A/N: Glad you all enjoyed the last chapter and thanks for being so understanding about the long wait.
Enjoy.
LPOV:
I softly knock in the shacks door at 6:15 to take Bo out on our date. I don't have to wait long before the door is opened and I'm surprisingly greeted by Hale. "Hey Doc." He smiles moving aside to let me in.
"She still getting ready?" I ask pointing upstairs.
"Yeah I heard Kenz running around not long ago…who knows what's going on up there." He laughs.
"So how you been?"
"Doing good Doc, just trying to getting everything ready for Friday." He sighs falling back onto the couch.
"How's it coming along? Kenzi turned into a bridezilla yet?"
"Nah you and I both know she's too cool for school to get worked up over something like that. The only reason she'll start stressing is if we ran out of booze at the reception, but there's no way Trick would put himself through that." He laughs.
"I'm so happy for you Hale." And I truly am. When I started working for the Fae all those years ago he was the only one that ever treated me like an equal, stuck up for me and been there for me. "You and Kenzi are perfect for each other."
"Thanks Lauren. I really appreciate everything you've done for both of us, you've always stuck up for our relationship."
"Well I've been there, done that remember. Every day I had someone telling me that we couldn't be together just because we were born differently. You're madly in love with each other Hale and anyone with eyes can see that."
"I really do. So how are things going with you and Bo?" He grins.
"We had a talk a while back and sorted through a few things and now we're going to take it slow."
"I'm glad it's working out Doc. I know she messed up big time but that woman loves you and she was an absolute mess when you went missing, and we weren't sure if one day we were going to get a call saying they've found her body somewhere." I feel immediately sick at the thought of any harm coming to Bo.
"But Kenzi helped her through it all, but the main thing that really got her through was the thought that you might be out there alive somewhere. You two are meant to be Doc." He tells me with a smile.
"Yeah I'm starting to realize that." I've only been back in Bo's life for less than a month after being gone for 3 whole years and I'm already falling back in love with her just like I was back then. I'm pulled out of my thoughts when I hear two sets of feet heading down the stairs. Hale and I stand from the couch as Bo and Kenzi finally make their appearance.
"You look lovely." I tell Bo as I walk over and lay a kiss on her cheek.
"Really?" She scoffs at me in disbelief before looking down at her clothes. For our date tonight I told her to go for casual/comfy on tonight's date and she wasn't too pleased that she couldn't wear her ridiculously high heeled boots. I'm guessing she was most likely thinking I was going to ask her to wear a dress and heels for a fancy restaurant for our first date in 3 years, but that's never really been our style, we've always preferred junk food and fun. So instead tonight she's got on some very sexy black skinny jeans that show off her amazing curves and a dark grey top.
"So where are we going?" She asks pulling on her leather jacket. We wave goodbye to the love birds and head to my car.
"Now that would just been spoiling." I smirk opening the passenger side door for her. I head around to my side and I see Bo pouting like a little kid.
"Don't worry we'll be there soon." I tell her and I grin when I see a small smile appear on her face.
I turn the radio on and we both sit in silence, relaxed in each other's company. We're about 10 minutes into the drive before I feel Bo's hand come to rest on my thigh. I flick my eyes over to her and see she's staring at me with a happy smile on her face. "You okay?" I rest my hand on top of hers and give it a gentle squeeze.
"I haven't felt this happy in a long time. I just feel so at peace." She breaths out.
"Me too. We'll make this work." I bring her hand up off my thigh and place a gentle kiss on her knuckles before resting it back down. She sends me a dazzling smile and turn back to staring out the window.
We drive for another 15 minutes before I see the bright flashing light ahead. "Is that a fun fair?" She says with excitement in her voice as I head into the car park.
"Yeah…I know it's not the most romantic of dates but I thought with all drama and stress we've been through over the past couple of weeks that it would be nice to have some fun, and what better way than at the fair with crappy food, rides and games."
She leans over and kisses me softly. "It's perfect." She whispers and soon a grin appears on her face. "Now let's go." She laughs jumping out the car.
"So cute." I murmur and head out after her.
I wrap my arm around Bo's shoulder as we walk through the fair and I remember now with her heels off how much shorter she is than me, especially now I'm a Lycan. "I forgot how short you were." I say dropping a kiss on her head and breathing in her strawberry shampoo.
"Shut up." She laughs gently slapping me on the stomach. "I wasn't that much shorter than you before you became a giant wolf."
"Yeah I'm badass." I tease earning myself another gently hit.
