Here's another one, this chapter doesn't have any Bo and Lauren in it but it kind of gives a brief explanation of why Lauren cares about Tamsin as much as she does. Hope everyone who is reading this is still enjoying it! Also a huge thank you to StephC1313 I love reading your reviews!

Bo's POV

I walked into the crack shack and threw myself onto the couch next to Kenzi. "How was the date Bobo?" She asked me while not looking away from the TV as she killed some zombie hookers. "I like her Kenzi… I like her a lot. Even my Succubus likes her and seems to want her just as much as I do." I looked at her and she paused her game.

"She's human though, can you, you know be with her without hurting her?" Kenzi said and I could tell she was trying very hard to sound gentle as she spoke. "She said she would try to help me control my hunger, if she can do that then I don't see why not. I can't just stop getting to know her. She is amazing," I know I looked like a lovesick fool because Kenzi started gagging. "You sound all mushy and lovey dovey," she said and resumed playing her game.

I stood up and went to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water and then I headed up the stairs to my room. I stripped off my jacket and pants and crawled into bed. As I closed my eyes the last thing, I remembered was how it felt to have Lauren sitting in my lap and kissing me. Needless to say, I fell asleep with a huge smile.

Lauren's POV

"Hello," I answered the phone and felt nervous waiting to see what he would say. "Did you do as I asked?" His voice was ice cold, and I felt a sense of dread as I looked over at Tamsin whose eyes were narrowed as she watched me. "I didn't mention anything about joining either side," I told him and noticed Tamsin clench her fists.

"Come to my office first thing when you come in tomorrow. Do not go to the lab first you are to come directly here." He hung up after saying that and as soon as I placed my phone on the counter, Tamsin was at my side. "What the did the douchebag say?" She asked worriedly. I looked up at her and shrugged. "He wants to see me before I go to the lab in the morning, he's not happy with me." I figured I might as well be honest with her. I saw her eyes go to my cheek that still had the mark from him hitting me. "Should I come with you?" She said this gently and saw her eyes soften. I shook my head at this thought.

"He wanted me to convince Bo to join the Light," I admitted, and she rolled her eyes. "The Succubus is not going to join the Light. She's not going to join either side cause she's stubborn." Tamsin rolled her eyes very hard as she spoke. "He wanted me to do whatever it takes to convince her… he basically wanted to whore me out if that's what it took or at least that's what he insinuated," I blurted out and her eyes flashed. "He did what?" I saw her fists clench even more and I'm sure if she had anything in her hand it would be crushed at this point.

I walked over to my fridge and grabbed a bottle of water and smiled to myself as I remembered earlier being so close to Bo. I turned around and saw that Tamsin was right next to the fridge leaning against the counter. "I couldn't do that to her. I couldn't do that to myself," I admitted, and she groaned. "You should've just fucked her and then at least you could've told him you tried," she snickered as she said that and I smacked her arm. She raised her hands in defense. "Kidding Lauren, just a joke to lighten the mood," she told me gently.

I walked over to the couch and sat down again and closed my eyes.

Being a 'ward' of the Ash wasn't great. Saying ward isn't even right either. The Light Fae basically own me. I don't ever get a say in the work I do for the most part. The Fae that works in the lab with me are great and the knowledge that the Fae have from the thousands and thousands of years that some of them have been alive is fascinating. I just wish I had a say in what I did and how I did it. It had only been the last year I was even allowed to leave the compound. Prior to that I had to stay within the Light Fae compound. I had snuck out a few times with the help of Tamsin, but it had taken until the previous year to actually be allowed to go out and about as I pleased once done work.

Tamsin for a lack of a better way of putting it had saved me. I will forever owe her for pulling me out of a years long slump I had been in. After Nadia had died, I had stopped caring about anything. I worked because I had to but didn't do anything else. Until of course Tamsin strolled in one day with Dyson and she kept coming back even without him. At first, I had been annoyed with her but eventually she managed to charm me enough and I genuinely started to enjoy having her around. It had been weird because I hadn't felt any genuine happiness until she had showed up.

Then we tried the whole friends with benefits thing. She literally used to sneak into my apartment for a late-night fuck and then we'd end up staying up and talking. But I never felt anything more than a friend type of love for her. Don't get me wrong she is a very, very attractive woman but she's Tamsin. She's my best friend and I ended up calling off our friends with benefits deal because I couldn't risk losing her if something went wrong with that.

"Hey, earth to Lauren!" Tamsin waved her hands in front of my face. I smiled and shook my head.

Yeah, I care about Tamsin but definitely more as a friend. She never made me feel the way I did tonight. "Sorry I got to thinking," I brushed it off and she turned the TV on, and we watched that until I fell asleep. When I woke up I was laying in my bed and smiled knowing Tamsin had brought me to bed. I sighed as I got up.

I got ready for the day and headed to the Ash's office. I couldn't lie and say I wasn't worried about how this would go but I knew that I would not let Lachlan use my feelings for Bo to sway her to his side. I knocked on his door and heard him say to enter. I opened the door and he had his back to the door as he was putting a book back onto a shelf.

"Dr. Lewis, sit down." He still didn't turn around and I felt a knot in my stomach. I sat in a chair across from his desk. He turned around to face me and his eyes were almost black. He had a controlled look on his face. "So, you went against what I told you to do." His face changed and he looked furious. He advanced on me and placed his hands on his desk so he looked down at me. "You belong to me. You do as I say. You have no place to defy what I tell you to do." He stood up straight and walked around his desk.

I don't think I have ever seen him as angry as he looks at this moment.

"The only reason I am not killing you right here and right now is because of your brain. However, your brain is the only useful thing about you and I do not think you deserve any of the privileges that have been given to you." He said all this slowly as he walked closer and closer to the chair, I sat in. I forced my face to stay blank and not show that I was getting more nervous the closer he walked to me.

I blinked and he had grabbed my arms and pulled me up from the chair. "You are coming with me." He said menacingly as he dragged me behind him. I winced at how hard he was gripping my arm. He dragged me further and further down into the compound. It seems like he was taking me to a dungeon. I felt fear. A lot more than I cared to admit. I refused to show my fear to him though. My time in the Army had taught me to never show fear in the face of danger and I held that value strongly.

He tossed me into a room with no window and a giant lock on the door. "What are you doing?" I asked and stood up from where he had basically tossed me. "You will be staying in here until I decide to let you out. Oh, and you won't be needing this," as he said that he grabbed my arm and reached into my pocket and took my phone. "No wait," I gasped as it hit me what he was going to do. "Please don't lock me down here! I can't help patients or research," I yelped even though honestly those were nowhere near what I was concerned about.

"I think we will be okay without the great Dr. Lewis for the time being," he snarled and slammed the door shut. "WAIT!" I yelled and ran to the door and banged on it with my fists. "PLEASE LET ME OUT!" I yelled even though I knew he was probably gone at this point.

Oh god what am I going to do? I fell to the floor and let myself fall apart as I sobbed and covered my face in my hands.
