Nadia's POV
I have no idea where I am going. Luckily for me this car has a GPS unit. I thought back to the time they rolled me into the building, that housed my stiff body for years. I remembered the street name and number on the building. I had to remember that if I remembered nothing else.
I took a few deep breaths at a red light and looked back to see if I was being followed, I saw nothing. When the light turned green, I slammed on the accelerator and sped away. If I was reading the thing right, I had about six miles to go. Six.
That's how long it felt like I was in that damn pod. Six years. Lauren's head above mine, mumbling something that did not sound like she was about to lift the curse.
I thought she was smarter than that. Smart enough to know when she had exhausted all Scientific reasoning, she would know it was a curse. But no. She just kept working on any, and everything that wasn't me. I expected her to figure it out in at least a week or month, but not years, and years of my life. Gone.
That's where Lauren was, gone. She had a strange attitude after the first month. I heard the doors opening, and she answered a male voice before the doors closed again.
It was always "Hey babe. I'm still trying to help you", coming out of her mouth.
Liar. She was a straight up liar. How many times had she rambled off that line, like I was a patient she knew nothing about? How many times would she bend over to try, and look me in the eyes, and lie to me? She was out there. She was free. She was free to walk. Free to eat. Free to go somewhere outside of that awful building. Free to shower, which I really wanted to do. She wasn't trying to help me, if she was, she would have exhausted all possibilities, not just poke me with all of those useless needles.
I was three miles away and I noticed a mixture of five or six cars, and trucks following me. They were using fog lights to guide them. I am sure Lauren is in one of those vehicles with the Succubus. I don't know what she did to, and or for Lauren for her to be so drawn to her. So excited after weeks of sounding like someone calling a golf tournament.
"One mile to go". I thought after I had driven two miles. I needed to focus on what was in front of me, rather than what was behind me. I needed to be fast and quick. I have no idea how fast these people can run. Lauren has always been a fast runner, but never faster than me. She may prefer a life with them, but I don't.
Finally pulling up, I didn't even turn the car off before I jumped out, and rushed into the building. There were guards of course, and I wanted them. I wanted them to take me to their leader.
Bo and Lauren.
"She wouldn't do or say anything crazy would she? Bo asked as they neared the Light Fae compound. The place still looked unstable. The Succubus was starting to wonder how stable Lauren was at the moment.
"Nadia has always been very outspoken, and never afraid to speak her mind on any, and everything. So to answer your question, at this point, I don't know what she is capable of". Lauren sighed rubbing her forehead.
They had no idea where Aife was, and they hadn't bothered to call her. They were only focused on getting to Nadia before the Fae did, especially the Dark Fae.
Bo's Succubus was all over the place. First she wanted to protect Lauren at all costs, but then she wanted to protect Nadia too. They were both human, and vulnerable in the Fae world. If she admitted it to herself, she didn't handle this as well as she could have. Nadia wouldn't be running into what was likely her death, and they wouldn't be following behind her.
Bo didn't know this Nadia. She didn't know if she was violent or not. If she would physically attack Lauren. If she would try and fight Aife, or any Fae. Bo was still struggling to come to grips that she wasn't a monster. But what could she do to protect Lauren without having to kill an innocent? Whether Nadia acknowledged it or not, she was an innocent. Just like Lauren had been, all the years she worked to free Nadia from her pod.
Five years. That's half the years that Bo had been on the run killing people, and not being able to do anything to stop it. She had to feed. She just didn't now how to curb it. How to sleep with someone without killing them. Lauren had given her answers. Given her help, and it was her turn to return the favors.
She bit the inside of her mouth and swallowed her next thought. They were here. They were back in the same place as Nadia. If Bo ever thought that Lauren was flaky or wishy washy, Nadia was proof that the woman could be faithful for years. She thought back to the night they made love, and how she just ran off without giving Lauren a chance to explain. It wasn't just about them, it was about protecting Nadia too. If she loved Nadia like that, how did she feel about Bo?
