Chapter 15

Bo/Dyson

Bo found her way down the hallway towards Kenzi's guestroom. She was about to open the door when she decided to take a minute and collect herself before entering. She didn't want to walk in there and start screaming at Trick and Kenzi, plus she had no idea how Dyson was. That was the second time in two days that she had lost control and hurt him, she was already embarrassed enough, she didn't need to add a third incident to the list. Taking deep breaths, Bo leaned her forehead against the door, trying her best to will away the thoughts of Lauren and Evony together.

She knew that Lauren and her had only 'known' each other for two days, but the jealousy that ran through her body made her want to lose control and lash out completely. First it was Nadia, now it was Evony, Bo began to wonder just how many women Lauren had been with before choosing her. Not that she had any right to be jealous, since she's a succubus who feeds off sexual energy, but the thought of Lauren with anyone else made her crazy. With every breath Bo tried her best to be reasonable, she knew she was being unfair and that Lauren had no idea who she was until a few days ago, but that didn't make the pain or jealousy go away. She couldn't believe that an hour ago she was worried about the Trials, now all of that seemed so far away and pointless. Trying her best to reign in her inner beast, Bo took one last deep breath before turning the knob and entering the guestroom.

Once in the candlelit room, Bo noticed Dyson's body laying still on the king size bed. Afraid that she severely hurt him, Bo took a few quick steps to the empty chair next to him and sat down quickly.

"Dyson, can you hear me?" She asked softly while taking his hand into hers and squeezing it gently.

"Yes, I'm fine." He responded, smiling slightly at the feel of Bo's hand on his. "That's the second time you kicked my ass in two days, I don't remember you being that strong before."

"It must be because of my rigorous training programs." Bo laughed out. "I'm sorry Dyson, I shouldn't have assumed you were hiding things from me. This whole 'bond' has me going crazy. I'm feeling things I've never felt before; I swear I'm not usually this territorial and crazy."

"You don't have to apologize…I'm familiar with the feeling." Dyson mumbled out while pulling his hand out of Bo's soft grip, so he could rest his back against the beds headboard.

"You do?" Bo asked confused. She knew wolves mated for life, but Dyson never mentioned anything about a wife or girlfriend, and by the looks of his bachelor pad, it was clear that no woman was sharing the apartment with him. As she sat there confused, she wondered who this mysterious woman was and why she felt a hint of jealousy creep through her. "I didn't know you were seeing someone…"

"I'm not…it's not like that." He said, shifting awkwardly on the bed. "The thing that I wanted to tell you after the trials had nothing to do with Lauren. You're right, I knew that the Morrigan was sleeping with her, but that's none of my business and it's definitely not my place to say anything. Yours and Lauren's relationship is obviously personal, I've been trying my best to stay out of it."

"Thank you, Dyson. I know I shouldn't have reacted the way I did. Ever since I reunited with Lauren, the bond has been getting stronger and stronger. It's making me act like an immature, hormonal teenager." Bo huffed out, still slightly confused. "If that's not what you wanted to tell me, than what do you have to tell me?"

"Honestly, with everything that happened tonight and with the Trials tomorrow, we should probably wait to discuss it." Dyson replied.

"No, I want everything out on the table before I go to the Trials tomorrow. If I don't find out the truth now, I might not live long enough to ever find out." Bo said eagerly. "Kenzi already knows everything, why can't I?"

"You've really never been a patient person have you?" Dyson asked as a sly grin crept across his face. "If you must know… You're my mate."

Bo leaned back in her chair in complete shock. This could not be true. First it was Lauren with Nadia and Evony, now Dyson was thrown into this mess. None of this made any sense, there was no way she could be Dyson's mate if she already had her own mate. "Excuse me?"

"You're my mate…" Dyson repeated warily, unsure if he should be expecting another beat down from the succubus. "It's actually a really long and complex story…"

"Considering I told Lauren to report back to Evony tonight, and the fact that I could potentially die tomorrow because of her 'ex-lover', I have loads of time." Bo replied annoyed. "Explain to me how this is possible. My life is turning out to be some ridiculous love square or polygon or whatever! Were we all just fucking each other before?! How can I be your mate when I already have my own mate! "

"Bo it's really late, and no offense, but I just got knocked unconscious for a good ten minutes. As angry as you are, all I want to do is lay in my own bed." Dyson moaned out, desperately trying not to have this conversation tonight. "I would have left on my own already, but Trick refuses to let me drive home because he's afraid I'll pass out again."

"I'll make you a deal." Bo replied as she stood from her chair. "If I drive you home tonight, you have to explain everything to me in the car."

"OK, deal." Dyson groaned. "Before we go, I need to go upstairs to talk to Kenzi and Trick. I just want to let them know everything is fine and that you will be driving me home. Plus, I have a few things I want to discuss with Trick before our final training session tomorrow morning."

"Sounds good." Bo smiled back, happy that Dyson was willing to explain all of this to her. "I need to go to my room and grab my jacket and a few things. I'll meet you upstairs in fifteen."

As Dyson watched Bo exit the room, an overwhelming amount of anxiety flooded his senses. He knew that explaining everything to her wouldn't change anything, that's why he didn't mind waiting until after the Trials. Bo was eventually going to ask him about their past relationship, he just wasn't prepared to have the conversation tonight. Dyson knew better than to lie to Bo, he had always planned on being honest with her, especially since keeping secrets from her nearly destroyed their relationship in the past. Obviously he was still in love with her, but things had gotten easier for him over the past three years when they had been forced to be apart. Now that they had been training together for the past three days, the sick realization that he was still in love with her, and would always want his mate began to sit in. Dyson knew he had to be a strong person in this situation because he ruined everything when the Norn took his love away. Bo had moved on and picked someone else. Even though he didn't find out until recently that she actually bonded with Lauren, he needed to try his best to be supportive because Bo was happy and her happiness meant everything to him.