"So what do you want to do first?" I ask as we stroll around the fair that's filled with bright lights and smiling faces.
"How about we start small and work our way up." She pulls me towards a ride called X-treme. I pay for us both and we wait in line and watch as th ride lifts high into the air, spins around very fast while tipping upside down at some points. The ride comes to a stop after a couple minutes and its now our turn.
"Let's do this." Bo says grabbing my hand and pulling us to the two ride seats.
"Just hold my hand if you get too scared." I tease her as the rise rises and starts to spin, getting faster every second.
"Oh please." She scoffs, but I soon see her knuckles turning white from the grip on the chair bars. This is going to be fun.
"You doing okay?" I ask Bo holding in my laugh as she's hunched over net to the last ride we were on.
"I'm fine." She says taking a few deep breaths.
"Maybe we'll get some food and settle down for the fireworks. I read on the poster they do a show every Wednesday night while they're in town…sound good?" I say rubbing her back.
"Yeah it might be good to get some food in my stomach." She grabs my hand and we head over to one of the many food vans.
"What would you like? My treat."
"Think I'll go for a cheeseburger and fries." She grins licking her lips.
"Good shout." I order two double cheeseburgers and a large portion of fried.
We head over to the large seating area where the fireworks are set up, but when we arrive I see there's not one free spot. The grass is completely filled with blankets and bums…shit.
"I've got an idea." I tell her pulling her over to the huge Ferris wheel.
"Two please and let us go around a few times." I say handing the teenager a 10.
We take a seat on the ride and relax with our food as the ride sets off. We go round completely once and finish our food before the fireworks even start, we arrive back at the bottom and Bo throws our empty food boxes to the teenager with a giggle, we make our way back round as the firework show finally starts up.
"This is perfect. Thank you." Bo whispers as she snuggles herself into me neck.
I wrap my arm around her to keep her nice and warm as the night starts to get colder. "I'm glad you've had a good night." I lean back more as we reach the top to see the great firework display.
"It's been amazing Lauren, so good to finally be able to relax and be with you." She tilts her head up and lays a gentle kiss on my jaw so I lean down towards her and connect my lips to hers in a gently kiss.
"God I've missed you so much." She whispers against my lips.
I bring my hand up and stroke it against her silk soft cheek. "No matter what we always find our way back to each other." She goes onto say. I give her a kiss again showing her I feel exactly the same, I relax back into our seat again and finish watching the beautiful fireworks show with my even more beautiful girl.
.

Thanks for tonight Lauren, I had an amazing time with you." Bo says as I walk her to her front door.
"So did I…and you nearly breaking my hand on the sky drop was completely worth it to see the look on your face." I laugh thinking back to the look of terror on her face when the ride plummeted to the ground.
"Yeah well it was scary." She pouts as we arrive at the front door.
"Soooo…you wanna come in?" She asks opening the door and leaning against the frame.
"I'm not sure." Even though I've forgiven Bo and my heart is now hers…there's still something holding me back from fully giving myself to her. I know that when I do there'll be no going back, I'll be completely Bo's.
"Well maybe I can persuade you." She husks moving towards me and latching her lips to my neck. I feel myself falling under her spell as she continues to move her tongue and lips up my neck and behind my ear…to my weak spot.
"HEY BOBO…YOU HOME?" Kenzi calls from upstairs.
"Nooooo." She growls into my neck.
"Rain check then." I say dropping a kiss onto her head. "She probably want to talk about the wedding that's in 3 days, spend some time with your best friend, we've got all the time in the world."
"Yeah I guess you're right. Even though she's not showing it I'm sure she's freaking out a bit over the wedding." She tells me with a smile as I brush some hair behind her ear.
"So will I see you before the wedding?"
"I'm not sure. I bet you've got a lot to do and I need to sort out a few things with Jen and Liv, so I'll most likely see you on Saturday."
"But that's so far away." She pouts.
"Only 62 hours."
"Ugh." She groans and face plants into my shoulder.
I wrap my arms around her waist and just hold her for a couple minutes. "I should be heading off. I'll see you Saturday in your beautiful dress, what colour is it by the way?" I ask pulling back from the hug.
"Well you'll just have to wait and see." She smirks leaning in and giving me one last peck.
"Fine." I fake pout and pull away. Bo laughs and gently tugs at my bottom lip. "I'll be seeing you soon then." I mumble nipping at her finger.
I gently shove her into the house and head off. "I'll see you soon pup." Bo calls out after me making us both laugh.

