one of his shirts, and even surprised Aaron with a shirt with a rainbow flag printed on it, that he was sure didn’t come from a store.

“And I also got us these.” He held up two pairs of cheap sunglasses with their pride flags painted on the arms.

“How did you do this?” Aaron asked, running his fingers over the colours.

“It’s nail varnish. I did it at the salon when Bernice was having some kind of breakdown over Liam. She didn’t notice.” Robert said with a grin. “Do you like it?”

“Yeah, sure, they’re great... but we have sunglasses... the ones we bought before our holiday last year?”

“Yeah, but these are for pride.”

The day of the event, the village was buzzing and it was a lot busier than either of them had thought it would be. it was a fun kind of busy though and everyone seemed to be in a good mood. Including Eric Pollard.

Seb loved every minute of it. Aaron had put him on his shoulders so he had a better view of everything and the boy was mesmerised by the drag show.

After a while he was getting restless and when he saw the playground had been turned into some bubble blowing paradise, he only wanted to join the fun and didn’t care about the rest of the event anymore.

“I’ll stay with him.” Vic offered. “Harry wants to play with the bubbles too anyway. We’ll be fine, you two go enjoy yourselves.”

After making sure Vic really didn’t mind, the two of them made their way over to the market stalls set up outside the village hall. There were some stalls selling clothes and one selling make up and hair dye that Aaron dragged Robert away from before he’d be painting pride colours in his hair.

They ended up at a stall selling jewellery. Lots of different pride flag pins and other accessories and one bracelet that caught Aaron’s eye. A simple leather strap with coloured beads on it in every pride flag imaginable.

“Look, these are nice.” He pointed the bracelets out to Robert who had been looking at rings.

“They are.” Robert agreed. “you could wear it at work and everything.”

“Some couples use them as wedding bands. For people who want something other than a ring.” The stall owner told them.

“Well we already have the rings.” Aaron said, holding up his hand. “But can I take a closer look at those bracelets please?”

In the end they ended up both getting a bracelet and as Aaron secured Robert’s around his wrist, after the other man had put his on for him, the stall owner mentioned they were doing wedding photo shoots outside of Take a Vow.

"We should do a photoshoot.” Robert said excitedly as they made their way over to the improvised photo studio. “We can recreate our wedding photo.”

Aaron wasn’t particularly interested in that but Robert’s excitement was infectious so he went along with it.

“And we can pick our own background?” Robert asked a few minutes later as they were talking to the photographer.

“Yep. I can edit it on the computer to make it seem like you’re on top of the Eiffel tower, in a meadow, in a gondola in Venice, anything you want.”

“The Eiffel tower?” Aaron asked Robert, pulling a face that said he wasn’t exactly thrilled at the idea.

“Or I have these art works by local artists that I can use.” The photographer said and showed them some works.

“Oh... this one is kind of perfect.” Robert turned to Aaron who had to agree. “Can we use this one?”

“Sure. You two stand over there in front of the wall and strike any pose you like, while I get everything ready on this end.”

They took their places and Robert put his hands on Aaron’s hips while Aaron’s own hands came to rest on Robert’s waist.

“Happy pride mister Sugden-Dingle.” Robert whispered before leaning in and kissing Aaron.

A few days later, when Aaron got home from work, he did a double take when he walked into the house. Next to their wedding picture, there was a large framed print of the picture they’d taken at pride.

The two of them in front of a heart, with one half painted in the colours of the bisexual pride flag, and the other half the gay pride one, and Emmerdale pride 2021 written on the bottom in fancy lettering.

He smiled and made his way into the kitchen where Robert was making their tea.

“Do you like it?” he asked. “I know it’s a bit theme park roller coaster photo with the words at the bottom but...”

“It’s great. I love it.” Aaron assured him. “And I love you. Happy belated pride mister Sugden-Dingle.”

Liam’s Final Act show merch be loud ☺️♥️ And I love everything about it!

The new header of the Final Act 4 merch page.

The header of the Final Act 4 merch page:

On the left he included an eye, a bushy feather, a CD (?), and a rose.

The colors and overall shape of the graphic on the black hoody are miming the LGBTQ flag. 🏳️‍🌈 The A of ACT now forms a triangle, the way the letters of ACT are positioned.

The shirt says, bisexual pride and in the prettiest of ways. Love that!

There’s a grey shirt which has a lovely pairing of symbols and his signature.

There’s an exclusive digital artwork which has so many referential pictures/symbols and lines of his songs. Love that!

Larry Fic Rec -- June/July

hii!! so I’ve got some fics that I read in June and July (until now). If you see a ✰ next to a title it means I really liked it and it’s one of my favs from the ones I listed. If there’s a 🔒 next to title it means you have to be logged in to read.

[Click on the title for link]

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Latitude by nikogda (44k)

Summary: Harry’s a hybrid on a boat about to be hit by a storm and Louis is the human who comes to his rescue. That storm is all the time they have to fall in love before going their separate ways. That is, until almost a year later…

Ever Since I Tried Your Way by Anonymous ✰ (25k)

Summary: Harry had been kissed before, but never like this.He’d shared sweet, curious kisses behind bleachers and in soda shop booths, one or two more daring ones in cars parked on dark suburban streets, but the girls he’d kissed had never filled him with the desperation that erupted from Louis’ touch. He parted his lips and pulled him closer, as though he could breathe Louis straight into his lungs, as if he could swallow him. He wanted to consume Louis the way he consumed the body and blood of Christ. He wanted to place Louis on his tongue and feel him dissolve into a frothy mess of starch and saliva. He wanted to gulp him down until his teeth were stained purple and he was drunk on him. He wanted him in some violent holy way that made his hands shake where they were twisted in Louis’ shirt.

In 1949 Harry left his bride at the altar, running away from the only life he'd known. When a kindhearted farmer offers him a ride in his truck and a place to sleep the two find themselves inexplicably drawn together. Isolated on Louis' farm with nobody but a field of dairy cows to intrude, the men are finally able to explore the parts of themselves they've spent their lives hiding away.

No Candle No Light (No Friendzone To My Love) by Anonymous (11k)

Summary: Louis glanced at his friend, glaring daggers and Niall chuckled. He looked like his idea could end world hunger and Louis was horrified. [...]“Come on, Niall! Tell me!” Harry insisted, excited.“You can threaten him other than with violence. You said you want a little revenge, right? What if an ex-boyfriend came to reconquer you? You know, the jealous and aggressive kind.”Harry sighed loudly, closing his eyes. Louis frowned, just like Liam and Zayn. What was he talking about? And why was he still looking at Louis that way?“Niall, this could’ve been a nice idea if I had an ex-boyfriend, but-”“Let me explain!” Niall barged in. “ You don’t have an ex-boyfriend but you can pretend you have one! I’m sure Louis would love to help you with that.”Liam almost choked on his wine and Zayn bit so hard on his lip to contain his laughter that it might have bled. Niall looked satisfied as hell, of course he was the little shit, and Louis just had time to flip him the finger before Harry turned to him. He was fucking delighted.

Or the one where helping Harry getting rid of his boyfriend may be the only way to his heart

Sugar by lettersfromvenus (15k) ✰

Summary:

“I hope our paths will ‘croissant’ again.”

There’s a little smiley face drawn next to the words, and it’s ridiculous, Louis knows, but he can’t help the swell of butterflies that he feels as he reads over the words once more. An odd fellow indeed, he thinks.A moment later he shakes his head and collects himself, because he really does need to get home; he’s sure that Harry is probably watching him from behind the counter, all sweet, smug smiles and pink cheeks. And if he’s being honest, he’s not entirely sure he won’t toss his groceries into the trash and walk straight back into the bakery if he doesn’t leave now, so… he really does need to get going.

Before he goes on his way, though, he plucks the note from the top of the container and carefully tucks it inside of his wallet to protect it from the rain.

That’s how it begins.

Only Been Here One Time by alienharry (10k)

Summary:

“Good morning, Liam. Harry.” Louis nods at them both and then cocks his head. “Are you aware you have four nipples, Harry?”

Harry looks down at his chest, suddenly worried. He doesn’t know how many nipples humans have, but four must not be a usual amount. “Should I have six?”

“Not unless you’ve a litter of kittens to feed.”

Soft Hands, Fast Feet, Can’t Lose by dolce_piccante (112k) ✰

I KNOW ITS ICONIC BUT I READ IT A MONTH AGO SO I THOUGHT I’D INCLUDE IT HERE.

Summary: American Uni AU. Harry Styles is a frat boy football star from the wealthy Styles Family athletic dynasty. A celebrity among football fans, he knows how to play, he knows how to party, and he knows how to fuck (all of which is well known among his legion of admirers).

Louis Tomlinson is a student and an athlete, but his similarities to Harry end there. Intelligent, focused, independent, and completely uninterested in Harry’s charms, Louis is an anomaly in a world ruled by football.

A bet about the pair, who might be more similar than they originally thought, brings them together. Shakespeare, ballet, Disney, football, library chats, running, accidental spooning, Daredevil and Domino’s Pizza all blend into one big friendship Frappucino, but who will win in the end?

