A/N: Thanks for all the birthday messages, really appreciate it, I had a great 20th :D Sorry for the late update, I was surprised with a short trip to Amsterdam from a few friends.
Big thanks as well for the reviews, favourites and follows. Hope you enjoy this chapter.
LPOV:
"So when are they all arriving?" I ask Liv as I park the car outside the Dhal.
"I spoke to Jen about an hour ago and they were already on their way the way so they'll be about 20-30 minutes...well I guess if Sarah's driving they could be here in 5." She says with a laugh.
Yeah Sarah certainly is a mad driver. The best way to describe her driving is like Cruella De'vil, you know from the 101 Dalmatians animation when she's chasing after the puppies, it's just like that. Awful but fast.
"Yeah she is a mad one." I say with a smile growing on my face as I think of my family. You've got Liv and Jen who are the world's most perfect couple. Liv is just a ball of crazy and sarcasm and Jen is the mother hen of the pack trying to keep us all in line, but I've got to say you get a few Gins in that girl and all bets are off. And even though they are so different they are perfect together and bring out the best in each other, but beware if you cross them or their family you will regret it. Then you've got Sarah they youngest member of our pack, well technically I'm younger than her in Lycan years as she's 87 now but she was changed when she was only 19 and she still has her bubbly personality, I really love that girl she's definitely like a little sister to me. Finally we've got Matt, Sarah's husband, a 6ft 4 teddy bear. When people first see him they're unsure about the way he looks due to the size of him and a long scar starting at his side burn and running all the way down under his shirt, but the guy is a real softie and loves his family, but one thing he does hate is the Fae...when I told him everything he wasn't exactly pleased, if he had his way we wouldn't be here and Danny could continue with his Fae killing spree.
"LAUREN." Liv screams into my ear making me jump out my skin.
"What the fuck Liv." I shout at her as she just sits there laughing.
"I've called out to you like 7 times you divvy, not my fault you're going deaf in your old age." She winks. "Anyway I only wanted to let you know we're here." I look out the window and see us parked outside the Dhal.
"Right. Well let's do this." I tell her getting out the car straight away, I really just want to get this over with.
"Hey slow down road runner." Liv says jumping out the car and running to catch up with me.
"I just want to be finished with all this Liv." I tell her stopping outside the Dhal doors.
She gives me a sad smile and rubs my back. "I know mate and I promise when all this is over we'll go far away and get very drunk, okay?" She tells me with a smile that is always able to calm me.
"Okay."
"Good. Then let's do thiiiiis." She sings while flinging both doors open and strutting inside very dramatically. I just shake my head and follow after her.
We enter the Dhal and see a similar situation. Tricks closed it down and it's just him, Kenzi, Hale, Tamsin and Dyson, but I can't seem to see Bo anywhere. I look around the room and still see no sign of her. "She's on her way." Kenzi tells me with a wink. I guess she saw me looking around…well that's embarrassing.
"She had to sort out something." She gives me a tight hug, then gives my bum a slap and goes to stand next to Hale. I go to the bar and stand next to Liv who's being quizzed by Trick about Lycans. I take this time to look around the room and see Tamsin and Dyson over by the pool table, as usual Dyson's sending myself and Liv glares and I'm getting some pretty steamy looks from Tamsin, I send her a wink and turn back to the bar.
"So how old are you exactly?" Trick asks.
"My goodness Trick don't you know you're never supposed to ask a lady her age." Liv mocks with a gasp before downing the glass of whisky he placed in front of her.
"I'm around 2600 years I think, give or take a few hundred years." She says shaking her glass at him and he just nods dumbly, guess he's pretty shocked about how old she is.
"You're that old?" Kenzi asks shocked coming over with Hale.
I know that look in her eye. It's the look I'd have every time I thought about or looked at Bo knowing how long she's going to live for and how I'm not. "Yeah little one, us Lycans live forever." Liv tells her and I see her eyes light up.
"We'll talk soon." I tell her and she nods at me with a watery smile.
I soon hear the familiar sound out boots heading towards the bar and the velvet voice. "Listen I just had a meeting with your employee and he was no fucking use, so I want you to listen to me. I don't care how much it costs or how many poxy bits of paper I have to fill out. I want it done." Bo growls down the phone and hangs up with a huff, I see her eyes flashing blue but as soon as we make eye contact they go straight back to her chocolate brown.
