"Let me go Ken!" I didn't know what happened it was like I jumped out of my own body watching myself lose it! I was screaming and flailing my arms and ready to claw Alana's eyes out, seeing her force herself on Kenyon. I was glad I followed my instincts and followed him to the garage.

"Sorrell, calm down, please!" Kenyon begged, bear-hugging me from behind. He dragged me out of the garage, and he put me down over by the lake and I still was walking toward the shop. Kenyon grabbed my arms. "Sorrell, honey look at me." I looked in Kenyon eyes and it soothed my rage, I was breathing heavily and so was he.

He look at me almost in shock. "Are you okay, sweetheart?"

"What?" I said.

"Sweetheart, you could have been killed. Do you understand that?" he chided.

I looked in his eyes were filled with concern, realizing what had happened. "Ken, I'm sorry!"

He smiled warmly. "Baby, you were about to fight an alpha she-wolf shifter over me."

When he explained it I realized why he was concerned and graveness of the circumstance . I was surprised with myself. "Yeah!" was all could say.

He chuckled,took both of my hands, and stared lovingly in my eyes. "Sweetheart, up until this moment I never knew how much you loved me. I mean, I knew you loved me and I was completely in love with you, but now I see the depth of your love for me." He placed a kiss on each of my knuckles.

I didn't know what to say.

Kenyon fell to his knees again in front of me and put his fist to the ground. "You are truly my hearts mate Sorrell."

The butterflies in my stomach took flight again. I smiled and fell into his arms and we shared the most passionate kiss we had ever shared, until we fell over. I giggled in his arms laying in the grass in Kenyon's arms.

"I love you Haripozi!" He nuzzled me.

"I love you Kalilou!" I smiled.

Randy reemerged from the shop. I didn't even know that he followed me into the shop when I had caught Alana. Maybe, he felt the same bad feeling that I felt. He looked disheveled and had a deep bite mark on his lip. Alana put up a serious fight.

Kenyon and I got up from the grass.

"Randy, are you okay?" said Kenyon.

"Randy you might want to put something on that before gets infected." I seaid looking at his

"Infection, right!" His eyes were low and sorrowful. "Kenyon, take Sorrell home." he said. "The alpha ceremony has been moved up tonight."

"What?" Kenyon's eyes were wide. "Randy, your mate kissed me, and you are still going through with this?"

"The ceremony starts at seven." said Randy. "Don't be late." He then walked toward the cottage.

I ran up behind him and grabbed his arm he whipped around but calmed when he realized it was me. "Randy please don't do this. You deserve so much better!"

He sighed and looked into my eyes sadly. "I'll see you tomorrow, Sorrell." He walked off back toward the cottage.

Kenyon walked up behind me both of us staring at Randy curiously as he walked sadly away to get ready for his arranged marriage to Alana.

Kenyon took me home, and actually carried me to my door like I was a newly wed. As he place me on my front stoop he gazed into my eyes. "You are too amazing for words Sorrell Garnett!"

I blushed.

He kissed my lips gently and smiled. "I am you humble servant! Your every wish is my command."

I giggled and hugged him. "I wish Randy didn't have to marry Alana. Isn't there something you can do?"

He looked at me sorrowfully. "Sorrell, I have done all that I could. He won't even listen to me!"

"Randy doesn't deserve this Ken!" I erupted.

"I know, Sorrell, but Randy has a legacy to protect. If he doesn't there will be no more Lougaro."

"There has to be something we can do for him, Ken!"

He looked down sadly. "Sorrell, if there was something I can do I would do it in a heartbeat."he said. "He's only doing this so I..." he took my hand. "...we have a chance to be happy!"

I sighed. "Kenyon, I love you so much and I do want to spend the rest of my life with you, but I just couldn't live with myself if our happiness came at the cost of someone else's, misery."

Kenyon then let out a sigh and bit his lip as he thought. "I'll try and think of something Sorrell. I promise."

"Okay!"

He kissed me once more. "I will call you the minute it's over okay?"

I nodded okay.

Kenyon took off in his Mustang. I hoped that Kenyon could think of something. I knew that I would wrack my brain trying to think of something I could do. I was in fact a Lougaro now and we had to look out for one another.

But what could I do? I thought. I had to do something time was running out.