Lauren had jumped out, and ran in, with her necklace dangling from her neck.
"Dr. Lewis, back where you belong I see". A guard mocked her, and was knocked off of his feet when Lauren kicked him.
Bo followed right behind Lauren knocking out guards as they reached them. She didn't think Aife was there, but she was sure that the Elders were lurking. She hadn't called Trick, Kenzi or Dyson. Frankly she didn't need them at the moment. They would only try and hold her back. Tell her Lauren wasn't worth it. Or not open their mouths at all, and tell Bo everything they were thinking with their auras.
Bo still had so much to learn about being a Succubus. As crazy as Aife seemed, she was a walking textbook on the subject.
Dark Fae compound.
Aife was never one to follow rules. She barely practiced etiquette, so storming into the Dark Fae compound again, was no big deal at all. Evony had only been the leader on paper. Nothing she ever did was for the Dark, it was for her purposes only. Well she was about to learn up close, how a Succubus does something that fits her purposes.
The place was practically deserted. The guards were scarce. So scarce that Aife didn't see any at the door, or in the foyer. All she heard was her heels hitting the floor, as she nearly sprinted to Evony's office. She didn't even know if she was there, she would wait if she needed to.
Aife never liked being spied on, she preferred to be the one spying. Stepping into Evony's office, she found the Morrigan in a deep conversation on the phone. Her back was to the Succubus so she never heard, or noticed her coming in.
Walking faster Aife reached for the phone, and pushed the button to hang it up.
"What are you doing here? Again?! Evony asked angrily. She hadn't seen Aife much since she returned, but her back in her face was enough. More than enough.
"Now when I left your ass, I said I wasn't going to kill you. What did you do? You sent your jolly green giant to poke into my business. I am here to correct all of that". Aife seethed twisting Evony around, and around in her chair.
"Did you kill Steven? No big loss". Evony laughed. It really wasn't. One dead Fae was easily replaceable.
"He's not dead yet, but he would have been had he infiltrated the compound". Aife laughed. Evony looked sheet white with fear.
"I was only looking for the Succubus, and or Doctor. Either one of you would suit my purposes just fine". Evony laughed again.
"Girlfriend we go way back. All you have to do is call me and I will gladly come and kick your ass". Aife laughed.
"As if you could". Evony laughed. This Succubus had balls. More than the little one chasing the Doctor's tail.
"This has been fun, but I will get right to my point. I won't kill you or Steven. I want all of you bastards to be alive and bow to me once I take control of all Fae". Aife laughed.
"You can't even control your wayward daughter, how will you be able to control the Fae? Evony laughed.
Aife laughed and stepped closer to the Morrigan. Evony screamed as she pulled her wig off, and then pulled her to the floor.
"If you brush it, it will grow". Aife laughed brushing her own hair down with her hand and throwing the wig to the Morrigan, who was on all fours on the floor.
"Bitch. Evony said putting her wig back on.
Aife laughed again and touched the Morrigan's back. "Stay there".
Evony screamed again when she noticed that she was stuck like that. Her palms, and knees stuck to the floor.
"Let me go! Evony screamed in horror.
"Nah. You have always liked that position, so I've heard". Aife laughed pushing the papers from the desk and propping her feet up. She turned around long enough to pull Evony's picture off the wall, and called for a guard.
"Yes ma'am? Eric answered running in.
"You idiot. I didn't call for you but since you're here, get her out of here! Evony screamed nodding towards Aife.
"That's right big boy. Come to your queen! Aife laughed as the Ogre ran behind the desk.
"Ma'am? Eric whispered as he bent over to Aife.
"Since you came first, you will do my bidding. Get everyone out of this building". Aife laughed pulsing the man.
"Yes ma'am". Eric smiled and saluted Aife. He walked over to Evony, and tried to move her but couldn't.
"She will be staying where she is. Hope you haven't had any coffee". Aife laughed.
"Very well". Eric smiled again as he left the room.
"Idiot! Come back here! Evony screamed as she continued to struggle removing Aife's thrall.
