A/N: As always thanks for continuing to follow this story and adding it to your favorites you guys are the best. I love all the reviews so keep them coming and I'm ecstatic everyone is enjoying this story. To Chris, welcome back, and I am happy that you like how it is turning out. I might have a sequel planned. I'm playing with the idea still. To Huntress01, I'm glad you like how Lauren is turning out. The plan was always to show her struggling with who she was as a human verse who she truly is. This chapter finally shows the seethe accepting that she is one in the same. To everyone, I think this chapter was long awaited for so enjoy! A lot of Odin in this chapter but it is relevant to what happens later in this story.
As the smoke was still forming Lauren turned her head slightly to Kenzi, "Whatever he says don't listen to him Kenzi." She didn't have time to warn her further as the black smoke was almost done taking form.
The wandered stood still turning his head side to side. His facial expressions remained emotionless as he watched the seethe protect the half fae. Odin wondered if the seethe was protecting this small half fae because of her importance to his daughter or if the seethe herself cared for her. His eyes moved from the blonde's to the small goth that was half behind her. He was positive now that some of her human feelings carried over to her true fae self. The half breed was curious as she peered around the blonde. He took a step towards them as he started to speak, "I was coming here to speak to the seethe and in a pleasant turn of events I get to meet you Kenzi. It is Kenzi right?"
Lauren took a step towards Odin keeping Kenzi away from him. "You came to see me so talk Odin, leave her out of this she has nothing to do with us."
The wanderer tilted his head as he listened to the seethe. The corner of his mouth twitched but no grin formed on his face. "Did you forget your human manners seethe? I was addressing Kenzi, it seems to me she is capable of talking for herself." Completely ignoring Lauren he talked directly to the hybrid. "I now can see why you did it child. You felt inferior to everyone around you even when you thought Lauren was human. The doctor was needed she knew all things fae. They needed her to help with cases to identify specimens, but you, you just volunteered. The human tag along, treated like a pet by almost all fae, even when your boyfriend was the Ash. He forgot about you, tossed to the side your importance irrelevant, the simple human. I understand why you risked your life to become fae you didn't belong in their world no matter how hard you tried to joke your way through it. You knew you were truly never needed. Child you saw for yourself how strong my daughter was becoming. Matter of fact you felt like you made things more difficult on her by being there. You were just someone else to protect which put her life in more danger. Feeling more left out when she was going through her Dawning then even the fake human."
The blonde was yelling in the background for Kenzi to ignore the wanderer to block him out. The goth was trying to listen to Lauren trying to block out the things he was saying. Problem was she knew there was truth to what he was saying. Truths that she didn't even want to face, and yet this stranger knew them. Not only did he know them he knew how much they hurt. His words were like weapons cutting deeper and deeper with each sentence. It was as if he tried to look sympathetic. Like he was trying to understand her thoughts and feelings, and that made it even harder to ignore him. For the longest time she wanted someone to understand her and now she was finding it in the most unlikely place. The truth hurt and this was her truth.
The wanderer tilted his head down trying to catch Kenzi's eye but she didn't look up. She was ashamed. Ashamed of how she felt, ashamed that she never told anyone, and ashamed that the words were coming from his mouth not hers. Lauren continued to try and get the hybrid's attention but she knew that Odin was already in her head. She knew what he was capable of. The blonde could only imagine how easy it was at that time to get Bo. No one was there the whole group was split up all in different directions. None of them knew where the other one was and each one assumed someone was with Bo. Not one of them thought that Bo could be alone, not even her. She realized in that minute that she was hurt from Bo leaving Taft Industries but was she any better. It wasn't like she got up and ran after her to explain or to help. Instead she ran like Kenzi said she ran thinking Dyson was better for her and not wanting to be in the way. Or to watch the reunion, she assumed would happen, and that is one of the worst things that can be done. On the other hand Kenzi was also right that if she didn't run she wouldn't have broken the curse and it was a good thing she did because there was two battles forming. She realized the possibility that Odin might work with these fae. He was capable of leadership he has shown that, and he clearly wanted revenge on the seethe. Lauren knew he must have been waiting a long time to make a connection with her again. Bo gave him that by protecting her. Taping into those powers, his powers brought his essence back to this realm and she knew he wasn't going to stop till he got back in his physical form.