Bo/Lauren

Bo quickly walked down the hallway towards her guestroom to wash up and grab her jacket. As she entered her room, she immediately saw Lauren sitting at the end of her bed. Unable to stop her stomach from dropping to the floor in complete shock, she leaned her back against the door, trying her best to catch her breath.

"Lauren." She breathed out. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm not leaving you tonight or ever." Lauren responded matter-of-factly. "I know you told me to go back to Evony, but the only place I want to be is here with you."

"I don't have time for this right now, Lauren." Bo responded sternly, not bothering to look at Lauren while she searched her room for her jacket.

Lauren couldn't stop the tears that began to stream down her face. She couldn't handle how upset Bo was and the thought of losing her made her physically sick. "Bo, we can't leave things like this…not when the Trials are tomorrow night."

"I don't care about the Trials anymore." Bo retorted while she continued her search around the room. "After all the bullshit that's been going on tonight, the Trials seem like a fucking cake walk."

"LOOK AT ME!" Lauren yelled, finally standing up from the bed to face Bo. "This isn't just about you, it's about me too! We are bonded! If you die tomorrow, we don't know how that will affect me too! I physically feel sick to my stomach because you're upset with me, I can't imagine how it would feel if I lost you forever! Give me a chance to be with you, I just met you two days ago and you already mean everything to me!"

Bo stood completely still while her eyes flashed blue momentarily before returning to their dark brown color. She knew she had clearly pissed Lauren off, but she didn't know that pissed off Lauren could be so hot.

"Bo, are you serious right now?" Lauren asked, semi-smiling while wiping the tears from her eyes. "Did I just turn you on?"

"What? No…You didn't turn me on…" Bo trailed off, hoping her eyes wouldn't flash blue again.

"You're eyes turned blue." Lauren responded, taking a step towards Bo so their faces were inches apart.

"No they didn't." Bo fired back quickly, trying her best to concentrate on anything else besides Lauren's hand that was inching its way under her shirt.

"You have a terrible poker face." Lauren said, kissing Bo softly on the lips while continuing to inch her hands slowly up Bo's stomach. "Will you please let me stay here with you tonight?"

"Lauren…" Bo whimpered out while stilling Lauren's movements. "I can't concentrate when you're this close to me, never mind when you're touching me. Can you please take a few steps back, so I can think clearly? All I want to do right now is fuck you and clearly we have a lot we need to discuss."

Lauren kissed Bo once more on the lips before taking a few steps backwards towards the bed. "Is this better?"

"Much better…thanks." Bo smiled and sighed with relief. "I know I'm acting immature, but I can't help it. Hearing about Evony kissing you today made me go out of my mind. On top of it, she's basically trying to kill me and you've been sleeping with her for three years. I know I have no right to be jealous since we've only known each other for a few days, but I literally have no control over the 'succubus'. She's territorial, possessive and currently pissed off."

"Bo, you and the 'succubus' are the same person. You have full control over yourself, the bond is just making things difficult." Lauren responded reassuringly. "The bond makes us connected, both physically and mentally. It's perfectly normal that we are both having a hard time adjusting. Look at how difficult it is for us to be in the same room and not have sex right now. If it's that hard to stop ourselves from physically acting out, do you think it's going to be any easier mentally?"

"No, I guess you're right." Bo answered. "I never thought about it that way."

"This is new for both of us and we're going to have to start going through things together." Lauren said as she took a step towards Bo. "I know you're pissed off at me right now, I'd be upset too if I were you. Just let me stay here with you tonight and we can start figuring everything out after you make it through the Trails. You also haven't fed since last night; you need all the energy you can get before tomorrow."

"Then what?" Bo responded angrily. "You're going to sleep here then report back to Evony in the morning?"

"I'm going to have to go back to the labs tomorrow, it's my job." Lauren answered while taking another step towards Bo. "Like you said in Trick's study, just because I have to report back to Evony, it doesn't mean I have to tell her the whole truth. After the Trials we all need to sit down and figure out a plan together."

"We have to figure out more than just Evony." Bo said harshly.

"I know. We have a lot more to figure out about our past, how we're going to take down Evony and the Dark and how we're going to restore everyone's memories, but we really don't have to talk about that right now." Lauren said, taking one last step towards Bo and wrapping her arms around her waist.

"There's something else…" Bo mumbled out.

"What is it?" Lauren asked curiously while planting a kiss on Bo's neck.

"When I went to go check on how Dyson was doing, he told me what he was planning on telling me after the trails." Bo answered. She knew Lauren was clearly thrown off because she stopped kissing her neck.

"What did he have to tell you?" Lauren asked sternly while loosening her grip on Bo, so she could look her in the eyes.

"I'm Dyson's mate…" Bo finally said.

"You're his mate?" Lauren repeated as she stumbled back to the bed and took a seat. "How…how is that possible?"

"I don't know. He said if I drove him back to his apartment tonight he would explain everything in the car." Bo answered. "I'm supposed to meet him upstairs now."

"Are you coming back?" Lauren asked nervously.

"I don't know, Lauren. It depends how long this takes." Bo responded as she grabbed her leather jacket and walked towards the bedroom door. "I have a lot to think about and a lot to figure out."

"I'll be here waiting for you, regardless of what you choose." Lauren answered softly, trying her best not to cry as she watched Bo walk away from her for a second time tonight.