It’s All Brand New by midnightwhistleberries (10k)

Summary: “Harry,” Louis intones emphatically, “literally everyone in the U.K. has known that I’m openly bisexual since 2011.”

“’Cept you, I guess,” supplies Niall.

In which Harry studies engineering, loves Madonna, and can't tell if Louis likes him or just keeps coming back to the record store because he's some sort of musical hoarder. Louis is famous, Harry has no idea, communication issues are rampant and fluffy pining ensues.

Fool For You by flowercrownfemme, lesbianferrissbueller (46k) ✰

Summary: “It’s not a game.” Harry scoffed, trying to push past him once more but Louis held his ground. “And I’ve never once told you a lie.” “All you do is lie," Harry argued. "Jests and tricks and made up stories, that’s your trade. I’d never trust a word from your mouth.” “I tell stories,” Louis conceded, “but a good one must be based on truth. And my stories tend to get a bit more truthful when I’m around you, Princess.”

In which Harry is a brooding prince who's scarcely smiled since the death of his mother and Louis is the dashing jester hired to change that.

streetwise hercules by bottomlinsons (7k) 🔒

Summary: I said,” Louis’ voice is venomous, “who the fuck is this?”Right. This is Harry’s part.

(Uni AU, where Louis pretends to be Harry's boyfriend to scare away his one night stands.)

Close Enough To Touch by stinky28 (7k)

Summary: “You are killing it!” The stranger shouts in his ear, to which Louis raises a brow, setting up the next transition and song, bobbing a bit in place before glancing over to the stranger and Oh. Red.

He’s staring right at a very large, oddly tied red bow tie. It takes up the whole stranger’s chest and..it’s bloody brilliant. He fucking loves it. He feels himself break into a giant grin, looking up at Mr. Red Bowtie’s face and Oh. Fuck.

OR an au where louis is the dj for the met gala after party and harry can’t leave his side.

Hate Me To The Moon by harrystylesandstuff (83k)

Summary: The last thing Harry wanted was to spend his entire summer stuck with his dad's new fiancée and her kids. He wants no more when he learns she's a very religious dictator, raising a sixteen year old nun and a clean cut potential priest ass kisser.

Everything takes a slightly different turn, however, when Harry finds out his future step-brother is actually the rude stranger he caught sucking off a guy in a pub, far from the reserved Christian his mom thinks he is...

AU where Harry is a sexy nerd, Louis is a great actor, and they both pretend to hate each other's guts to convince themselves they're not feeling things future step-brothers shouldn't feel...

hush. by Wankerville (41k)

Summary: “I don't like you like that, Harry.”

“See,” Harry starts, Louis can hear the smile in his voice, “that's where I think you're lying.”

or an au where small towns suck, louis is losing it, and harry’s just too perfect.

The Unsuccessful Promise by trysomecats (11k)

Summary: At the end of the previous school year, Louis swore to everyone that he would return in the fall as an alpha. He made this promise especially to his arch-nemesis Harry Styles, who has already presented as an alpha himself. Unfortunately over summer break, the worst thing possible happens: Louis presents as an omega. Now school is back in session and he has to return and face the consequences of pre-determining his status.

Featuring Liam and Zayn as Louis' doting and exasperated parents.

Autumn At My Window by TheCellarDoor (20k)

Summary: A canon-compliant AU, in which Harry and Louis are both in the band and have been sharing flats and hotel rooms for nearly five years, but never made the leap past 'friends who are too close for comfort'.

Featuring a lot of pining, Louis' addiction to Harry's scent, and a whole lot of sexual tension that might just snap loose when they decide to spend some time together all on their own.

OKAY! That’s it for now cause I don’t want this post to be too long (oof i’ve read a lot actually). I have Fic Rec June/July Part Two in drafts and im also gonna collect fics that I’ve read on my kindle (its usually above 50k and make a fic rec with them). Stay tuned and follow my blog so you don’t miss it idk <33.

PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR FEEDBACK ON THIS: I can make: Iconic Fics, My Fav Fics or try and do some themed fic rec. LET ME KNOW IF YOU’D WANT THAT!

Chapter Twenty-One

{Falling In Love Through The Phone}

Very anti-climatic but very important piece that needed added into. We're getting closer to the time jump!!

A few days passed with Harry on the phone with his management team arguing about California. So, it didn't come as a surprise when Louis came home after work to see Harry's carry-on packed with a few things of clothes and his passport, wallet and three sets of keys on the coffee table.

"I hope you're not leaving right away." Louis said

"Unfortunately, I am. I have to leave for the airport soon." Harry said from where he was looking at his phone.

"Want me to come with you?" Louis asked

"No, I'll only be gone a few days. It won't be worth it." Harry said looking at him though his face told Louis a different story. He gave a half smile before he kissed Louis' cheek and headed upstairs. Louis waited a few minutes before he followed him into their room to see Harry looking for something in the closet.

"Can I help?" Louis asked to dispel the weird gut feeling he was getting

"I just need a - can I take this?" Louis raised an eyebrow as Harry held up one of Louis' button ups.

"Yeah, but you have your own and mine will be tight on you."

"Can't find mine." Harry said not looking at him as he exited the closet. Louis looked to Harry's clothes and saw five plain white button ups then looked at Harry who was leaving the bedroom as he folded the shirt. Louis knew Harry wasn't able to look at Louis whenever he lied, most of the time they were small harmless lies like if Harry took his car in the middle of the night to fill his gas tank up before it needed it which he did often, but it always denied it. Other times it was if Harry took his card whenever they went out so Louis couldn't pay for anything which Harry also denied but would somehow find his wallet as soon as they get home. He headed back downstairs and folded his arms watched Harry as he tried to look busy but was really just stalling. "Haz… I don't care if you take my whole wardrobe to L.A, but I do care if you're hiding something from me that I should know about. Before I see it online."

"What do you mean?" Harry asked as he flipped through his passport absentmindedly glancing at Louis briefly.

"Why are you going to L.A?" Louis asked

"Management." Harry said with a shrug

"Yes, I gathered that myself."

"It's nothing. It's just an interview and some p.r. I gotta go. Traffic. Bye. I love you." Harry gathered his things and kissed Louis' lips then cheek before he was out of the house. Louis hugged himself as he stood up and watched through the window as Harry got in the range rover and after a few minutes watched as Harry drove out of the driveway.

Harry kept his head down as he made his way through security with years in his eyed and unable to pull off a full smile. Because the flight was bought a few days ago Harry was seated beside a family in commercial, but he didn't care enough to pay much attention. He had the window seat and took a picture when asked but he knew he wasn't exactly fooling her. His leg was jumpy as he stared out the window occasionally wiping his eyes and opened his phone to look at Louis' Instagram post from a few days ago of reading and rereading the message over and over again. He landed in L.A.X and quickly made his way to his driver then to his L.A home where he slept as soon as he texted Louis he was at the house.

*********

The eight-hour different brought Louis back to their long-distance relationship. The first day passed by slowly considering he didn't get his first text until eight in the morning California time which was four in the afternoon in Manchester. It was an adjustment that Louis didn't like but knew would have to be done on occasion. Especially when he went back on tour in a year or two. The second day when Louis was checking his Instagram during his morning cereal, he saw the headlines and pictures.

Larry Stylinson Over?! Harry Styles spotted with mystery woman in downtown L.A!

Harry was dressed in black jeans and a plain grey shirt. He and the blond chick were walking down a sidewalk together holding hands. Harry, poor guy was so used to holding Louis' he at first had his hand on the inside making it look really awkward before he changed it. It didn't matter though. Not to Louis. His boyfriend was in Los Angeles holding hands with another woman and had kept the plans from Louis. Louis locked his phone and set it aside as he played with his cereal. Louis kept himself busy, so he didn't realize when five o'clock hit and Harry was calling him inside the mall he was at with Liam, Zayn, and Niall.

"Hi H I can't really talk right now." Louis said by way of answering, the lads looked over briefly but continued to look around the shop.

"Lou, I know you're mad at me just let me explain?" Harry said

"Harry I really can't talk." Louis said looking around before he left the store and sat at the sitting area a few feet away, "I'm at the mall so unless you want someone to overhear this, now isn't a good time."

"I don't care I want to talk."

"Well, I don't. I tried to talk to you, but if you recall you left to get on a plane. So, no I am not going to talk now that it's convenient for you." Louis snapped

"Fine then just listen." Louis pressed his lips together closing his eyes, "they want us to pretend to be broken up...it was the best solution we could agree on. Look I only have to stage with her a few times and we just have to lay low a bit and-"

"No." Louis said immediately

"Louis I need to be connected to a female before the big album release so they can say who it's about. I tried to fight it, but I can't."

"Harry I am not doing this in a mall." Louis said glancing over at a group of girls who were standing just close enough to listen to Louis.

"Louis please. Management needs to link the songs to someone and-"

"They are linked to someone. To me Harry. You’re boyfriend." Louis snapped before he took a deep breath and stood up to turn away from the eavesdroppers.