Lauren stood in between Odin and Kenzi giving up on trying to break through the mental intimidation he now had on the half breed. "This is what you have become Odin. I knew I banished you I didn't know I broke you to pick on half fae. Is that how you feel powerful nowadays?"
This caught his attention as he finally acknowledged her presence in the room once again. "Did you know seethe? Did you know how your, friend, was pushing for Isabeau to be with the shifter. Always favoring the wolf like one of his pups," he slightly rocked his head back as laughter came out of the essence, "She never accepted you seethe. Now, now is different, now they all need you. You became the most important one when your true self was revealed. Seethe you were no better. Blaming all of them for so many things but when you came back when your strength was better you didn't seek them out did you?"
The blonde cut him off, "I told you before Odin your word manipulation doesn't work on me. I had problems with them but we laid it all out. There is blame all around. Now what did you come here for?" Her eyes were a radiant green. He was always good at this but his games would not work on a seethe. The main concern for her was to get him out of there so she could help Kenzi. She looked so broken at the things he said. It was sickening to know this man was Bo's father. How different the two were, her Bo was nothing like this man. In that moment she was thankful that Trick helped get Bo away from the fae world. One of the things that made Bo so special was her feelings and love towards humanity. It would have been completely different if Bo was raised by either of her true parents. Neither was capable of love and warmth. She realized how both her and Bo were fae believing they were human. For a brief time in their life making them different then other fae because they got to see and feel things that other fae didn't.
Odin completely lost interest in further tormenting the hybrid. Now his full attention was back on Lauren. Giving his best attempt at looking innocent he cracked a half attempt at a smile. His eyes were so dark they almost looked like liquid black. His thin lips were twitching as if they were being willed into a grin. "Why else would I see you seethe? I was hoping you made a choice. Or did you plan on drawing this out? Wasn't that the reason you were upset with Isabeau, her inability to decide. Two choices are seemingly very complicated to you seethe. It is either my unmatched ferocious warrior, or my blood my daughter." He knew his words wouldn't penetrate the blonde but he wasn't trying to. Instead he was watching for reactions. Wanting to see if she would even flinch at any of his words, but the blonde stayed strong keeping no reaction on her face. Not even lifting an eyebrow or a twitch in the eye. Her abilities to block him out were enraging to him.
Lauren looked entertained by his current words. "Looking to be a grandfather Odin?"
There was no sign of shock or surprise as he moved suddenly in front of her. He was so close to Lauren, if he was in physical form she would be able to feel his breathe on her face. She stood her ground not taking her eyes off of him. The seethe didn't even take a step back. "Did Isabeau tell you, her true love, or her dearest friend, of who she really is? Did she tell you of the hundreds of human and fae she killed in the short time she was in my realm? Did she tell you how she liked it? You can mock me all you want seethe but it will never change that she is MY daughter. Dark warrior or dark princess chose wisely, my return depends on it." With those last words the black smoke vanished. The seethe stayed there contemplating what he just said. Was he trying to direct her to choose one or the other and which one was he pushing for? The bigger question was would it really lead to his release? It definitely meant something to him for Odin to be this invested. She knew she needed to reach full strength as soon as possible. The wanderer had plans and she didn't want to be caught off guard especially with him.
Clearing her thoughts Lauren ran to Kenzi grabbing her shoulders she tried to get her attention but she looked so torn so broken. She shook her very lightly, "Kenzi, hey listen to me." Still no response, you could tell his words were playing through her head hurting her to the core. The seethe pulled out her cell phone and called Bo.
Bo was lying in bed when her cell phone went off. At first it felt like a dream but the consistent ringing finally woke her up. Who the hell would be calling her at close to 2am. "Hello?" she grumbled into the phone.
"Bo its Lauren, I am sorry to call so late Kenzi came here to talk to me about an hour ago and we got caught up talking. Your father just showed up and put his word magic on Kenzi. I'm trying to get through to her but I think she needs you." Lauren had slight concern in her voice but she wasn't panicking.
