We stay on the ground a little longer before I stand up, brushing the dirt off my bum while Beau shifts. He is now standing before me stark naked as my eyes rake down his muscular body, to his sexy v lines and down. I blush at how openly I was checking him out when his arms wrapped around my waist and pulled my body against his naked one.

"Don't be embarrassed trouble, I am all yours to enjoy when ever you want. Here." he holds up some kind of small key with a computer chip attached to it. I give him a confused look, not wanting to let go of him.

"What is that for?" I question completely lost. He chuckles at me and kisses my forehead.

"The key to your collar. Once its off can I please mark you? I never ever want to feel the fear of losing you ever again trouble." his eyes glistened with tears, which tore at my heart. I wasn't ready to be marked. I was so confused and once the bond comes back what happens if its not strong enough.

"I.. I well... I" Beau pressed his finger against my lips causing me to go quiet.

"Your scared aren't you?" he whispered sadly, I couldn't bring myself to answer him so I just nodded my head. His hands, already wrapped around my waist, press my head against his naked chest as he tightens his grip never wanting to let me go.

"I love you Lauren, you will always be my trouble. No matter what happens know that deep down I do love you with all my heart." without realizing what he was doing I heard the whirring of gears and a quiet beep as the collar unclasps from my neck. I gasped in shock and shivered as a cool breeze caresses my warm skin where the collar sat.

Instantly it felt like someone slapped me upside the head, the pain was horrible. I cried out as I grabbed my head between my hands. Beau's large hand rubbed up and down my back in a comfort as my head started to throb.

I could feel worry deep down in the bottom of my stomach, but I wasn't worried I was only in pain. Then it clicked in, this is what Beau is feeling. As the pain got worse and worse to the point I started to see black spots dance in my vision, I could feel more and more things that are apart of the bond Beau and I share.

It was such a different feeling, but I already felt my feelings for Beau intensify to the point anything I thought I felt for Donovan was minor in comparison. Once the pain in my head dulled I wrapped my arms around Beau, feeling an overwhelming amount of happiness.

"This is such an amazing feeling. I can feel your worry, yet happiness as well as my own feelings. Its weird but amazing at the same time. I love you Beau, and I know this for sure one hundred percent." I felt a bit embarrassed after I just blurt out what I was thinking. Beau kissed my forehead, down to my nose and gave my lips a quick kiss.

"I love you to trouble." before we could get lost in the feeling of the bond we heard someone coming through the bushes, right away Beau is tensed up and in a defensive position covering me.

"Well well well, so this is where the big bad Alpha ran away to." Donovan came out of the bushes chuckling at us, his face was smeared in blood and his clothes were torn, clear signs of the battle that went on.

"I thought my men killed you Donovan." Beau growled as he stepped in front of me, blocking me from view.

"You can't kill the unbeatable Beau, but I have come to kill you and claim my prize. Lauren, are you ready to go home?" he smiled sweetly as his fangs extended.

"Over my dead body!" Beau snarled as he launched forward, claws extending in a half shift. Donovan met him head on with his face contorted and his fangs out and his fingernails lengthen into claws of his own.

"That can be arranged!" he shouted as they met in a battle of brawn. The two snarled and growled at each other trying to over power one another, but it seemed they were evenly matched.

Suddenly Beau stepped back but didn't let go, he used the momentum of Donovan pushing and spun in a circle to throw Donovan away from me.

"Run trouble!" Beau growled out as he shifted again and immediately attacked Donovan, giving me time to get away. I quickly dashed off into the bush, unsure of what way to go, but I ran anyways hoping against all hope that I wasn't going to end up in trouble.

The sounds of their battle start to fade off into the distance as I run further and further in what ever direction I had choose. I kept tripping on stumps and under growth but I kept pushing myself forward.

Finally I come out of the bush and I am at the beach, not to far from where we ended up when we originally escaped from Donovan. I quickly made my way down the beach a fair ways, just trying to put distance between me and the fight. I had faith in Beau, he would survive, he just had to.

I came to a grouping of rocks and sat down on the other side of them trying to hide myself. I was panting and trying to catch my breath as I sit there with my eyes closed. I try and hear them fighting but for how far I have ran all I hear now is the calming waves slowly lapping at the sand.

I sit behind the rock trying to calm my breathing and my erratic beating heart, I am in fairly good shape as running and jogging is something I like but this was ridiculous as I am not used to such a hard and fast pace.

Finally my heart calms down and my breathing evens out but I don't dare move just in case someone comes looking for me. The last thing I want is to be caught by Donovan's goons. I sit in silence enjoying the sounds of nature thinking back to my last camping trip with my family.

My brother had scared me so bad with his horror story that I refused to sleep alone, I ended up sleeping in my parents tent with my mom and my dad took my tent. So for revenge I took a bucket of ice cold water from the waterfall near by and threw it over his head as a wake up call at four in the morning, he was so pissed with me.

I smile at the memory, then it hit me do they know what happened to me? Will they come for me? As my mind starts going wild with questions about my family I suddenly hear someone break through the treeline and hear that person running towards where I am hiding. If it was Beau he would call to me, wouldn't he?

I sit huddled up against the rocks as I wait, my heart rate picks up the closer the foot steps get and I can feel my palms getting all sweaty. I silently sit chanting in my mind, please be Beau, please be Beau.

I see someones bare foot slowly inch around the rock, I see a ripped pair of pants partially covering the leg when all of a sudden..................
