Bo/Lauren
Rated M
Enjoy.
Bo eyes shot open. The first thing she saw was the oakwood ceiling fan, watching it spin around and around...She sudden felt empty.
She felt cold.
Where was Lauren? She never left her in bed alone at night. Sitting up, Bo felt the coldness deep in her bones, it started to make her uncomfortable.
"Lauren?" Bo called out as flashes of blood and screams suddenly hit her. Closing her eyes, she could see Lauren dripping in blood screaming at her.
"NOOO!" Bo screamed falling out the bed, the bedroom door suddenly opened. Lyric, Kenzi, and The rest of the group came rushing in to the aid of their Alpha female.
"Bo!" Kenzi ran to her fallen friend, Bo grabbed her tightly looking into her eyes with fear.
"W...Where is Lauren? I feel cold...Where is she?" Bo demanded as Lyric pulled the two women up and grabbed Bo's hands in hers.
"Bo calm down okay. Sit down for me" Lyric pushed her gently down on the bed.
"Lyric what happened?" Bo asked rubbing her chest.
"We got caught. We managed to get the baby out but Lauren got caught" Bo shot up but Lyric grabbed her.
"Why the fuck are we doing here! You guys left her! We need to get her back!" Bo yelled.
"Bo you been asleep for two weeks" Tyro told the succubus.
"Oh my God" Bo whispered as tears started to fall as everything started to come back to her. She covered her mouth with her hand as she looked up at Lyric.
"The baby…" Bo asked as she saw Lyric shake her head. Tyro wiped at her eyes at the mention of her nephew.
"We lost Pyro as well. They are resting in the north wing of the house" Lyric told the crying succubus. Kenzi hugged her sobbing friend, she had cried her eyes out already...she didn't have anymore tears left to cry...or she thought.
"I still don't understand why I feel this way, is Lauren dead? I can't feel her anymore at all" Bo said rubbing the ache in her chest.
"It's the mating bond, you broke it"
"Bullshit. I would never do that" Bo snapped at Lyric.
"Well you did. You broke it completely, I can't feel you like I use to. But I still feel connected somehow" Lyric explained.
"Might be the baby." Tyro whispered to herself. As she folding her arms.
"Ethan?" Bo asked not hearing Tyro.
"Still sleep, but everything will be confusing for him with Lauren gone" Tyro said as Bo sat there shocked.
"I wouldn't break the bond so easily like that without a good re-
"Bo you're pregnant" Kenzi dropped the bomb. Lyric nodded putting her hand on the woman's shoulder.
"You had to break the bond to save your baby. If you kept the bond intact, the toxin would have killed the baby" Lyric told her standing up from the bed. Bo laid her hands on her stomach and started to cry. Her mate was probably dead somewhere and she was pregnant with a powerful Fae slash cat shifter.
Oh my God.
She was carrying Lauren's child. The broken look in Sara's eyes when they found her son broke Bo heart. Hugging her stomach, her sob got louder as Kenzi laid down behind her wrapping her arm around her friend and let her cry. Everybody left giving the succubus some space.
"Lauren…" Bo whispered brokenly.

Two week stuck in her shifter form, Lauren started to lose her humanity. The change was brutal, she felt empty, lost, enraged. Her body count has doubled this week, humans..Faes...It didn't matter.
She wanted blood...She didn't care whose
Sara has been keeping tabs on the unstable lion. After the massacre with the UnderFae's, Sara and Lauren escaped barely. Thanks to Sara's Aunt, she got them out of there before any of the Elders caught wind of the two shifters. Sara was sad, heartbroken actually. She lost her family. Lauren had successful changed into a UnderFae, her baby boy was dead but not dead, and her oldest was in a coma.
And her shifter stopped fighting the UnderFae inside her.
