A/N: You guys are great, writing a fanfic for the first time had me rattled but the reviews are awesome and keeps the story flowing. Flashbacks in this chapter show how Vex and Tamsin were able to join the light as well as when Lauren first met Kaya and Shay. This story is like a puzzle, a few pieces at a time but it all comes together.

When Lauren dropped off Bo she took off on her bike. There was too many things going through the Seethe's head and she needed time to process it all. She was on the highway now gliding her bike through traffic. The wind passing over her felt incredible as if she was flying. It was good remembering how she used to ride her bike all the time. The last time she rode her bike was before she met Nadia, before her nightmare started. There was anger building inside her. Anger for what the old Ash did, for the time she lost, and for the ways she was taken advantage of when she was just a human. She revved the bike and hit 80mph. It was like she was one with the bike easily moving it through sharp turns, getting so low the sparks were flying up from the foot stand hitting the hard pavement. Every move her body made the bike responded.

The seethe was shocked for giving into Bo's seduction that easily. It felt good being with her intimately again. Knowing every curve on her body, every place to touch, and having the power to dominate the sexy succubus was satisfying. She felt more powerful than she did since remembering everything. Only at 30% of her power before Bo, after she did a self scan and estimated to be around 45%. She has been with Shay, Kaya, Jade and Aurora for 4 months now. Primarily Shay, and was only able to reach 30% in her weakened and drained state. When she had to use her powers to help out a fae, like she did with Kenzi, it was draining to her energy. Using too much telekinetic energy was draining as well. She felt a charge when she was with Bo. As much as she wanted to she couldn't deny it something was there with Bo. They always had chemistry even when she thought she was just human. This was different. They charged and powered each other and that just complicated things even further. Lauren couldn't forget how Bo made her feel. Bo leaning over Dyson when bringing him back to life was etched into her memory. Just like the memory of Tamsin smiling telling her how she kissed Bo and it wasn't even to feed. The sting she felt at the harshness of the words. The realization that she would never fit in Bo's world, she had to laugh at the irony, because as it turns out Lauren was beyond important to all of faedom.

Then there was Shay. She had feelings for Shay. It is hard for a Seethe to develop deep feelings and true connections but she knew Shay mattered to her. The memories of how she felt when human Lauren wasn't enough for Bo and knowing she had to be with others was painful. As much as the scientist in her knew it had to be that way didn't make it any less painful. Now she was doing that very same thing to Shay. Her human memories flooded into her Seethe memories, with that she knew she still did love Bo. If the succubus wanted her back she was going to have to prove it. No longer foolish Human Lauren running to Bo and her every need. No, this time was different. This time she was the head of the triangle. Right now Shay stands in first. Even though the power and connection with the brunette was electrifying, she trusted Shay more. Funniest part was the stronger she became the more she realized that she wasn't even sure if she wanted a relationship. The last one she had made her weak and she was cursed. Following that there was the one she had when she was cursed, which was almost a curse in itself. Loving Bo wasn't easy. Still wasn't easy.

She turned the bike off road. She put down the kick stand and cut the engine. The blonde had no idea how long she road for but where she was right now was beautiful. Gorgeous woods and breathtaking mountains were all around her. Breathless! The word just popped into her head. How long ago that was. Before she was a couple with the succubus, back when she had to fight the Garuda, and how her help was the reason he was beaten. Did the group even realize without her Bo wouldn't have been able to beat him. She shook her head, these thoughts needed to go, she knew where she stood with Bo and made it as clear as she could. They would have to take it from there. The Seethe would see where her heart would lead her, if it led her anywhere. There was also Kaya. Funny how she became important to the blonde as well, what a twist, she was the one with 3 choices. She closed her eyes remembering 4 months ago how Evony saved her life after she was the one who ordered the hit on it. Bringing on the memory of the first time she met Kaya.

4 MONTHS AGO

Lauren looked at Jade and Aurora apparently 4 hours passed by and it only felt like minutes. Her scan of herself let her know she went from 7% to about 9%, not the greatest but at least she would be able to control blowing anyone up. She slowly got up glancing down at the twins they both looked like they were overdosing. Huge smiles, eyes rolling behind their heads, and slight tremors, she crouched down next to them, "Aurora you okay." The auburn mumbled something and Lauren sighed thankful she didn't kill the twins. Lauren looked up at the wall there was a huge hole in it, she peered through the hole and saw Evony's office with all the Fae parts embedded everywhere. Her clothes where ripped, torn, and bloody she groaned looking around realizing the room she was in had some of the Morrigan's clothes. Walking towards Evony's closet she was thinking the Morrigan had to be crazy to send half breeds in that it was incredibly dangerous. She grabbed a deep-cut white dress and silver heels as she looked for a shower.

