Chapter 14: Aftermath
Grayson Mansion
After failing to catch up with Lauren, Angela thought that it was best to leave the Lumber Yard. And she insisted that Wesley come with her, he was hurt and she wanted to make sure that he was okay. Wesley didn't really want to go with her, he remembered his love for her and some of their time together. But deep down, he still had the anger for the Werewolves. But he needed to work on curbing that if he was going to have a relationship with his Daughter.
Once Angela got home, she found that Noah and Oliver were fast asleep. That was a good thing, she didn't really feel like explaining what had happened. The elder led her ex-boyfriend into one of her many living rooms. Sitting him down on the couch as she tended to his battered and bruised face.
As she cleaned the dry blood away, she could see that what was left underneath wasn't much better. "It seems as though Lauren did quite the number on you…" she chuckled softly dabbing at the gash above his eye.
Wesley didn't speak, he just nodded. This was incredibly strange for him, he had prided himself in hunting Werewolves. And he had hunted them, killed them, maimed them, and tortured them in ways that were so horrible. And yet here he was, sitting in the living room of one. Having his wounds treated. "It's not like i didn't deserved it" he said quietly.
"… A part of me wants to say that's not true, but you aren't exactly her biggest fan. Then again, neither am I" she said, continuing to clean his wound.
"What do you mean? You're her mother" he frowned.
"Maybe by birth, but not in her mind…" she sighed, then she realised that he knew nothing of Lauren's life. She should probably fill him in on that. "… I gave her up when she was born, she was human and it was safer for her to be away from all of this" she explained.
"But she's here, and she isn't exactly human anymore. Not from the way that she was snarling at me earlier. How did that happen?" he asked. He wanted to know everything about his daughter. He had missed all of her life, and it wasn't even his choice to do so. He found it very unfair.
"You can thank her fiancé for that. They were together when she was human, and to spare you from the headache of trying to wrap your mind around it. Being with her somehow triggered Lauren's dormant Werewolf gene. And just to be clear, she is still human. But she is also a Werewolf" Angela said.
"Is that why her eyes are different to that of a normal Werewolf?" he asked. He had noticed that, whenever he came face to face with a Werewolf in mid change. Their eyes were black and yellow, where Lauren's were only yellow. He didn't even know that, that was possible.
"Yes, she is…" Angela paused trying to find the right word. But there wasn't one. "… Different, to the rest of us" she said.
Wesley nodded, there was one thing that was bugging him. And he had to say it now otherwise he would just push it down and then it would bother him for the rest of his life. "Why didn't you tell me?" he asked her.
"Tell you what?" she asked.
"That you were pregnant" he replied.
Angela sighed, of course she wanted to tell him. But with the circumstances the way that they were, she just couldn't. "I wanted to, believe me I did. But when my Father sensed that I was pregnant, he ordered me not to say anything. To anyone" she said.
"Not even me? The Father of your baby?" he asked, with frustration etching in his voice. She should have told him, no matter what her Father had ordered her to do. He had a right to know.
"You have been hunting my kind for decades, you know how Pack hierarchy works. If your Alpha orders you to do something, you do it. I had no choice" she said with a shake of her head.
"You always have a choice…" he said, pushing her hand away and getting to his feet. He needed to take a breath before he lost his temper. Then he remembered, the day that he was attacked. "… Is that why you ended things with me? Because your father told you to?" he asked turning around.
Angela shamefully nodded. "Yes, I thought that I could spare you from his rage. Little did I know that he had a plan of his own. He thought that he had killed you in his attack, but you survived" she said, giving a small smile. That was the thing that was most important.
"Survived? Is that what you want to call it?" he scoffed. If this what surviving meant, then he hated it. And to be honest, he didn't think that he was doing a good job either.
"You're alive aren't you?" she countered.
"Barely… If Chris hadn't have found me when he did, I would be long gone. Did you know him?" he asked, thinking back to the fact that his own mentor was a Werewolf himself.