“Louis we just-“

“No, we don’t need to do anything. You do. I will not be forced behind steel closet doors because your management is afraid you won’t sell albums if you’re completely gay. Which you are by the way. In case you’ve forgotten. You’re not bisexual, you’re not straight questioning, I’m not an experiment Harry and I’ll be damned if you’re management makes it out like that. We are still together! We are not broken up. They can’t just thrust a girl at you while you’re in a relationship and make you straight. I will not hide the fact that I love you to appease your management’s homophobia. If you want to do that then fine, but don’t expect me to do it with you. Now I am going to hang up and when you are back home, we can talk privately, but for now we are no longer talking. I will not argue with you while you are thousands of miles and eight hours behind. I refuse to fall asleep and have to wait eight hours for you to respond so we can resume our argument. You be straight for the next few days, be a lady’s man, be whatever your management needs you to be, but just know when you come home you have two choices. Our relationship or your Management. I’m going to hang up now. I love you and I’ll see you in a few days.” Louis ended the call before Harry could say anything then without looking back at the group of girls he headed back to the shop where the lads were at still.

“Everything okay?” Liam asked

“We’ll know when he’s back home.” Louis said with shrug

“Do you want to stay over with one of us?” Niall asked

“No.”

***********

Within a few hours the girls’ video of Louis on the phone was viral and predictably “sources close to Harry Styles” claimed Harry found some women attractive. Louis rolled his eyes and kept his phone locked most of the days completely ignoring social media. Only four days of the original six passed before Louis was woken up in the middle of the night by the alarm going off only for it to be turned off within a few seconds. Louis pushed himself to sit up on the bed just as it was opened. Harry walked into the room; he didn’t look at the bed only headed to the closet to set his bag down.

“What are you doing home early?” Louis asked tiredly as he pulled the covers around him, Harry looked at him and smiled softly

“You went viral. Management couldn’t make me bisexual anymore.” Harry said as he sat on the bed, “They had something on you.” Louis pulled his eyebrows together and moved to sit up better to look at him.

“What? What do you mean?”

“They told me, but I didn’t get to see it until I was in Los Angeles or else, I’d have told you about it.” Harry said as he handed his phone to Louis, “It’s from Uni days or something. I’m not…I don’t care about what is that video, but if it had gotten out it’d ruin your image for a long while.” Louis stared at the video that was paused already knowing what it was.

“I was drunk. I didn’t know he was recording. I hardly even remember this night and he promised to delete it once we broke it off.” Louis said

“Well, he didn’t or maybe he did and found it in his cloud and wanted money. Either way he sent it to my management team, and they used it to their advantage to try and get me with a woman. I watched the first minute of it but once I realized what it was, I ended the video. It’s clear you were drunk, it felt wrong seeing it. I’m sorry though…that this came up.” Harry said as he looked at him, “I love you Louis, but I’d do anything to protect you even if it meant breaking up. If it meant leaving you so you could be happy without worry, then I’d do it.” Harry said tearfully

“Harry-“

“No let me finish. I don’t want to drag you into this only for something like this to come up again. We paid the guy off and he is on a contract now, but that doesn’t mean there may be another guy who knew you and has a video of you. I don’t care about your past relationships, I don’t care if you partied with the wrong crowd for a few months, I just care that you’re happy and if it won’t be with me then I understand. I do. It’ll hurt like hell, but I’ll do anything to make sure you’re happy. I’ll get you an apartment and I’ll be your friend, or I’ll move to my London home or I’ll- I don’t know. I’ll hide our relationship...I’ll hunt down anyone who knew you in Uni and make them sign contracts and pay for their silence. Whatever it is, I just need to know what you want me to do.” Louis got on his knees and kissed Harry cupping his face gently in his hands

“I only got super drunk and did a bit of weed here and there. I danced nude sometimes on the tabletops, but honestly this is the worst video that should ever show up. I love you Harry and I knew what I was getting myself into when we went public. I’m sorry that it did show up and I’m sorry your management used it against you and I-“

“You have nothing to apologize for my love.” Harry said hugging Louis close, “Let’s sleep then tomorrow we’ll go on a dinner date and if you eat all your vegetables you can top tomorrow night.”

“Really?”

“Yes really. I want you to top. But only if you eat your veggies that I know you haven’t eaten without me here to remind you.” Louis grinned

“You know me well.”

“I know.” Louis kissed him again before the settled in bed with Louis cuddling into Harry’s chest hugging Harry close to him. Harry held Louis close against his body as well, kissing his head every few seconds until they were sound asleep.

━ ˙ ˖ ☆ backstory ! ( tw : death , parental neglect & drug / alcohol use )

the daughter of the ceo to a real estate & construction conglomerate and his high school sweetheart turned interior designer wife , runa ito was born into money . they lived in tokyo , the same city her grandfather had originally started his company back in the 40′s , and although ito property group had accumulated massive wealth and international business by the time runa was born , her parents wanted to start their family where it all began .

she doesn’t remember much about her early life — a blur of employees and family members alike , their faces often melting into one , as everyone had a hand in raising the young girl . her father was a busy man , after all , the parent who paid the most attention to young runa being her mother . there’s not much runa will remember about her childhood in japan but the lullaby the woman used to sing to her at night is something she’ll carry with her for the rest of her life .

a few months after runa turned nine is when her memories seem to begin , spearheaded by the tragic death of her mother . a heart attack in the middle of the day , sudden and unexpected . it was runa that found her on the floor in the garden , the scent of roses that had blossomed under the woman’s gentle care thick and sweet . she was frozen in place until the paramedics arrived , unmoving even after her father broke down in tears right in front of her , so still that the paramedics were concerned enough they carted her off to the hospital . shock . it was shock , she’d later learn , but runa didn’t think that word was big enough to describe the way it felt like something inside of herself had passed along with her mother .

by the time she’s eleven everything had changed . following the death of his wife , her father had relocated them to new york city , something the media would call a fresh start but runa knew was bigger than that . he was running away from his grief , and although the man would never be the same he still managed to remarry , now heading ito property group in booming downtown manhattan . two years later the couple celebrates the birth of a beautiful baby girl azumi , the only thing runa is grateful for since her old life in tokyo .

adjusting to life in new york wasn’t easy for runa . she had never been a difficult child , but unresolved emotions have her feeling like a time bomb with no control of when or how she’s going to explode . the start of her teenage years are marred by schoolyard fights , stealing from convenience stores , talking back to adults for no good reason . she didn’t mean to get into trouble , she really didn’t , but she had no idea what to do with all the hurt inside her . at home she felt like a stranger — like she was just a guest watching someone’s family from the outside . when her stepmother voiced concerns over runa’s behavior and her possible involvement in azumi’s development runa was branded a bad influence before she was even fifteen years old .

her father hadn’t stuck up for her , the man too busy to notice his daughter’s suffering or perhaps too in denial about his own to even acknowledge the way life was unfolding inside his household . he was distant at best and straight up absent at his worst , leaving runa’s stepmother to raise azumi all on her own . the ito’s might have looked picturesque from the outside , but unbeknownst to the public eye the family was imploding . her father’s second marriage was hanging by a thin thread . he resented his second wife for not living up to a woman who had been dead for over five years now , and in turn the woman resented runa for reminding her of the person she’d never live up to . the only control her stepmother had of her own life was spent making runa out to be a threat to the safety of her actual daughter , not caring or noticing the love and fondness runa and azumi had for each other .

if you hear something enough times , it’s only natural you start to believe it , that you’d accept it as a truth . seventeen years old and runa becomes exactly who she’d been made out to be — bad . in a way it’s almost a comfort . that overwhelming sensation of guilt that used to choke her after every outburst was slowly lifted as she accepted there was no use in fighting to be good if no one believed it . she must have been born this way , every fuck up a marker of her predetermined character . she’d given up control , and as much as runa tried to make herself believe it wasn’t her fault , that she couldn’t change who she was deep down inside , she knew the truth . she was taking the easy way out . better to be hated by the people who were supposed to love her unconditionally than to acknowledge she deserved better . it was easier to be reckless and selfish , every stunt she pulls a welcome distraction from how empty all the collective abandonment in her life had left her .

she surrounds herself with people she decides are reflections of herself . hollow , impulsive people with little regards to consequence . she gets drunk , she gets high , she shoplifts things she could buy without blinking just for that temporary thrill . she says she’ll try anything once , danger be damned , her own life be damned . she shows up to her father’s business events long after he stops inviting her , makes a show for the press when she openly flirts with business in front of their wives , when she downs whiskey sours at the bar snap chatting the whole thing , when she publicly denounces the ito name to anyone who stops and listens . a whole year of paying off cops to keep runa’s records clean ( for the sake of the family business , never for her ) , of opening up about his daughter’s troubled mind ( not for her own betterment but to save stock prices from dropping too low ) , of hiring a revolving door of nannies to keep azumi far out of runa’s orbit . the ito’s wait until she turns eighteen to properly kick runa out , not bothering to threaten cutting her off from her trust fund because they wanted her gone that desperately .

and runa’s happy to go . she’s got access to the penthouse of every building her father owns , bouncing from one place to the next as she inevitably does something to get herself kicked out . property damage , noise complaints , letting just about anyone she meets on a night out practically move in rent free — the list is a long one . it’s then when she meets liam , and he quickly becomes the light at the end of a dark tunnel runa hadn’t even realized she was in , because he’s not like anyone else in her life . he sees her . past all the fuck ups he sees her , sees that she’s more than the unstable party girl the press has made her out to be , that she’s not the villain her family needs her to be in order to feel better about the fact that they’d failed her . he was the first in a long time to recognize any of it and she has no idea what to do about it .