Stepping out of the shower she felt unbelievably good and awakened. Like she just woke up from a 1000 year nap, the energy was flowing through her, like a blanket wrapping around her. She could hear Evony's thoughts, and someone else, the inner seethe felt a pull it was a succubus. A full succubus and the succubus sensed her. She felt the mystery girl trying to keep composed. The seethe couldn't wait to go and meet the new visitor Evony so carefully chose. Walking slower than normal she was listening to their thoughts. The one place she never imagined she would be was here, with the Morrigan, and grateful. That was something she would have never bet on. She opened the door to where the two were, Evony was standing there in black dress pants with a white top and her whole outfit was completely ruined. The blonde didn't have time to study Evony too much; the person to her right was calling at her very being. Casually turning her head she saw the new succubus in front of her. The succubus in front of her had long straight light brown hair, with bright green doe eyes, light beige eye shadow only highlighted them, and she was slightly taller than Kenzi with a similar small frame. Her blue skinny jeans hugged every inch leaving little to fantasy, brown high heeled boots came up to her knee and she wore a simple tank top. By the time Lauren was done drinking her in and her eyes slowly came back up the new succubus she was looking into light blue eyes.

The last thing she heard was Evony, "There goes another frigging room."

PRESENT

She snapped out of her thoughts as she felt her phone vibrate. It was Shay. "Hey you, how are you feeling?"

Shay breathed into the phone and Lauren could tell she was still coming down from the other day, "That depends; I tried calling you a few times. I know Kaya is with Evony and the twins are recovering, so what have you been doing the past 24 hours?"

"I was with Bo." She knew Shay wasn't going to be too happy with hearing that but she refused to lie to her. Especially with how Shay acted when she found out the succubus she spent time talking to at the bar was Lauren's ex. Reading Shay's thoughts in that moment weren't her most appealing. Although the jealousy was a slight turn on to the seethe.

"Bo? Good did you kill her?" Sarcasm oozed from her words.

Lauren chuckled at her jealousy, "Is that nice? And no she isn't dead sorry to disappoint you."

Shay exhaled, "You were with her for at least 24 hours she is what 30, so a fae baby, Kaya is 1500 like the wolf and she lasted 24 hours the first time with you so how did that slut last."

"Are you jealous? The almost 2000 year old succubus and you are getting jealous." Choosing to ignore the fact that she just called Bo a slut, something in her wanted to defend Bo but she stopped herself.

"I just don't like competition. She isn't a threat. Where has she been the past 4 months, I have more of your chi in me then she could handle. Hope she enjoyed that because I will make sure to last longer and tolerate more. I take it you are no longer with her."

"I dropped Bo off awhile ago. I took my bike out for a ride. I dealt with a lot these past few months and felt like taking the bike for a spin." Lauren replied.

"Okay, call me when you get home. Take it easy baby no draining energy, I'm recovering so is the other 3 who aren't worth naming." Shay hung up the phone she hated saying good bye never understood the point if you are saying call later why say good bye as well. She put her phone down and rolled over in her bed thinking of the past between her seethe and Bo. Evony filled her in on the details. She mumbled to herself, "Game on bitch."

Lauren hung up her phone and closed her eyes remembering the first time she met Shay.

4 MONTHS AGO

The seethe checked Kaya's pulse to make sure she didn't overdue it yet again. Now at 14% she was getting more control of her powers. There was a long way to go. The stronger she got the more control she would have. She would be able to focus in on whose mind she wanted to read and for how long. The ability to put thoughts in their head, imploding only the fae she wanted to instead of that poor fae in Evony's office, telekinetic abilities would return, and she would be able to control the pheromones she was releasing. Barely any of that was in her grasp at the moment. The powers streaming through her was exhilarating. The first time in years she was her true self. Showering and getting dressed yet again she sensed another succubus but this was different. This was pulling at her stronger than Kaya or the twins. She felt the power this succubus possessed. Intrigue filling her she walked back to where the Morrigan was.