Angela nodded. "Yes, before all of this he was my Father's right hand man. He was like an Uncle to me, but eventually my Father ruined that relationship too" she sighed.
"What did he do?" he asked.
"Chris used to keep in touch with other Werewolves that he had known through the centuries. But my Father, being Paranoid. Took it as an act of betrayal, he believed that Chris was conspiring with other Packs to take him down. So he had his Wife and child killed to teach him a lesson" she explained.
"Your Father's a dick" Wesley said.
"Was…" she said. Wesley gave her a perplexed look, he didn't understand. Then he remembered, Sabastian had sent a message to Chris telling them that he had killed the Alpha of the Apex pack. But by the look that Angela was giving him, all he could see was pure guilt. "… I was the one that killed him" she admitted.
"Why?" he asked.
"Because all of this was his doing. If he hadn't have attacked you and left you for dead, then Chris wouldn't have manipulated you for so long, making you a Hunter and then turning you loose on all of us. He needed to be stopped" she said. She wasn't sorry that she did it, but she was sorry that he was gone. After all, he was still her father.
"There is no amount of apologies that can fix the damage that I have done, and deep down inside me I can still feel the rage. But my hatred for Werewolves, is nothing compared to the hatred that I have for myself. What kind of man, hurts his own daughter?" he asked, nothing but remorse in his eyes.
"Perhaps this is our chance to get to know her. There is no way that we can make up for the last thirty years of her life that we have missed. But we have time now" Angela smiled, taking Wesley's hand in hers and holding it gently.
"And what if she doesn't want to know us?" he asked.
Angela sighed, that was the ultimate question. Lauren had voiced her opinions about her true parents, and they weren't good ones. But the blonde could only hope that she could be the Mother that she should have been to her in the first place.
Clubhouse
Once they returned home, Hale carried Bo up to her room. The brunette had yet to wake up from the so called tranquiliser that the Hunter had shot her with. Dyson was still on the couch, holding his bruised ribs. Both he and Trick were instantly worried when they arrived back at the clubhouse, to see Hale carry an unconscious succubus in his arms.
Lauren quickly explained what happened, and they also noticed that Tamsin was no longer a teenager. She was all grown up. They felt bad that it happened when she had no one with her. No one should have to go through that alone.
Hale had offered to take Dyson home, Lauren instructed the shifter to just sleep off his injuries. Trick tagged along for a ride back to the Dahl, and Kenzi also went with them. And with Bo sleeping upstairs, that left Lauren and Tamsin sitting in the living room.
"How are you doing?" the doctor asked.
Tamsin shrugged. "I'm okay I guess…" she sighed turning away from her mother.
Lauren could tell that the Valkyrie was holding back. It was better that she spoke about it now, rather than keep it bottled up. "Tamsin?" she called as she took the other blonde's hand. "Did he hurt you?" she asked, that was an important thing to know.
The Valkyrie shook her head, "Other than the chafing of the handcuffs, no he didn't hurt me. They only wanted me to get to you... So, if you're a Werewolf. Then does that mean that I'm one too?" she asked changing the subject.
Lauren laughed, "No, you are one hundred percent Valkyrie. Being a Werewolf is my thing, you don't have to worry about it" she gave a warm smile.
"Okay, I think that I'm gonna go to bed. I'm super tired…" Tamsin said getting up off of the couch. Lauren got up too, getting ready to check on Bo when suddenly the Valkyrie spun around and brought her into a crushing hug. "… Thanks for coming to save me" she whispered in her ear.
The doctor smiled, a stray tear escaping her eye. "I will always save you, I promise" she replied, pulling back to kiss the Valkyrie on her head. It was a little weird doing that now, since Tamsin looked the same as before she died. But it felt right, Lauren went into this fully intending on not getting attached. But she did anyway, and now she wouldn't change it.
Tamsin smiled one last time before running up to her room. With that, Lauren went into her and Bo's room. Changing into some sweats and a t-shirt. She had already changed Bo's clothes before tucking her into bed. While she was in the bathroom, Bo chose that moment to wake up. The brunette sat up on the bed, touching her head.