"He couldn't even if he wanted to". Aife laughed picking up the phone receiver.
"It's me. Where are you? Aife asked into the phone.
"We're at the Light Fae compound. Nadia raced here looking for you". Sasha answered.
"Ok. Take control of the compound. Set up guards all around it. But do not lose them this time. Isabeau will likely be looking for me, you can tell her I am at the Dark Fae compound". Aife responded.
"Yes ma'am". Sasha said.
"Keep me posted on everything". Aife said.
"What about Steven? Sasha asked.
"Have him moved there, and put into another dungeon. None of these bitches will die until I take complete control". Aife laughed, and winked as Evony stared at her.
After Aife hung up the phone, she looked down at Evony who was doing everything that she could to get up.
"Don't worry. I won't make you bow to me first. That honor belongs to Trick". Aife laughed hysterically.
The Dal Riata
"They're back! Dyson screamed as he ran into the Dal.
"Who's back? Trick asked walking behind the bar.
"Bo and Lauren. They are at the compound as we speak! Dyson said excitedly.
"Oh. I am well aware of that". Trick said pulling a bottle down to pour Dyson a shot.
"This is great news Trick! Bo must have learned her lesson, and returned the Doctor to her rightful owners". Dyson said slamming his first shot, and readied for the second.
"Dyson the Ash is dead. Dr. Lewis is free, until another one is picked, and that won't be happening soon". Trick said shaking his head. The boy was slow this morning. Perhaps he was always like that.
"Trick you know that is not true. She will always belong to the Fae. Like Bo will always belong to me". Dyson said toasting his own statement.
"I don't know what is going on between you, and Bo. But I do know it's not as clear cut as you think". Trick replied.
"She's my mate Trick. That's all she needs to know. To accept. To understand". Dyson boasted.
"Dyson listen to yourself. She may be your mate, but you are not hers. Not if you saw her black eyes. If you were her mate, she would have asked you to go wth her to help Dr. Lewis". Trick said softly. Dyson was thousands of years old, and really didn't understand his own nature at times. He was certainly new at understanding the nature of a Succubus.
"I get it. She wants to help the human. She always does that. But she told me that I was hers. That's the same as mating isn't it? Dyson asked.
"Dyson again. I was married to a Succubus, and I wasn't her mate. She loved me, but I wasn't her mate. Her Succubus never mated with me, and it sounds like Bo's doesn't like you very much. Bo can say all that she wants. But you must know her Succubus is resisting you, and your wolf". Trick said softly.
"You're wrong about that Trick. All of Bo, loves all of me. I would tell you how I know, but you don't want those details". Dyson boasted again.
Trick shook his head slightly. It sounded like the Norn took more than Dyson's genitals, it sounded like she took his brain too. How was he going to explain a Succubus to Trick of all people? Isabeau knew another Succubus, and they hung out with her, and her mate. Bo never looked at Dyson like Cassandra looked at Jerick. They were long gone, and had a falling out with Trick after Isabeau was murdered. So he had no actual proof or example to show Dyson the difference between a Succubus loving someone and mating with them. No book. Nothing.
"I'm hungry. What's for breakfast? Kenzi groaned as she walked towards the end of the bar to join the men.
"I can whip up some pancakes". Trick smiled softly. He as relieved to be out of the Dyson, and Bo conversation. He had his own Succubus to deal with, wherever she was.
"And a screwdriver to fix my headache". Kenzi groaned taking a seat next to Dyson.
The wolf waited until Trick disappeared into the small kitchen before he spoke.
"They are back Kenz. Bo and Lauren are back". Dyson whispered softly.
"What? Where!? Kenzi asked looking around.
"I have gotten word that they are at the Light Fae compound. I told Trick, but he didn't seem anxious to see Bo". Dyson explained.
"Dude. Bo said not to follow her, and that means the compound". Kenzi said.
"Bo doesn't know what's right for her. I am what's right for her. I just need to talk to her, and I thought you were on my side". Dyson snapped. Had Kenzi forgotten that he confessed his love of Bo to her?