When she walked in the room Evony was sitting in her white leather chair keeping her eyes on the succubus. She had a tight grip on the back of the chair as she leaned on it. Lauren couldn't take her eyes off of her and it wasn't just because she was a succubus. The new stunning succubus had long black wavy hair, her eyes were that piercing blue at the moment but against the black hair it was astonishing, perfectly pouty lips that made you just want to suck on her bottom lip, the simple v-cut white t-shirt was clinging to her, the cleavage was slightly peaking over the rim of the shirt, and her snug jeans showed that there was many more curves to her.

Evony watched as the seethe was drinking in Shay. "Allow me to introduce one of the oldest succubi in fae, light or dark, this is Shay." Lauren never blinked her eyes stayed focused on the black haired beauty. With seduction and purpose in her steps she started towards the blonde. Lauren stood still watching as the seductress came slowly towards her. Before she knew it she felt her warm lips press right against her. She easily able to feel the desire that was coming off Shay, she knew she had to hear everything that went on with her and Kaya. Her lips slowly pulled back as Shay purred, "Nice to meet you." Evony spoke up, "Fun as this has been please don't ruin this room." It was easy now for the seethe to take over Lauren as she slipped her hand into Shay's and guided her out of the room.

3 days later Lauren was at 17% nowhere near what she needed but was happy that she was no longer so dangerously low. For the third time she showered at the Morrigan's and slipped into her clothes, this time choosing something more simple, black dress pants, with black heels, and a blood red spaghetti tank top. She closed her eyes and used her abilities to scan each floor. She heard the Morrigan's thoughts 2 floors below her and started towards the stairs. It was the room she first met Shay in. Evony was sitting in one of the white leather chairs talking to two dark fae as she entered the room. "Well, look who finally got their sexual fill. I am so envious and mainly people envy me." Evony had a touch of mischievousness to her voice.

Lauren sat right across from the dark fae leader crossing her legs as she leaned back. With no hesitation and no fear she started, "You ordered a hit on humans."

The dark leader lifted both eyebrows, "Which you're clearly not so what is the problem?"

"Evony, you helped save my life so I will try and ignore your normal charm. Hit on humans is not okay. You clearly don't want to upset me so there are things we need to discuss. Things I have read from your mind just from walking down two flights of stairs."

"Not nice to listen to people's thoughts. I can see you lost your human manners." Seeing that Lauren wasn't even smiling she cleared her throat and continued, "I can't read your mind you know, if there are things you want you need to tell me sweetie."

"Let Vex go. I know he turned on you. I know what he did so try something new for you, be the bigger person and let him go to the light. After all what is a Mesmer compared to a Seethe? Tamsin is dark fae, let her have the choice between dark and light, and call off the war on humans that includes Kenzi."

Evony leaned back into her seat, "I see we aren't going to start small and work our way up. What do I get if I let Vex go? That asshole turned on me after our many years of distrust together, it was unbelievably rude."

Lauren leaned forward her eyes turned emerald green as she used her telekinetic powers to pull Evony forward, "This isn't a negotiation."

"Ooo, I like a woman with powers that outweigh mine its hot, much like you are now," the Morrigan felt an attraction to the blonde sitting across from her. She felt the heat go up in the room and was picturing sitting on that seethe's lap and pulling her into the hottest kiss she could envision. "What do I get?"

"Do the three things I asked and don't try any of your sneaky shit and you will get my protection. As long as you deserve it, you saved my life because you realized I was a seethe but I was brought here so you could kill me."

"Details," Evony entertained the idea in her head, "Okay seethe you win I will let him go, Tamsin can pick whatever side she wants, and no more attacking humans expect for how we always have. I do have a condition of my own. Till you are slightly stronger don't go seeking out that unaligned pain in my ass."

Lauren smiled as she released her hold on Evony allowing her to fall back into her seat. "The things I am remembering you don't have to worry about Bo. I don't want to see her just yet, it's complicated."

"With her it always is. We have a deal Seethe, now what do I call you because I am going out on a limb guessing your name wasn't always Lauren?"

The blonde stood up, "My true name is Acacia but I am used to Lauren, you can keep calling me that." As she started to leave she turned back, "Oh and Evony I will pay to have the whole place fixed, sorry I ruined it."

Before she was completely out the door Evony called to her, "What the hell happened to Shay?"

The Seethe stopped at the doorway and turned back, "She is resting for now. I am going to look for a place then check on the twins." She winked and walked out the door. Evony was ecstatic. Seethes were real and she had the only living one with all her dark fae.

