A/N: Ahh brilliant. Glad you're all enjoying it and are liking Liv so far, I think you'll enjoy the other Lycans too.
Thanks for all the favourites, follows and reviews. All you're reviews really do make me laugh :D
Also all the questions about Lauren/Tamsin and Bo/Lauren, this is a Doccubus story, but I think Bo deserves some teasing along the way and Lauren deserves some lovin ;)
Enjoy.
LPOV:
"Dude I cannot believe that all this time you've been alive and a kick-ass werewolf." Kenzi gushes with a bright smile for what feels like the 50th time.
"So have you still been living here? Where abouts? How big are you when you change? What colour? Can you show me one day I'd love to see." Kenzi gushes but she's cut off by a hand slamming down onto the table.
"ENOUGH." Dyson bellows with a face full of anger. "Stop all this lovey dovey bullshit. Are we seriously going to ignore the fact that it was them at the sites of these innocent murdered Fae." He growls at me with a face of fury and I hear a rumble in Livs chest so I lay a calming hand on her leg and I can feel Bo's eyes glaring at my hand, but I can't focus on her right now.
"You think Lauren killed them?" Kenzi says with wide eyes.
"Well they were there weren't they, we caught her ourselves." He says pointing at Liv.
"Well how about instead of accusing them you go ahead ask them." Bo snaps at him.
"Well?" Dyson says crossing his arms and staring at us.
"Well what?" Liv asks playing dumb. If she carries on with this teasing there is definitely going to be bloodshed, but I am slightly enjoying how frustrated Dyson's getting.
"Are you two responsible for the Fae deaths?" He grits out.
"Oh that...no we're not." She tells him with a smile making his frown lines deeper. "But we do know who's doing it and we're taking care of it." She finishes making everyone turn to us with a look of shock on their faces.
"You know who's doing this?" Tamsin asks leaning forward. I get how frustrated she must have been looking for who's doing this and getting nowhere.
"Yeah, it's an old pack mate of ours. He hates all Fae and can't control his Lycan when he catches their scent and as you've all seen the outcome is fatal." I tell her and I can see the thoughts spinning in her head.
"And you didn't think to come to us with this information sooner." Dyson says to me with that arrogant tone.
"What do you think you could have done?" Liv jumps in. "Did you not see what he did to all those Fae. He would have snapped your neck before you could read him his rights pup...Hmm, maybe I should let you handle it." She finishes with a smirk angering him more.
"He's the one who turned you." Bo whispers staring deep into my eyes and I feel that odd sensation in my chest again. I give her a nod and she looks away from me but I see the tears gathering in her eyes again.
"Why'd he change Lauren if he was part of your pack?" Kenzi asks.
FLASHBACK.
I head down the stairs with Olivia and into the kitchen area and I see a woman stood at the stove flipping pancakes.
"Where is everyone?" Olivia asks walking up behind the woman and giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"They went out for a walk. I thought it would be best not to overwhelm her, you know how Sarah can get." She says turning towards me. I get a look at her and I see how beautiful she is. She's got honey brown shoulder length hair, green/grey eyes, gorgeous full lips and a curvy figure that I bet turns a lot of heads.
"Hi Lauren I'm Jen. It's lovely to meet you." She says walking over and surprising me by giving me a tight hug.
"I'm so sorry about what Danny did…he's a very troubled young man, but you won't need to worry about anything he won't be staying here anymore." She tells me going back to the pancakes and pushing Olivia away who's picking at the chocolate chips.
"So he's gone?" I ask Olivia.
"Of course. There's no way I'd keep him around here after what he did to you and it's obvious that we can no longer control him so he's off with an old friend who has more experience in taming pups than I do." She says pouring us some juice and laying out the plates.
"So why did he do it. It's not as if I'm a threat." I ask her.