for a little while he makes her a better person , or at least want to try to be one . the light liam radiates towards anyone in his life isn’t lost on her , but very quickly runa realizes just how uncomfortable she is feeling that warmth , the feeling so unfamiliar she’s terrified to bask in it too long . her first instinct is to reject it , to reject him and the friendship he’s offering her , to run as far away as she can from all of it . but she’s selfish , and more than that she’s lonely , devastatingly lonely that the idea of cutting out the one friend she really had was more than she knew she could take . she does the next best thing — she pulls him into her darkness . it wasn’t too hard of a feat to influence someone who was used to having fun , especially when that someone wasn’t one who liked saying the word no whenever someone had a crazy idea . liam already had his feet in the water when it came to being spontaneous . all runa was doing was pulling him towards the deep end more and more everyday .

it’s a manipulative thing to put someone you love in danger , to ask for companionship on a stupid stunt because she knew he’d say yes if she said she needed it , to pretend that maybe just maybe liam was the same as her and she really wasn’t influencing him at all but opening his eyes to bigger and better possibilities . she knew it , every minute of the day she knew it , but it wasn’t enough to ever make her stop . he gave her the acceptance she’d never gotten at home and she gave him excitement but that didn’t make it alright . when she gets the news he’s dead , she’s back in the garden of her childhood home all over again . it doesn’t make any sense at all , and runa refused to let it , picking fights with anyone who dared utter he was in a better place . there was no room in her heart for so many emotions , so she does what she can to drown them out , quiet and out of the public for the first time in years because of how hard she’s self medicating . months go by before her step mother reaches out . azumi has a ballet recital on sunday is all the voicemail says , but those seven words are enough to draw runa out , to get her to come home for the first time since they’d kicked her out .

whatever tiny hope runa had that her family had been concerned with her well-being was shattered when she learns the call had been a trick , a false pretense as requested by her father . he had a proposition for his oldest daughter which was really more of an ultimatum — runa had one year . one year to either get her life together and start working under his iron fist as a director at ito property group or be excluded from his will and properly disowned , never allowed to be more than ten miles from her younger sister as long as she was a minor . it wasn’t long after her father’s proclamation that runa gets the invitation to go on the road trip . she doesn’t think she cares , swears she’s not interested in remembering liam in the company of people who no doubt had less than kind things to say about the girl that was infamous for being the permanent devil on a dead man’s shoulder , but a bottle of the expensive stuff all to herself later that night and she’s saying yes , she’s coming , because despite everything she’s sworn is true about herself and about how she feels she needs this trip more than she’d ever admit .

━ ˙ ˖ ☆ personality + tidbits !

aha ... where oh where to begin JSBDJWDBJW i feel like hot mess it the perfect and easiest way to describe her 💔😔 not to b all she’s complicated but ! she’s complicated !!!

on one hand she’s a lot of fun , and i mean a LOT like in a room full of people it’s easy to feel drawn to her bc she’s got an exciting kind of energy surrounding her . she’s that type of person that you know you’re gonna have fun with no matter what you guys do even if you have no idea what kind of shenanigans to expect because she’s always doing something new and not predictable .

on the other hand ? yea she’s kinda fucking crazy not 2 get all lana del rey but SJDBWJBDJWBJWD runa has a concerning lack of care for her own health and safety so in turn she’s not too concerned abt anyone’s else’s health and safety , either /: she’s just following the traumatized girl handbook doing reckless stuff just to feel something and all that jazz it’s all fun and games until u have a near death experience jumping off a yacht super wasted at a billionaire’s party ... and even then it’s still fun and games if ur runa <3

mommy issues ? yup .. daddy issues ? yup again baby we got two for two 😭 runa’s desire to be nurtured and have someone hold her face and say i care abt u versus her attraction to ppl who literally couldn’t tell u if she’s happy or sad fight to the death !!! yes she wants love and acceptance yes she’s gonna ruin any chance she has at getting that by pushing ppl away or purposely fucking up so they just give up on her the way her dad and stepmom did . literally she’s like i want to be loved no i don’t yes i do . don’t . yea <3333

idk if any of you have ever met an aquarius that literally makes no damn sense and ur just like what universe do u live on bc it’s impossible to try and plan something with them and when they do finally message u back it’s asking u to come out to a club at 2 am when ur already in ur pajamas but that’s runa ... except if u get out of bed and finally show up to the club she’s already gone SJDBWJDBJWD

she’s moody 😔 one minute she can be having the time of her life and she’s being really open and fun and the next she can just totally shut down and get really cold and bitchy or really angry and it’s /: truly not a good time ! she really isn’t a bad person but she DOES make lots of mistakes and if you’ve got a negative opinion about her she’s not going out of her way to change it or prove u wrong , in fact she’s way more likely to prove u right bc that’s the easy way out

super super devoted to people she cares about ! even if she’s not open about the fact that she cares you’ll know bc if u ask her to do something or go someplace she’ll do it no questions asked

does anyone rmr that one tweet where it’s like “ hmu if ur toxic im trying to have a crazy summer “ runa is both the person tweeting and the toxic person they’re looking for . duality <3

flirts as easy as breathing but it legit means ... nothing like she’ll just mindlessly flirt her way through life just bc she can ! uses her pretty privilege for free stuff despite being rich . has never been in a serious or a committed relationship and she’s not abt to start now she’s got mega abandonment issues to work on first </3333 is always down for a good time though runa believes in whore rights 😏😏

dresses like an e girl even though she legit doesn’t know wtf that is ...

can’t stand the sight / smell of roses bc they remind her of her mom ):

likes to make very large donations in her father’s name to really progressive organizations to piss off all the boomer shareholders of his company (:

has never used 🥺 this emoji in an not ironic way her whole life i told u guys she’s CRAZY ...

loves to sweet talk ppl into getting into doing wild stuff if she hits u up with a wyd text IGNORE her unless u wanna end the night with a broken wrist or a matching ass tattoo ...

who was that one twitter girl that stole someone’s hamster at a party i can’t rmr her name but /: that’s runa SJDJWBDWJBDJW

lies abt the randomest things sometimes for literally no reason like someone can be like hi im amy (: and she’ll be like aw that was my grandma’s name like no it wasn’t don’t ask me why she’s like that ...

━ ˙ ˖ ☆ wanted connections ! ( all open to all genders )

okay i was gonna type a bunch of bullets here but this intro is literally already disgustingly long and LATE im . so embarrassed ... i’m seriously down for anything though like platonic romantic wholesome angsty enemies old family friends a i keep calling ur mom a milf and u hate it connection ... whatever it may be i’m open 🥺

about:

lennon was born and raised in the upper east side of new york with both her parents and younger sister. her mom being a well known fashion designer and her father being a musician.

thankful that her and her little sister are close in age, they’re best friends. have always been there for each other through everything for their entire lives. even now. lennon can trust her with anything.

they grew up surrounded by music and lavish parties, lennon soon realized how much she loved to sing. her sister and father would play instruments and she’d dance around the living room and sing for them. though she quickly stuck to only singing in the shower once she saw how talented her sister was. sure lennon loved being in the spotlight, but wanted each of them to have their own and shine together.

she was the young girl who would sneak into her mother’s closet when they had a gala or late night function the girl’s weren’t old enough to attend yet. perfecting the art of walking in heels by the age of 5.

she’d sneak into her mom’s workshop and “borrow” designs off her rack for parties, being sure to but the items back before morning.

lennon was always drawn to fashion, wearing it, creating it...you name it. when she was finally able to go to all the events she’d study what everyone was wearing, learning what was popular and using it to start designing her own clothes.

she never thought she was any good, so for a while she stuck to drawing anything she could: fruit, people, nature. anything that didn’t involve clothes, but she always found herself coming back.

in the gossip girl world that was her life, lennon was serena. bubbly, fun, loving to be the center of attention, a party girl. she’d been the other woman a few times, letting herself get close to men quickly without asking questions before it was too late and she ended up hurt. now she sticks to flings, guarding her heart to not show anyone the hopeless romantic underneath.

they volunteer as a family, give to every charity they can. her parents knowing how important it would be to pertaining to her and her sister’s futures.

now that lennon is in university, she wants to continue pursuing fashion in hopes to open up her own store. her mother wants lennon to sign on and be apart of her business eventually, but even though she’s always loved her mom’s clothes she doesn’t see their visions meshing well together. she doesn’t know how to tell her, but she’d rather start something fresh on her own.

facts:

if there’s a party you’ll be sure to find her there, especially with a drink in hand

she only fully trusts one person in her life: her sister

she’s her sister’s opposite. being very outgoing, playful, and down to try anything once, the could charm her way in and out of anything she wanted

she loves both her parents though it’s pretty clear to her that her father prefers abra, since she was the one with the musical playing genes. though she couldn’t help but apply her talents to theatre in school.

she’s always felt this bit of responsibility to make her mother proud and constantly feels that pressure.

where she goes, trouble tends to follow.

she’s a big dog lover.

feels that shopping sprees, vacations, or macaroons can solve any problem.

has a small tattoo of a bow on her left hand, middle finger. HERE.

has a small rose tattoo on her side. HERE.

connections?:

muse : open. her number one support system, made her realize how amazing she was at fashion design. if it wasn’t for him she’d probably still be sketching trees.

best friends : cecilia antez. lavender jones. savannah grey. besides her sister these people are always there for her when she needs them.

fwb/hookups/flings : andrew. open. open. being a girl who isn’t one for relationships unless it clicks, it leaves the girl with a lot of free time. she get’s bored easily so there’s more than one but it’s always fun and carefree, just like her.