"So I guess they're not getting married in a church?" Sarah comments from the back seat as she's squashed in between Jen and Liv, we decided to have Matt ride upfront with me so he didn't squeeze the life out of everyone.
"Yeah they're both not huge on the whole religion thing and Hales family have come around to the idea of them being together, so they offered to host the wedding and reception in their huge mansion."
"Oooh so Hales got a rich daddy? He doesn't seem the type."
"Very rich, but he's a good guy with his own mind."
"Yeah he seems pretty cool." Matt nods pulling at his collar. He looks rather nice in his dark blue 3 piece suit. Sarah is matching him with a midnight blue, long sleeve, mid-thigh dress that shows off her amazing tanned legs. Livs gone for a short red lace dress that cuts of that the elbows, also showing off her long legs that Jens not been able to take her eyes off. Speaking of Jen she's gone for a black jumpsuit that has a very deep V neck much to the satisfaction of Liv. Personally I've never overly been into dresses, so for today I went for some tight black high waisted trousers that's makes my ass look amazing…if I may say so myself and a white/beige top that stops just above my belly button giving Bo a nice view of my new Lycan abs.
"Right here we are." I tell them pulling up to the Santiago mansion.
"Holy shit." Liv says looking at the mansion and wolf whistling.
"Like I said, they're rich." We all get out the car and I hand my keys over to the valet.
We enter the house and I instantly feel the mood drop with my pack as the foyer is filled with Fae. "Be calm, I warned you it would only be Fae, nothing will happen anyway they wouldn't dare start something here and we won't either…not on Kenzi's big day." I tell them getting 4 stiffs nod in return.
"Good, now lets head to the bar." We all head over to the large bar at the corner of the room with practically everyone's eyes on us.
"They should take a picture." Sarah huffs grabbing a glass of champagne.
"They're just jealous of how badass we are." Matt grins wrapping his arm around Sarah.
I lean against the bar ignoring the intense glares being shot at us from the Fae. "Well, well, well. I was told that it was you back in town, but I knew I had to see it to believe it." I hear a sultry voice say from behind me.
I let out a sigh and turn to her. "Hello Evony."
"Wow. It appears wolf genes look good on you." She purrs raking her eyes up and down my body and I feel my pack surround me.
"I'm sure it was a shock to find out I'm alive and a Lycan."
"Yes it was a bit of a shock to hear that the Ashes pet was now a big bad wolf." She smirks moving closer. "So how did all this come about?" She asks waving her hand in front of all 5 of us.
"Just meant to be I guess." I tell her not wanting to reveal too much about my life to this Sociopath.
"I guess so." She smirks moving forward and running her finger down my bare arm.
"Hey back off bitch." Liv growls pushing Evonys hand off me.
"Calm down Liv." I put a calming hand on her shoulder, the last thing we need is a bust up at Kenzi and Hales wedding.
"Listen Evony I'm not interested okay, so how about you go back to torturing people.
"Well look who grew a back bone." She snarls.
"I'm not here to fight Evony, just to celebrate today with Kenzi, so please leave." I say turning back to the bar.
"Not that you would win anyway." Sarah says and I can just picture the smirk on her face. I hear Evony mumble before strutting off back to her dark Fae bitches.
"Who the hell is that bitch." Jen asks.
"That would be Evony or as many call her The Morrigan. She's the leader of the dark Fae and not a very good person, so all of you just keep your distance." I tell them all downing the last of my champagne and grabbing another one.
"Well she better watch where she puts her hands, you're taken." Sarah growls glaring at Evony. "And Bo definitely won't be happy."
"What is she doing here if she's dark Fae? Aren't light and dark pretty much enemies." Liv says with her arm wrapped around Jens waist.
"Hale and his father most likely felt like they had to invite her to keep up appearances that everything is good between light and dark…even though everyone knows they despise each other." I shake my head at the stupid politics between the light and dark.
"Hello everybody." A loud voice calls from the double door. "If you would all please make your way to the main hall as we are ready to begin." He says and we all make our way in.
