  He wants from her the same thing we wanted.

  أَرَدْنَا — we wanted. A past-tense verb whose '-na' ending means 'we', so the plural subject rides inside the form. It fills the relative clause, naming what the narrator's side had wanted. The built-in first-person plural subject is why no separate 'we' appears.