She was dying with everyday that past. Watching the lion sniff around the grass around them, Sara sat on top of a raised rock. They were hiding out in a cave a couple miles away, watching Lauren go completely feral was scary and heartbreaking. She was a feral UnderFae shifter, no humanity left in her body. She was no better than the animals who roam their land occasionally. Lauren knows she's Alpha...even now. Only thing that saved Sara from sudden death was her submission to the stronger shifter. They were their own pack now. Sara clicked her tongue against her teeth loudly catching the lion attention, Lauren came running at her shaking out her black fur. Her red eyes looking at Sara. Walking closer, the lion rubbed his muzzle against the human's face. This human smelled nice, sitting down next to her...Lauren started to lick herself. Sara rubbed her fingers through the black fur.
"I'll keep you safe" Sara vowed to the distracted lion, she made it her mission to get Bo and Lauren back to each before she dies. The unborn child living in the succubus's womb needed Lauren, Ethan needed Lauren...Her pack needed Lauren. Sara was banking on the love of that to bring to the woman back to herself. Sara was confused as to why Lauren is stuck in feral mode, the only explanation was the broken mating bond. Bo broke it willingly and the pain was too much to bare and she shifted to handle it and on top of that...the toxin was making it's way through her system as well.
Bo was the only one who could turn shifter Lauren back to human Lauren.
"We need to contact Lyric" Sara told the lion as the big cat laid its head on her lap pushing her down on her back. Kissing the cat nose, Sara hugged the big cat.
"Okay we can lie down for a minute but, we really need to keep moving" Sara told the lion. Snuggling closer to the warm cat, Sara found herself falling asleep.

"We can't just lay low here, we need to come up with a plan to get Lauren back" Tyro said sitting in Lauren chair. She had ordered a meeting, she couldn't just sleep warmly in her sister's house knowing the shifter was somewhere cold and hungry.
"She could be dead for all we know, it's too risky to go back" One of the packmate said. Lyric shook her head walking over to her seat.
"Tyro would know if she was dead. Sara is most likely alive as well and their together. Lauren went completely feral in her lion form, I bet money she stuck and Sara is hiding her" Lyric said.
"Lyric...If She's stuck in her lion form, you remember the last time that happened? Hundreds lost their lives" Tyro said in fear. When Sara died, Lauren went completely feral and killed a village of children, women, men...animals. It was torture to witness and clean up. Ethan barely manage to save her.
"Hopefully Sara has her isolated from humanity, but that's fruitless though." Lyric mumbled, Tamsin wanted to sooth her mate's worries but she knew Lyric needed to focus right now. Tamsin hasn't seen Bo yet because she didn't know what to say. Tamsin didn't do the whole consoling crying thing. So she hung out with the shifters to try and create a game plan to get their Alpha back.
Ring!
Ring!
Ring!
Everybody froze. Lyric looked at Tyro.
"No one knows this number Lyric" Tyro said. Lyric lunged for the phone and pressed it to her ear. She could hear breathing on the other line.
"Lyric…" Sara voice hit her ears, Lyric fell to her knees in relief.
"Thank God! Sara" Lyric said looking up at Tyro fell back in her seat in relief.
"Put me on speaker" Sara told her, Lyric quickly pressed the speaker and turned the volume up.
"Everyone is here Sara"
"Roll call" Sara suddenly said, in the battle she was certain they lost a shifter. Lyric shook her head at them to stay quiet. She leaned into the speaker.
"It's Pyro Sara" Lyric said still hurt from the death of a packmate.
"Fuck…" Sara choked out with emotions.
"Lauren is okay. She is stuck in her lion form though, it seems she don't understand how to shift back or she refuses to. Where's Bo...Bo can you hear me?" Sara called on the succubus.
"She's not feeling well" Tyro told the panther.
"She needs to hear this, go get her now" Lyric nodded to the closest shifter to retrieve the woman.
"What is it Sara?" Lyric asked.
"It seem like the succubus wasn't so loyal after all" Sara said as Tamsin frown but then gasped in horror.
"She didn't…" Tamsin said as Lyric looked at her mate confused.
"What did she do?" Lyric asked but Bo came walking into the room silencing Everybody. Kenzi was behind her.
"Sara! Is Lauren okay?" Bo rushed the phone.
