“I know, baby.I don’t blame you.I was upset at myself and took it out on you when I woke up.When I found you, you were so weak.At first, I thought your heart was going to give out, but the more I touched you, the stronger it became.”

Ready to take care of this guy?He won’t talk to anyone but Jade.

Fuck, Kai.I just got her back—can you give her a moment?

Jade chuckled and buried her face against Noah’s neck.We’ll be right there.

“Yeah, let see who this guy is and if he’s a spy sent from the other group.Then I can rip his head off for biting you.”

Noah shivered.“I love it when you get growly.”He moved to kiss her neck, but she pulled back.

“Remember, he can smell everything.”

Noah closed his eyes and nodded.They both rose and threw on some clothes.His attention drifted to Jade when she pulled her black hair back into a bun on the top of her head and took a deep breath.

“Whatever happens, I’ll be right there.I’m not a weak human anymore.If he doesn’t have any information to share, I’ll rip his fucking throat out.”

Jade reached up on her tiptoes and kissed him.“Thank you.”

“Anything for you, baby.And I mean anything.”

Jade, are you okay?

Silas sounded worried as they closed in on Kai’s.

I’m fine, Silas, I promise.I’m sorry I scared you.

Noah, is he okay, too?I heard he was attacked.

I’m fine, little man.I’m a tiger shifter now so we should go running soon.

Okay!

They walked into Kai’s, finding everyone except Liv, Frost, and Silas.

“They are at my place.We don’t know if this shifter had a tracker.But after four days, I highly doubt it, but we’re not taking that chance.”

“What’s the plan?”Jade looked at Ghost.

Ghost sighed.“He won’t talk to anyone but you.We don’t have his name and although he ate a few times, he mainly sits around with his eyes closed.”

“I’m going in with her.”

Ghost nodded and they headed downstairs.The other assassins would be lurking around with Ghost, watching over the interrogation.

Jade didn’t hesitate as she flew down the stairs and entered the code to open the door for the sound-and escape-proof enclosure.As soon as the door opened, Jade clenched her fists and when the man glanced up and gave her a small smirk, she punched him straight in the face.

“What the fuck?”

Jade punched him again, and before Noah could step in and hold her back, she reached for a chair and moved it across from the spluttering shifter and sat down.

“Talk.”Jade’s command was low and deadly.

“Is that how you greet everyone?”

Jade showed teeth and the man leaned back in his chair and gulped.“Everyone who goes after my mate and tries to kill him.Yes.”

“It’s too bad you don’t feel the same about your family.”