"It's early but I will play. I have only seen Bo's Succubus twice, and up close. That was when she drained that guy to save me, and the other was when she told the both of us to stay away". Kenzi said pointing back and forth between them.
"Not her Succubus talk again! I get it. Bo has a Succubus, so what? It wasn't the Succubus that said I am hers". Dyson snapped again. Trick and Kenzi weren't getting what he was trying to tell them. Bo was back. She had come back for him.
"Bo is not the only Succubus that you have to contend with. Aife is twenty sides of crazy, and the way she flashed her eyes at me last night. I'm staying in the Dal". Kenzi said downing one of Dyson's shots. Aife is a walking bogeywoman.
"I am not worried about Aife. Trick can handle her". Dyson said waving off Kenzi's concern.
Kenzi looked up at him, and looked away. Aife is not only a Succubus, she is practically a magician. A witch. Kenzi chuckled at that. But whatever was going on at the Light Fae compound, she would let Bo handle.
After Trick had explained what a Sanctuary was, and how it worked with Kenzi being Bo's human, she decided to stay put until Bo returned for her. Until Bo was standing in front of her. Bo wasn't really back like Dyson was claiming that she was.
"I am telling you Dyson. Do not go near them! Kenzi snapped at the wolf. He was Fae, but not much protection against Aife, or any other Fae.
"Fine. Stay here in your sanctuary with Trick. I will go, find Bo, and bring her home, officially". Dyson said jumping from his seat and stomping out of the Dal.
"No balls, and still a dick! Kenzi screamed as he left.
"Here we are". Trick smiled setting Kenzi's plate down.
"Yum! Kenzi said looking at the pancakes, and Screwdriver.
"Where's Dyson? Trick asked looking around. It was still early and he hadn't officially opened for business yet. He wasn't sure if he was going to. With Bo being gone, and Aife on the loose, anything could happen.
"He went to the Light Fae compound. I tried to warn him but...". Kenzi said shaking her head, and taking her first bite.
"But he wouldn't listen. Bo never officially warned me away but I have a feeling she doesn't want to see any of us, except for Aife". Trick sighed.
"That boy is playing with a wild fire". Kenzi said thinking of Aife.
"She has never been controllable. Not since Isabeau died. Her mother was the only one that could melt her heart. For the rest of us, it was as cold as ice". Trick confessed.
"And Bo still doesn't know that you're her grandfather". Kenzi said glancing at Trick, and back at her plate.
"No she doesn't, and this will be how she finds out". Trick sighed rubbing the back of his neck.
"She won't like it. Frankly I don't like it, but it's not my story to tell". Kenzi said using a line Trick knew well.
"Aife doesn't keep secrets. Bo will know soon enough". Trick groaned. This was not how he planned it. He wanted Dyson to watch out for Bo, long enough for him to get up the nerve to tell her who she really was to him. Not just the new Fae in town. Not just anyone in the Fae ass. He had his granddaughter in his life, and yet couldn't bring himself to tell her yet. He needed to trust her first. She was too much like Aife, unbalanced.
Bo, Lauren and Nadia.
"She's in there. I will leave you to talk". Bo said waving Lauren forward.
Lauren took a few quick breaths and opened the door.
"Nadia". Lauren said softly, and watched the woman turn around in anger.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be doing a Succubus? Nadia snapped.
"Nadia I can explain all of this". Lauren said softly stepping forward.
"So talk. Tell me how you slept with her when you were supposed to be helping me! Nadia snapped again.
"Five years Nadia! I spent the last five years trying to help you. To wake you up. To free you! I was never free! Never. I couldn't do anything. I could barely wipe my ass without asking permission". Lauren snapped but found her cool again.
"Are you even a Doctor anymore? Or are you just a call girl? Nadia snapped. She didn't mean to be cruel, but she was the injured party.