Bo on the other hand did panic. She clearly remembered the things her father said to her and how they felt so real. Even worse was how much those words hurt. The succubus jumped out of the bed, "Lo I'll be right there." She hung up the phone not waiting for a response. She needed to get dressed and get to Lauren's.
Lauren went over to the intercom and hit the button. It took only a second for Deco to answer, "Yes?"
"Deco, I am expecting another visitor shortly. I am not sure if you will still be here or not. If not please leave a note that Bo is coming to visit. You can't miss her hot sexy brunette succubus. Let her in you don't need to buzz me."
"I should still be here. I remember her. I will send her right up." Deco hung up the phone he would have to let Evony know about this but not tonight. Tonight he didn't want to hear the Morrigan's mouth.
Walking away from the intercom she noticed Kenzi wasn't standing where she was before. In the corner of her eye she saw her, now sitting on her couch. It was shocking to see Kenzi look so hurt and defeated. Lauren knelt down in front of the small hybrid. She had her hands folded on her lap. The seethe placed her hands over Kenzi's. "Kenzi listen to me, before you wanted me to listen to you, now it's your turn. This is what Odin does. It is his specialty." It tore the seethe up to see the goth so broken.
She looked at Lauren with those bright blue eyes that suddenly had so much sadness to them. "Is he a telepath like you?"
"No he thankfully doesn't have that ability. What he can do is read fears and doubts. He can sense them and he preys on them. He uses them to hurt you to break you so that anger and rage fill you. Then you are willing to work with him to do as he pleases because suddenly you feel like someone sees the real you. Accepts and doesn't judge the real person you are. He takes the truth and manipulates it to do what he just did. This is why so many were willing to fight for him, to fight beside him. He has many fae powers as well but this one gives him an advantage especially since he is only an essence right now. When you are angry when you are filled with rage you feel stronger. You feel unstoppable and it leads you to believe by his side you will succeed."
The blonde saw that Kenzi was listening to what she was saying. Maybe playing over what he said in her head verses what Lauren was telling her. Lauren gave a soft smile, "Listen you and Bo like to quote movies, well I got one for you. Odin feeds on fear. I believe Yoda said fear is the path to the dark side or in our case the dark fae. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and hate leads to suffering. That is the wanderer."
This seemed to break through to Kenzi. The tears that threatened to spill over were no longer filling with more water. "You watched Star Wars doc?" Lauren smiled and nodded. "What you're telling me is Bo's father is Darth Vader?"
The seethe contemplated the comparison. "In a way yes only a lot more dangerous and with the ability to get inside your head, and of course there was never any good in him."
"Her father is a huge mega douche."
"That's putting it gently. I am surprised you stayed so quiet."
Kenzi gave a small smirk, "Yeah well he kind of hit me with that freaky shit. Frigging totally blindsided me and with his creepy words."
Thankfully she was able to get through to Kenzi she got up and got her something a little stronger than wine. Coming back in the hybrid already was starting to look slightly better. She looked up at Lauren, "Why didn't you just kill his ass."
Sitting across from Kenzi she sighed, "When I fought Odin I was at 89% of my energy. There were many fae who fought to end the war and the feud between Dark and Light. I tried to use telepathy, while using telekinesis to protect the fae who deserved to live for centuries, and fight Odin all at once. The wanderer was incredibly strong and powerful so it was draining me quickly. First I gave up the telepathy no longer trying to read and predict his next move and strictly count on telekinesis. I was still draining at a high rate so I had to stop protecting the fae and many died without my protection. He was weakening but so was I. In that moment I knew killing him was no longer an option. I used the power I had left to banish him and imprisoned him to that realm. By the time it was finished my energy was 18%."
The dark haired girl drank her drink like it was a shot as Lauren told her story. "That is some shit. Basically what you're telling me is if he gets here we are all getting our asses kicked. I think I'm going to need something stronger. Oh and I'm staying here tonight you have three extra bedrooms and I don't need any craziness happening at the crack shack. "
"Kenzi I will make sure nothing happens to any of you. Of course you can stay here." Lauren got up to get the bottle of tequila for the hybrid.