"All sorted BoBo?" Kenzi asks snapping us out our staring contest.
"No the idiots said it would take at least a couple of months." She huffs again with anger in her voice.
"What's this about?" Tamsin asks them joining us at the bar.
"Nothing." Bo says.
"Lauren's grave." Kenzi says the same time as Bo. The both turn to each other with wide eyes.
"My what?" I ask them and Kenzi turns to me but no words come out her mouth that's almost on the floor, so I turn to Bo.
"Uhhh...can we talk in the back?" She asks.
"Sure."
I walk into the back room with Bo following close behind me. "I have a grave?" I ask her when she closes the door.
"Yeah." She draws out with her eyes to the ground. "When you didn't turn up for work we all went up to your family cabin, I remember you telling me about it so it wasn't too hard to find. We found blood Lauren and you nowhere to be found. I was in denial for a long time, just drinking and crying until Kenz told me we had to say goodbye. I really didn't want to but I thought of it as a place to come and talk to you, it made me feel close to you Lo and it really helped me, every Sunday I'd talk to you about my week and it did help, but I promise I never gave up hope Lauren and I'm getting it taken down as soon as I can."
Every Sunday. I feel like my heart is about to beat out my chest when I hear what she's saying.
"You visited every Sunday, for 3 years?" I ask.
"Yeah I know it sounds creepy and crazy." She cringes.
"No not at all. It's actually sweet." I mumble with so many thoughts
"Look Lauren I just want you to know that..." Bo starts but Kenzi interrupts by bursting into the room.
"Sorry guys but Dyson and Olivia are at each other's throats…literally." She says running back out the room.
"We both run out to see Hale holding Dyson back and Tamsin doing the same to Liv.
"What's going on?" I go to Liv and put a hand on her hip in hopes to calm her down.
"This asshole doesn't know when to back off. He still can't get it into his head that he and his puppy strength isn't needed." She rants and I can feel how riled up she is through our pack bond. I need to calm this down now before Dyson is missing his head.
"Okay you both need to calm down now." I say standing in the middles of them both.
"Keep out of this." He growls at me with his eyes turning to that ugly yellow. "I'm not letting you two come into my town and shut me out. I will deal with this and if you try and get in my way you will regret it." He says darkly.
"Ooooh scary." Liv mocks.
"Stop it Liv." She gives me a pout but keeps her mouth shut.
I turn back to Dyson and see he still has a pissed off look on his face, does he even know what the word relax means. "Can you be any more arrogant Dyson, your town. Get your head out your ass Dyson before you get yourself killed. How many times do we need to tell you that he'll kill you...or did you not get the message when I had your head buried in bar nuts?" I tell him and I'll tell ya if looks could kill I'd be 6ft under. He growls deep in his chest and pushes Hale away from him and descends on me, but before he gets near me he's knocked to the ground by a swift hard punch from Bo who jumped in front of me.
"Don't you dare come anywhere near her." Bo shouts at Dyson who's holding his now bleeding nose on the floor.
"What the fuck Bo?" He scrambles to his feet while wiping the blood from his face. She growls moves forwards but I grab her hips and pull her back into me.
"Keep calm Bo." I tell her when she turns to me and I see her eyes flashing blue.
She relaxes against me but doesn't make a move forwards, she just stays pressed up against me and to be honest I don't move my hands of her hips either.
"What's the problem Dyson?" Trick asks him.
"The problem is them Trick. They've just rocked up here and taken over, telling me that I can't get involved in my own investigation. That's horseshit." He rants pointing at me and Liv.
"Maybe they're right Dyson, I've dealt with Lycans in the past and they are very temperamental, not to mention they're insane strength. I think it would be best to leave it to Lauren and her pack." Trick tells him and I can see Dyson getting angrier and angrier.
"You can't be serious Trick, you really want to leave this up to these two stupid bit..."
"You're going want to stop what you're saying right now."
I whip my head to the side when I hear Jen's familiar voice. I feel happiness spread across my whole body when I see the rest of my family all stood there with their arms crossed glaring at Dyson. I see Liv pushing Tamsin off her and strides over to Jen and takes her into her arms and spins her around. "My god I've missed you." Liv says into her neck.
