Summary : Lauren fails to distract Bo.
Authors note: It's unbeta'd. At the moment I
have no beta reader for this genre. So drop me
a line if you're interested.
Second, due to health issues, and taking care
of my disabled mom, I haven't been able to
write much. But over the last several years
I've managed to slowly write on a number
of stories.
What I've decided to do is go ahead and
publish what I've managed to put together.
The stories are unfinished, and sometimes,
the last chapter I worked on is unfinished.
Plus, there maybe multiple chapters, each one a different version. Just warning everyone.

Prologue

" You failed. " The Ash calmly announced from his throne.
" Dyson had to save Bo from the Mesmer because you
couldn't... satisfy the Succubus. "
Lauren's heart started to race as two Ogre's appeared at
her side. She knew what failure meant for her. For her
younger sister, Nadia. She'd begged Bo to listen, to stay,
but like always the Succubus knew best.
" How...? " She trembled.
" For a genius, you're quite dumb. " The Ash grinned
down at her. " Dyson has been very informative. Pillow
talk with Bo, and her human is also very talkative with
a drink in hand. "
' Dyson. Of course. ' She raged.
" I'm afraid due to your incompatence I was forced to
have Nadia's plug pulled. Her body has been converted
to ash, and disposed of. " The Ash casually said.
Lauren snapped. She ripped her necklace off and threw
it at the dark skinned man. " You can choke on it, you
rotten bastard. "
" Now, now... "
" You violated our contract! " She yelled. " I'm no longer
your slave! I will never bow before you again! "
" One month under Breasal in the dungeon! " The Ash
boomed at the declartion.
" NO! " Lauren surged forward against the Ogres.
" I won't let you! "
She wouldn't be tortured. She wouldn't turned Fae.
She would become a Huli jing. Lauren refused to be
forced into this world when she had a way out.
A heavy hand came down on her neck, and went limp.
" No. "

Lauren marched into the Dal, carried purely by the anger
she'd been fostering for the past month. The minute she
had been released from the dungeon she had stolen one
of the Ash's cars and driven to the Tavern. Not stopping
for medical care, a shower, or even a change of clothes.
She zeroed in on her prey immediately. He was sitting
with Hale, Bo, and Kenzi at a table. The blood soaked
blonde stormed over to them, snatching Hale's bear bottle.
" Lauren! " Bo hopped up with wide eyes. " What
happened? "
She smashed the bottom of the bottle on the edge of
the table.
" Shit! " Kenzi scrambled up. " Doc? I didn't mean it. Not
a word of it. "
Hale and Dyson got up more slowly, and that was all she
needed. With a swift move forward, she had the wolf
against the table, and the jagged bottle pressed into his
bits.
" Hello bitch. " She hissed. " We need to have a little
talk, and Hale, if I hear one note your partner is going
to get a back alley castration. "
" Right, no whistling. " Hale held up his hands. " Let's
just calm down. "
" Not until I get some answers. " Lauren shoved the
bottle in slightly harder. " I want to know what you've
told the Ash about me and Bo! "
" Wait, what? " Bo started forward.
" Don't! " Lauren warned sharply. " Talk bitch! Or I
start cutting! "
" Everything! " Dyson growled eyes flashing.
" You were spying on us?! " Bo moved beside Lauren.
" No, just Lauren! " Dyson argued. " She had no right!
A human slave going against her master! Giving you
treatments, helping you with cases! "
Lauren twisted the glass in deeper. " And my failure
to detain Bo?! You told him?! "
" So what if I did? " Dyson smirked through the pain.
" The pitiful human can't take a little torture? "
" You bastard. " Bo breathed in realization.
The blonde laughed bitterly. " Oh I'm more than used
to a few weeks of torture sessions. But you crossed the
line when you put my little sister in danger. "
" What do I care about your sister? " The wolf tried to
push forward only to find the bottle dig in further.
" Nadia's dead because you couldn't keep your mouth
shut! " She started to slash into his second brain, but
a strong hand stopped her.
" Don't, he's not worth it. " Trick pulled her back.
She snorted in disgust and threw the bottle away.
" Stay the fuck away from me, dog, or I'll finish what
I started. "
" Right, do you really think you can do anything to
me? " The wolf scoffed, readjusting his pants.
" You're not the only one who's seen war. " Lauren
commented darkly, shaking off Tricks hand.
" Come in the back. " Trick gently tried. " We'll get
you bandaged up. "
" No thanks. " Lauren glared at the scruffy cop. " It
smells like wet dog. "
She felt her injuries starting to wear on her. The doctor
headed out of the Tavern and back towards the Compound.
Once she'd recovered, she'd decide what to do. Including
if it was time to make a run for it.

