Author's Note: Here's another chapter for you guys. After the chapter I posted last night, I was flooded with pretty intense reviews. I understand that there are a lot of Doccubus fans here, and I appreciate the reviews, but I think things are getting a little crazy. This is my story that I am writing for my own enjoyment, as well as for Lost Girl fans. Until last night I truly enjoyed everyone's reviews and comments, but now I just feel like I'm being bullied into writing what you guys want instead of what I want. I already have a pretty good idea of where this story and the characters are going to go. I'm sorry if you don't like where this is headed or if this story no longer suits you. I think I've done a pretty good job so far with exploring these characters and their relationships. Like I said in a previous chapter, I have the characters best interests in mind. That being said, I don't like being bullied into writing something just to please everyone else. I'll always appreciate and enjoy your reviews and "constructive criticisms", but I'm not changing the direction of my story because people are pissed off that things aren't turning out they way they wanted it to. I like my story and where it's going, if I lose followers because of that than so be it.

I'm sorry if this is coming off as bitchy, but I really don't enjoy being told what to write. This is the one and only time I'm going to confront this, so I decided it was best to get everything out of the way in one post.

Thanks again for reading and I hope most of you continue to follow my story.

Chapter 16

Bo/Dyson

The first five minutes of their car ride was painstakingly silent. Bo thought they would just get into the car and start talking about everything right away, but it had been the exact opposite. There was this unresolved silence between them, mostly due to the fact that neither of them knew how to start the conversation, and both weren't entirely sure they should even be talking about it in the first place. Bo knew she was in love with Lauren and that leaving her crying back on her bed was probably the worst decision she ever made, but she needed to know more about her past. She was more curious about finding out why they broke up and how her and Lauren came to be, more than her and Dyson actually dating.

"So… are we going to get this conversation started or are we going to sit in silence the entire car ride?" Bo asked, staring at the dark empty road in front of her.

"What exactly do you want to know, Bo?" Dyson huffed out. "Just because you're my mate doesn't mean that you have to be with me. Your mate is Lauren, I don't think we have much to talk about."

Bo knew Dyson had a point. Her feelings for Lauren were a lot stronger than her feelings for him, but she still needed to find out what went wrong. If she was his mate at some point, they must have been together long enough for them to discuss mating as an option. If that were true, she wondered what went wrong to cause them to break up and for her to find someone else.

"Why are you not my mate anymore?" Bo asked curiously. "Something must have gone wrong if I left you and found a completely new mate."

"It's my fault…I ruined everything." Dyson said, finally taking his eyes off the road to look at Bo. "We had been sleeping together for awhile off and on. At first it was strictly for healing purposes, then it became something more. Eventually I told you that I wanted to be with you, and I explained that wolves mate for life. You said you understood and that you wanted to try to be in a monogamous relationship with me."

"Ok…and then what?" Bo asked hurriedly.

"I had kept secrets from you, mostly about your past. I wanted to tell you sooner, but Trick made me wait. When I finally did, it didn't go over well and you basically stopped trusting me." Dyson replied. "Shortly after, you ended up getting into a bad situation with another succubus. I was nervous that you weren't going to be able to defeat her on your own and you didn't trust me enough to let me help you, so I went to see the Norn.

"What's a Norn?" Bo quickly interrupted Dyson.

"A Norn is a type of Fae that is capable of granting a person's strongest desire in exchange for what he or she holds dearest. When the exchange is made, the Norn keeps whatever was sacrificed in a bottle." Dyson explained. "I went there and asked her to give you my strength in exchange for my wolf. At the time I thought my wolf was the most important thing to me, but really it was you. For that reason, the Norn took my love for you instead of my wolf."

"She took your love away?" Bo asked shocked. "I didn't even know that was possible."

"I didn't either, but you ended up defeating the succubus." Dyson responded. "When I told you the truth, you were upset at first, but eventually you were able to move on. That's when you started seeing Lauren. I also began seeing other people and things between us were pretty good, but not being able to love you or anyone else started to have negative effects on me."