"Well I was unsure also about why it happened until you told me about your involvement with the Fae. I few years ago two Fae shifters raped and killed Danny's human sister, ever since then he's gone nuts when around Fae." She tells me taking a seat opposite next to me at the breakfast bar. "So this week was the 4th anniversary of his sister's death and he always goes off to do his own thing at this time of year, but sadly this time he ended up by your cabin and you being the Fae's doctor you had their scent all over you and your possessions and being in his Lycan form he wasn't thinking straight, hence the attack." She explains and I can see the sadness written all over her face. It must be so hard for her having a new member of her pack because an already member mauled them.
"Well thank you for looking out for me. I'm not used to people having my back, I appreciate it." I tell her and I can already see some of the sadness disappear.
"You're family now." She says as Jen brings a mountain of pancakes over.
"WHERE'S MY NEW SISTER." I look up from my food when I hear a voice scream from behind the kitchen door.
"And that would be Sarah." Jen says with a wince.
"You ready?" She asks with a glint in her eyes.
"Welcome to the mad house Lauren."
I feel the nerves swim in my stomach, but even thought my world has completely changed less than 24 hours and I'm changing into a mythical creature as we speak, I feel like this is exactly where I'm supposed to be.
FLASHBACK END.
"So it was all a mistake. You were bit because he thought you were Fae." Kenzi says sadly gripping onto Hales hand.
"Excuse me." Bo mumbles leaving the table.
I watch her head into Tricks back room and Kenz gets up to follow but I shake my head at her and follow her instead ignoring the daggers from Dyson and the smirk from Liv. I head into the back room and see Bo with her back to me and hear she muffles cries.
"I'm fine Kenz just give me a few minutes." She sniffs.
"You want a tissue?" I ask and I see her back stiffen. She turns to me and I get a horrible feeling in my stomach when I see her red eyes with the tears streaming down.
"Oh Bo, are you okay?" I ask walking over and taking a seat next to her.
"I'm so sorry Lauren." She breaks down into tears again and I find myself pulling her into my arms. I can't just leave her sobbing on her own.
"Calm down Bo before you give yourself a panic attack." I tell her rubbing her back and she struggles to catch her breath over the crying.
"It's all my fault."
"What's your fault?"
"You being this. If I hadn't had done what I did that night then you wouldn't have left and this wouldn't have happened to you. I'm just so, so sorry Lauren." She sobs into my chest.
"Don't think like that Bo, this could've happened any time. I'm not going to lie and say that same thought didn't cross my mind the odd time when I was angry but I've had a lot of time to realize that things really do happen for a reason. I was meant to meet Olivia and everyone else and to become their family. It really was meant to be and I don't want you thinking about what happened 3 years ago, I was hurt but I've had a lot of time to get over it and I now can slightly understand that you couldn't control your urges, I get the same some time with my Lycan. So please don't blame yourself Bo because I most certainly don't."
Olivia says I'm a push over because I've forgiven Bo for what she did 3 years ago, but I just can't hold onto the hate or upset around with me. There's already too much going on with my life without anything darkening my heart.
"How can you be so forgiving?" She sniffs sitting up and wiping her tears away.
"I realized it wasn't worth it." When I say that a sad look comes over her face, but I just turn away and head towards the door.
"Let's get back out there. I'm sure there's a lot more questions you all have." I leave the room and head back to the table ignoring everyone's eyes on me. Bo exits a couple minutes later with her eyes wiped clean but you can still tell she's been crying due to the redness.
"They want to join." Liv says snapping me out of staring at Bo.
"What?"
"They want in on catching Danny." She whines making me laugh, she really does hate the Fae.
"You can't. It's too dangerous for you all, the second he catches a whiff of your scents he'll rip you apart. It's best just to let us deal with it." I tell them heading over to the bar to grab the bottle of whisky.
"Because you've been doing such a great job." Dyson says standing up and walking around the table towards me.
"Leave it Dyson." Kenzi tells him.
"No they can't just turn up and decide to freeze us out when they're obviously doing a shitty job." He growls.
"Back off mate you're no use to us. The rest of my pack will be here soon and then we'll take care of it." Liv says standing in front of him.