Chapter One
11111
The doctor slithered through the pulsing crowd of Fae.
The throbbing music pounding in her veins and she
moved with the beat. From one partner to the next.
Searching for the Fae who would be the food to feed
her nawing hunger.
The black leather pants hung low on her body. Clinging
tight to her skin, rubbing up against Nymphs, Mermaids,
and Elves. The black boots making her move effortlessly
among the writhing mob of women. The deep blue silk
button up shirt was like water on her skin. She'd left the
bottom buttons undone, revealing her newly pierced
bellybutton. The top buttons were also undone showing
a lot of cleavage. Her pride and joy was her new tongue
piercing.
She threw her hair back as she came across a beautiful
Gemini. ' Perfect. '
Being a Huli jing had changed her. Not just because she
had to feed from Fae, but also as a person. In College
she'd been free, unrestrained, someone who drank and
partied, but that was a long time ago. Now, she found
that person was back, and roaring to be heard.
" Hungry? " The Gemini purred, running long, tappered
fingers along her left ear.
" Ravenous. " Lauren pulled the Egyptian tightly against
her. " How about a kiss? "
She gently ran her lips lightly over the other womans,
and breathed in. A gold beam appeared between them.
Pleasure running under their skin. A bronze ball came
out of the Gemini's mouth and Lauren swallowed it.
She swallowed it, feeling the power she had just copied.
A soft hand turned her head and she smiled at the sight
of a gorgeous Selkie.
" Don't I get a turn? "
Lauren was wrong. She loved being a Huli jing. Of course
having to feed was a pain. But at least she didn't feed on
humans. Her feeding was copying Fae powers. A lot of
Fae were against the idea, but some were very into it
because of how pleasureble it was.
Leaning in, she began to feed, drawing a loud moan
from the Selkie. Tonight was the first time she was
able to feed since her turning. The Ash had made sure
of it, so she was like a starving man in an all you can
eat buffet.
Letting go, she found herself face with an unknown Fae.
It didn't matter. The woman was one of the most beautiful
she'd ever seen. Olive skin, thick black hair, light green
eyes.
She let the woman kiss her, and activated a feed. Her
hands dug into those thick locks. The power came
quickly, and she threw her head back in ectasy.
" Yo, yo, yo, Doc! " A thin male voice interrupted her
group of women. " You have room for me and my peeps? "
" Marvin? " She smiled in amusement as the twenty-two
year old Incubus approached.
His loud, neon colored flower printed shirt was unbuttoned
showing the plain white t unneath. He had on a pair of khaki
pants and sandles. However, it was the neatly combed brown
hair, with cowlick combined with the thick black rectangular
glasses that made the look.
" I heard about the great turning. " He beamed with brace
covered teeth. " I thought to myself, self go feed the doc,
so here I am. I even brought the peeps for desert. Know
what I mean. Huh? Huh? "
Lauren laughed loudly at the strange man. " So I see. "
" This is Wilbur the Gama. " Marvin pointed to the
pudgy looking guy standing staring at the Selkie. A
croak escaped him and a sheen of sweat appeared.
" And this is Orville the Ogre. "
The second guy was tiny and had the thickest, roundest
glasses she'd ever seen. His eyes were so squinted she
doubted he could see more than six inches in front of
him. He was hunched over. His blonde hair sleeked
back, but sticking up in several places. He was wearing
a white oxford, short sleeved button up shirt with a
pocket protector. Black slacks, and black shoes.
' No way. ' She considered her eyes meeting the girls
around her. Instead of disgust, she found the same
humor she herself felt.
" Welcome to the party gentlemen. " Her smile spreading.
" I do believe we're going to have a very good time. "