The Comic-Con Incident by raimykeller

Stiles and Derek are actors on the same show, but secret boyfriends in real life. What happens when Stiles accidentally spills the beans at Comic-Con?

Starstruck (Or Not) by literaryoblivion

Derek takes his daughter Lia to a convention of her favorite TV show because he’s a good dad (and can’t seem to tell his daughter no) and ends up meeting a special someone.

#OTP: Assholes in Love by stilesanderek (minxxx)

After being outed as bisexual in a sex tape scandal by his ex-girlfriend Kate, Derek struggles to find an acting job until he finally lands a promising role in an HBO supernatural show called Shapeshifters, in which he plays the main character. Derek instantly falls in love with the cast, with whom he has immense fun with, especially Stiles, whose relationship with Derek consists of mainly sarcastic and teasing remarks.

Which is why when Jackson shows him a fanart of Stiles and him having intense sex he gets confused and doesn’t understand this whole “Sterek” thing Jackson is talking about.

Hiding in Plain Sight by inmydreams

Popular talk-show host Stiles Stilinski has to interview movie star Derek Hale live on tv. The only problem is they have been in a secret relationship for the past couple of years and they have to get through the interview without anyone finding out.

Here’s to the Static by matildajones

Stiles spends most of his college break in a coffee house where he stares after Derek Hale. For some reason, Stiles is unaware of the fact he’s quite the musician, and Derek amuses himself at Stiles’ obliviousness.

soulmates tbh by bleep0bleep

“It’s been five months,” Derek says darkly. “Why am I still getting these proposals? You know these are probably all fake marks.”

Five months since the paparazzi had snapped that photo of him with the overzealous fan tugging at his shirt, five months since millions of people on the Internet realized that the birthmark revealed was in fact, the mark, five months Derek was inundated by claims from people who desperately wanted him to believe that they were his soul-mate.

How The Light Gets In by dryersheetz

A Teen Wolf / Notting Hills AU

Stiles Stilinski’s life as a comic book store owner in Beacon Hills, California had been satisfying enough, but he’s been inevitably becoming increasingly bored and antsy with the cyclical nature of his life in a smaller town.

Enter Frame: The famous Hollywood bad boy and contender for Sexiest Man Alive, Derek Hale, who proceeds to turn his world upside down, but somehow brings him closer to the things he knew were most important he had lost sight of along the way.

(Title from the Leonard Cohen Poem)

Play Crack the Sky by WeAreTheCyclones

Excerpt from “Hale Pulls the Plug on the Future of Rock,” Rolling Stone, Issue 1203 – Oct. 2014“Fans and music industry vets alike are left reeling in the wake of bassist Derek Hale’s sudden departure from Smokes for Harris. At a time when the foursome from Beacon Hills, California seems to be on the cusp of rock superstardom after just one double platinum record, Smokes has everything to lose.”

Excerpt from “Smokes for Harris: Gladiator,” SPIN.com – Feb. 2015“Smokes for Harris gives in a little to the pop punk of yesteryear in their sophomore effort, but rather than pandering to fans of a lost era they elevate the genre in a way that hasn’t been seen in quite some time. Frontman Stiles Stilinski works double duty as singer and primary songwriter and proves that he can handle the task even without former bassist Derek Hale.“

Trust Fall [Into My Bed] by ofherlionheart

Stiles’s eyes light up. “Did you see him, though? No wonder the dude is an Oscar winner. He’s amazing. I mean, I’ve worked with, like, Liam Neeson and Natalie Dormer. But Derek is something else – I don’t know, I can’t describe it. There’s just this, this thing about him, when we’re in a scene together, it’s so easy to just click with him, and you know some people hate how much I improvise, but Derek just takes it and rolls with it and adds stuff of his own –” He breaks off when he finally notices Lydia smirking. “What?”

“You’re rambling,” Lydia observes.

“And?”

“I guess you aren’t too tired to talk about Derek.”

—

In which Oscar-winner Derek Hale and sidekick-to-the-top-guns Stiles Stilinski are thrown together to star in a new, powerful film. Mix in feelings, long days, late nights, terrifyingly omniscient agents, the Hale clan, Canada, and some UST, and come out with a long story with liberal amounts of UST and fluff.

Sourwolf Candy by relenafanel

When the Sourwolf Candy franchise offers a $10,000 annual scholarship to the school of the winner’s choice, Stiles jumps at the chance to enter. It doesn’t matter that the other prizes are a day with one of the Hales and a lifetime supply of Sourwolf Candy. The sacrifices are worth it, because if there’s one thing that Stiles hates more than Sourwolf Candy, it’s Derek Hale.

So of course he has to spend a day with the guy who made the catchphrase ‘Don’t be such a Sourwolf’ popular: Sourfaced Derek Hale himself. If he doesn’t, he doesn’t get his scholarship money.

Derek just wants a little sugar. Or a lot of sugar, as the case may be.

A whole case of sugar.

(He stress-eats sugar, ok?

If We Could Match by forestofbabel

As Stiles waits behind the camera during an interview, he thinks he should maybe quit. Because, in all honesty, despite the charming smile the actor is pulling out for EW, Derek Hale is kind of a jerk.

my heart’s been offline by thepsychicclam

31/M/New York. Rich, lays in bed all day, likes to read (aka Derek Hale, son of an Oscar winning actress, brother of one obnoxious reality star and one rebellious fashion designer, hates the paparazzi so much he’s a recluse)

26/M/California. Boring office job, likes to read (aka Stiles Stilinski, co-owner of a 100 acre organic farm with his dad and two best friends, writer of obits for a newspaper, has absolutely no life)

Or, where Derek and Stiles meet online, and Stiles has no clue Derek’s part of a famous family.

Liam has to take care of a very important matter. And there is an invitation...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Liam immensely enjoyed working for Ellie. She was happy to show him her craft, teach him things, but she was also very easygoing, and as long as she saw him trying, she loved him and was thrilled with his performance. Also, Ellie knew about the supernatural, so she completely understood when he looked at his phone after it chimed with a text, just in case his pack needed him. Not that anything had come up in the few weeks since Liam started working for her, but he liked to have this option. He didn't have to hide anything, and Liam realized how much better he felt with that.

When work was slow, they talked about a lot of things and Ellie taught Liam some things about supernatural creatures. She had laughed loudly at the story about the fairies in their garden and proceeded to elucidate the different variations of fairies and elves. There were plant fairies, water fairies, sun fairies, and almost that many elves classes. Just like there were different weres out there. Liam felt kind of silly he didn't know about any of this and one day voiced his thoughts. Was he simply ignorant or just blind?

"Neither. You're from a town where none of those things exist. Don't blame yourself for that", Carlie said. Carlie was one of Ellie's three best friends, the other two being Libby and Simone. All three were at Ellie's age and the friends had a weekly meeting at the shop where they sat together, talked about their lives, drank tea or coffee, and ate cookies. Carlie herself was a petite woman with short spiky hair and big square glasses. From what they had told Liam upon first meeting, they all were elves but Liam secretly suspected Carlie of being a pixie. She was cheeky, witty, always said what was on her mind, and her eyes sparkled with mischief. Needless to say, Liam liked her. "Yeah, but I also feel like I should know more." "You know enough. About Onis and Berserkers and Kitsunes and hell and other terrible things. You're twenty. Most guys your age know how to party and wear their base caps the wrong way." She bit into a cookie. Liam laughed. "My boyfriend likes to wear his caps the wrong way. He looks hot with it. But he also knows other things." "You have so much time to learn still. Don't worry. Even we old ladies don't know about any supernatural being out there", Simone comforted him and filled her cup with some more tea. She was the opposite of Carlie; tall, thin, and the quietest of the bunch. "I also agree with Carlie, you know about terrible things, traumatic things, things one should not know about. Especially not this early in life. But unfortunately, trauma is also experience. " Liam made a face. He sat down on the armrest of one of the chairs Ellie had placed around. "I just could have lived without some of those experiences. I mean, I could have gone without the experience of being homeless but hey. Maybe that's just me." Ellie put her arm over the backrest of her chair and turned to look at Liam. "When have you been homeless?" They talked about a lot of stuff but Liam's life story, she only knew parts of it. Good parts. He didn't want to deliver sob story after sob story. Liam had a good life, he knew some people had it worse. He cherished that. Now he exhaled loudly through his nose and then he told the four women how the hyenas came into town and caused havoc, how they finally destroyed the house and left the pack picking up the pieces. He ended with the move to the new house.