"Jesus!" she hissed, her head was thumping. It wasn't so much painful as it was annoying. It was as if she had been on an all you can drink bender. She swung her legs over the bed, pulling the cover off of her and getting to her feet. Only to fall as soon as she tried to take a step, her legs were as wobbly as a bowl of jelly. "What fresh hell is this?" she asked herself.
"Bo?" Lauren ran back into the room when she heard a small thud. The blonde saw her fiancé on the floor, trying to pull herself up onto the bed. She rushed over to her, helping her up. She could tell that whatever that tranquiliser was that it had really messed with Bo's muscles. She helped her back onto the bed, sitting beside her. "Are you okay?" she asked.
"Yeah, just a little woozy. And let's not forget the jackhammer that is going off in my head" the succubus chuckled touching her head.
"I can help with that…" the blonde whispered leaning in for a soft kiss. Bo's automatic response was to feed in order to rid herself of her headache. So that's what she did, the brunette pulled a small amount of chi from her fiancé. Already feeling the cloud above her head clear. "… Better?" Lauren asked.
Bo nodded, "Much, thanks…" she said before looking around. When did they get back home? "… Okay, last I saw we were in a damp lumber yard. What happened?" she asked. She remembered using her powers on Angela and Wesley but then nothing.
"You got him to remember his feelings for her. And then you collapsed" Lauren summed up quickly.
"I collapsed? Uh, why?" the brunette asked with a frown, she remembered healing from the gunshot wound that she had suffered. So then why did she collapse like Lauren said?
"Turns out that the Bullet that hit you, was laced with a strong tranquiliser. It's meant to have a delayed effect, I almost killed him when you hit the ground. I told him that if you didn't wake up that he would end up regretting it" the blonde said.
"Ooh, I wish that I had been topside to see that" Bo laughed. Whenever Lauren went into protective mode, it gave the brunette chills.
"I'm not proud of it, but I thought that I was going to lose you. And something inside me snapped at that point" the blonde admitted.
Bo held her fiancé's hand gently. "It's gonna take more than a tranquiliser to get rid of me, promise…" the succubus winked. "… How's Tamsin doing?" she asked. In her fogginess, she forgot to ask about the Valkyrie.
"She's good. Sleeping now though, she was pretty tired…" Lauren answered. "… She asked me if she was part Werewolf because I am one" the blonde said.
The succubus sighed, she knew that this was probably bothering Lauren. Anytime the subject of Tamsin's true parentage came up, she would go quiet. Tamsin loved her so much, that Lauren didn't have the heart to tell the Valkyrie that their relationship was a lie. "Did you tell her why she isn't?" Bo asked.
Lauren shook her head. "No, she's been through so much already. I can't tell her yet, maybe I won't have to now. I mean, she's back at her normal age now right? So it won't be long before she gets her old memories back" she said.
"But we don't know how long that will take, we could be waiting months" the succubus said. No one knew how long it would take for Tamsin to go back to her old self, although Lauren was hoping that the Valkyrie's mannerisms would be dramatically different this time around. She had raised her to be more polite than before.
"Maybe we should talk to Trick about it?" Lauren suggested. When in doubt, always consult Trick.
"Yeah, we will. But let's get some shut eye first. It's been a long…" the succubus was about to say the word 'Day'. But then she realised that was an understatement. "… Week" she laughed.
"It has indeed, you're right. Let's worry about that problem tomorrow…" Lauren smiled pecking her fiancé on the lips as she got into the bed beside her. They didn't realise how tired they were, it only took them a couple of minutes fall asleep in each other's arms.
Grayson Mansion (Next Morning)
Noah came downstairs to find his Mother having breakfast, except she wasn't eating alone. There was a strange man sitting beside her. By the smell of him, he was human. So then why was he in their house? "Who's your friend?" he asked approaching the table slowly.
