Seriously, you gave away your bengal because she was not a good "fit" in your life? And she loved you so much on top of it all? No wonder that poor girl is terrified. She now has strange new owners, another cat running around, she has no territory or scent in this new home and she probably misses you terribly. She is stressed out and doesn't feel safe at all.
She should have been placed in a "safe" room with her litter box, food, water, toys, bed, etc. This move has overwhelmed her. She needs time to adjust and the new owners don't need to be trying to hold her, pet her, etc. This has to be on the kitty's terms. She probably feels abandoned at this point.
Know that the male in this home will be dominant over her. She may be bullied and aggressively sought out. Yes, perhaps in time, things will settle down. Maybe this new family will shower love on her. I know you feel you made the right decision, but if this situation does not work out in the end, she will be re-homed again, which is totally unfair to her. Owning a pet should be a life-long commitment. You are obviously worried as to how she is settling in. I hope things work out in the end for this little gal's sake.
