the hamsters and asked to take one home. Shana told him that wolfies’ favorite food is hamster so he let the idea go fairly quickly.
    Once at home, they set up the bed for Jake on the corner of the back porch, putting the food and water dishes next to it. She scooped out half of the dog food into the bowl, putting the rest in a Tupperware in the fridge for tomorrow. It smelled disgusting. She introduced Trevor to the new security system and the panic button before bed.
    Hopefully, they’d sleep soundly tonight.

 
    Chapter 7
     
    Shana woke with a start. She had been having a dream about Jake, the man, not the wolf. He was hovering over her and Trevor with possessiveness but not like Ryan, the rat bastard, use to. He was giving and kind, but protective. Shana knew in her dream state that he would give his life to keep her and Trevor safe. He looked at them like family and she woke feeling safe.
    She laid there sleepily for a few minutes before she heard another sound. Sitting bolt upright in bed she was thinking only of her son’s safety. She ran to his room; empty. His covers a mess on the ground.
    Shana called out to him without thinking of the danger. “Trevor!”
    She didn’t hear a response and flew into a panic. She ran down the stairs and straight into a solid object. She smelled something foul and immediately knew-they were found.
    She was grabbed on her upper arms and flung against the wall as she heard an unfamiliar man’s voice say, “Ryan just wants the kid now, but I’ll be back for you. He said your pussy was great and he’d let me take a turn.” Malice in every word, she wanted to vomit.
    “You’re all he could talk about. You must be something special. Will you scream for me too?”
    “Noooooo, don’t hurt my mommy!”
    Shana heard Trevor’s little voice as she tried to get up. Trevor continued to repeat, “Come on, Jake. Help mommy now.”
    Shana heard her son whimpering and wanted very badly to attack this foul man.
    She bolted for the sound of her child’s distress. She reached Trevor in time to cover him with her body. She was kicked and hit, but she never released her child from the position under her protective cocoon.
    Trevor said, “It’s almost over, mom. Jake is going to come for us.”
    Her last conscious thought was: it’s sad that my son thinks of a wild animal as his only protector.

    Jake got the page in the middle of the night from the panic button they had just installed in his mate’s home. He jumped up and got in his truck before he realized he was still naked. No time for clothes now, his protective response wouldn’t allow for him to stop going for her. He got a text from Conner and Grant that they were also on their way.
    He was the second person to arrive. Conner must have let himself into Shana’s home because the front door was damn near broken down completely.
    Jake bound up the porch steps in a leap and saw Conner crouched next to Shana on the floor. He could smell blood--her blood. He growled at Conner, causing him to back up with a quickness he’d never seen.
    Shana’s nightgown had ridden up to her belly. There were forming bruises to her back and both flanks and there was blood in her hair.
    Jake bent down to check her cuts and remembered the boy. “Check on Trevor,” he ordered Conner.
    Shana moaned and turned to her back. When she saw Jake, she sat up abruptly and yelled, “Trevor, he has Trevor!”
    “Who has him, Shana? What happened?”
    “Someone took him. Please help him. Please get my son!” She was shivering.
    “Do you know where they went, Shana?”
    “No...Please, Trevor said Jake would come for us. I thought he meant his wolf friend but you’re here. Please, you have to help.”
    Jake could smell her desperation and fear.
    “I’ll find him. Don’t worry. Stay with Conner, he’ll keep you safe. Grant is on his way too.” He brushed his lips across her temple and ran to the backyard.
    He had to shift to track