Angela wasn't going to bother trying to lie to him. She didn't want to be like her father, always keeping secrets from the people closest to you. "Noah, this is Wesley. Lauren's Father" she introduced them.
The young boy was shocked, why was he here? Lauren said that he didn't know about her. This didn't make any sense.
Wesley stood from his chair, extending his hand to the boy. "Pleasure to meet you…" he smiled. Noah just looked at his hand, but he didn't shake it. He could tell that he wasn't liked by this boy. Which was fair enough. He didn't know him. "… I'm going to use the bathroom" he said walking off.
"Could you be anymore rude?" Angela asked her son.
"What is he doing here? He's human, since when are you in the habit of breaking Fae Law?" the boy asked. His mother never strayed from the rules, she was elder after all. It was her job to enforcer them in order to set a good example.
"He already knows about us" she said.
"What?! How? Why?" the boy was full of questions.
This was it, she had to tell him. Otherwise he would find out eventually. "Because, he was the Hunter that sent us that package the other day" she explained.
Noah had no words. There was a killer staying in his house, sleeping where they all slept. "And you're letting him stay here?! What the hell is wrong with you?!" he yelled.
"Mind your tongue Noah! Things have changed now, he is not the person that he was" she defended Wesley.
"You're wrong. Once a killer, always a killer! I can't believe that you would put me and Oliver in this kind of danger. You're not fit to be Alpha, say what you want about Grandpa. But he would never put us in this kind of Jeopardy!" he yelled, he could look at his mother right now.
And he wanted to get Oliver out of this house, as long as the Hunter was here he didn't feel safe. And there was only one place that he knew of that he did. With his sister. Even though this Hunter was apparently her true Father, he sensed no danger coming from Lauren herself.
"Noah? Noah, get back here this instant!" she called after him but the boy just kept walking away from her.
"He's right…" Angela turned around to see Wesley approaching her. He must have heard everything. "… I've done too much evil. I don't deserve to be around you, or your children. I don't even deserve to be a Father" he bowed his head.
"It wasn't your fault, Chris manipulated you when you were most vulnerable" she said.
"I could have walked away. I didn't have to listen to him, i chose to stay with him" he answered honestly. Yes, Chris taught him everything that he knew. But he didn't force him to kill people. He made that choice by himself.
"So what are you saying?" she asked.
"I don't know yet, but I think that I need to take a walk. Just to clear my head…" Wesley said. He needed to think things through. And he couldn't do that here. Without another word, he grabbed his jacket and left the house.
Clubhouse (30 Minutes Later)
In honour of them all being back together, as a family. Lauren wanted to make a huge spread for breakfast. She knew that blueberry pancakes were Bo's favourite, and that double chocolate chip was Tamsin's. So she had been cooking for most of the morning. And by the time that Bo and Tamsin descended the stairs, they were overcome with the smell of hot Pancakes, Bacon, and Eggs.
"Is the Queen visiting?" the succubus asked with a laugh, coming to take a seat at the kitchen island.
"No, I just thought that it would be nice to do something special for breakfast. There's nothing wrong with that. Is there?" the doctor asked, serving the last of the pancakes. If Kenzi was here, she would have devoured them all by now. But Lauren made sure to keep her some. Otherwise she would never hear the end of it.
"Nope, not at all…" Tamsin said filling her plate up. She was loving this, Bo shouldn't be asking questions. She should be enjoying it. "… Is there syrup?" she asked looking up to her Mother.
Lauren laughed, handing the Valkyrie a bottle of maple syrup. Tamsin snatched it, but still said thank you. The old Tamsin wouldn't have said that. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Since Lauren was the one that was standing, she walked to the door.
"Noah?" she opened the door to see her half-brother standing there, with her second younger half-brother in tow. She could tell by the look on his face that something was wrong. What was it now? Couldn't they have just one good day? "What's wrong?" she asked.
"I'm sorry for turning up unannounced. But I didn't know where else to go" he sighed.