"That must have been terrible for you, Dyson." Bo said worriedly. "I'm so sorry that you had to go through all of that just to protect me. I couldn't imagine what that must have felt like. Why didn't we just go back to the Norn and ask for your love back in exchange for something else?"

"I did, but she refused to give it back to me because I had nothing else to offer." Dyson informed her. "Kenzi knew how badly it was affecting me and became worried. She went to the Norn by herself and got my love back. I didn't tell you for awhile, and by that time I did, you were already in a committed relationship with Lauren."

Bo sat in silence for a while. Nothing in this world seemed to be easy. She couldn't believe Dyson would sacrifice all of that just to protect her, but she knew she couldn't change any of that now. She had never felt so conflicted in her entire life, well maybe she had before she lost her memory, but none of that mattered now. She had a feeling her relationship with Dyson and Lauren was even more complex than this, but at least she knew one thing for sure, she was in love with Lauren.

"I'm sorry for the awkward silence…it's just a lot for me to take in." Bo mumbled, finally pulling up to a parking space in front of Dyson's apartment building. "Not to change the subject completely, but who was the succubus I defeated? Why were you so convinced that I would fail?"

"We can talk about the other succubus after the Trials." Dyson answered as he unbuckled his seat belt. "I know you're probably going to fight me on this, but that story is way too complicated for me to explain in one evening."

"Ok, as long as you promise to fill me in once I survive the Trials." Bo agreed. "Thanks for taking the time to explain everything to me tonight; I'm sorry that I didn't say much."

"Don't apologize, I completely understand." Dyson said while exiting the door-less Jeep. "If you wanted to, you could come upstairs with me and we can finish discussing our previous relationship..."

"As curious as I am about all of this, I think I've heard enough for tonight, and Lauren is waiting for me back at the Dal." Bo replied apologetically. "I want to spend the night with her since it could be my last night. I know everything is crazy right now, but if I make it through the trials tomorrow, I'd really like to see where things go with Lauren and I. This bond is new to me and scary, but I love her and I know she loves me too. I really care about you Dyson, I probably always will in a way, and I really appreciate everything that you've done for me. I hope things don't change between us and we can stay in each other's lives…"

"I'll always be here for you, Bo." Dyson said as he took a step away from the car towards his apartment. "I knew telling you this wouldn't change anything, I just wanted you to know the truth. I'll see you tomorrow morning for training."

Bo watched Dyson until he disappeared into the apartment building. She knew she still had so much to learn, especially who that other succubus was that she fought, but her main concern right now was getting back to Lauren as quickly as possible.

Bo/Lauren

Bo ran as fast as she could through the Dal, down the stairs and towards her guestroom. She couldn't shake the uneasy feeling that Lauren wasn't going to be there when she returned. If she wasn't, Bo knew she deserved it. As she approached the room, she took one last breath before opening the door slowly, terrified that she was going to be stuck without her mate the night before the Trials.

"Lauren." Bo whispered out when she saw Lauren sitting at the end of her bed, just as she had left her. "I thought…I was so scared that you weren't going to be here when I got back."

"I told you I'd wait for you." Lauren answered, still clearly upset with everything that was happening. "How did everything go with Dyson?"

Bo swiftly removed her jacket and knelt down between Lauren's legs. She wrapped her arms around her waist and eagerly pressed Lauren's body into hers. Bo knew she had a lot to explain to Lauren, but the only thing she wanted to do was show Lauren how much she loved her.

"I'm so sorry for walking away from you like that; I should have never acted so immaturely." Bo said as she gently pressed a kiss against Lauren's lips. "When Dyson told me I was his mate, I couldn't help but be curious about my past. I was also really upset about you and Evony, I know that's not an excuse, but I needed some time to get my head on straight."