"I have trusted my family and my pack in your hands. I have swallowed my pride and took defeat with dignity. But somehow your loyalty to my family shifted once again, I really trusted you and you broke that trust Bo." Sara voice echoed through the room. Bo was confused at what the hell the shifter was talking about.
"Sara wh-
"Don't play dumb Bo, you thought you was slick but Lauren is way more slicker. I hope you said your goodbye to the wolf because Lauren is still picking fur out of her teeth"
"No!" Kenzi yelled, Bo had revealed to her one night about her mission to get Dyson back to the light Fae.
"What is she talking about Bo!" Tyro yelled glaring at the succubus.
"D...Dyson is dead?" Bo asked ignoring the angry shifter.
"You thought Lauren really trusted you with him, she knew you were going to try and save him. You failed that test horribly, now he's dead...good riddance" Bo felt tears clouded her vision.
"Now that's out the way, we need to get Lauren back to Africa. I need the plane here like yesterday, she has completely lost all human traits. We are being hunted by both Dark and Light but Lauren has kept us safe." Sara told them through the speakers. Sara has seen Lauren out of control before but this was to a whole new level of feral...horror. What she did to Dyson was something Sara knew she would have many nightmares about.
So much blood.
Lauren painted the woods with his blood.
"Where are you? I can fly to you right now" Lyric said grabbing the phone.
"Outskirts of Toronto, deep in the woods in a little cave. I will hear you before you see me"
"Keep her safe. We're coming"
"Hurry I don't know how long I can keep her from killing again" Sara manage to say before hanging up. The room was silent until Lyric picked the phone up and shattered it against the wall.
"Why?" Was all Lyric said. Tamsin took a step towards the shifter but Lyric angry eyes stopped her. Bo felt so ashamed as she looked into the eyes of her pack.
"I...I...couldn't-
"We gave our loyalty to you and you betray us like this!" Bo got up to rush to Lyric but Lyric stepped back.
"Don't come near me, I swear if you wasn't pregnant…
Lyric growled rushing out the room as Tamsin followed silently. Tyro just sat there in shocked and rage. She envied her sister for getting the chance to deliver the wolf's ticket to the afterlife. She was curious to what her sister did.
"Knowing Lauren and knowing that she went feral...only tells me that Dyson's death was all but quick and easy...I fear to know the details" Tyro said as Bo let a few tears fall down her face.
"I'm sorry you guys, I didn't mean to betray you. I couldn't sit back and watch you guys kill him." Bo said but Tyro growled viciously as she shot out her seat.
"You couldn't sit back and watch us kill him! But I had to sit and watch my sister...my Alpha! Fall apart right in front of me. She went feral and stop living like a human being, Lyric and I had to care for little Ethan while his Mother ate at her own fur, ripping chunks of skin off her own body because she couldn't handle the pain. She healed...but that didn't stop her from putting a gun to her head and trying to blow her brains all over her expensive white Italian rug" Tyro spat at the succubus.
"So forgive me for not being sympathetic to a man who ordered his men to viciously raped and beaten my sister's wife while she was pregnant! Pregnant Bo! My nephew is dead because of him! I hope he burns to a crisp in hell" Tyro growled but was held back by her Beta.
"Calm Tyro...go take a walk" Lyric ordered the angry woman.
"Everybody go take a walk, I know that you all feel betrayed but still remember who she is. She is still carrying Lauren's child...so don't do anything stupid that might cost you your life" Lyric reminded the angry shifters who glared at the succubus before leaving.
"Thank you" Bo said to Lyric as Kenzi helped her to a stand.
"Don't thank me yet, Tyro was easy to calm...Lauren will not be. I hope your love is strong enough to bring her back to her human self because you going to need it." Lyric told her walking out the room. Tamsin wanted to follow but was stopped by her mate's hand. Once the door closed, Tamsin narrowed her eyes at the dumbass succubus.
"After all the dumb shit you have done...this hands down must be the worse. What the hell were you thinking!" Tamsin shouted as Kenzi stepped in front of the crying succubus.
