Blake's POV:

                "Ask him what phone company the phone is using." Detective Murray told me as we sat outside, listening to Liam take deep breaths. I nodded before doing as he asked, knowing that they'd be able to trace Liam's location through the network he was using.

                "Love?"

                "Y-yes, Blakey?"

                "Is this Jacobey's phone?"

                "Oh, um, no. I-it's mine. Ma and Papa gave it to me y-yesterday as we left."

                "That's great! I'll be sure to kiss their feet when I see them." I joked, making my mate giggle slightly. "Can you look at the screen and tell me what phone company you're using?"

                "O-okay." He mumbled. A few seconds later, his voice was back as he mumbled the name of the network. I recalled the information to Detective Murray and also gave the elephant the number that Liam was calling from. Once he had all of the information, he got to work tracing the call which wouldn't take much time.

                It was quiet once again as I listened to my mate breathe. Just knowing that he was on the other end of the line made my lion relax a bit. Hearing that Jacobey had touched him pissed me off to no end. Hearing that he had fucking hit him made me livid. It wasn't an empty threat when I said whoever this Jacobey person was, was dead.

                "Blakey, you're growling." Liam's soft voice broke through my angry haze. I took a deep breath to stop my sudden growls, not wanting to scare my mate more than he probably already was.

                "I'm sorry, lo-" Liam squeaked, cutting me off as I heard angry pounding on a door.

                "Precious, are you still in the bathroom?" A voice said, making Liam whimper.

                "H-He's back early." He whispered softer than his usual tone. It was almost impossible to hear him over the pounding on the door. Instantly, I knew it was this Jacobey guy.

                "Precious, open the door now! I don't like being ignored."

                "Tell him you're not feeling well." I told Liam as I impatiently tapped Detective Murray's shoulder. I heard Liam relay the message to Jacobey as Murray raised one finger at me. Seconds later, he held up his thumb.

                "We got him." He told me, making me sigh in relief as Liam screamed. I listened as the phone made contact with something as Liam shuffled.

                "I thought I gave you clothes to change into!" Jacobey stated angrily. My guess was Liam had successfully hidden the phone from view.

                "We have to move now. Jacobey is back." I told Murray, causing him to nod.

                "I'm on my way, baby." I said into the phone although I knew that my mate didn't hear a word I had said.

Liam's POV:

                Half an hour hadn't even passed yet, so what in the world was he doing back? I shrank into the corner of the bathroom as Jacobey menacingly advanced toward me.

                "When I tell you to do something, I expect you to do it!" He said angrily, slapping me across the face again. This one was harder than the last, but I didn't have time to cup my possibly bruising cheek as he dragged me up from the floor.

                Tears blurred my vision as he pushed me out of the bathroom, causing the splinters from the broken wooden door to make their way into my foot. I whimpered as the pain from my foot and my face made me cry more. Please hurry, Blakey.

                I was thrown onto the floor beside a bed while Jacobey began to pace.

                "I left a simple fucking task for you! Yet, you still smell like that beast. I'm disappointed, precious." He muttered to me. "I know what you need." He finished, stopping his pacing to smirk at me. Before I could question it, Jacobey grabbed me again and bent me over his lap as he sat on the edge of the bed.

                "You seem to like when that beast spanks you, let's see if I can get the same reaction."

***

Blake's POV:

                "Can we go any faster?" I questioned heatedly as I listened to Liam cry as he was spanked repeatedly. I wanted to end the call, but something wouldn't allow me to. The longer I listened, the more I knew that I was going to enjoy tearing Jacobey limb from limb.

                "We're going as fast as we can." Murray said, and I glanced over the dashboard to see that he was driving well past the speed limit. My legs bounced in anger because I still felt like we weren't moving fast enough. I almost wanted to shift and run there myself, but I didn't know Liam's exact location.

                "Pl-please stop!" My mate begged.

                "You should've thought of that and changed into the clothes I gave you!"

                The angry phrase was followed by more spanking and Liam crying out louder.

                "I swear, nothing is going to stop me from burying both Jacobey and Zara six feet under." I muttered. Detective Walker turned to face me from the passenger's seat.

                "Lucky for you, shifter laws are different from regular human laws, especially when it comes to mates." She said to me as I moved the phone away from my ear. I nodded knowing that even if it was against the law, no one was going to stop me from protecting what is mine.

Liam's POV:

                "There, all done, precious." Jacobey mumbled as he cradled me in his arms. The burn on my bum didn't feel as pleasurable as it did when Blakey spanked me, but I was still erect, and that made me more disgusted with myself than I was with the owl. Maybe I am a slut, I thought as I wiggled in Jacobey's lap, hoping to stop the pain.

                "If you keep moving like that, precious, I won't be able to stop myself from ravishing you." He said, causing me to stop immediately. I scrambled from his lap, falling to the floor and hissing in pain as my bum made contact with the hard surface. I covered my privates, embarrassed that he was looking at me in such a compromising situation. I wasn't aroused because of him; I was aroused because I was a freak!

                How could I get aroused when Jacobey wasn't my mate? Blakey was going to hate me! I couldn't believe I was going to lose him when I just got him. And it was all because I left the house.

                I've never regretted a simple decision as much as I did now.

***

Blake's POV:

                "You got a tenant named Jacobey? I want his apartment number now!" I said forcefully to the landlord. Walker and Murray tried to pull me away from the frightened gazelle, but I was already too gone to give a fuck if he was scared or not.

