Lauren's smirk faded and she began to recount everything she had endured when she left six years ago.
"After we defeated the Garuda, Dyson approached me and convinced me it would be a good time to make my escape from the fae. He made a convincing argument stating that Nadia was now dead, The Ash was no longer around and it would take them forever to find a replacement for him, and I didn't really have any ties to Toronto anymore to keep me around. So, I left".
Upon hearing what Lauren had just admitted Bo glanced in Dyson's direction and her eyes flashed blue. It took all of her willpower not to get up and rip the wolves throat out. Clutching her fist so tight that her nails bore into her skin, Bo turned her eyes back to Lauren to continue listening to the blonde's tale.
"As you are all aware of, the fae sent out multiple search parties in an attempt to find me and bring me back dead or alive. I was a useless pathetic human slave back then. But no more!"
"Luckily for me Evony's men found me before The Light's hunters could. Evony had me brought back to her at her mansion in Montreal and that is where I have been living for the past six years."
Lauren paused in her retelling to glance around the room. Kenzi and Hale were darting glances back and forth between each other. Dyson was staring at Bo like a hurt puppy. Tamsin was looking at Lauren as if she were about to jump over the table and take the blonde right there. And Bo was hanging on to every word being spoken.
Clearing her throat Lauren continued.
"I had traded in one servitude for another. However, this time I was not just the doctor in shackles down in her lab. No, this time I was also Evony's personal sex slave. Whenever she wanted it, however much she wanted it."
With this admission Bo jumped out of her seat and sent her chair clattering to the floor. She growled and yelled for Evony to come out of hiding so that she could rip her limb from limb.
Lauren crossed the room, righted Bo's toppled chair, and grabbed the succubus' arm slamming her back into her seat.
Angrily the doctor said; "Evony told you there were to be no fights tonight or I would personally deal with those that disobeyed so I suggest for your sake succubus you sit your territorial ass down because I am nobodies property and you are not my knight in shining armor".
The blue faded from Bo's eyes and the succubus looked up at Lauren with hurt and fear. Tamsin snickered to the side and whispered; "So hot!" causing Bo's anger to flare again before it quickly dissipated and she issued an apology to Lauren.
Lauren continued with her story telling her guests about her anger towards Evony and her genius plan for revenge. She shared that she had created a serum that could defae any and all fae if they were injected with it.
Everyone in the room but Kenzi gasped in horror at this revelation and Kenzi, intoxicated as she was with all of the booze she had consumed, smacked Bo's shoulder and declared that Bo should definitely watch how she treated the Doc now.
Lauren turned her eyes to Kenzi and smirked before revealing the best part of her story.
"You see I used that serum on Evony one night when she called me to her bedroom for sex. It stripped her of her powers just like I had hoped it would but what I wasn't aware of was that those powers had to transfer to something or someone else. Someone else being me as I was the one that administered the serum. After I learned that I could strip any fae of whatever abilities they possessed I started going after very rare and powerful fae. Inviting them into my bedroom. Sleeping with them to get their guard down and then when they least expected it slipping them the serum and taking away all of their power. Leaving them a pathetic weak human like I myself once was."
With that Kenzi declared outrage and told the Doc she was anything but pathetic and weak and she would take Lauren on right then and there to prove it.
Both Bo and Hale put their hand on Kenzi's shoulder to calm her down so she wouldn't get herself killed but Lauren did not seem to mind as she just turned to Kenzi and told the young girl she had missed her so.
Bo glanced around the table after Lauren's admission and noticed that for the first time that night Tamsin was not looking at Lauren with arousal but rather with fear.
"Serves her right" Bo whispered.
Then Bo, finally finding her bearings turned to Lauren and said; "Why tell us any of this? What does it solve? Do you want me to go running for the hills because you're suddenly all powerful and evil? I still love you Lauren. I always have. Nothing has changed and nothing ever will. I don't care if you are evil. I love you enough to bring you back from that. Let me save you. Please Lauren, let me save you from yourself".
Lauren gaped at Bo in irritation while walking over to the brunette's seat.
"I did not tell you this so you could fix me. I am finally the person I was meant to be. I am all powerful. Nothing and nobody could stop me if they dared try. Love is beneath me, Bo. Love makes you weak. It made me weak when I was a human. Always chasing after you. Always wishing you would pick me instead of the dog. No more Bo. I am more powerful then any and all fae. You all will bow-down to me."
Lauren then turned to Dyson and smirked saying; "Run and go tell your little boyfriend The Ash, you little puppy dog, what I have said. Make sure he understands I am coming for him. And when I do there will be nothing left of him but a three sentence paragraph in some dusty old book declaring he was The Ash for all of three seconds before his gruesome death at the hands of the most powerful woman alive".
Dyson screamed; "We'll see about that you psychotic bitch!" and lunged at Lauren wolfing out as he lept.
Lauren easily dodged his attack and grabbed him by the throat pulling the wolf up off the ground and chocking him with one hand.
"I told you people to behave but what can I really expect from a filthy animal like you?"
Dyson was too busy grabbing at Lauren's hand and gasping for air to respond.
Bo finally lept into action and whammied Lauren enough with her powers so that she dropped Dyson and turned her attention to Bo.
"You're lucky for old times sake I am willing to let this slide. Pick up your boyfriend and get him out of my house now or I swear you will not like the outcome."
Bo motioned for Tamsin to come grab her partner off of the ground and hightail it out to the car before things got worse. Kenzi and Hale also made a quick exit as to avoid Lauren's wrath.
Lauren and Bo continued to stare at each other. The only two left it the room. Bo made a move to grab Lauren's hand and Lauren jerked her whole arm away.
"Don't Bo!" Lauren growled.
But Bo was not one to be deterred. She grabbed Lauren's face and turned the blonde so that she was looking into Bo's honeysuckle eyes.
"I love you Lauren." Bo whispered. "I will always love you".
Lauren stood there motionless and breathless. Her heart beating within her chest rapidly. She hated herself for caring if Bo loved her or not. She was the leader of all evil. She was the most powerful being alive. And yet she was letting three little words from Bo crack through her demeanor.
Finally Lauren jerked her head out of Bo's grip and told her to get the hell out of her house before she killed her.
When Bo left closing the door behind her as she went a few droplets of tears ran down Lauren's cheeks and she screamed. She cursed herself for being so pathetic and weak and vowed that Bo would never come between her and what she wanted. She would rather kill Bo then allow herself to become weak again.
Lauren wiped the tears on her cheeks away and called for one of her guards. When he stepped into the room Lauren's aurora burned of pure evil it was hard for him to address his mistress with anything other then terror.
"Y..Yes Ma'am?" he stuttered.
"Fetch me the Valkyrie." she growled.