"Yes I am still a Doctor, and to answer your real question, yes. Yes I slept with Bo. But it was not as easy as you're making it out to be. For five years. I was a slave to them. It was the only way to keep you alive, until I found a cure. Five years of turning woman, after woman down. Five years of never knowing anyone's touch. Anyone's scent other than what I could smell in my lab. Well it wasn't actually my lab, because I was only allowed in it to treat them. The Fae, or their feeds. Five years of never having any friends. Any family. Any dates. Bo was unexpected. She's kind. She treats me like a person, and not like the robot the Fae wanted me to be. In order to save your life, I had to agree to wear a necklace, and bow to their every whim, and humiliation. Bo never forced me do to any of those things. She didn't. I didn't sleep with her because I was forced to, I slept with her because I wanted to". Lauren explained and it drained her soul a bit.
"You didn't say the words but I can see it all over you. Smell it all over you. Taste it in the space that surrounds you". Nadia said.
"Nadia...". Lauren said stepping towards her, and watched as the other woman stepped aside, and walked past her.
"You love her Lauren. You don't have to say it. We both know it. It was in your voice the first time you came to see me, from what I assumed was the morning after. It was in your eyes when you saw her back at the other place. It was in your eyes just now when you spoke of her. So go. Have that Succubus. My goal is to find the other one, and from what I can tell, she must not be here". Nadia rambled.
"Nadia you have a right to be angry. Be angry about being trapped in that pod. Be angry about losing so much time of your life. Be angry about Bo and I. I am so sorry about that. But you have no right to think or say that I wasn't trying to help you all of those years, because I was. I am still helping you when I tell you, not to go after the other Succubus. She's not as nice as Bo is. She's dangerously unpredictable". Lauren explained, and was hoping Nadia was really listening to her.
"I am not afraid like you are. You're right, I spent years of my life in that pod. I will thank your gf for helping me, but I will not be appreciative of you, or your cheating on me. Had you woken me up sooner, maybe you wouldn't have wanted to sleep with her! Nadia snapped.
Lauren took a deep breath. She wasn't getting to Nadia. All that was getting to Nadia was the pod, and Bo. Nothing Lauren did was good enough. The nights she slept on the floor in the pod room. The mornings she rushed to the lab when an idea struck. The afternoons the Fae had summoned her away from her cure research to put band-aids on the smallest of wounds. Taking another deep breath, she opened her mouth to explain again.
Bo and Sasha.
"So I never asked, who are you exactly? Bo asked as they were seated down the hall from Lauren and Nadia's room.
"I am an old friend of your mothers. She called me in once she found you, we go way back". Sasha smiled.
"You're a Succubus too right? Bo asked looking the woman up and down.
"That's right. Aife only trusts Succubi that she's known for years". Sasha explained.
"She's not really crazy right? Bo asked softly.
"No. Not when it comes to you, she's not crazy at all. She has always been looking for you. Longing to hold her baby in her arms again. Longing for power that was stripped from her. You really should talk to her Bo. Really talk to her. There is so much that you don't know". Sasha said.
"Like what? Bo asked turning her full attention to the woman.
"No. I cannot tell you, but I strongly suggest that you take my advice. If you take nothing else from me, take that". Sasha said softly.
Bo looked stunned. What else was there to know about Aife, other than she was her mother? She hated it but knew she had to do it.
"Where is she? Bo asked.
"She's at the Dark Fae compound. Evony had pissed her off sending Steven out there". Sasha explained.
"Shit". Bo whispered but it was loud enough to be heard.
"She won't kill her. She will just have a lot of fun with her". Sasha laughed. They had all taken turns screwing with the Morrigan. Girl was only the leader by name, not by deeds.
"Why won't she kill her? Bo asked.
"She wants them all alive when she takes control". Sasha smiled handing Bo a drink.
"She loves you Bo. She really does. Which is why you should try, and stay on her good side. I don't think she would ever physically hurt you". Sasha smiled. Bo and Aife's relationship was so adorable. Not too many Succubi even had kids, and Aife was fiercely loyal to her daughter.