She snatched the glass of beer from Bo and gulped the
full glass empty. Sitting it back down, she reached over
the bar for a bottle of tequilla and glass.
" Holy... " Kenzi stared. " What are you wearing? "
" I was clubbing. " Lauren reconsidered and reached back
over for a towel. " There was an underground Fae rave. "
" Why do people never tell me these things? " Kenzi
hit the bar. " Do you not think I would want to go?
Do you not know me at all? "
" There's another one Saturday. " Lauren absently wiped
down her stomach.
" And why are you wiping down your stomach? " Trick
appeared with a curious expression.
" Body shots. " She explained. " A lot of body shots.
Though I think the Water Nymph got a bit carried
away with that last one. "
" Body shots... " Kenzi stared. " You? "
" Oh yes. " Lauren nodded happily. " There were lots
of soft, nimble bodies to lick and suck. "
Crack!
The blonde and Kenzi stared at the crushed glass in Bo's
hand. The Succubus stared back at Lauren with flashing
blue eyes.
" Bo bo? " Kenzi gently nudged.
" There were women there? " Bo questioned.
The doctor realized she needed to calm the Succubus
down. Quick.
" I had to feed. " Lauren said simply.
" Then it's true. " Trick interrupted. " The Ash had you
turned into a Fae. "
" Into a Huli jing, to be exact. " She corrected.
" He what?! " Bo exploded.
" It's okay. " Lauren laid her hand on Bo's arm. " I'm
not too upset over it anymore. Unfortunately, I do need
to feed, and Huli jing feed off other Fae. "
" It's actually a very powerful Fae. " Trick started mopping
up Bo's broken glass. " When they feed off Fae, they
copy the Fae's power. "
" Which reminds me, " Lauren tossed the towel to the side.
" Trick, I need you to get a special item for me. "
" Sure, I'll see what I can do. " He agreed. " What is it? "
" I need a piece of jewerly to store clothing for a shifter.
Including a gendershiter. " She winced at the thought of
the mystery womans power. It was too late to give the
power back now.
" You didn't? " Trick grinned.
" I didn't know what she was. " Lauren groaned. " She
was just so beautiful, and willing. "
" Gee, doesn't that sound familiar. " Kenzi sipped her
drink. " Bo. "
" Shut up. " Bo hissed.
" Someone's jealous. " Kenzi sang softly.
" Am not. "
Lauren stood up and stretched. " I should be going. Call
me if you manage to find one. "
" No problem. " Trick promised.
" You pierced your bellybutton. " Bo breathed.
" And my tongue. " Lauren stuck it out to reveal the
bar. " Fae piercings. I heard from a friend what a
woman can do with a tongue piercing so I figured it
might help me get women, or improve my sex life. "
Bo's eyes flashed blue again.
" Shit. " Kenzi hustled down the bar.
" You've met someone? " She asked.
" Not yet. " Lauren shook her head.
" Good. " Bo stood up. " Lets go test drive that piercing. "
Lauren considered saying no, but she was feeling too
tingly to tell anyone no. Muchless Bo. Besides, she
really wanted to try out the Gemini powers. Despite
the disgust, the scientist was also curious about the
gendershifting ability, and their was the Incubus
powers, plus the Selkie abilities.
" That's not the only test driving we're going to do. "
She muttered.
Not at all.