"Cool it Tamsin"
"Did you know about this?" Kenzi face turned pink giving away her answer as Tamsin threw her hands up in defeat.
"Now they think we're fucking traitors! How could you do that to Lauren"
"I don't know okay! He kept fucking talking...I saw my grandfather, I took an opportunity to get him away from death and I took it" Bo yelled wiping the tears from her eyes. Everything was so fucked up.
"That opportunity might have cost you the loyalty of your pack and your mate" Tamsin said walking away from the two.
"What have I done Kenzi?" Bo asked the smaller woman who just pulled the crying succubus into her arms.

Lauren was getting restless Sara notice, staying out the eyesight of the shifter, Sara needed to get them away now. Suddenly a breeze blew a scent towards them.
Human.
The woman was talking loudly into her phone walking with no fear in the world. Sara never understood humans and their daredevil tendencies to temp faith. She was geared up with hiking wear and a look of hunger and prey plague the bloodthirsty lion as Sara watched the shifter lunge and take chase.
"Fuck" Sara cursed under her breath as she took chase as well. Lauren understood the basic like stop, go, attack etc. But it didn't mean she followed the commands. The woman never stood a chance as Lauren teeth quickly sunk into fragile flesh lifting the woman off her feet. Sara skidded to a stop and watched Lauren tear the woman's neck clean out. Blood sprayed everywhere, skin ripped and torn off bone. Sara turned her head and back away from the feeding lion. It didn't take long, after about ten or so minutes later Lauren pushed the dead body away and walked off to find water. Sara quickly undressed and shifted into her panther, digging a nice size hole for the mangle body. Shifting back and redressing, Sara hoped Lyric got here fast...they were running out of space to bury Lauren's leftovers. At least in Africa, Lauren could hunt the animals there instead of humans. She lost count of how many humans it been, but she knew that Lauren killed five Dark Faes earlier last week. They were ambushed one night while hunting and Lauren killed them all. Her Aunt has been sneaking off to accompany them on some days, giving them food and clothes. At night, Lauren would snuggle up to her and protect her like she was her cub...mostly because she stayed plagued with nightmares of Dyson's execution.
Two weeks earlier…
"LAUREN!" Sara screamed breaking the neck of the closest UnderFae. After giving her baby to Lyric, and telling her go. Sara made her mind up to fight and help her former mate. Lauren was drenched in blood as she ripped through the skin and broke bones. But she knew they were outnumbered by a lot. They needed to fall back. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her Aunt throw her a shotgun...not just any regular shotgun either. Cocking the gun and aiming, Sara saw a UnderFae lung for Lauren's back. The sound boomed as the UnderFae exploded with the hit, falling to its death. Snapping the gun ready..Sara kept shooting off bullet after bullet until Lauren was free from the pile of attacking UnderFaes.
"Lauren get up! Move now" Sara voice yelled hitting the shifter ears. More Faes and guards came running out the compound, shooting anything that got closer...Lauren lunged at anything that got closer. Just like old times, back to back. Lauren was vicious with it, her lion gave no mercy as she tore through the guards that was firing at them. Sara could easily see that Lauren was getting hit the most, but shockingly the bullets would go right through and heal instantly.
"We gotta move" Sara yelled blowing the head off a UnderFae as she back peddled. Suddenly she heard a clicking sound telling her she was out of bullets. Throwing the gun and high tailing it, she quickly shifted into her panther and raced towards the woods. Lauren was a easier target to see because she was so big, but Sara's panther was small and could blend in with the trees.
"Come out and face your death with dignity" Sara paw slipped at the voice that hit her ears.
Couldn't be! Bo never would betray them like this!