"And we're supposed to just sit here and do nothing while that psycho tears innocent people's throats out." Tamsin says to me, walking over to stand next to a pissed off looking Dyson.
"Yes and as crappy as it is that's what you have to do...or you'll end up just like them."
"Well that's not going to happen, I can take care of it." Dyson says to us puffing out his chest and crossing his arms.
"Oh you can take care of 6 and a half foot werewolf. I know shifters Dyson, you hardly come up to my hips when you shift. You couldn't fight him in his human form let alone as a Lycan." I tell him and I see his eyes flicker yellow. He growls and moves towards me making everyone else jump from their seats. Liv jumps in front of me but I push her out the way just as Dyson grabs me by my shirt.
"DYSON STOP." Bo yells running over, but before she gets involves I grab Dyson's arms and twists it round his back and slamming his upper body and face into the bar.
"Do not try me dog." I growl into his ear. He struggles against me but he's no match for my Lycan strength, I see from the corner of my eye Hale, Tamsin and Tick moving towards me but one growl from Liv stops them in their tracks. "I've been back less than an hour and you've already managed to test the patience of me and my friend with your arrogant male bravado, but I won't put up with it. I'm not the same Lauren you used to push around 3 years ago. Get in our way again and I won't be as forgiving as I am now. Do you understand?" He doesn't answer me so I put more pressure onto his twisted arm. "Do you understand Dyson?" I growl out and he nods quickly so I release him and he walks away from me holding is arm with a glare.
There's an awkward silence floating around the room and as I turn to the group and see all of them looking at me worried and shocked, but Kenzi and Bo have what looks like hints of pride on their faces.
"Well now that's been taken care of Lauren and I have stuff to do so we'll see you later." Liv says.
"No, you're leaving. When will you be back?" Bo asks me desperately walking forward.
"We need some information on the Fae that were killed, so we'll meet back her tomorrow at noon." Liv tells her and puts her hand on my back leading me out of the bar. Bo and Kenzi call out to me but me and Liv keep walking. We get outside and as the cool air hits me I finally feel like I can breathe.
"You doing okay mate?"
"Yeah." I head back to the car with Olivia. "Thanks for getting me out of there, I didn't want to lose it in front of them all."
"I know. Let's head somewhere that you can let loose for a little while, stretch your legs." She tells me with a wink as we get in the car and she starts it up.
"That'd be good." I tell her relaxing back into the chair trying to calm my Lycan.
I relax into the drive and I can't help but let my mind wander back to Bo. 3 years since I've seen her and I get one look at her and it's like no time has passed, those feelings I thought were long gone start to return. The butterfly's I'd get every time I saw her. This can't happen again, we all decided as soon as we sort out the Danny situation that we're heading out and going to Texas where some good friends of Olivias live.
"Hey Liv, how did you know Jen was the one?" I ask turning to her and I see a dreamy smile come over her face, the same one that's there every time Jen walks onto the room.
"I just knew, I already sensed that another Lycan was near and then when I saw her across the café, my god she was the most beautiful person I'd ever seen and my heart felt like it was about to jump out my chest. It was as though I was a spare bit of metal as she was a glorious magnet, I knew then there was no stopping us being together." She tells me with a smile then looks down at her wedding ring. "Like I said we all have a person out there for us and when you feel it you just know."
"When you say you feel it do you mean like an odd feeling in your chest, sort of a heavy, tight sensation." I ask.
"Yeah sort of, along with some other feelings. Why?" She looks at me confused and also like she has an idea exactly what's going on, but she wants me to say it.
"No reason, just curious." I smile and turn back to looking out the window.
It's not long before we arrive at a large forest area that used to be an activity park, but business soon dwindled down and now there's just a whole lotta forest. The perfect place for someone like me to stretch their legs.
"Are you coming?" I ask when she parks the car.
"Nahh you go ahead. I'll give Jen a call, her voice always calms me." She says looking away with a blush.