"What he said I did but only because I was trying to protect Bo. I did push for Dyson. You screwed up a lot with Bo and I warned you. Dick move on Vader's part. He was wrong on one thing; I knew I was wrong before I knew you were the seethe. What you have done for all of us, for Bo, even for Dyson. Sorry Lauren."
"You've got a way of growing on people Kenzi."
"Same to you all powerful seethe," she poured Lauren a drink to have with her. The seethe was glad to see Kenzi coming back around. Odin is not easy to push out of your mind. She realized that the goth was a lot stronger than she ever gave her credit for.
The seethe leaned forward, "Kenzi what he said was wrong. They needed human me but I was always in a lab stuck as a slave. You were free and you chose to fight by their side. Just a human with no powers fighting with some pretty strong fae, no one was ever superior to you, in fact it was the opposite. We all could have learned something from you. I did earlier this evening so let's drink to that." The blonde took a sip from her tequila. The liquid warmed her throat. It wasn't her personal choice but for the goth she would drink it. "Hell even look at you now. Bo couldn't resist her father's persuasion but you did."
She clicked glasses with Lauren and finished another shot. "You helped."
"Barely," she sat back in the seat knowing that Kenzi was going to be okay.
CRACK SHACK
When Bo hung up the phone she ran to her closet and got clothes out. Putting on her black pants with one of her low-neck tank tops, she grabbed her boots, belt, and leather jacket. She was getting her keys when she saw the smoke filling in the room right by her side. Least she knew he wasn't going to go back after Lauren and Kenzi. Placing her keys back down she waited to face the man she hasn't seen in three weeks. She hoped she was strong enough to face him this time, and then she realized she was full of Lauren's chi her strength was heightened. Smiling she knew this time wouldn't play out like their last meeting.
The wanderer was looking at his daughter it has only been three weeks but he could feel the change. He was smiling on the inside as much as he could. He could feel the seethe's energy in her, the heightened strength and powers. It was even more then when he combined his essence to her to bring Dyson back to life. Odin knew he had to tread lightly with Bo she wasn't the same broken woman he found five months ago. He gave himself some credit for that. He opened her eyes to her true self her true abilities. The wanderer knew she used them the second she left. He felt it in his once ruled realm. She brought the half fae back to life. That was when he knew she escaped that the portal opened for her. The anger that filled him at losing Isabeau before he was ready for her to leave enraged him. That day alone he killed almost a 100 fae and human alike. The species didn't matter to him just the feeling of fear and death was his only calming point. His eyes narrowed as he watched his daughter. "Hello Isabeau."
Bo surprised herself she feared ever having to lay eyes upon this man again. The nightmares that would consume her remembering the time she spent with him. She thought she wouldn't be strong enough to see him again and was not looking forward to the day she would. Now he was here and she didn't feel fear at all. "You came a long way to say hi," the succubus teased her father.
Odin knew from the moment he saw her that she wouldn't break easy. The seethe made her stronger then he could have hoped. "You left without saying good bye. After all we went through together it wasn't very polite to leave the same way your prisoner mother did."
"Like I told you when I first met you, my friends needed me. You made me a monster." The brunette stood her ground. She wasn't going to let this man get to her again. In a way she felt sorry for Aifie the way she ended up was because of this man in front of her.
Odin's lips twitched slightly at her words. "No child that's where you are wrong. I never forced you to do anything. As I said when we first met I would not push anything on you the way they do in this realm. Still hoping you pick Light or Dark, how much longer will it be tolerated? No, I did not force you to be anything. All I did Isabeau was open your eyes and showed you who you are. That is the question you always wanted to know. Who you truly were? Why you were so different? I think I adequately answered those questions. I never forced you to kill you chose to do that."
She wasn't prepared for that. Those words hit her in the gut like a punch but they didn't knock her down like they once would have. Bo knew he was right he didn't force her to kill she lost herself. Now she knew who she was and he would not break her. Not this time, not when she had her family back, the family she chose. Trying not to show his words had any effect she answered him. "You broke me, you took everything I cared for and loved. I was an ass because I listened to a bigger ass. I believed that I lost everyone I loved. Sorry to disappoint you dad but I'm all grown up now."