After he finished, his listeners were shocked. "You experienced all this and you still find it in yourself to be such a happy and polite young man?" Libby asked in awe. She was usually full of life and laughed loudly, her afro curls always bouncing around her round face, but now she was stunned. Liam shrugged. "What's the option? Turning bitter? It worked out in the end. Doesn't mean I will ever forgive them for what they did but no one died, at least." "You are a terrific young man, Liam", Ellie praised. He smiled softly. "Thank you."

The store door opened and Angela, Ellie's oldest daughter, stepped into the shop. She was a lawyer and used her breaks to visit sometimes. She greeted everyone happily and hugged her mother. Liam ran to get her a fresh cup and dragged another seat to their circle so he should sit and interact with the group. She squeezed his arm in a silent thank you as she sat down and accepted the cup. "What were you guys talking about? Is everything okay?" She asked good-heartedly. "Liam just told us about those horrible, horrible hyenas who destroyed his house" Libby filled her in. Angela raised both eyebrows. "I hope none of you were harmed." "Everybodys fine. We managed to get out in time before the house exploded. I'm just grateful I got my brother out of town before it happened." "Oh, you have a brother? I didn't know that." Angela loved kids and had specialized in family rights. She claimed she liked to help kids get justice. "Hm." Liam nodded. He walked to the cash register where he left his phone and while he walked back searched through his pictures. "Landon. He's almost ten." She showed her and the rest of the women the picture and they all cooed how much alike the brothers looked. "You said you brought his out of town? So I take he's usually living with you? Your parents must appreciate such a tight brother's bond." Angela was surprised but happy. Liam hesitated. "Landon's not my mother's son. We're half brothers. Same dad. Well, father. Sperm donor. My biological father is...he's a piece of shit. Alcoholic. Abuser. You get it. I didn't even know Landon existed until we met months ago by a pure coincidence. The circumstances don't matter but in the end, Theo and I took him home with us. Not a chance I would have let him stay with that man. So he lived with us in the house. Until I brought him to the lake to keep him safe. He lives there now." Liam missed Landon terribly but they were all still so young, they could not care for a child properly. Byron and Lana were perfect for that task and Landon also liked them. He blinked. "But enough of sad stories. Let's talk about something different, okay?"

****** He was cleaning up after Ellie's friends had left. After he had basically pleaded for a change of topic, the talk had revolved around lighter topics and ended on a very funny note. Now Ellie was in the back, doing some accounting, and Liam manned the front of the store. Angela was the only one still there. Now she stepped to the cash register where Liam was currently filling some jars with bagged candy. "I'm going to tell you something, not as a friend but as a lawyer, okay? And I need you to listen." She looked serious and Liam tensed. What happened? "Did I do something wrong? Is your mother mad at me?" "No. But listen." She tapped both index fingers on the counter. "You need your biological father to sign his rights over to you as fast as possible. What you said about him, having him in Landon's and your life is dangerous and not good for either of you. So you need to act fast. Have him make you Landon's legal guardian." Liam frowned. "I planned on doing so once I turned twenty-one. I wasn't aware I can do it now. Thought I had to be twenty-one." Angela shook her head strictly. "No. You need to do it now. In most states, anyone who is eighteen years old can become a guardian. Look, who tells you your father agrees to it in a year? He still holds guardianship and can make decisions for your brother. If he does not sign over his rights, he has so much time to cause harm. You said Landon's almost ten. That means another eight years of having the right to decide about medical procedures, school enrollment, the living situation. Even if Landon stays with you, all it takes is somebody checking who is the legal guardian for Landon. Could be school, could be a doctor's office, or if he gets in trouble it could be the police. If he's in the hospital. For eight years, you have to always fear for this to happen. If your father does not sign his rights over." "If he does not do it on his own, I will take him to court." Angela shook her head even more firm this time. "Honestly? They will ask you where Landon lived for the past year. Legally, what you and Theo did was kidnapping. If you manage to get a strict judge, that alone will cause you to lose the case. Landon will get sent back to his father and you're probably not even allowed to see him. I told you, I'm not telling you this as a friend. As your friend, I understand why you did it, as a lawyer I have to inform you about this likely possibility. The only chance you have is to have your father make you his guardian." It was a hard pill to swallow and Liam gulped. He had been naive, he realized now, and considered it all easier than it was. And maybe Landon had to pay the price for his neglect. "Thank you, Angela", he mumbled sadly.

****** Liam sat in his car and watched the house across the street. The sun was beating down and these barren landscapes made the air even drier. The dusty roads stirred up sand whenever a car raced by. Bleak. He cast a look at the passenger seat. All documents he needed were laying there, including a pen. Now all that Liam was left to do, was get out of the car, walk up to the door, and get a signature. Angela's stern talk from days ago had left Liam rallied. Once he was home, he had told Theo about everything and the couple had to admit them taking Landon out of the house had been a stupid move from the legal point of view. They had emotions get the better of them and now this potentially harmful situation had arisen. Theo had supported Liam in whatever was needed to ensure he would become Landon's guardian but the Beta was also not a lawyer and as much at loss as Liam.

Thank god for Angela. She had helped Liam set up the documents Emmet had to sign and those documents Liam grabbed now when he exited the car. Theo was not with him, his boyfriend didn't even know Liam was here. Nobody knew. This, Liam felt, was something he had to don his own. Maybe to find a deserving ending. Maybe to test his control. Or maybe this was stupid but then again, Liam could proudly admit he was doing stupid crap now and then. Stiles, according to his own claim, could show Liam a list.

He let out a shaky breath when he walked through the unkempt front lawn. Some new beer bottles and cans had gathered around the chair. Emmet was not there but Liam heard his heartbeat through the ajar window. You're not going to kill him, Liam. He does not deserve you getting your hands dirty. Liam knocked at the door. Inside the house, he heard some bottles falling and Emmet's slurred voice mumbling. Then scuffling steps and the door opened. And the young Alpha had to gasp and take a step back. "God, you stink!" The stench of booze, beer, and sweat made him almost gag. Disgusting, his man. "You. What do you want?" Emmet slurred angrily and grabbed the door for support. Liam turned his head away and took a few breaths. He willed his nausea down and turned to face his father. "How long have you been drinking, alkie?" "What do you care? Why are you even here? I don't want you." "Trust me, I don't want you either. But I need something from you and that means I have to come here. I would rather be somewhere else, believe that." "What? Want money for the little gremlin? I'm not giving you a dime." Emmet swayed on his feet. "I don't need your money. Go inside, before you fall flat on your face. I'm not catching you." Liam pointed inside the house. His father made a step towards him. "I should beat the crap out of you for talking to me like that and not stop til you're whimpering. Do you know who I am?" "A sorry excuse for a worm." Liam pushed his biological father by the shoulder and he stumbled back. As drunk as he was, he didn't stand a chance against an Alpha.

Emmet was taken by surprise but managed to catch himself at the table. He spewed a few curse words in Liam's direction before he shuffled around and fell on one of the chairs with the grace of a sack filled with potatoes. Liam closed the door and followed inside. His nose twitched and he wanted to retch at the smell and how dirty everything was but he kept himself from it last minute. This was not for him, this was for Landon. "How's your mother? Still wailing about how horrible I am? The slut should be lucky an honest man wanted her." "My mother is neither a slut nor are you an honest man. Don't mention her or I break your nose." Liam felt his anger building up. This was a test for his control and he might fail it. "Piss off! She's the reason you're such a weak bastard. Wonder what happened with the other one. He's just as weak. Cried whenever I hit him. Begged me to stop. Just like you. Oh, I remember you. Your mother screamed and cried when the ambulance came. I would have left you on the ground. Would have taught you a lesson." "I didn't need a lesson, I needed a father who loved me!" Liam slammed the papers on the table. "Here! Sign this!"

Emmet grabbed it after a few tries and dragged it over the table. He narrowed his eyes at the print. "What should I sign?" "Those are the papers for you to make me Landon's legal guardian. Sign and we're out of your hair forever." Liam balled his hands and felt his fingertips itch. His claws wanted to come out, his wolf furious at the man in front of him. Years of pent-up rage welled up and dared to spill over. He could kill Emmet and probably nobody would shed a tear. Laughter disrupted his thoughts. Emmet had left the papers on the table and laughed. It boomed in Liam's ears. His blood rushed through his veins. This man was mocking him. "If you really think I'm signing this crap, you're mistaken. Know why? Because you bastard want me to and you get nothing from me!" Emmet was still laughing but decided to underline his words by spitting in Liam's direction. It landed on the carpet between them. His claws almost broke through and he was ready to lunge but a voice in his head stopped him. No. Not like this. Not him. Maybe it was his wolf who was even stronger than Liam's human side burdened with IED but it was enough to make Liam pause. If you kill him, you'll never become Landon's guardian. Keep the little one safe.

