would be him. “We all know there is no way Jacqueline is Percival’s daughter. The question is how did he get her? Something tells me we aren’t going to like the answer, but I still need you to find out what you can.”
When Ken nodded, Ben stood with his mate in his arms. “I’m going to go put her in bed. When I get back, we will come up with a plan to take this bastard down.” He carried her up the stairs, amazed at how small she felt in his arms. Compared to him she was tiny, but she fit perfectly. If he had his way, he would never put her down.
Instead of taking Jacqi to the bedroom he had found her in earlier, Ben took her to his room and placed her in the center of his bed. He stood back and admired the way her long dark hair fanned over his pillow. When he went to bed that night, he would be surrounded by her sweet scent. Unable to resist touching her, Ben eased himself on the bed and stretched out beside his mate. He ran the tips of his fingers across her smooth jaw, admiring how soft her skin was. At his touch, Jacqi moaned and rolled over on her side. When she curled into his chest and sighed, Ben’s cock went from semi-hard to fully erect in an instant. It seemed, even in sleep, his mate recognized him. She was beautiful, and Ben felt a swell of pride that she was all his.
Laying an arm across her waist, Ben pulled Jacqueline closer until their bodies were molded together. He ignored his cock and just lay there enjoying the feeling of having his mate next to him and being able to hold her. For three months, he hadn’t been able to touch her. Her scent had teased him each time she had stepped into his cell to inject him with drugs. Her scent had meant betrayal, and he had been disgusted with himself that he still looked forward to that scent, even after what she had done to him. Now that they were safe, and he realized his mate had been trying to help him, there was nothing stopping Ben from doing what he had wanted to do all those lonely nights in his cell.
His intention was to hold her for a few minutes before going back downstairs to work on the plan with the guys, but Ben must not have been as fully recovered as he’d thought. Almost three months of captivity and then the injury to his side caught up with him as his eyes slowly shut and he drifted off to sleep next to his mate.

Jacqueline snuggled deeper into the heat surrounding her, not wanting to move. For the first time in as long as she could remember, she had slept deeply. Normally, she slept with one eye open for fear of her father finding out what she had done or one of his men thinking he would be the one she let into her bed. There had been plenty of times she had been woken up from her light sleep by the sound of her bedroom door opening and one of his guards easing in. Once her father found out, that guard was never seen again, but with new rogues constantly coming in, word that she was off limits didn’t get around fast enough, and there was always someone new willing to try.
Now, she knew the warm, hard chest she was pressed up against was Ben’s, and it didn’t frighten her to wake up with the large guy in her bed next to her. He wasn’t the largest man she had ever seen, but compared to her petite stature, Ben was huge. Even with her head resting on his muscular chest, her feet only reached the middle of his calves. His size should have frightened her, but for some reason, Jacqueline wasn’t scared of this shifter. In fact, Ben made her feel safe, safe enough that she was willingly curled in his arms. Being next to him made it seem as though the outside world didn’t exist. There was no man hell-bent on taking over the world, no shifters going wild, and no drugs meant to turn innocent men into raving mad lunatics. There was no guilt, just the two of them in bed together, happy and relaxed.
Jacqueline opened her eyes and came face to face with the most handsome man she had ever seen. In sleep, Ben’s face