Her father laughed at her quick response. "Yes, I suppose you are. How is Lauren, Isabeau? Has she chosen you yet?"
That one hurt. He knew her complete weakness and she knew that he was just by Lauren's. It made her wonder how much he did know. She was trying to control her temper. When it came to pushing buttons about Lauren she had a tendency to fall into her anger. Knowing that was what he wanted she was walking a fine line not breaking. Like walking a tight rope made of toothpicks. "I was thinking sometime soon. We haven't had the time to pick the wedding invitations just yet. Sorry, you won't be getting one."
He chose to ignore her sarcasm. He didn't think too much of it. Instead he continued his pursuit on her weakness. "I can understand the conflict. You my daughter are strong, powerful and beautiful. Have you had the pleasure of meeting Shay? I often pursued her unfortunately my gender didn't appeal to the old succubus. She was my right hand during the fae wars. A wonderful asset to helping me achieve many victories. I kept her away from the seethe. Shay is very strong but she wasn't strong enough to win against a seethe. I didn't want to lose my best warrior. It worked better than I could have hoped maybe she will fight by my side again if the seethe chooses you. If the seethe does choose her then it would appear I did her a favor as well. I am sorry child at the same time I could cost you the one your heart truly desires."
Now she officially hated this man more than anyone else she ever met. That included Shay. He always seemed to know the exact thing you didn't want to hear and say it to you. Like having a nightmare and waking up realizing it was real. That was what he did. Her eyes flashed blue. He smiled at her. Bo knew that her father knew Lauren was her pushing point. It was so hard to keep the anger at bay. She wanted to try and attack him but she knew it was pointless. What was she going to fight, air? The succubus closed her eyes and pictured Lauren in her bed earlier this evening. Her conversation with her at the Dal, Lauren could be her weakness but also her strength. She needed to concentrate on the strength on the love. Slowly opening her eyes her brown ones fell upon his, "Lauren already chose me. The seethe is just catching up. You know Shay isn't a threat. After all father you told Lauren that you knew she felt something different with me. I believe it was a connection of some sort. I really can't remember the exact words you said to her we were pretty busy. Gee, I wish I remembered," her sarcastic humor easily falling back in place.
The wanderer knew he would not get anywhere else with Bo tonight. He was satisfied with what he saw for now. "Very well daughter, I hope you are right. As I said Isabeau I only want to see you happy." With that the black smoke evaporated and Bo let out a long breath that she didn't even realize she was holding. The succubus couldn't help but feel a little relief and excitement. She definitely wasn't the same girl he met. Grabbing her keys she headed out the door she needed to get to her lover and her best friend.
LAUREN'S PENTHOUSE
Lauren was laughing at the semi drunk hybrid when she heard the elevator doors. She stayed in her seat as she watched Bo coming down the hallway. Her breathe caught in her throat. Now she remembered why she said breathless. Bo was beautiful from head to toe. Even her movements had the seethe captivated, how could she not have noticed all this before when it suddenly seemed so clear. The succubus was locking eyes with her as she walked in. The seethe couldn't help but think maybe Kenzi woke up something inside her that needed to be woken. Her feelings for Bo were definitely stronger then her feelings for Shay. Part of her started to wonder if she was holding back out of fear that Bo might not be enough to sustain her and she didn't want to hurt her by being with other succubi. Something she would have to do if Bo was not enough for her to reach her full power. In this moment she couldn't help but think maybe Kenzi was right maybe Bo was enough. She leaned over Lauren and gave her a kiss breaking her out of her thoughts before going over to her best friend. It felt like this was how it always was, like how it was always supposed to be.
"Kenz, you okay?" She sat next to her best friend on the couch.
"Oh I am good, have you met my other best friend here. His name is Jose Cuervo." She lifted the bottle to show Bo. "She hid the good stuff but its okay. I love Dr. Hotpants and just so you know I am moving in here. Our place is a real shit hole."
Bo started laughing and looked across to Lauren. "You got her drunk. That was your solution Hotpants?"
