Cloe: Two for the Bite of One by Jana Leigh Read Free Book Online Page A

attracted to Cloe, he thought at one time they were mates, and though he felt a twinge here and there, he never felt the pull that his parents described to him.
    But right now, he would gladly rip out this guy"s throat for looking at her.
    The tall man walked around the table, and took Cloe"s hand in his. He bent down and whispered something into her ear, and then kissed her gently on the cheek and stood up to meet Teagan's eyes. “How long will it take for her to wake?” Just then, the door flew open, and Teagan turned to see Cloe"s fierce looking mother standing in the doorway. Shit, this was going to get ugly. Anyone who threatened the Pack, yes, had to deal with the Enforcers and the Alpha. But nothing compared with having to deal with Alpha Adele when she was pissed. He had seen a full-grown wolf cry when she set her sights on him, and that was just for suggesting that Cloe was not strong enough to be the Beta.
    “Cloe!” Her mom cried and ran to the edge of the bed. “Teagan, did you kill those mother fuckers?” She growled when she saw her daughter lying unconscious on the bed.
    “Silver, well I never, dumb ass chicken shit wolves, can"t face her like a real man, no they have to try to weaken her first! That is because they were scared, scared, and weak!” She thundered and ran her hands along her daughter"s leg, assuring herself that she was still alive and okay.
    “Yes, Alpha. They were disposed of, but not by us, by Cloe. She took them all out before we could do anything.” Teagan said with pride in his voice.
    “Of course she did, there were only four of them.” Her mother said and sniffed. “Bryan is coming now; we will have a meeting as soon as Cloe wakes up.” Adele turned to the large man who had stepped back into the corner and smiled. “So you are her mate?”
    Darien felt a little like he was a piece of meat on a hook the way she was looking at him.
    Holy shit, she was more than a little scary.
    “Yes. I believe so.” Darien said stepping forward and holding out his hand. “My name is Darien; I am from the Denver Pack.”
    Adele waved her hand as if she was brushing him off. “I know, just checking.” Darien raised his eyebrows; no one had dismissed him like that before. He was Beta, and one of the most feared wolves in the world next to Devon and his brother. Shaking his head, he wondered what the hell was going to happen next. He started the day going on a routine drive, coming to Milliken to check out another endless lead.
    Just as quickly, as the woman came into the room, she left and Darien shook his head.
    This was going to be a problem, he thought. Darien pulled out his phone and called the office of the Denver Pack. Surprisingly enough, Quin answered the phone. He quickly explained the situation, and arranged for a group of Enforcers to drive to Milliken immediately. He found one of the Chosen and needed extra protection. Quin was pissed when he found out the Rogue had already tried to attack. It seemed like they were one step ahead of them, and they could not figure out how. Jaden, Devon, and Darien all thought there was someone working on the inside, they just could not seem to figure out who.
    Cloe groaned and he stepped up to his mate. She was gorgeous, Darien thought, not some little wilting flower either. He hated it that she was hurt though, if he had his way, she would be with him all the time and no one would get close enough to hurt her. She was a Beta and exuded power, his perfect match. Her beautiful eyes looked at him, trying to focus and she said, “What the fuck happened?” Teagan laughed and pulled the IV from his arm and then stood and did the same for her.
    “Blood loss, silver poisoning.” He said shortly, Cloe hated long explanations.
    “Shit, did I get them?” Cloe said with her eyes still closed.
    “Yep, and still had a bullet to spare, not that you needed it.” Teagan laughed.
    “Good, hate to waste good ammo.” She said and then opened one eye. She