"I get it. I've seen her bad side. Even if I don't understand it, I've seen it.". Bo said taking a sip of her drink.
"You will after you talk to her". Sasha replied.
"Ok". Bo said. She could tell the woman wasn't going to tell her anything, other than what she already had. Her curiosity was definitely piqued, and she wanted to know, now.
"Go ahead. I will watch them, and guard them with my life". Sasha offered.
"Ok. Sit in front of the door, if you have to". Bo suggested. She really didn't want to leave Lauren but knew her presence wouldn't be good for Lauren trying to mend her relationship with Nadia.
Relationship. Of course Lauren was in a relationship. Even if the woman was cursed, Lauren was in one, and had stayed loyal until she slept with Bo. Bo hadn't used her powers on her. Only her heart. Her feelings, no matter how hard she tried to mask them after they made love. Bo had been in love before with a human, and he died. That's what drove her for years. The guilt. The loneliness. But now she wasn't as alone anymore. Aife was in her life, even if she was a bit batty, she was her mother. She was family. Bo hung her head, and tried not to cry.
Aife had tried to talk to her, just like Lauren did. Bo only heard what she wanted to hear, or ran off. Now she was running to find her mother, so that that they could talk.
Dark Fae compound
Aife had been busy making calls. She had called to make sure Steven was alive, and that the compound had been cleaned up, and emptied out. A moving truck filled with Bo, Lauren and Nadia's belongings was on the way to the Dark Fae compound. Sick patients had been sent to local hospitals. She would find a use for the place later.
"Let me up, or you will be sorry! Evony screamed from the floor.
"Let me up or you will be sorry". Aife said mocking the woman's tone.
"This is not a bit funny! Evony screamed still trying to free her hands, and knees from the ground.
"Yes it is. It's very funny, and it will go viral soon". Aife laughed pointing a recorder at the woman.
"Stop it! Evony screamed again, and her voice was starting to go hoarse.
Aife laughed setting the recorder down. She was enjoying herself. This is what the Morrigan had done to the Fae, and humans for years. Made them get on their knees for her enjoyment alone. She never made Aife do that because the woman would never bend. Not to rules. Now to laws. Nothing.
"Ma'am you have a visitor. The shifter is here to see you". Eric bowed.
"No! Kick him out! Evony snapped from the floor.
"Let the pup in". Aife laughed.
"Yes ma'am". Eric nodded.
"Evony I need your help with...Aife". Dyson said with his voice dropping at the sight of the Succubus.
"The golden retriever of the Light Fae asking the Morrigan for help? That's treason". Aife laughed.
"Evony? What's wrong? Dyson asked rushing over to the Morrigan.
Aife immediately stood, and walked the short distance to them before Dyson could stand up again. "Sit boy sit". She laughed.
Dyson growled when he couldn't get up, and couldn't help the Morrigan up either.
"You really should have called first". Evony groaned. She didn't like Dyson, but he was better then Aife. Easier to control.
"What are you doing here!? Dyson growled at the Succubus.
"The question isn't what I'm doing here, the question is what are you doing down there? Aife laughed recording the scene in front of her. With Dyson sitting on the floor with his legs open, and Evony on all fours, the Fae would draw their own conclusions.
Aife was laughing so hard, she held her stomach. She stopped when there was another knock on the door.
"Ma'am the Succubus is here". Eric bowed. Aife smiled, he was being so obedient, and he was so handsome too.
"Let Isabeau in". Aife beamed. This was going to be delicious.
Bo stormed in. She was eager to get her answers, and back to the other compound.
"What the hell is that about? Bo asked putting her hand in front of her face blocking out Dyson, and Evony's current positions.
"The bitch, and the dog are obeying their master". Aife laughed.
"Why? Bo asked turning her back. She did not need to see that again.
"Bo listen to me. We need to talk". Dyson growled but couldn't turn around to face her.
"I got this dog". Aife laughed petting Dyson's shoulder, but the shifter was still stuck to the ground.