Kenzi hit her arm, "No we had all kinds of crazy talks. Met your father, hard to believe he is single. He puts the douche in douche bag. He also did a complete mind fuck and I didn't even get dinner. Then she got me drunk." The goth looked at Lauren and Bo and smiled to herself as she put her head down. "I hate to kill this party but it's late as hell and I'm going to wake up needing a siren type of aspirin. Do I just pick one of the three room's doc?"
"Anyone Kenzi, sky's the limit for you." Kenzi got up and disappeared down the hallway.
The seethe glanced over at her ex. "Took you awhile to get here, did you get lost?"
"Ha ha, no my father decided to visit me after he was done here."
Concern crossed Lauren's face as she got up to sit next to Bo. "What happened? What did he say to you? Did he threaten you?"
Bo loved those green eyes as much as she loved the brown ones. She put her hand on Lauren's leg, "No he didn't threaten me. Well, I don't think he threatened me. Hard to tell, since he threatened that I would lose you, I guess that is a threat. How many times did I just use that word?"
Lauren placed her hands on Bo's face, "Never listen to him. He thrives on fear and doubt hoping to anger you." She softly kissed Bo's forehead, "No one threatens you with me around."
She got up and sat on the seethe's lap putting her hand through her hair, "Lauren its okay, I am fine, and I know what he does. I want to tell you about when I was with him. I did some things that I am not proud of. Things that have been haunting me since I broke free from him."
"I know Bo. He told us what happened while you were there. It wasn't you though. Don't blame yourself. You are the same person I fell in love with different from all the other fae. You never saw anyone human or fae as food. You never let anyone push you into doing anything that you didn't want to do. He made you weak and turned you into whatever he wanted. It is better to be numb near him. You have nothing to explain." She pulled the succubus into a passionate kiss. This felt right. Everything about Bo came natural to Lauren. After she pushed some of her chi into the succubus she broke the connection.
The succubus felt incredible with the seethe's chi flowing into her. She felt like she was glowing. It was hard to regain focus. Her chi really was like a drug and Bo truly felt she couldn't get enough. If this is what addicts felt like she finally understood their need and desire. The brunette could literally feel the difference in her already. Getting a slight grip on herself she was finally able to ask, "What did he say to Kenzi?"
Lauren explained everything that happened when Odin came there. The blonde told Bo that Kenzi came there to thank her for always helping and with helping her control her fae powers and how Odin showed up. She was waiting to tell her the rest of their conversation now wasn't the time. The seethe explained what he did to Kenzi and how she used the Star Wars reference to help her which Bo was cracking up at. "Still a nerd, a powerful sexy fae nerd," her ex said through her laughter.
The seethe found it incredibly cute. Bo explained what her father said to her the first time and how easy it was to crumble to his words. Also letting Lauren know that this time it wasn't as easy that she thinks the seethe's chi gave her strength. This of course made sense there was nothing more powerful than a seethe and she did spend hours with Bo this same night. To heal her wounds required releasing more chi then she was anticipating. She remembered being shocked that Bo's pupils didn't dilate. In fact Bo seemed like herself, well slightly happier. As they talked they cleaned up and finished catching each other up on what happened that night with Odin. Lauren looked at the clock it was now 3am.
She walked up the stairs to her master bedroom as Bo followed. Bo put her arms around her waist, "What do you want to do now?"
"Now I am going to get naked and crawl into that bed with you, but we are going to actually get sleep. This time," the seethe playfully added.
Bo stepped back so she could start to get undressed and Lauren grabbed her hand causing her to look up. "You know Kenzi really is a best friend to you Bo. She came here tonight to tell me what an idiot I have been. To point out the mistakes I have made in this relationship. She made me realize that you were the best thing to happen to me. You freed me Bo. I realized who I was and broke the human slave chains because of you. I believe her exact words were the fae universe sent you to me."
The succubus was so happy that she met Kenzi. Saving her in that bar years ago was one of the best things she ever did. She truly was a sister to Bo in every way, she loved her as a human but she was happy she was half fae because it meant she would have a much longer life. "She did, did she, and what else did my truly smart roomie say?"
Lauren looked up, "That you're a stubborn immature ass."