                The landlord looked through his paperwork before squeaking out the right apartment number. I snarled when he said that Jacobey was on the eight floor, but I was already taking the steps two at a time. Murray and Walker tried to keep up, but I was already breaking down Jacobey's door when they made it by my side.

                Another snarl escaped my lips as I entered the apartment to find my mate huddled in the corner, being hunched over by a naked man. The man turned around to face me, and I immediately realized he was the clerk from Party City that I took Liam to two months ago. Of fucking course! Jacobey, duh. I moved quickly to grab Jacobey by the neck, moving his naked body from over my mate.

                "Take Liam out of here." I told the detectives darkly as I purposely grew out my claws to puncture Jacobey's neck. They led my mate out of the apartment with no questions asked. I didn't even take the chance to glance at him, too worried that I would scare him away with my murderous glare. Once they were out of sight, I brought Jacobey closer to my face, muttering lowly to him.

                "I promised my mate that you'd be dead when I saw you. I intend to keep that promise."

***

Liam's POV:

                I've only been Jacobey's captive for a couple of hours, but it honestly felt like forever. I was more than grateful when Detective Walker wrapped an arm around my shoulder and led me out of the horrid apartment. Unfortunately, we didn't move fast enough as I heard Blake's last words, followed by the sound of bone breaking and a sickening scream.

                I covered my ears as I willed my legs to move faster. My breaths came out in short puffs as my world began to spin. The thought that Blakey was going to hate me for getting aroused while being spanked by Jacobey kept repeating in my mind. I didn't deserve a mate as great as him when I was such a freak.

                "Liam? Liam? Hey, look at me, little lamb." Detective squatted down to my eye level, but my gaze was unfocused. The fear of losing Blake outweighed any rational thinking I was supposed to be doing. Cold sweat broke out all over my skin as I jumped away from Detective Walker and shook my head in pure panic.

                "H-he's going to l-leave me, isn't he? Pl-please make him stay! I l-love him very much. I can't lose h-him. Please!"

                I tried to catch my breath, but the air wouldn't make its way to my lungs like I desperately needed it to, much like I needed Blake. The place kept spinning, and before I knew it, everything had gone pitch black.

***

Blake's POV:

                It caused both me and my lion great joy to see Jacobey's body scattered all over the place. It made me even prouder to know that I had done so with my bare hands, and with the help of my claws. I was covered in blood, but it didn't matter as I stepped out of the wrecked apartment.

                I followed the scent of mate to the end of the hallway where he was passed out on the ground. Detective Walker was checking his vitals as Murray called for someone on the phone. When they saw me, they immediately stepped away from my mate so that I could kneel down and cradle him in my arms. I purred as I nuzzled his neck, his familiar scent washing over me in the most pleasurable way.

                "Medics are on the way, Blake, and someone is coming to clean up the apartment." Murray told me, causing me to nod distractedly.

                "They're going to have to put Jacobey back like a puzzle piece." I told him truthfully before kissing Liam's sweaty forehead. Blood smeared over his face as I caressed his cheek, but I didn't care because he was in my arms once again.

                "What happened to all the other tenants that live on this floor?" I questioned when the sudden thought hit me. Walker shook her head in frustration as she looked down at me and Liam.

                "Apparently, Jacobey has quite the reputation on this floor. Everyone was more than happy to turn a deaf ear."

                "Quite the reputation?" I asked confusedly, frowning in thought.

                "Liam isn't his first victim." Murray muttered, making me growl lowly. Even worse; good riddance to the son of a bitch.

                Murray's phone rang before I could respond, and he answered it quickly. It was silent, other than Murray's quiet talk, as I rocked my mate in my arms. Who knew that a mate would make you do such bizarre things? If someone were to ask me if I would do this all over again to save Liam, would I? The immediate answer would be yes.

                "The medics are coming up." Murray said as he ended his call. I nodded distractedly again, thinking about how I didn't deserve someone as pure as Liam.

Liam's POV:

                The next time I opened my eyes, I was in a hospital bed. Groaning as I looked around the room, I took note of the too white walls and the strong smell of bleach, immediately deciding that I didn't like it here. What happened?

                Fortunately, I didn't have time to ponder on the thought for too long because the door opened suddenly, catching my attention. I waited in anticipation as whoever it was quietly entered the room before shutting the door. Fear consumed my being as I thought that it was Jacobey coming back for me, but I relaxed instantly as green eyes locked with my own from behind the curtain protecting the bed.

                "Liam!" Blakey grinned, rushing to my bedside to cup my face and kiss me deeply. I melted, all thoughts from earlier vanishing as my mate took my breath away with a desperate kiss. I whimpered, but I didn't dare to pull away, knowing that I needed the reassurance as much as he did.

                However, when we both had to breathe, he pulled away unwillingly.

                "Didn't I tell you that I would find you?" He asked in a soft voice, rubbing his nose against mine. Unsuspecting tears ran down my face as I nodded in happiness. "I always keep my promise, love."

                "D-does that mean t-that Jacobey..."

                "Can't kidnap your or anyone else ever again."

                I couldn't help the loud sob as I hugged Blake tightly, burying my face in his neck as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

                "I love you! I-I love you so much!" I declared, crying just a little harder as he nuzzled my neck just the way I liked. Jacobey could never compare to him!

                "I love you too, baby. Try not to ever forget that." He joked, making me giggle.

                With me in Blakey's arms and the threat taken care of, I relaxed as I realized that everything was going to be okay. I hope.