"Awww aren't you just the cutest." A laugh and leave the car as she just sticks her middle finger up at me and digs her phone out her pocket.
I walk for about 20 minutes just to make sure that no one comes across me as I'm changing, but one of the Lycan perks to amazing hearing so I'll be able to hear if anyone gets near. I strip down naked and fold my clothes on a rock and just stand and enjoy the cool breeze on my bare skin for a couple minutes. Ever since I became a Lycan I've discovered I'm a bit of a nudist, I really enjoy being naked in the middle of nowhere and just being free and peaceful.
As I get ready to shift for my run my mind wanders back to the first time I changed 3 years ago for my first full moon.
FLASHBACK.
I walk through the forest with Olivia and Jen as tonight is my first full moon. The past 2 weeks have been a bit of a rollercoaster, at first I think I was in shock because I seemed to deal with everything pretty good, but soon I started to change and I realized what happened to me and how everything was about to change. I'm so lucky to have all these guys in my life, they have all been amazing in helping me come to terms with all the changes I'm going through and being patient when I'm having a whiny bitch fit over what's happened to me.
"Here we are." Jen says as we reach a large field area.
"Are you sure we're far enough from anyone."
"We're fine Lauren. Completely surrounded my forest with no one around for miles and we'd hear it if there was." Liv says putting my mind at ease.
"Okay good." I let out a sigh of relief. "So how are we going to do this?"
"Well I'm going to change so when you do I can keep an eye on you because you'll most likely run off and Jen will stay as she is to talk you through it because I'm afraid it won't be all that pleasant Lauren." She tells me with a sad smile.
I've been dreading this moment all week. I woke up last Wednesday and my whole body was throbbing and aching like never before, I could hardly get out of bed. Sarah was explaining to me that it's like that as your body's preparing for the full moon. I especially wasn't looking forward to it because when I asked what it was like she said it was like every bone in your body breaking and that doesn't sound too great to me, but thankfully after the first couple of shifts it gets much easier and you can't feel any pain. They also told me that after the change I'll be very confused because my Lycan will be in control but the human me will still be aware, they said Olivia won't be able to link with me until I gain control and allow her in.
Olivia closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, when she opens them her eyes are an electric blue colour which is odd as her eyes are brown. "It's time." I look up and see the clouds part and a perfectly full moon comes into view, and the throbbing into my body starts up again.
"Will my eyes do that?" I ask Jen.
"Most likely, but we won't know the colour until you change. Mine are a very bright glowing green." She tells me and looks over my shoulder with a frown. I turn around and see Olivia stripping down.
"What do you think you're doing?" Jen asks with her hands on her hips.
"Oh come on Jen. I know you're possessive over my amazing body, but I really don't want to rip this shirt." She whines tugging at her batman t-shirt with puppy dog eyes, which actually looks pretty freaky with them as that colour.
"Fine but keep on your underwear you bloody nudist." She mumbles taking the bag off her back.
"I bought spare clothes with me Lauren, so you don't have to worry about ripping anything if you don't want to strip off." She tells me with a smile.
"I'm actually feeling really hot." I tell her as I feel sweat start to gather on my body.
"We're getting close." Olivia says pulling her jeans off. "I'm going to change now Lauren, but you don't need to worry I'll be in complete control. I'll still be me just a bit more hairy." She smirks moving back from us.
She gives Jen a wink and closes her eyes again. In a matter of seconds I hear the sound of bones breaking and then a huge pure white wolf appears in front of me, if I blinked I would have missed it. Even though she said not to worry I can't help but take a few steps back. "Don't worry Lauren it's still her." Jen says walking past me and over to wolfy Olivia. She reaches up and pats her on the head, Olivia then licks her hand making her let out a girly giggle.
I make my way over but I'm stopped in my tracks by a crippling pain in my stomach. "AHHHH." I fall to my knees gripping my abdomen and Jen runs to my side.
"Deep breaths Lauren, you'll be okay." She says getting on her knees next to me. I feel a sharp pain in my back and it's as if something's thrown the top half of my body back breaking the bones in my body.