"No, it's okay. Come on in…" she said stepping aside to let them both in. Oliver was quietly holding his big brother's hand. He had been here once already, but he was still shy. "... Have you guy's had breakfast?" she asked ushering them into the kitchen.
"Uh, no. It was kind of the last thing on my mind this morning" Noah admitted bashfully.
Lauren looked down to Oliver, who was still holding on tight to his brother's hand. "What about you? Are you hungry? We've got pancakes, and I think I might have made too many" she chuckled.
Oliver smiled at her. "Do you have chocolate chip?" he asked.
"Tons…" she winked at him. Turning to her fiancé, Lauren asked her to make a plate for them both. Noah brought Oliver around the table, lifting him up and sitting him down on a stool. He didn't mind standing. "… So what brings you by?" Lauren asked.
"I kind of had a fight with my Mom, regarding a guest that is staying in our house. I didn't feel safe there, so I took Oliver and then we came here. I hope that's okay?" he asked. He didn't know Lauren well, but he was hoping that she would be okay with this intrusion.
"It's more than okay…" Bo smiled. She was still trying to get her head around at the fact that Lauren had brothers. She thought that she was doing well so far. She helped Lauren make two more plates. "… So who is this guest that your Mom has?" she asked coming to stand next to Lauren.
Noah looked down to his baby brother, who was happily chewing on his pancakes. He didn't want to use the word 'Hunter' in front of him. Even though the four year old wouldn't know what he meant, Noah didn't want to scare him.
"Uh, it's your Father…" he said meeting his sister's eyes. "… And given his, profession. I would rather that Oliver and I not be around him" he finished.
"I understand, I didn't want to be around him either. Although I am surprised that Angela has decided to take him in" Lauren said, she didn't get that. Just because Bo made him remember how he felt about her, didn't mean that he should be forgiven.
"Your guess is as good as mine. Whatever the case, I don't want Oliver around him. I promised my Dad that I would take care of him, and that's what I'm gonna do" Noah gave a firm nod.
"I'm sure that he would be proud of you" Lauren said, she could tell that Noah was like her in the sense that she would do anything to protect her family. It was oddly comforting to see.
Noah noticed another blonde at the table, he hadn't seen her before. Although she looked a little familiar. Like he had seen her before somewhere. "Sorry, I don't think that we've met. I'm Noah…" he smiled extending his hand.
Tamsin laughed, almost choking on her pancakes. "You can keep that dude, we already did the meet and greet before" she said.
"I don't understand" the boy shook his head.
Lauren thought it best for her to explain the situation. "Noah, this is Tamsin. My daughter that you met last week. She grows a little faster than a normal Fae. Don't worry about it too much or it will just give you a headache" she chuckled softly.
"Oh, okay…" he smiled. He had no problem letting that one go. He thought back to his current situation. He didn't know what to do next. Should he forgive his mother? Should he go back?
"Tamsin? Why don't you take Oliver over to the living room? You two can watch TV while you eat" Lauren said, she didn't know what they were going to end up talking about. But she thought that it was best to leave the children out of it.
The Valkyrie nodded, grabbing her plate and then Oliver's before taking them over to the living room. Noah lifted his little brother off of his stool, placing him on his feet and telling him that he could follow her.
"… What do I do?" he asked his sister.
"Honestly? I have no idea. This last week has been filled with craziness. Look, you can stay here for the day. Right?" the blonde said turning to her fiancé. It was Bo's house after all.
Bo nodded, "Of course, whatever we can do to help" she smiled.
"Then it's settled, you can stay here while you figure out what your next move is" Lauren said.
"Thanks, I appreciate it. Although, knowing my Mother. She will track us down eventually, so I better hurry up and make a decision" he chuckled softly. His Mother was Alpha now, which meant by Law he had to listen to her. Even though, she hadn't been officially honoured with the title. She was next by default.
"She doesn't own you, you can make whatever decision you want" Bo said sipping her coffee. What was a simple decision for her, wasn't so simple for him.