"Mom I came here to talk to you". Bo said over her shoulder.
"Of course sweetie come and sit with me". Aife said warmly pulling Bo to a seat far away from Dyson and Evony. Bo calling her mom wasn't lost on her. It was better than Aife, and far better than hearing her go on, and on about Mary Dennis. Mary Dennis wouldn't have known Bo if it wasn't for Aife.
"Aife don't! Dyson snapped.
"Shut up dog. You are always telling other people's business, it's only fair that I tell yours". Aife laughed.
"Dyson what is she talking about? Bo asked standing up to face him.
"I will tell you Isabeau, and give you the uncut version". Aife offered.
"Ok. Someone tell me". Bo said moving her chair around to see the wolf and Morrigan.
Aife stood and circled the group as she spoke.
"When you came to fight me Dyson here went behind your back, and to the Norn. He offered her his wolf, but she took his love. Not really a sacrifice but anyways back to the story. She took his love for you and then he moped, and ran off until you saw him before you left to look for the Doctor. He went back to the Norn a second time. She returned his love for you but took his balls instead". Aife laughed holding her stomach again.
"Well damn". Evony laughed too.
"What? That can't be right. I felt him. I felt close to him". Bo said shaking her head in confusion.
"You may have been thinking of him, but you weren't feeling him at all. We were both feeling the powers from Trick writing in his blood". Aife explained.
"Trick? What does Trick have to do with me fighting you? Bo asked turning toward the Succubus.
"I tried to warn you about them Isabeau, both of them. Trick is my father and your grandfather". Aife explained.
It was good that Bo was sitting, she would have fallen to the floor. She felt her Succubus eyes flashing blue.
"Easy sweetie. Mama's here". Aife cooed rubbing Bo's back.
But it wasn't Bo that Aife was speaking to. She was in full Succubus mode now. Standing to her feet, the Succubus walked over and kicked Dyson in the head.
"Isabeau". Aife whispered.
The Succubus turned, and looked at her mother. She now understood the darkness. Aife's anger and pain. It was a lie. It was all lies. Why Dyson hid who she was. Why Trick knew so much about her. It all made sense. She thought of Lauren. She had been ignoring Lauren for lying while Dyson and Trick were hiding bigger lies. She took a deep breath, and her eyes went back to brown.
"Lauren". Bo said softly.
"You can go sweetie. I will handle things here". Aife said softly. For once she was able to be a mother. Trick would pay for his shit. Not only towards Aife, but especially Bo. She felt her own Succubus trying to surface, but that wasn't what Bo needed right now.
"As long as we are all telling the truth, and the mothers in the room are telling the truth, I have a little of my own". Evony said.
"What? You have a bastard running around? Aife laughed.
"Yes. Thanks to your daughter, my son is fatherless! He was about to go back to New York with his father, and be out of my hair! Evony screamed.
"What? Who's your son? Dyson asked.
"Massimo". Evony seethed.
Aife laughed again, but Bo was not laughing, and really not in the mood for games.
"Who was his father? Bo asked.
"The guy you left in the elevator". Evony said.
"What? Bo asked.
"Your kill in the elevator was Massimo's father. He was supposed to poison you, but you turned him down". Evony confessed.
Bo stormed over to the Morrigan, kicked her in the head, and watched as her teeth flew out of her mouth.
"Isabeau she will die, and violently I promise. Go see the Doctor". Aife said gently pulling her away.
Bo spat on the Morrigan. She was definitely going to die, but knew Lauren needed her, and she needed Lauren.
"They can't move right? You enthralled them? Bo asked.
"That's right. They are stuck there". Aife laughed.
"Then come with me". Bo asked.
"Of course. I have so much more to tell you". Aife said gently taking Bo's arm, and pulling her out of the room and building.
TBC.
Bo and Aife confront Trick, separately.
Dyson and Evony scramble to get free.
Lauren and Nadia nearly come to blows.
Bo struggles to take control back from her Succubus.
Nadia meets Aife.