Lauren growled deep in her stomach as the wolf's scent hit her nose. Sara whimpered in fear as she watched the bullets fly past the lion who was dodging them like a pro. Sara leaped to another tree and lunged down at one guard killing him with one bite, quickly shifting and grabbing the handgun. She was more smart with her bullets this time, aiming for the head from the tree top. One by one they were dropping, when one gun was empty she would grab the next and shoot. Dyson had shifted, she could smell his foul scent sneaking up on her. Lauren was busy fighting off two UnderFaes to notice. Sara has been waiting for this moment for five years. Gripping the gun tightly, she saw the wolf move from behind a tree slowly growling deeply. She knew in reality...he was stronger than her panther, she knew shifting into her panther wasn't going to do good but surely she didn't want to end his life so easily with just a bullet. She wanted him to suffer greatly. Lauren was licking the blood from her nose when she saw Sara cornered by the wolf, still aiming the gun...Sara saw Lauren leap in front her growling. Quickly stepping back and stripping one of the dead female guards of her clothes, Sara stood back and watched the fight begin. They were circling each other trying to find a weak point. Lauren was much bigger which was dangerous for her, being as big as she was...it made her an easy target for the wolf. Sara wanted to help but she knew this was all Lauren, her revenge was stronger...more cruel. Even though she wanted revenge, Sara was never a calculated killer like Lauren. Still clutching the gun in her hands, she finally saw the wolf leap...
Gasping for air, Sara found herself sitting upright drenched in sweat and tears. Shaking like a leaf, Dyson's death was so inhumane...no mercy given. It made her look at Lauren differently but she knew Lauren wasn't in her right mind...so she didn't really understand her actions. Sara feared this Lauren, never have she witness such malicious actions towards actions before. Dyson didn't stand a chance. She try not to think about too much but it plague her dreams. Looking around, she saw Lauren laying belly up with her paws in the air sleep. Smiling, she crawled over to the sleeping lion and rubbed her belly.
"Wake up sleepy head" Sara mumbled into the soft thick fur. The lion dipped his head down and licked the human from her neck to her cheek.
"Eww. What did I tell you about keeping your body parts off me" Sara joked straddling the lion as she snuggled deeper into the warm fur. These little moments like this made it so hard for Sara to remember that Lauren wasn't hers anymore. Looking into the blood red eyes, she could swear that Lauren was in there...her sweet Lauren was still in there somewhere. Suddenly the wind picked up, blowing harshly.
Lyric was here.
"Come on lazy, that's our ride home" Sara stood stretching her body as Lauren shook her fur out. Jumping onto Lauren's back, they followed the sounds of the plane engine. A couple of miles away, Lyric quickly landed the plane. She was losing her shit in excitement, she was dying to see her Alpha and her sister. She needed to physically see them to know if they were okay. About ten minutes or so, she saw Lauren running closer with Sara riding her back. The lion immediately gave a warning growl at the intruder, thinking that they were just out for a run. Sara jumped off Lauren and ran to her sister. The lion was confused at the action, growling more louder moving towards the two. Sara quickly rubbed the agitated lion's nose calming him down.
"Wow you wasn't kidding, she really is stuck?" Lyric asked weary of her Alpha who was side eyeing her but was giving Sara her full attention.
"Yes she is. We need to get her back to Bo and reattach the bond so she can shift back" Sara explained feeling a little sad that their little forest adventure was quickly coming to a end.
"So it was you that had to put the spell on Bo, I can't smell anything coming from her at all"
"That's how it's suppose to be, I didn't want anybody to know because emotions and feelings would have clouded our minds and we ended up making mistakes"
"But that wasn't your call to make Sara" Lyric said eyeing the lion.
"I know but I had to do something, Lauren will not come back to us in this state. She is trapped in survival mode, anyone who she feels is a threat...she will attack." Sara told her sister as she ran her fingers through the raised fur. She needed to calm Lauren down before getting on the plane.
"Come on, let's get you guys home" Lyric stepped back as she watched Sara guide the lion onto the plane. Shaking her head, she just hoped everything play out like its suppose to. Shutting the door and locking it, a vicious growl erupted from her Alpha. Freezing in place, Lyric stood still and watched Sara bury her face in the black mane whispering to the lion. The scene was bittersweet, Lyric remember so many times Sara had to calm Lauren down from killing one of the packmates. It was heartfelt to watch, so she left them alone and quickly lifted the plane off the ground and into the air.
Happy holidays.