"Easier said than done, now that Grandpa is gone. She's the new Alpha, whatever she says I have to listen" Noah sighed. He hated living with these rules, he didn't really know the true meaning of the word freedom. How could he when he was bound to his Pack?
"How does that work exactly? Does the rest of the Pack just follow her orders now?" Lauren asked, she was curious to know. Not much was written about Werewolves, especially the ins and outs of being a part of a Pack.
"Well, my Mother will have to inform the Pack Elders about what happened to my Grandfather. Then they will do a mystical ceremony to honour my Mother with her new title. Once that's out of the way, things tend to go back to normal after that" Noah explained.
"Wait, so you have your own Elders?" the succubus asked. She thought that there was only one type of Elder.
Noah nodded. "Yeah, they are probably the only ones that can get an Alpha to submit. My great grandfather, which is yours too…" he smiled pointing to Lauren. "… He's an Elder, although he doesn't visit often. None of them do, actually" he said.
"How come?" Lauren asked.
"Since they are older, they feel like their lives have been fulfilled. So they live up in the mountains, away from civilisation. They like to keep to themselves" he said.
"So what? They live in Cabins or something?" Bo asked. On one hand, she thought that it might be a good thing to be secluded in the mountains. The thought of taking a hiatus was extremely appealing to her.
Noah shook his head. "No, they remain in their wolf form. They're old school werewolves. They were around long before we had the luxuries of today's time. They don't care for the city life, or technology. They were born as pure wolves, and that's the way that they like to live" he said.
"So, is our Great Grandfather anything like Julian? I mean, he must have picked it up from someone right?" Lauren asked. She didn't want to be anywhere near these elders or her so called Great Grandfather if he was anything like Julian.
"He's my Grandmother's Father. Not Julian's, his was killed a long time ago" Noah explained. Much like Julian, his father was just as ruthless.
"Do they know about me?" Lauren asked.
Noah shrugged. "Considering that I didn't even know about you, I have no idea. Sorry" he said sincerely. He wished that he had a better answer for her. But he didn't.
"It's okay. I just really hope that I don't have to worry about another bunch of Wolves crashing into my life" the blonde sighed. Bo placed her hand on her fiancé's back, she knew exactly what she meant. And she was a little worried herself. What if these Elders, didn't like the fact that Lauren was half human?
"What's his name?" the succubus asked.
"Malakai…" Noah answered. Seeing the two women frown at the name. "… Yeah, I told you that he was old" he laughed.
"So, when will he and the rest of the elders get here?" Lauren asked.
Noah gave a small shrug. "Hard to say, one of the Sentinels will have to notify them…" he said, immediately seeing the confused look of the both of their faces. Then he realised, they didn't know the ways of the Pack like he did. "… Sentinels are just below Alphas and Betas, they keep the peace so to speak. It's up to them to do all of the leg work" he explained.
"You sure do know a lot of this stuff, considering that you are so young" the brunette said, she didn't even know things about her own kind. And she was a grown woman. It was impressive.
"It's not by choice, we sort of get taught this stuff when we're kids. Oliver will begin his training soon…" Noah said looking over to his little brother who was giggling at the TV. Noah stiffened slightly as he caught a familiar scent. "… Well, that didn't take long" he said turning to the door, Bo and Lauren didn't follow until they heard a knock at the door.
The succubus scampered off to the front door, opening it and seeing Angela along with Wesley. That was unexpected. "What do you want?" she asked folding her arms over chest.
"My sons, I know that they're here" Angela pushed Bo aside, storming into the house.
Once Oliver heard his Mother's voice, he jumped off of the couch and ran over to her. "Mommy!" he yelled hugging her legs. Angela picked him up, she was going out of her mind with worry when she checked his room and saw that he was gone.
"Hi sweetie, are you okay?" she asked.
Oliver nodded with a smile. Noah couldn't help but take that as an insult, did she think that he would put his brother in harm's way? "Why wouldn't he be?" he asked her, folding his arms over his chest. He was still really mad at her.
