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

saw the man who had been in the diner with her father leaning against the wall watching the two of them talk. Her mate, she wondered if her father had figured out yet who he was.
    “What?”
    “Nothing, just trying to figure out what is going on. You are the Beta of the Pack and the doctor of the Pack. How exactly does that work? You shoot someone then patch them up so you can torture them?” Darien laughed.
    “Uh, no, I usually don"t have to shoot anyone. In fact, we have had no problem in our little town until you drove in. I would venture to guess that it is your fault that they were here.” Cloe drawled and pushed herself up.
    “Yeah, well we need to talk about that.” Darien said reaching out to help her.
    Teagan growled at the man. Darien looked at him surprised and felt his wolf rise to the surface a little, and he growled back. Cloe looked up at both of them in surprise and laughed. “Whoa, testosterone boys, tone it down a little.” When neither of them backed off Cloe looked back at them and frowned. “Teagan?” Teagan shook his head and looked at his friend. “Mine.” He growled and pulled her toward him.
    Cloe laughed and looked at her longtime friend and said, “What the hell?”
    “No, mine.” Darien growled and pulled her other arm. She felt like a doggie tug toy between two very large dogs.
    “Dude. STOP.” She yelled, and the door once again was thrown open and her father strode into room and with a glance assessed the situation.
    “Cloe, go in the other room with your mother, clearly we have an issue we need to deal with.” Bryan ordered and pointed to the door. As if she was going to actually do what he asked. Damnit, she was sick people telling her where to go when they were deciding her life.
    “Dad, I am not leaving until we figure this out.” Cloe said and folded her arms sat back on the bed. Her leg was still hurting, and she did not want to have to take pain meds.
    There was no way she was going to leave the room so the „men" could discuss this around her.
    “Fine, Teagan, what is going on?” Bryan said and rolled his eyes. He had raised his daughter to be strong and independent. She made a good Beta; she understood the Pack and the rules. But when it came to mating, she had no clue. Bryan remembered the words of the Seer like it was yesterday. Cloe would have two mates, and become pregnant soon after meeting them. He and his wife had not told this part to her, because he knew his daughter, and knew that she was going to be pissed.
    Bryan had questioned the Seer back when she had first revealed the Prophesy. He wondered why the New Council needed to have a child in order to claim their seat on the Council. It was the one question the Seer never answered. She had just told them that all would be revealed when the time came. After doing a lot of research over the years, Adele and Bryan both thought that when one of the Chosen had their child, they would receive another gift from the Gods. This of course was just a guess, but he thought the gifts were actually the key to completing their destiny.
    “Sir, not really sure. I just gave Cloe the transfusion, so she would recover quicker from the silver poisoning. When this guy touched Cloe, I kinda freaked out.” Teagan said and frowned again at the stranger.
    “This guy is her mate.” Daren growled back.
    “This is a doctor"s office not a vet. Stop it with all the growling shit and let"s discuss this.” Cleo said.
    “No need. Blood Bond.” Bryan said.
    “What is it with you people using one word sentences? Explain.” Darien said and waved his hand at the Alpha. Crap, seriously, he was going to get his ass kicked, but he was losing his patience. Nothing today had gone as planned, mate, bullets, blood bonds, crazy ass mothers. What was next, a purple elephant walking down the street?
    “Cloe and Teagan exchanged blood. Most of the time, if a wolf needs blood, they are given human donated blood or their mates blood. In this