"LAURIE." Sarah screams before I feel her tiny body slamming into mine and her legs wrapping around my waist like a little monkey...it's her thing.
"Have these assholes been mean? I'll make sure they never find their bodies." She whispers in my ear as I'm still holding her up.
"Everything's fine Sarah. Right get down now you lump." I say pushing her off me, she sends me a pout but gets down. I feel eyes burning into my head and I know they're Bo's, I can just feel the jealousy pouring off her over the fact that another girls legs were just wrapped around my torso. I soon forget about Bo when I see Matt appearing behind Sarah. He takes me into his arms the same way Liv did with Jen, but I soon have to pat his arm as I'm getting dizzy from all the spinning.
"I missed you Lo." He smiles down at me.
"I missed you too big guy." I tell him bringing him in for one more hug. When we break from the hug I see Jen and Liv still wrapped in each other's arms.
"So this is them." Matt says in his deep voice staring down everyone.
"Uhh yeah, this is Bo, Kenzi, Hale, Trick, Tamsin and Dyson." I tell him and Sarah pointing to everyone individually. "Guys this is Matt and his wife Sarah and that's Jennifer over there with Liv." I see Bo's whole body calm when I say that Matt and Sarah are married and I guess she realized Liv and I were just friends when Jen had her tongue down her throat.
"So this is Dyson." Matt says slowly walking towards him with his arms crossed. "The pathetic puppy who like to pick on humans, aren't you a real man." Dyson try's to square up to Matt but it's no use, Matt is much bigger than Dyson in height and build.
"Leave it Mattie, he's not worth it." Sarah tells him while looking Dyson up and down.
"Okay, okay, but I'll tell you this Dyson you speak to any of them like that again and I'll rip your head off you pathetic little body." He growls.
"Is that a threat?" Dyson says still not being smart and backing down.
"No. It's a promise."
"Alright back it up boys, we all need to chill the fuck out." Liv says appearing next to Matt and giving him a gentle push back.
"Yes, Olivia is right you need to keep calm Dyson and if that's too much of a challenge for you then you may leave, I won't have violence here." Trick tells him. Dyson breathes deeply and takes a step back.
"Prick." Sarah mumbles as her moves back, I give her a look but she just sends me a mischievous smirk in return...she's spent way too much time around Liv.
"Right so how about those case files we came for." Liv asks Trick ignoring the looks Dyson is giving her.
"They're in my back room. I was thinking we could all sit and discuss a plan of action, I know we're not much use strength wise in stopping him but I'm sure we could be of use somehow." Trick says to Liv.
"That's very nice of you Trick but I think it would be best if we just dealt with it."
"Look we know this case in and out why won't you just let us help." Tamsin tells her pretty angrily getting involved for the first time today.
"Listen sweetheart..." Liv starts but Jen cuts her off.
"Olivia, these people are being kind enough to offer us some help on a case they know about, we would be dumb and rude not to take it." Jen tells her with a look that tells her it's not up for discussion.
Liv stares at her for a few seconds before giving her a nod and turning back to Trick. "It would be wonderful if you'd help us Trick, Thank you." Trick sends her a smile and heads into the back to get the files. Liv then turns to Jen with a pout making Matt, Sarah and I giggle. She never ever could say no to Jen with she used her full name or that tone of voice, Liv may be the Alpha of out pack but we all know who wears the pants in their relationship.
"Put that lip away you big baby." Jen laughs taking Liv inter her arms.
"Here they are." Trick announces carrying out a large box. "How about we all sit up the top around the large table and go through these." He says heading up the stairs with Matt, Sarah, Dyson, Tamsin and Hale following him. Bo gives me and awkward smile before she heads up the stairs with Kenzi.
"You ready baby doll?" Liv asks me.
"Nope." She just laughs and pulls Jen up the stairs.
Well isn't this going to be fun.
A/N: Sorry again about the lateness but Amsterdam was pretty mad ;) I know this wasn't the longest chapter but I just wanted some Bo/Lauren time and to introduce the rest of the pack.
Next chapter we're going to see what Bo thinks about all this. Like always it would be great if you could leave a wee review. Hope you all liked the new pack members and I'll see ya next time :D