Liam exhaled loudly through his nose and closed his eyes for a second. If even the animal inside him knew better, he would follow. Had to follow. All for his little brother. Landon didn't deserve a murderer for a hero. He opened his eyes and stared at Emmet. Suddenly Liam was seven again, cowering at the floor while his father screamed at him and walked closer and closer. He had put his arms up back then, in a feeble attempt to shield his body from the hits, and pleaded for the man to stop. Fear. Panic. Pain. But this time Liam didn't feel panicked. He was not afraid of this drunkard calling himself a father. Instead, Liam felt disgust and maybe even pity. This guy had nothing to live for. It gave the young Alpha a strange sense of calm. Out of the two of them, Liam was the better man. The better person. IED or not. The condition didn't rule him as much as it ruled his father, and Liam had quite a lot more on his plate.

He sat at the opposite of the table and took the pen in his hands. "And why wouldn't you? What's in it for you? Just to be petty? Just to put one over on me?" Emmet snickered. "It will bug you forever, that's good enough for me." He reached for a bottle of booze and uncorked it to take a swig. Liam glared at him. Then he put the pen down. His glance landed on his bracelet. The bracelet he shared with Theo. Suddenly, he got an idea. Maybe it was time to see if he could take a book out of Theo's playbook. He raised his head and crossed his arms on top of the table. "Okay, fine, don't sign. We will play your game. I will send Landon back to live here." Emmet eyed him. "You're bluffing." "Not at all. He will come and live with you again. But be aware. I will be around every damn day." "And then what? What will you do? Punch me? You're no match for me", Emmet sneered. "If you lay so much as one finger on him, and we both know you will, I will call the cops on you. They will come and they will arrest you for domestic violence. And yes, Landon may be sent to foster care but I will make sure you will be sent to prison. There is no booze, no beer, no schnapps in prison. But the people there love people who abused kids. I know people and I will make sure every inmate knows what you did to two little boys. That's what will be awaiting you. No freedom to get wasted like you're doing now every day. Think about it." His biological father still eyed him suspiciously. "No way you would ever let him live here again." "To get you locked up, I would do other things. Landon too, by the way. All to make sure you will rot in hell. He's tough, he will take whatever you might to do him. Maybe I will move in as well. One happy family. With me comes my boyfriend, obviously. By the way, how's your hand?" He looked at Emmet's fingers wrapped around the neck of the bottle. Father and son stared at each other, accessed each other until Emmet snorted. "Your mother raised you better than this. I call bluff. You don't have it in you, weak shit!" A cold, dangerous smile appeared on Liam's face and he leaned closer. "You call my mom a slut and other horrible names, yet you forget I also inherited DNA from you. We both have IED. Wanna find out how much more alike we are? If I'm as cruel as you are?" He gave his father a death glare. "You want to start a war? I'll raise you World War III. Your choice. Either don't sign and feel the whiplash or sign and you will never have to see us again." Liam placed the pen on the papers and waited. His heart was thundering inside his chest. That was not his usual way to carry on negotiations and he had no idea if it worked. Theo made it always seem so easy and pulled it off without a hitch. But Liam knew he was not that good. Emmet grabbed the pen and fiddled with it. He scribbled his signature at the marked fields, an unruly chicken scratch but his signature nonetheless. "Get the hell out of here. If I see you on my front lawn again, I will shoot you." Liam's hand shot towards and he pulled the documents towards himself after the last signature was done. "I have better people to be around than you. Give your liver a break once in a while." He got up just in time as Emmet's hand shot towards his throat. The alcoholic missed by far and his hand thumped on the table. "Fuck off, you piss baby!" The sound of the splintering bottle hitting the wall was the last thing Liam heard from his father when he now left the house without so much of a goodbye.

It only dawned on him what just had transpired when he was in his car and already on the road. Liam stopped at a red light and breathed a sigh of relief. "Holy shit!" He had faced Emmet Dunbar, that one man he hated with a burning passion, the one who had made his childhood horrible and hurt Liam, Ilona, and Landon so much. Against what he had wanted to do to him, Emmet had left the meeting completely without a cut, Liam was incredibly proud of himself. Even though now, that everything settled, his hands shook and his heart raced, adrenaline pumping through his body. That had the potential to go so, so wrong and yet Liam stood tall. He glanced at the papers safely sitting on the passenger seat. Not only had it worked out without Liam losing his temper, but it had also really worked and he was Landon's guardian. The threat of Emmet interfering with their lives and taking Landon away again was erased. Liam wanted to cry.

His phone chimed and Liam almost hit another car. "Jesus Christ!" He accepted the call over the speaker. "Hey, Theo." "Hey. Say, just out of curiosity, where the hell are you? Nobody knows where you left. It's not like you to disappear like that. What's going on." Liam bit his lip. "I was at Emmet's." "Emmet? Emmet Dunbar? Your father? What the fuck! Is he still alive?" "Shh, let me explain. I told you about what Angela said and I went to get his signature. Yes, he's still alive, I didn't touch him. Even though I wanted to." He heard Theo closing a door and birds singing in the background. "Why didn't you tell me? I would have accompanied you." Yeah, good question. Liam didn't know for sure. "I guess...I needed to burn this bridge alone? Prove to myself I can stay calm around him. I'm not like him in any capacity and while I know you and I absolutely adore you for always being there for me, this was something I had to do alone. You understand? Maybe for my own peace of mind, I dunno." Theo was silent for a few moments. "Yeah, I understand", he finally confessed. "Did it work, at least?" A smile broke out on Liam's face. "Yep. Have all the signatures I need. Thanks to you as well." "Thanks to me? What did I do?" "Well, let's say you're a good teacher, even if you don't want to be one. I'll tell you everything once I get home, okay?" Theo laughed. "Okay. Love you." "Love you too."

****** Landon's face appeared on the screen in front of Liam and as soon as he had a picture, the child waved animatedly. "Hello, Liam!" Videocalls were a good way to keep in contact even if they could not see each other in person. Liam happily waved back. "Hey, Landon, how are you?" "I'm good. Zack and I built a fort." Landon launched himself into a story of all the things his best friend and he had done. Lana and Byron appeared in the background of the call but they simply waved and let the boy talk. Liam put his chin in the palm of his hand and listened with a smile. Seeing Landon so carefree and hearing about him being a normal child was all he ever wanted. It came nine years too late and Liam knew his brother must have been affected one way or another by his upcoming but now that he was out of Emmet's claws, Landon was in for an amazing life. After he was done, Landon asked about Liam's life in Seattle. Now it was the older's turn to talk about college, his pack, the fairies (Landon loved this part and he asked thousands of questions). Theo had joined Liam for a while and laughed softly. "He's like you", he whispered into his mate's ear and kissed Liam's cheek before he disappeared out of the frame again after a wave in Landon's direction. Liam chuckled but then he finished his story. "One more thing, Landon. You know we took you away from Emmet, right?" Landon shivered at the mention of his father's name but nodded bravely. "Do I have to go back? Please, don't make me go back!" "No, no, hey, I would never. That's why I'm telling you. He signed all the papers. I am your guardian now." Lana and Byron appeared left and right from Landon. "He did? Oh, how wonderful, Liam." Lana was touched. Landon scrunched his nose. "What does guardian mean?" "It means Liam is responsible for you now and Emmet can never hurt you again. Say you want to go on a class trip, for example, the school has to ask Liam and not your father anymore", Byron patiently explained to him. Landon considered. "So, he can't get me?" "Never again. He's out of your life for good", Liam promised firmly. His brother beamed at the adults. "That's amazing!" "Yeah, it is." Lana stroked through his hair. "But, Sweetie, you have to get ready for bed now. Tomorrow's a school day." "But I want to keep talking to Liam. I'm not finished." Yes, Landon could be stubborn. "We can talk tomorrow, Laddie. After school, yeah? Now you have to get ready for bed. Sleep is important. I'm going to bed now too. Theo does too. See?" He rolled to the side and tilted his screen so Landon could see Theo brushing his teeth with the bathroom door open. Theo waved. It wasn't that he actually wanted to go to bed but he had tried some licorice Mike had brought home, not from Ellie though, and after eating it Theo claimed to have a bad taste in his mouth. Landon huffed. "But we talk tomorrow", he insisted. "Werewolf promise." Liam raised his hand solemnly to swear. "Good Night, Laddie." "Good Night, Liam. Good Night, Theo." Landon stood up. "Good Night, you two," Lana called out and then disappeared with Landon.

Byron sat on the desk chair. "I know he signed but did the meaning with your father go well?" "It did. As well as possible with this man. I was pretty surprised at my control. At a certain point, I was ready to snap but somehow my wolf made me pull back and I got more level-headed." "That's the Alpha in you. Even if our personality or our urges say otherwise, sometimes the Alpha part can balance it out to keep the peace. It is impressive how well you learned to work with your wolf." The praise was nice because Liam tried. Sometimes it felt like all he did was running in circles but then he proved to everyone (and mostly himself) he was a good person and improving. "Speaking of Alpha and peace, Liam I forwarded an email to you just now. Have a look at it, maybe Theo should do so as well."