"Please make it stop." I beg her as tears start to fall from my eyes. I hear Olivia whine and come close, but Jen tells her to back off because it will make it worse when I change if she's too close.
"Ahhhh, please help me." I cry out as it spreads through my whole body.
"I know it's hard, but I promise it won't be long. I know it sounds like something out of a Disney film but you'll change faster and the pain won't be as bad if you think of someone think happy and that calms you." Jen says wiping my tears.
I close my eyes and try to block out the pain that's consuming my body, I rack my brain for something to focus on and my thoughts go straight to Bo. She may have broken my heart but she's still the one who holds it and I'm willing to try anything to help dim this pain, so I let my mind wander to Bo. As I think back to the times I spent with Bo over the over the years, obviously leaving out what happened last month. Thoughts of us on dates, relaxing in bed, Bo listening to me with a dreamy face as I rant about something to do with work that she doesn't understand, hanging out with Kenzi and Hale at the Dhal on a double date.
"That's good Lauren, you're doing great it won't be long now. The moons nearly at its peak so you'll feel a lot of pain but it shouldn't be too long." Jen soothes into my ear while rubbing my back.
I try to keep my thoughts on memories but soon I can feel the pain building back up. I hunch over on my hands and knees as the pain shoots up from my legs and to my back and down from my neck. I honestly feel like I'm being possessed with the way my body's being thrown around and my bones being pushes out of place, like something's trying to escape from me. I feel rumbles deep in my chest and I soon realize that is me, I'm growling and I can hear tearing sounds. "Keep focusing on changing Lauren." Jen calls over my growling and I feel her moving away from me.
"AHHHH." There one huge blast of pain that goes through me before everything goes black.
"Lauren? Lauren can you hear me?" I hear a voice calls out.
I open my eyes and I see a woman stood there looking at me worried. I tilt my head and try and rack my brain of where I know her. "Lauren I know your confused because you're in your Lycan form for the first time, but you're safe, try to get control." I find myself letting out a growl, I didn't want to but I couldn't help it.
"It's me Lauren, Jen and Olivia's here as well…we're no danger to you." I feel some recognition when she says that. "Trust us Lauren so Liv can link with you." She says moving forward, she rests her hand on my neck and instantly feel my Lycan calm down and realize this is a member of our new family.
I lay down on the ground and Jen gently rubs her hand along my back. Ohhh I wonder what colour my eyes are.
"They're a very nice glowing violet." I hear a voice say in my head making me jump off the ground.
"Chill mate it's just me." Olivia's familiar British voice laughs into my head and I see her white wolf walk round from the trees.
"Can you hear me?" I say in my mind.
"Yeah you're an official pack member now, so when we're in our Lycan forms we can communicate." She says walking over and nuzzling her face into Jens neck.
"You fancy going for a run?" She asks walking over to me.
"Definitely, is Jen coming?"
"No she doesn't really change unless she has to, she thinks she thinks we stinks." She laughs licking Jens face making her screech and push her away.
"Get lost mutt." Jen says wiping her face. "Go show Lo the ropes, I'm going to wait in the car." She says heading back through the woods in the direction of the car.
"You wanna race mate." She says bumping me with her head.
"You're on." I say speeding away from her.
"Oi you cheat." She laughs coming up behind me.
We spend a good couple of hours just running in the woods and Olivia filling me in on all the cool things we can do as our Lycans. She tells me that every full moon the whole pack goes to the forest and run together, she says it really bonds them all so I can't wait for that, even though I feel close to them all I really think this will fully solidify it, but overall I've got to say this really is the happiest I've felt in a long time, as if this was meant to be.
A/N: Ooooh Lo putting Dyson in his place :D Hope you all enjoyed, next chapter we'll meet the rest of the Lycans.
The next chapter will be next week sometime because it's my birthday in a couple days and I don't think I'll be over my hangover until next week ;) See ya then.
