Chapter 9
The bite ended up taking, Liam showing much more improvement after the first two hours. Theo was happy. He had been scared he would’ve had a situation like Derek and Paige. He didn’t want that, couldn’t have that.
He walked into Liam’s hospital room, the man already getting dressed in a pair of jeans and a shirt. Theo flashed his eyes at Liam, who flashed his eyes back in response, the blue bleeding into a deep gold. Theo smiled big, walking over and kissing him hotly, hands going to his waist. Liam kissed him back, arms flinging around his neck.
“I’m supposed to be mad at you.” Liam whispers against his lips, and Theo just nods, kissing him again, swiping his tongue into his mouth.
Liam gasped softly, reciprocating the feeling. Theo let his hands fall down to Liam’s ass, dragging them down further to his thighs, and picking him up, letting Liam wrap his legs around Theo’s waist. Theo kissed him harder, pressing him into the wall. Liam moaned, tightening his grip, hands flying to Theo’s hair to pull. Theo moaned into Liam’s mouth, his hips grinding up into Liam’s ass.
“Fuck, we need a real bed, not a hospital wall.” Liam panted between kisses, and Theo reluctantly pulled away, leaning their foreheads together.
He pulled away, letting Liam drop down gently from the wall, and onto his feet. Liam’s hands found their way around Theo’s neck again.
“You’re carrying me out though, I deserve it.” Liam said, and Theo smiled.
He picked Liam up, one arm going under his legs, the other going around his back. He carried them out of the room and out of the hospital, straight to his car.
He opened the door, setting Liam down in the passenger seat, and closed the door. He went to the drivers seat.
“You should go see your family.” Theo said, and Liam gave him a deadpan look.
“You just wanted your dick in me two minutes ago. I still want your dick in me.” Liam said, and Theo raised an eyebrow.
“And you’ll get it. After you see your family.” He said, and Liam rolled his eyes, huffing.
Theo just smiled, taking him home.
“Come back down after you’ve said your hello’s and I’ll take you back to mine.” He said, and Liam nodded.
He waited for about five minutes, getting a little irritated by how long it was taking them. He walked up to the building, opened the door, and went straight for the elevator, hitting the number three button on the wall of numbers. He tapped his foot, reaching the third floor after about a minute. He stepped out when the doors creaked open, heading for the door at the end of the hall. He knocked, and stepped inside, hearing arguing coming from the kitchen. He made his way quickly to the commotion, finding Liam and Liam’s parents arguing, Liam’s dad having Liam into a chokehold.
“Let him go.” Theo said, walking and grabbing the man by the arm, pressing on the pressure point that made everyone weak.
The dad yelped, letting Liam out of his chokehold, yanking his arm away from Theo. The man flashed his eyes, the eyes going red. Theo flashed his own in return, and Liam flashed his own, golden yellow.
“You good for nothing whore, always putting yourself where you don’t belong.” His dad spat, and Liam flinched back a little.
Theo got up in the mans grill, grabbing him by the front of his shirt, pushing him into the wall.
“Don’t you ever talk about him like that again.” Theo kneed the man in the balls, bringing him down to ground level.
He grabbed the man by the hair, stomping down hard on the family jewels. The man gasped out, hands going to cup his groin, and Theo brought his foot down again, effectively snapping the bones in his hand.
“Theo!” Liam yelled, grabbing Theo by the arm, pulling him away.
“Stop… Alpha, stop.” Liam said, and that snapped Theo out of his angry haze, his eyes flashing once more, his body going pliant.
Liam just called him Alpha.
He whined, arms wrapping themselves around his waist. Liam let Theo hold him, running a hand through his hair. Theo scented Liam, nose running up and down his throat, lips ghosting over his collarbones, up his neck, then to his jaw. Liam bit his lip, the skin going red and plump. Theo wanted to bite them, make them look even more red.
“Bubba?” Theo heard a little voice ask, and he looked down, seeing Lily standing there, a teddy bear clutched to her chest, her hair a mess.
“Hi, bear.” Liam said softly, crouching down to get on her level.
She whimpered softly, and pushed herself into a hug with him, and Liam wrapped his arms around her.
“Bad dream.” She said softly, and Liam nodded.
“Bubba gets those too. A lot. That’s why Uncle Brett has to come over sometimes, remember? He helps Bubba wake up from the bad dreams.” Lily nodded, listening to Liam. Theo listened too.
He had always wondered why Liam smelt so strongly of Brett. Why the other Alpha’s scent was always sticking to Liam, especially on his throat. He crouched down too, and Lily looked at him a little warily, pushing herself further into Liam.
“It’s okay, it’s just Mr. Theo.” Liam said, and Lily looked up at him.
She just nodded, giving Liam a kiss on his nose, then rubbing their noses together. She turned to Theo, doing the same. He did it back to her, small smile on his face. She left the room, and Liam stood up, turning to his mother and father.
“I will get full custody of her, and you will not be allowed visitation.” He said, and Liam’s father rolled his eyes, stepping forwards. Theo stepped forwards too, raising an eyebrow.
“Fine. But when the judge asks why I want it, I’ll tell ‘em you’re a fucking whore, sucking any dude off who’s willing to let you. Make the judge know just exactly what kind of disgusting freak you are.” Liam didn’t back down.
“And I wonder what pushed me into prostitution? I wonder if it was the endless nights of starving myself so I’d have some food for school, I wonder if it was the constant abuse you two put me through. I wonder if it was because I was sick and tired of feeling worthless and not being able to do something about it. So I did. It wasn’t the best option, but it was the most convenient.” Liam said, and Theo felt a new found anger well up in him.
“You two need to go.” Theo said, and the mother nodded her head, her eyes flashing crimson yellow. She was a strong beta then, based on the reports.
The dad flashed his eyes, but didn’t rise up to a challenge that he knew he wouldn’t win.
Theo looked over at Liam who looked like he was about to cry, and he brought Liam close to him.
He was gonna keep his boy safe.
He was gonna keep them all safe.