PRESENT

The cooler air blowing through Lauren's hair made her realize it was getting later. She pulled the helmet back over her head and revved the engine. Becoming one with the bike she swayed back onto the street and headed towards home. It felt good getting away for a bit, and being able to just think. She found it amusing that her feelings were causing so much conflict in her. The seethe fighting who she became, but she was one in the same. She was the seethe with the human memories. Allowed to think and feel like a human and those feelings were confusing her inner seethe but she was learning to accept them. Accept that she still did love Bo that it was possible she did love Shay. The main question was she in love with either of them? She was in love with Bo when she thought she was human, she was positive about that. She was wondering if she could still be or if she would be. It was possible, there were myths of Seethe's making deep emotional connections but according to those same stories it was rare.

As she accelerated down the road she thought of the first time she saw Bo again. She was with Shay for the past eight days and the stubborn succubus was supposed to be at home resting. Lauren clearly remembered lounging in her penthouse trying to control her needs when she saw the text that Shay was going to the Dal. It snapped her right out of her thoughts because she never told Shay about Bo. She couldn't figure out why she didn't, what held her back, but either way she didn't. Of course there was the possibility that Bo wasn't at the Dal but she was sure Trick would be and that could lead to Bo. She remembered grabbing those low-cut black leather pants, the black mesh body suit that was so high cut it was just shy of her bottom rib, and her open toe heeled boots that went just above the ankle. Thinking back now she wondered if she picked that outfit in the hopes of seeing Bo. She dressed differently that was obvious, because she was different. No longer that shy and awkward human, this time she was the powerful one. This time she wouldn't stumble over words. As soon as she arrived at the Dal she closed her eyes and reached out. Immediately she was reading Shay's thoughts and she knew Shay was telling people about her. How she almost lost control. Lauren had to laugh at the strong succubus and her admission. It wasn't her strong suite. Lauren reached further out reading the thoughts of the people Shay was talking to and it didn't take her long to realize the group that her new succubus was talking to. She remembered Bo's first thoughts upon learning that Lauren was the Seethe that Shay just described. Relief that Lauren was okay, worry that the Morrigan found her first, upset that she wasn't the one to find me, and anger at the fact that Shay was sleeping with Lauren. It was at that moment that Lauren pushed through the doors and looked at the dumbfounded faces on her friends, and all she could say was "Miss me?"

Smiling to herself about the memory she realized there was still a lot left for her to figure out. For now she wasn't going to think about Bo, Shay or Kaya anymore. Now she was just going to enjoy the feeling of the air whistling past her.

CRACK SHACK

Dyson walked in with a few pizzas, he saw Bo looking more determined than she did in a long time with luminous blue eyes. He knew Tamsin and Vex went there ahead of him to tell her about the Morrigan's new plan and judging by her eyes she wasn't taking the news so well. "Bo you will get Lauren back. You have all of us helping you. She is going through some changes. These memories have to be a lot on her. The bigger question right now is the Morrigan. Is she just trying to keep you both apart so Lauren favors the dark or did she catch wind of the prophecy?"

This seemed to snap Bo out of her trance, "The prophecy doesn't mean anything to me. Getting Lauren back does, and I will get her back." She grabbed a piece of pizza, "Screw the Morrigan I know exactly what she is doing and I wouldn't expect anything less. I am not worried about your light fae succubus. The main one in my way is Shay."

Vex grabbed a slice of pizza, "That love is a big problem." He took a bite of the pizza and saw everyone glaring at him, "What? I am just being honest."

A fireball flew past Vex he ducked out of the way and looked at Kenzi. She smiled, "You deserved it. Don't be mean dude. Eat your pizza and shut it."

"Maybe your ex can get her all powerful fae god to take your, wolfs mate for life shit, and give it back to you," Tamsin casually said as she took a slice of pizza.

Bo peered at Dyson before talking to Tamsin, "Can she do that?" Tamsin just shrugged. Hale rubbed his arm, "Who knows what she is capable of. You tapped my arm before and I felt like I was hit by a speed ball. That's from her chi being in you. Maybe she can give my boy back his swagger."

The succubus headed to Dyson as she gently touched his arm, "If it is possible I would do it. I am sorry Dyson. I never meant to hurt you. My heart chose long before my mind realized it." Dyson put his hand over Bo's and nodded knowing exactly what she meant.

The wolf shifter couldn't help but ask, "What makes you so willing to throw in the towel with Lauren? Just when you seem like your old determined self you step back, it's not like you Bo."

