day and to close up and go home. Something was brewing and she did not want her people in harm"s way.
    “What happened?” He mom yelled in the phone at her.
    “Men came to the diner, asking all these questions, and then told Dad that he had a message from someone named Oliver. He said something about the Seer"s Prophesy was back in play.” Cloe said briskly and held the phone with her shoulder as she opened her safe. There was the stash of money her parents had given her many years ago, along with a new identity that they renewed every few years. She by passed all of those, and grabbed her weapon that was stored in the back. It was a gun loaded with silver bullets.
    Her father told her she should never use it unless she was threatened. Though one of the wolves who were in her father office was her mate, she did not know whether she could trust him.
    “WHAT? Where is your father? Why are you calling me? Where are you? Have you already left?” She screamed in her ear. Her mother was a small dainty little woman and small wolf. She had long black hair and was the most beautiful woman in the world to Cloe. She was also a force to be reckoned with. Most of the members of the Pack respected her father and knew that he was the strongest wolf in the Pack. They feared her mother, because she was loose cannon.
    “Dad is with the strangers in the Pack meeting room. I am just calling to ask, how serious is this? I refuse to leave until I know exactly what is going on. Dad is safe, with the rest of the Enforcers. Teague is there. I am in my office, getting some stuff together.
    Besides, I thought you should know I couldn"t leave. One of the men that came today is my mate. I have no intention of becoming one of their Chosen, but I still can"t deny my mate.” Cloe said calmly.
    “NO, ignore it, you have to leave. Remember what your father and I told you. I am serious; I told you last year, I did not care how old you were. This is not up for debate.
    If someone mentioned that damn Prophesy, you leave. We will contact you when you can return. At least go to your house and stay there until your father can talk to them.” Her mom yelled.
    Shit, she was almost thirty years old and she just got sent to her room? Damn it, she was the Beta of this Pack. She had fought her way here fair and square. She would be damned if she were going to run and hide in her house and wait for someone to tell her it was safe to come out. “Mom, you know I can"t do that.”
    “Cloe, I have told you time and time again. You are one of the Chosen. These people could be trying to trick you and steal you away. Oliver may have given up, but we never did. I knew you would be called on to fulfill the Prophesy; it was a matter of time. But if they are trying to catch you, if you stay, you will play into their hands.” He mom said urgently. “I will go and see what is what, and call you. But you must protect yourself. I know you know how to do that.”
    “Mom, I can handle this. I am the Beta of this Pack, and I do not run away from anything. As for the Prophesy, we both know that it will never work, at the first sign of trouble it will fold again and then where will we be?” Cloe replied angrily.
    “Please, for me.” Her mom begged and Cloe closed her eyes and knew she was going to do what her mom asked.
    “Fine, I will give you thirty minutes, but I am staying in my office, I can always get out the back. Call me when I can come over to the house. If you don"t call, I am coming over.” Cloe said and hung up on her mom. She was frustrated and pissed off, something she had not felt in a longtime. When she was in college, her father sent an Enforcer with her to protect her. At least it had been Teagan, but still it had pissed her off.
    Cloe threw the phone in her bag and gathered everything from her safe. She needed to be ready in case her father ordered her to leave. She did not want to, but she knew that if push came to shove, she would not defy her