"Are you Dyson's mate?" Lauren asked while Bo continued to leave lingering kisses down her neck.

Bo cradled Lauren's face in her hands and looked straight into her honey brown eyes. "I am his mate, but he's not mine."

"Are you sure?" Lauren whimpered out as Bo gently wiped a stray tear from her face. "I don't want you to feel like you have to be with me just because we are bonded."

"I don't feel that way at all, Lauren." Bo replied while gently pushing Lauren back onto the bed, so she could lie on top of her. "Right now I'm not sure about anything, but I know I want to be with you tonight and not him."

"What about after the Trials?" Lauren asked as she spread her legs wider, allowing Bo to lie flush against her body.

"I want to work on our relationship and our bond." Bo responded, planting wet kisses down Lauren's neck towards her chest. "I know we have a lot to discuss and a lot to work on, but I'd still like to take you out on that date…if you'd let me…"

Lauren tried to focus her attention on what Bo was saying, and not the sensation of her blouse being suddenly ripped open. As she felt Bo's kisses travel south on her stomach towards her jeans, she began to forget everything that happened and why she was upset with Bo. Only when the succubus stopped her movements in order to unbutton Lauren's jeans, did the doctor realize what was happening.

"I'll go on a date with you under one condition." Lauren said, stilling Bo's hands as she looked down at the succubus between her legs. "Next time an incident like this happens, you have to talk to me like an adult instead of storming out of the room like a child."

"Did you just call me a child?" Bo repeated, lifting her head up from Lauren's center as her eyes flared blue.

"Yes. I did." Lauren answered grinning. "You acted like a big succubus baby earlier and it really pissed me off."

Bo's eyes continued to glow blue as she inched her way back up Lauren's body. "I'm not sure I want to stop acting like a child…pissed off Lauren is pretty sexy."

"You like pissed off Lauren?" She asked while wrapping her arms around Bo.

"I do." Bo smiled, placing another soft kiss on her lips while grinding her hips into Lauren's center.

Right as Bo began to remove the doctor's bra, she felt Lauren's hands grab onto her sides and forcefully pushed her off of her. Not expecting the sudden shift in weight, Bo flew off the bed, taking the bedside lamp with her before crashing to the ground.

"Lauren! What the hell!" Bo yelled out from the ground.

"You're not getting any of this until you promise me." Lauren said, laughing from the bed as she looked down at the disheveled succubus.

Bo was about to respond when the door to their room suddenly flew open as Kenzi came barreling in, holding a wooden stool in her hands.

"ALRIGHT YOU FAE BITCHES! WHO'S TRYING TO MESS WITH MY BFF!" Kenzi yelled, looking frantically around the room before eyeing the half naked doctor on the bed and the glaring succubus on the floor. "You've got to be shitting me! Honestly…I DON'T even want to know what you two are doing to each other."

"Wait! It's not what it looks like..." Bo said as she stood from the floor. "We were just…talking."

"Whatever you kids are calling it these days, Bo-bo." Kenzi yelled out from the hallway, already on her way back to her room. "LAUREN YOU BETTER BE GENTLE! YOUR GIRL HAS THE TRIALS TOMORROW!"

Lauren and Bo looked at each other and began to laugh uncontrollably. The night had started out terribly, but the only thing they could do now was focus on the positives and try to work through their obstacles together.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to push you that hard." Lauren laughed out. "I think I may be getting stronger, or Dyson is just doing a terrible job with training you."

"I think you are getting stronger." Bo smiled back at her, finally climbing back onto the bed to resume her previous position. "I'm assuming you're going to run more tests on this tomorrow?"

"Definitely." Lauren responded, lifting her head up slightly to kiss Bo tenderly. "Do you promise not to act like a child next time?"

"I promise." Bo agreed. "But can pissed off Lauren stay for the night?"

"Perhaps…" Lauren whispered into Bo's ear. "How do you plan on getting me riled up?"