"Noah, do not start with me" she ordered.
"Why not? You're the one who has come here uninvited. Maybe you should take your new boyfriend and leave us be. Oliver is safer here that he is in his own home, and that's kind of sad to think about" the boy said with a scoff.
"I don't think that you should be talking to your Mother like that" Wesley said from behind Angela.
"And what would you know about compassion, you're a killer! You're the reason why half of my people are dead. Why my best friend's Father, is dead!" Noah yelled, his anger was starting to show in the form of his eyes as they shifted to their black and yellow.
"Whoa, kid! Calm down, there'll be no wolf fight in my house" Bo smiled placing a calming hand on his arm.
"Noah, whatever you may think of me is irrelevant. Because in this moment, I am your Alpha. Which means that you will obey me! Now, take your brother. And go and wait in the car" Angela demanded. She didn't want to be like this, but her son could be stubborn.
Lauren stepped in front of him, holding her hand up. "Hold on, if he doesn't want to leave then he doesn't have to. And you might be his Alpha, but right now you're on my territory…" she said, then realising that it wasn't her house. She turned to her fiancé and gave her an apologetic smile, sliding her hand into the brunette's. "… Sorry, I meant our territory" she corrected herself.
"Smooth babe" Bo whispered in her ear.
"Anyway, you're only the acting Alpha. If the Sentinels decide otherwise then you will still remain a Beta" Noah said.
Angela sighed, she didn't want to fight. She just wanted to take control of this mess. She placed Oliver down onto his feet, walking him over to her eldest son. "Noah, I know that you have your worries about Wesley…" she paused when he scoffed in her face. "… But I promise you, if I even had the slightest thought that he would end up hurting you. I wouldn't let him anywhere near us" she said.
"She's right…" Wesley stepped forward with his hands up. "… I mean you no harm, I swear. I know that I can never make up for things that I've done. For the people that I have taken from you. But I am new with this whole, not killing thing. But I'm not doing it for me…" he said looking to Lauren.
"I want nothing from you" the doctor said, keeping her hand held with Bo's. The succubus was her anchor right now. Otherwise she was going to blow her top.
"… I understand your mistrust. But what happened to me was out of my control. I was manipulated into hunting people like you. Chris poisoned my mind, in the effort to get his own revenge on Julian. I would never have laid a hand on you, if I had known who you were" he said.
Lauren wasn't buying any of this. And right now, she didn't want to be around him. "Chris turned you into a Hunter, but he didn't make you a Monster…. You did that to yourself. I would like it if you left my house, so please go" she said, letting go of Bo's hand and walking upstairs.
Bo wanted to follow her, but she needed to make sure that he would actually leave. "You heard her, please leave…" she said, in the nicest possible tone. "… Noah and Oliver can stay if they want" she added.
Noah didn't know what to do. On one hand, he wanted to stay here and keep his brother safe. But on the other, he thought that he should go home so that he could protect his mother too. He promised his Father to be the man of the house after he died. He needed to step up now. "I'll come back with you" he said looking to his mother.
"Okay…" Angela smiled, she was happy about that. "… Come on sweetie, let's go home" she said shaking Oliver's hand. But the little boy pulled out of her grasp, running over to Bo and hugging her legs.
The succubus was a little surprised, she didn't know if she should hug him back. Actually, she didn't even know what he was hugging her for. "What'ya doing there little man?" she asked.
Oliver pulled back, giving her a grin. "Thanks for the Pancakes!" he laughed.
"Oh, well uh. I didn't make them, but you're very welcome. Come back anytime…" she smiled at him. She then turned to Noah and gave him nod. "… I mean it, anytime" she repeated just so that he knew.
"Thanks" Noah said.
With that, they left. With Wesley in tow. Which only left Tamsin and Bo in the room. "You think that Mom is okay?" the Valkyrie asked. She hated seeing her mother upset, but she wasn't really good at cheering people up. That was what Bo was for.