The 5 of us make ourselves comfortable on the second row and wait for the wedding to start. I look over at the alter and see Hale appear in an amazing Tux that looks incredible on him, my mood starts to head south when Dyson arrives next to him as his best man, bit I know I can't dwell on it for too long because he is his best friend after all. I soon hear the music start up and we all stand as Kenzi makes her entrance. I feel my breath escape my body as Kenzi and Bo enter arm in arm with them both looking absolutely stunning. Kenzi is wearing a beautiful strapless sweetheart white dress that laces up at the back, she really does look incredible…and then there's Bo. In perfect Bo and Kenzi style they've gone for a beautiful full length midnight blue strapless stress that shows off her amazing chest area…not this I was staring. I guess if Kenzi couldn't go for dark and chesty she had Bo do it. As they both pass us Bo sends me a megawatt smile and I can't help but return it.
We all take our seats as Kenzi joins Hale at the alter with Bo standing just behind her with the flowers. The ceremony starts but throughout it I find my eyes always falling back onto Bo. Hale and Kenz are half way through their vows of them promising to love and be together forever I look over to Bo and see her staring right back at me with gentle smile and her eyes full of love. When I look into her eyes my mind is instantly filled with images of what our amazing future will be like. She's my girl and that's how I want it to stay forever, any doubts I may have had just fade away in this moment.
"You may now kiss your bride." I'm brought out of my thoughts by everyone jumping up and cheering for the happy couple. I stand and join in the celebrations.
Hale and Kenzi break from the kiss and raise their joint hands as everyone continues to cheer. They both wear bright smiles and make their down the aisle, I look towards Bo and see her face had dropped over the fact she's now got her arm linked with Dyson and is following after the happy couple. I shake my head in amusement over that dumb smirk that Dyson is sending me.
"What's with his face?" Liv asks.
"He thinks he's a big man because Bo HAS to walk back down the aisle with him…pretty sad actually." I laugh.
"Want me to wipe it off his face?" Sarah asks with an evil look.
"No it's fine. I think when I'm dancing later on with Bo with be bad enough." I tell her heading out towards the bar with all the other guests. I scan the room and my eyes quickly land on Bo stood at the bar. I quietly make my way up to her and wrap m arms around her waist making her jump slightly.
"You look absolutely stunning." I whisper in her ear and lay a gentle kiss on her neck.
She turns in my arms and kisses me. "Mmm, you're looking pretty good yourself." She whispers against my lips while gently scratching her nails against my bare stomach.
"Thank you." I grin dropping another kiss on her lips.
"I noticed Dyson giving you a look when we had to follow after Kenzi and Hale together." She says with a grimace. "Sorry about that."
"Don't worry about it, that smirk will be completely wiped off his face when it's me you're leaving tonight." I purr in her ear and giving it a gentle nip.
"Mmmm, you tease." She groans into my neck while gripping onto my hips.
"Don't worry, I'll make up for it later." I tell her kissing her cheek.
We turn back to everyone and I see my pack making their way over with a grinning Kenzi. "I'm so glad you came." She says jumping into my arms.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world." I give her one final squeeze and set her back on her feet.
"So what's next…food?" Matt asks with a hopeful smile.
"Well Hales family wanted us all to sit down and have a nice formal meal, but that's just not us." She says and I see Matts face drop. "But we knew that people needed food so we've got a huge buffet set up in the dining hall, but I just plan on drinking today." She says with a wink.
"Well it is a celebration." Sarah tells her earning a high five from Kenzi.
"Yeah it is. So how about a round of Tequila to get this party started." She says loud enough for the bartender to hear, who sends for a nod in return.
"So cheers everyone, to me marrying the love of my life and to old friends and some amazing new ones." She says holding out her glass.
"Cheers." We all down our shots just as Hale walks over.
"Hey you get my wife drunk Doc." Hale grins wrapping his arm around Kenzi.
"Awww your wife." Jen coos. "Good feeling right." She says kissing Liv.
"Amazing, best thing I've ever done."
Hale and Kenzi continue to gush about how amazing it is to be fully committed to each other in every way and I feel warmth fill me as my mind once again drifts to the thought of marrying Bo one day.
"You okay?" Bo asks bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Perfect." I smile giving her another kiss.
"Well I came over to tell you all that all the food was set up in the dining hall if anyone was hungry." Hale says and as soon as the words leave his mouth Matt is practically running towards the giant hall.
"I'll go make sure he leaves some for the other guests." Sarah says heading after her husband.
"You hungry gorgeous?" Liv asks Jen.
"Yeah I could go for some food." They both follow Hale and Kenzi out the room who also seem to be a bit peckish.
"You want some food Bo?"
"I'd rather just relax here with you for a little while." She says cuddling into me.
"Not a problem." I give her a smile followed by a kiss that she happily returns.