Theo had dried his mouth and now walked over to lean on Liam's chair while Liam opened the mail Byron had forwarded. It included a word document and when Liam opened it, it turned out to be an invitation to a meeting held in a hotel in Seattle. "Liam, part of being an Alpha are pack politics." Liam whined. "I told you I'm not good at that! What is this? An Alpha congress? I can't go there." "Maybe let the man talk before you cut and run", Theo suggested and smoothly avoided the contact between Liam's elbow and his stomach by moving aside. "I know what you said, Liam, and this is no pressure but I wanted to inform you. The invitation is indeed for an Alpha meeting. No congress, just a few Alphas coming together and talking." "About what?" Liam saw himself on a stage, in front of hundreds of Alphas, a whole auditorium filled with them, and making a fool out of himself. People would laugh. It would be a degrading experience. "Life. This and that. No one is expecting a speech from you, Liam. See I've been to a few of those meetings. There are only packs living close by attending these meetings. They're mostly boring. You stand around, do some small talk, maybe eat a quick snack, and leave. But they can also help you get a better idea of which packs are around yours. In the area. It can be interesting, if only so for scouting. But, of course, that does not mean you have to attend. It's no declaration of war not to go there. Just like you cannot declare war by saying a wrong word if you go." "Those are all Alphas, experienced Alphas probably, and then I show up. Junior McJunington. What will they think?" "Screw what they think. So what if they're older or more experienced? You're you and that's awesome" Theo passionately declared. "Thank you, Dr. Seuss", Liam hissed. He frowned and scratched his cheek. "I have to think about this." "As it is your right. Don't do anything you're not comfortable with." "If I should attend, there will be no problem? I can just show up there?" "The invitation is addressed to the Alpha of the Morning Dew Pack. They seemingly didn't get the memo about the change in our pack but that doesn't matter. The invitation is for you, not for me. Actually, no Beta can attend the meeting. And no Alpha mate either unless they're specifically invited." "I have to go there alone??" Liam shrieked. In his mind, he had Theo by his side. Maybe Brett and Caden since both could be real charmers and have intellectual conversations. Corey would have also a good match despite him being as insecure as Liam in those settings. Byron rubbed his hands together. "Those are the rules. But I know, alone or not, you will be just fine. Should you go or not. This is not something I can do for you. The decision is all yours. Just one more thing, to be fair. you will be the youngest in this group. By a few decades, I suppose. That's why I don't think they will pay you much attention. They're just curious." "Great", Liam said sarcastically. "Given my track records with strange Alphas so far, this will be a marvelous experience."

****** "I don't think you should go. What if that's a trap?" Tim worried about Liam's safety. Liam had informed his pack about the invitation right the next day and after classes, they were sitting in the living room and discussing this. "I think he should go. Just to check the others out. Maybe he can make allies?" Brett opposed. "I also think Liam should go. Byron said he has been to a few of those meetings. I don't think it's a trap", Sadie tried to dissolve Tim's worry and he gave her a grateful look. "The two strange Alphas I met in the last year have both tried to kill me. You understand I'm not keen on walking in a room full of unfamiliar Alphas?" Liam questioned. "I think that should be the reason you go", Ever stated, "to show all of them you're not afraid. If they plan on messing with you, you will look them in the eye. Maybe then they won't underestimate you." "I just don't see the purpose of those meetings. From what Byron said it sounds pretentious." Corey looked peeved. "Oh, it is", Lori confirmed. "But they are not that rare. I don't think you have to be scared, Liam." She offered a genuine smile. Liem returned it cause he knew she was trying to make him feel better. "What do you mean by not rare?" "Well, they're not, if you have Alphas of the old school" Brett took over from his sister. "Modern Alphas just meet up, talk, like Scott with Satomi. They don't even call it an Alpha meeting and send out fancy invites. Those are practices of the old guard, mostly well-esteemed werewolves who love to use those meetings to gossip. Ever seen those movies with scenes in Gentlemen Clubs? Country Clubs? Those are the people to expect at those meetings. Byron's not that far off when he says they won't spare you a look. You're - and don't take this the wrong way - not their type of person, if you know what I mean." "The Alpha from my parents' pack also attends such meetings. They always gush about the delicious and expensive things they eat there. But this woman also has a rich husband and considers herself playing tennis and golf as labor. So, pretty much pompous, entitled snobs", Sadie said. Maya rolled her eyes. "I also know about those meetings but I'm so glad I never met an Alpha going there before. Eh, no offense, Liam." Liam groaned. "Okay, just the danger of becoming the new hot gossip for the elite wolves around. Yeah, I think I'll pass." "I would still go", Caden chimed in. "It's a good opportunity to get to know how many are around. Do you know that? They invited Byron so their radius must be quite large but how many packs live between Seattle and the lake? Wouldn't it be good to know in case we need help? What if the hyenas come back? Having some werewolf allies would not be that bad."

He had a point. They all did. Liam was still torn. For once because he was afraid of making a fool of himself, then for the reason not to offend another Alpha and start a war, and on top of it, he now came to the realization just how different those Alphas seemed to be. He looked at his boyfriend. "What do you say?" Theo had listened to everything and had made up his mind. "You should go. For all those reasons. Byron said there will not come anything bad from it. He would never let you go to any event if he feared something might happen to you. If he says you can go, I believe him. And yeah, it is a good way to get information. Maybe there are not that many packs around. But you will only find out if you go." Since most of his Betas said he should go, he considered. Maybe it was a good idea indeed. Only one problem: "If it's that high class, what should I wear?"

Fifteen minutes later Liam regretted that question. He stood in his bedroom while Theo, Brett, Mason, and Sadie sat on his bed. Sadie throned between the other guys, one leg crossed over the other, and looked like she was having the time of her life. Liam was the poor victim and had to model several outfits for the self-proclaimed fashion experts of his pack (he knew Theo could dress good but at this point, Liam felt betrayed) who all had other ideas of the perfect outfit. "That dress shirt is perfect for you. Not too out there but also not too normal" Mason praised Liam's current outfit consisting of black pants and a dark grey dress shirt. Liam hated it. It was not even one of his shirts but one of Theo's Mason had just grabbed. His boyfriend had not protested (see, there was the betrayal) but now shook his head. "That's not the outfit to go." "Absolutely right. Liam, grab the one I hung there." Sadie pointed at the clothes and Liam grumbled but grabbed them and stalked into the bathroom. When he emerged again, he was wearing jeans, a blue slipover with a white button-down shirt underneath. Liam felt like he was a kindergartener dressed by mommy. "Now you look like back in Devenford. Then again, maybe this private school flair is exactly what you need", Brett snickered. Liam glared at him and Theo scoffed before he handed Liam the third outfit. Liam glared at him too for good measure and disappeared into the bathroom again.

The outfit Theo had picked for him, Liam didn't even know where he got it. He had never seen Theo wearing this particular combo. Cloth trousers, a polo shirt and a sports jacket over it. "How the hell do you get this? And why do you get this?" He asked once he emerged from the bathroom. Interesting, Theo became a bit sheepishly. "I got it for some occasions? Maybe a job interview?" "This is so not you." Liam eyed himself in the mirror. "This is so not me either. What were you thinking, guys? None of your outfits were good." "You wanted us to help you", Mason defended himself. "I wanted to get suggestions, not become your dress-up doll", Liam replied sharply. Sadie sighed. "You're being difficult. Don't you want to make a good first impression?" "A good impression as himself, shouldn't that be the goal?" Caden had walked into the room and crossed the arms in front of his chest. He looked at Liam. "You look strange. Actually, you look like me whenever my aunt visited the family. Horrible." "How do you look when your aunt visits?" Brett had to know. Caden pulled out his cellphone and searched a bit before he handed the phone over. Brett snickered. "Okay, thanks for the laugh. So dapper, oh my. One would not think that since you're almost only ever wearing more casual clothing." Sadie giggled. "Does Ever know you can look like that?" "As a matter of fact, yeah. She doesn't like it. I can relate. But my aunt is quite old-fashioned and conservative. She came to town, we dressed like that, covered up our tattoos, the whole shebang. We just never liked it. Liam doesn't like dressing up either." "Tell me about it. That's a topic we have had since we're friends." Mason rolled his eyes. Liam wanted to glare at him but if he was honest, his best friend was right. So he raised his shoulders. "I have dress shirts. I just happen to like t-shirts and jeans more." "Hence why I think you should wear that", Caden stated. "You are not like the type of Alpha who wears expensive clothing and the latest brands. You're Liam. We like Liam. Why do you want to be somebody you're not? Just to impress people you probably will never see again after that one time?" "That's true." Even Theo had to admit that. "I know when you're comfortable and you never are when you dressed up to a certain extend." "I still think if the occasion calls for it, you should make an effort", Sadie insisted. "It's not about what you want; it's about what our Alpha wants. Liam goes to the meeting and Liam has to represent himself and our pack. He should do it as his truest self possible", Brett retaliated. She pouted.

But then she got up from the bed and walked towards Liam's open closet. She dug around there for a while before she pulled out a pale blue t-shirt. It was a new one, Liam had only worn it twice and he loved how soft the fabric was, it felt good and comfy on his skin. Sadie handed it to him. "The color makes your eyes pop. That and that one light blue jeans you have. If you walk into a room full of strange werewolves, bright colors make you look friendlier." "That's Sadie. If you can't dress them up the way you want, at least get into chromatics", Brett praised.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quite a Liam-centric chapter but then again he's the Alpha and Landon's brother. And he had to make decisions. Now the question is, what will happen at the meeting? What do you guys think? All I can say is, I'm excited about the new chapter.