"Yup, that's Kenzi." Bo couldn't help but laugh.
"She also said you had to be that stubborn immature ass to realize who you truly loved and to set me free. Then she told me that you could be enough to sustain me but I wouldn't know till I gave in and tried with you."
"What do you think of that doctor?" Bo asked as she lightly kissed down Lauren's neck.
"Well my true medical opinion shows that the only way to prove a theory is to test it out." Lauren was giving into the brunette's advances.
Bo stopped briefly. She couldn't help the smile that stretched across her face. "Are you saying what I think you are saying?"
Laughing to herself as she regained control of herself she thought she would mimic what the succubus said to her once. "It's time."
Bo wrapped her arms around Lauren. "Our time never ended." She pulled her lover into a steamy kiss.
"Your right it never did. For us it never will somehow Bo you connected to who I truly am and never in my many years of living did anyone accomplish that." The seethe muttered into the brunette's ear as desire to be intimate with her was taking over yet again.
The succubus could sense her lover's needs and desire growing. She felt hers rise in those few moments with her own need and urgency. It only took seconds for them both to be naked and on Lauren's bed. Every movement was in sync. This was different then the other times she has been with Lauren since her true nature was found out. It was more than desire and need to feel each other intimately. It was to know it was just them nothing else mattered in this moment. There was love, passion, desire in every touch, every kiss and every movement. Bo knew this time there would be no worries she was everything the succubus needed. She was actually more than she needed which meant Bo could never tire her out. The brunette was confident that she would be able to match Lauren's needs as well. She was positive that Lauren wouldn't need another succubus to reach her full power because she could never get enough of her chi.
The clock read a little past 4am; they were lying on their sides satisfied and content. Lauren's arm was over Bo holding her close. The brunette put her hand over Lauren's and moved it down her abdomen. The seethe couldn't help but reach out and read her lover's thoughts. She was picturing a future for them. Of course she was picturing a baby with the seethe and for the first time the thought of it made her smile. She could completely picture it. The blonde didn't care boy or girl it didn't matter. She could only hope that their child wouldn't be as stubborn as their one mom. It was something they would discuss once they took care of the group of fae that was trying to kill her plus Odin's potential return. The seethe knew he was up to something she just couldn't figure out what but she knows Odin and he always has a reason to what he does. There was always an agenda with him. For tonight she wasn't going to worry about Odin or the group of fae. Tonight she was just going to focus on having Bo back in her arms knowing that this time there was no break. This time it was for good and it felt perfect. She had made Bo wait long enough. She didn't think of the talk she would have to have with Shay.
ODIN'S REALM
Cedric was sitting on the floor of the throne room waiting for Odin to return. The dark fae started to drift off as time was passing by. He never heard Odin come back in.
The wanderer stood above Cedric watching his head wobble down. He couldn't help but to think that this was what he was reduced to. Once having Shay as his right hand and now he had some pathetic dark fae that couldn't even stay awake. Odin had a strong desire to wake him up by lifting him to his height by grabbing his throat. He had to close his eyes to get rid of the desire, he still needed Cedric, for now. As if the smaller fae started to sense him his head started to fall back as his eyes were fluttering open. At seeing Odin he jumped to his feet hitting the wall and wobbling sideways.
Odin would roll his eyes if that was something he did. Since it was not in his character he just watched the dark fae flutter about. He needed to get back to his realm. Cedric finally was wide awake and had control over his footing. "Sir, I am sorry it seems I drifted off awaiting your return. Did everything go well?"
The Dark King walked past Cedric to his throne. He spoke as he walked, "Yes it would appear that you fell asleep. Continue to follow the seethe and my daughter as well as continuing your search to find out the fae who are trying to kill the seethe. When the opportunity arises speak to one of the guards in her building his name is Deco he knows of me. Tell him I have plans for him."
Turning as he sat in his chair his liquid black eyes locked onto Cedric's. "Seems the seethe does have a weakness after all, and like pawns on a chess board I moved them how I pleased. The pieces are set as I planned. Now we wait for checkmate." For the first time a true smile formed on the wanderer's face. It wouldn't be much longer now.
