Wide Awake

Seethe Vs. The Wanderer

ODIN'S REALM

Cedric was pacing the hallways up and down waiting to see if Ceceil had returned. His patience was wearing thin. The Moreel was just about to return to his chambers when he saw the physician in the corner of his eye. He followed her to her lab and stayed out of view watching her waiting for the right moment to steal the notes she had. Cedric became good at being invisible with all the time he spent watching the seethe. He was going to make sure that he had the news of Isabeau's child to take to her. It was the least he could do.

LAUREN'S PENTHOUSE

The seethe was sitting on the ground not moving. She had no idea how much time had passed. At this moment it felt like a lifetime passed by already and truthfully she didn't care. The powerful fae couldn't even form a thought after what Odin told her. She heard the elevator again but stayed in the spot she was in. The blonde didn't care even if it was the wanderer. There was nothing more he could say to her that wouldn't destroy her more than he already did.

Kenzi, Dyson and Hale walked out of the elevator into the hall. As they moved together further into the penthouse they saw the seethe crumbled onto the ground by the sliding glass doors. They looked at each other matching their expressions, worried, scared and confused. Kenzi was the first one by her side, "What the hell happened," this wasn't the time for her normal humor. Lauren didn't even bother to look into the hybrid's eyes she just stayed there limp. Dyson and Hale were next to her now as well. The shifter gently placed his hand on her knee, "Lauren, talk to us we can help," he had no idea what was wrong with her but panick was setting in. They all knew that only one thing could break the seethe this much and that was Bo. Did she find out something about the succubus that the others didn't.

Lauren stared the wolf in the eyes, "Odin has Bo he is linking her to him. And she is pregnant with my child." Chills went down her body as she spoke the words out loud. It was as if saying them out loud made them more real. Now she had to except them. "Holy Fuck," Kenzi yelled out. It was bad enough they thought Odin had Bo and pretty much all of them knew it was a fact but Bo was pregnant. That just made it so much worse. Plus Odin connecting them raised the biggest question of all. How do you kill him if he is linked to Bo and the baby? Not just any baby but the baby from the prophecy and her best friend's baby. Kenzi now felt sick as she collapsed next to Lauren.

Dyson and Hale had their eyes locked on each other. They now understood why Lauren wasn't even able to move a muscle. The shifter spoke first, "Lauren you are our leader. You need to pull yourself together so we can get Bo back and break the bond. Don't you want to save your mate and your child?" The shifter was trying to get her angry maybe give her the mental push she needed.

Hale spoke softly, "We will win this; we always win even when everything says we won't. The Garuda was supposed to kill us. You were supposed to be human. Bo was supposed to pick a side. That damn succubus should have failed her Dawning. You had a slim chance of having a baby and Bo is pregnant. Kenzi should've died when she became half fae. We beat the odds. If the odds are saying Odin will win then we will. I thought you were a smart fae because the human version of you was an encyclopedia of knowledge." If Dyson's pushing wasn't working he would try reminding her of all the things they have accomplished that they shouldn't have.

Hale stood up he wasn't throwing in the towel yet even if all of his friends were going to. Everything showed him that giving up would be the stupidest thing they could do. About a second later the shifter stood by him making the siren grin at his partner. It only took another minute for Kenzi to stand up and put her arms around Hale's waist leaning into him. Gazing up at him she had tears in her eyes but a smile on her face. The seethe was on her feet so fast no one noticed till she spoke, "Your right and Kenzi you got Dyson's love back so he was able to help fight with the Garuda. He needed to be whole like he does now." Lauren's eyes became a magnetic green once again there was no white to them. She faced Dyson. He wanted to look down and run but he kept his ground. She placed her hand above his heart green energy started to flow all over the seethe's body. She was engulfed in waves of green that were coming down her body in ripples. It flowed down the arm she had on Dyson and a green blast hit the shifter in the chest knocking him back about ten feet. He was on his ass completely when he looked up Lauren was back to her normal appearance and his other friends had their jaws dropped practically down to the floor.