"Hello?" I wave my hand at the bar tender who's been stood at the other end of the bar chatting to some leggy red head for the past 5 minutes. "I'm sorry am I invisible." I call out to him earning myself a glare. "Okay then." I rest against the bar and wait for him to finish drooling over her.
"Hello Doctor." I hear slurred from behind me.
I groan out loud and turn to find myself face to face with fucking Dyson. "Hello Dyson, how are you?" I drone.
"I'd be better if you weren't here. Then Bo could finally see the truth." He says with a glare.
"Oh and what truth might that be."
"That I'm her future and you're just an infatuation."
"Hmm, interesting thought. So you think that if I wasn't in the picture that Bo would fall into your arms and you'd both live happily ever after. Is that what you mean Dyson?" I say squaring up to him.
"Exactly." He grins smugly.
"So why is it you both weren't all loved up while I was gone for 3 years?" I ask him suppressing my smirk as he fails to come up with an answer.
"Yeah that's what I thought. Have a good night Dyson." I laugh turning back towards the bar.
"Hey I'm not finishing here." He almost shouts grabbing my arm and the attention of the people surrounding us.
"You really want to do this here? At your best friend's wedding, go sober up Dyson, you're making a fool out of yourself." I pull my arm roughly out of his grip making him stumble slightly in his drunken state.
"Hale understands." He scoffs.
"No Hale thinks you're an obsessive idiot. Just go away Dyson, I'm having a good night and I don't need you ruining it." I say forcefully showing him I'm not in the mood of playing games.
"Listen you little bitch." He growls moving forward.
"DYSON ENOUGH." Kenzi shouts as her and Hale appear next to us.
"Go back to your girl Doc, we've got this." Hale says not taking his angry eyes off Dyson.
"Thanks guys." I hear Dyson calling out to me but I completely block him out and look for Bo. It doesn't take long to spot her on the dance floor letting loose with all my pack and it absolutely warms my heart to see the most important people in my life getting along so well.
"Hey pretty lady." I growl into Bo's ear as I playfully grab her from behind.
"Hey…where did you go?" She grins wrapping her arms around my neck as we sway to the music.
"Just to the bar, but the line was too long." I say before pecking her on her amazing lips.
"Well I'm glad you're back with me." She says against my lips before reattaching them.
We both stay in the middle of the dance floor swaying to the cheesy music that Hale and Kenzi have chosen to play. I rest my head against Bo's and softly sing the lyrics to Bo.
"Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come, my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday
They said, "I bet they'll never make it."
But just look at us holding on
We're still together, still going strong"
Bo throws her head back and lets out a laugh as I put of a southern accent and sing to her but she continues to sway with me.
They said, "I bet they'll never make it."
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
You're still the one
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
You're still the one
You're still the one that I love
"You're so amazing." Bo grins interrupting my amazing serenade.
"You're so beautiful." I grin back making Bo roll her eyes.
"How much have you had to drink?" She laughs.
"Just a little."
"I think a little more than a little Doctor Lewis." She purrs into my ears.
"Well luckily you know how I get when I've had a bit to drink." I wink and I feel a rush of excitement run through me when Bo's eyes flash blue.
"Hey guys." I turn with my arm still wrapped Bo to see Kenzi. "I'm really sorry about before Lauren, he was being an asshole." She says with a guilty face.
"Don't worry about it Kenz it wasn't your fault." The last thing she needs is this on her wedding day.
"What happened?" Bo asks with a face full of worry.
"Nothing major, Dyson had a bit too much drink and decided to pick a fight."
"He what?" She screeches in my ear.
"It's fine Bo…he was just being a drunken fool. Anyway Kenzi and Hale took care of everything."
"Yeah Hale is putting his drunken ass in a cab right now and I know Hale will be having a few words with him when he sobers up." She scowls.
"I've learned to ignore it." I tell them both. "Don't let it ruin you day Kenzi and the first steps into your amazing future with Hale."
"Well that's actually what I wanted to come and talk to you about Lauren." She says taking a deep breath. "I've spoken with Hale and we've decided we both want to take you up on your offer after our Honeymoon."
"What offer?" Bo interrupts looking at us both confused.
Kenzi looks at Bo with a watery smile and I realize this is the first time Bo is hearing this new, I was certain Kenzi would have told her over the past few days. "Well BoBo Hale and I have decided that we don't want to just have 50 years together, we want forever…I asked Lauren if she would help out with that and she kindly agreed. So after the Honeymoon I'm going to have Lauren change me into a Lycan."
