Her breath hitched. “I was so scared.”

“I know. I’m so sorry. No one should have ever had the chance to take you.”

She pressed her hand against his chest. “No. Noelle just came at the right time. It was the only time I’d been alone in the apartment, and both of you were nearby.”

“Noelle? What did she do?”

“She had a gun, and she made me go with her.”

Ben’s brows snapped together. “But why?”

“She hated humans and hated the fact that some of the shifters had human mates. She wanted you to.”

“But she wasn’t our mate,” Ben said. “What did she have to gain?”

“As long as she was with you, she didn’t care about you guys loving her. She just wanted you and the status it would bring her. Did you see her body?”

He shook his head. “No.”

“A few guys pulled her out ofthe car and dragged her somewhere as Payne fought to get me out of the car.”

“You cut him?”

She nodded. “Yes. His throat. He’s dead, right?”

Ben kissed her forehead, ignoring the blood and other fluids. “Yes, Mate. We’re so proud of you.”

The car stopped, and then the back door opened. Rowan slid in, took her legs, and laid them over his thighs, then the car started moving again.

“How is she?” Rowan asked.

“I think she’ll be okay,” Ben said. He told him about Noelle and what happened to her. We went on to tell him about the box knife Jenna got and how she slit the monster’s throat.

Rowan squeezed her leg. “We are so proud of you, Sweetheart.”

Ben still couldn’t get the thought of her being taken from them so easily out of his mind. He stared at the two as they talked softly to each other.

Rowan got his attention. “Is all the blood from just Payne?”

He shook his head. “No. He killed Noelle, who sat beside her.”

“Jesus Christ,” Rowan burst out before cuddling up with Jenna.

They made it home within minutes. Ben hoped no one was around when they brought Jenna out of the car. It might look frightening to see two naked men with blood smeared on them and a woman covered in blood.

He didn’t care. He just wanted to get his mate taken care of.

Chapter Sixteen

Jenna kept her arms around Rowan’s neck when he carried her as the three rode the elevator up to their place.

The three went right into the bathroom, where they stripped her of her bloody clothes. The three stepped into the massive shower, and then the men took a long time to wash every part of her.

She had been shaking before, but it got worse until she couldn’t hold herself up without help. It was easy because the men’s hands hadn’t left her body since they found her.

“Easy, Pet. We’ve got you,” Ben said with his arms around her holding her steady for Rowan to wash her backside.

“How did you guys find me so quickly?” she asked.