She shrugged at the statement. "Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve her back. I do snap out of it and realize I made a huge mistake. Proving it to her is my only chance. I am determined now more than ever."

"Guys, getting kind of tense in here. My head is going to explode. We have spent months trying to get you back Bo-bo while chasing leads on Lauren. We got you back then it was all getting our necks shit deep in trouble looking for Lauren. Let's have fun. Now tell me all about the penthouse." Kenzi gave Hale a kiss before looking back at Bo.

Bo laughed at her petite friend, "Ok, ok, I know you aren't going to let it go since you heard the word penthouse. It was on the far north side of town on the cusp or dark and light. When we got there a light fae was the front guard and when we left it was a dark fae so I assume they change because of where the building is."

Kenzi threw her hands up and leaned over pretending to snore, "Blah, blah, no one cares blah."

"She had a ton of rooms. I can't remember them all it's not like I was looking at her décor. I'll try, um; there was a huge master bedroom with a master bath, a gigantic walk in closet that was the size of my room here, kitchen, sitting room, study, and a huge outside. Behind the glass sliding doors I could see one of those pools that looked like it is overflowing but it's not."

Tamsin did her famous eye roll, "An infinity pool."

Kenzi shushed Tamsin, "You lost me at gigantic closet, and by chance does this gigantic closet have tons of boots?" Bo nodded at her friend. "I think I might cry. I love that seethe."

Dyson's phone rang and he stepped out into the living room to answer it. He was only on for a few minutes before he returned, "It was Trick he's checking with some contacts to try and see who the Ash will want for Lauren. All we know is he is going to want to find the oldest light fae succubus he can find. What did Lauren say about this?"

Bo put down her pizza, "Oh shit. I should call her right? Do I call her? I just was with her is it crazy stalker looking for a reason to call you or is it a friend letting her know what her dark fae crazy leader bitch did?"

Tamsin put her hand out, "You are always a pain in the ass. Give me the phone I will give her a call."

The brunette ignored the Valkyrie while she dialed Lauren's number and listened as it started to ring. Lauren was just putting the gas cap back on her bike when she felt her phone vibrating. She took it out of her pocket and looked. There was no name by the number but she recognized the phone number instantly. She couldn't help but smile, "Hey Bo."

"Lauren hey, I just caught wind of something and was checking to see if you knew since I know you are friends with Evony." Even through the phone the feeling that took over her at hearing the seethe's voice was astonishing. Kenzi yelled from the background, "I want to see your new place hot fae goddess." Bo eyed Kenzi.

The seethe laughed, it was incredible how much she changed but how this group stayed the same. With the exception of Vex and Tamsin joining the light and Kenzi becoming a hybrid, they were all the same. She was the one who changed. "What did she do now?"

"She called the Ash and told him she wanted to give the peace between the light and dark another chance."

Before Bo could even finish Lauren spoke up, "You sure it was Evony. Maybe it was a lyre fae they can imitate voices. Calling peace doesn't sound like the Morrigan."

Bo chuckled at that statement, "There was a stipulation. She told the Ash about you. Said she didn't want to seem like she was keeping you all to the dark fae and that her succubi were resting trying to restore your energy. She suggested maybe he gets some light fae to help out."

Anger instantly filled Lauren. Once again someone was trying to control her life. It made her feel like a slave again. She had an understanding with Evony and in her own way came to appreciate the leader of the dark. She knew not to trust her but she grew on the seethe. She practically growled into the phone, "WHAT?!"

"Okay so then she didn't do this with you knowing. You dropped me off and left so I didn't know if maybe you were with her when this decision was made. I figured I would be a friend and give you a call to make sure you knew."

Fury was still going through the seethe but she managed to not scream in the phone, "Why would she do that? Shay will be enraged. Plus I think I am capable of picking who I want. I know I can be draining but if I have to wait a few days while they recoup then I can handle it. I am more in control now."

The succubus couldn't resist Lauren left it open so to hell with it. "I wasn't drained." She paused, "I think that's the point of them coming together. They are hoping you favor light or dark not me the unaligned one. Or maybe the Morrigan figured out the prophecy and wasn't too thrilled with that. You know how these leaders take prophecies so serious."

The rage was coming down a bit in the seethe. She knew Evony was hoping that she would favor the dark. She read that from her mind long ago. What raised her interest and brought down the rage a degree was the last thing her former lover said. "What prophecy?" was all the seethe could say.
