Chloe Johnson.

"What's wrong, Caleb? You've been quiet since we found the, um, body." We were both now sitting in our room just watching TV and staring into space a little. We had informed Jaxon and he sorted out the little girl who was now an orphan since her dad had died in battle. But something seemed to have been bothering Caleb. Was it the death?

"I know." He said sighing. He got up and walked into the bathroom. I got off the bed and followed him. I knew he wasn't doing anything private or personal because he would've shut the door, right?

"Caleb-"

"There was a note." I stare at him as he put toothpaste on his toothbrush.

"A note?" What did he mean by note? What did it say? "What did it say?" I ask after he brushed his teeth.

He turned and looked at me, sadness in his eyes. "Watch out, Chloe."

"That's what it said?"

"Yes."

"What the... What does that mean?"

"I don't know." Suddenly I was brought into a warm embrace, Caleb's strong arms wrapping around me. "I'll protect you."

"I can-"

"I know you can, but I'll still protect you. You're my mate and I won't let anything happen to you."

After that moment, I realised that Caleb was scared to lose me. He looked so...vulnerable. "Caleb?"

"Mm?"

"I can't sleep." He wrapped his arms around me and snuggled his face in my neck.

"I still didn't get that kiss." I laugh and turn to face him. He was now looking at my lips and smirking. "We better not get interrupted again." He leans closer and so do I, just to close the gap quicker so we actually do get our kiss. Yes, I want him to kiss me.

Our lips meet and I felt him smile before we start kissing. It starts to get heated as his ha de start to wander. I stop him. "Not yet." I mumble.

"That was good enough for me, sweetheart." I smile and just stare up at the ceiling. "You're worried about the note, aren't you?"

"Yeah." I turn and look at him. "Who was it from? Who wants me dead?"

"I don't know, sweetheart."

"I've got to tell my dad. He might be able to help."

"We'll tell him tomorrow, yeah? We can call him or something."

"I'll just call him now and ask him to come over to this pack so we can talk."

"It's late, Chloe. He's probably sleeping."

"Yeah but still.." I get out of the bed and grab my phone and dial dad's number.

"Hello?" I hear him answer, rather sleepily.

"Hey dad."

"Who is it?" I hear mum ask in the background.

"It's Chloe." I hear mum ask if I'm alright and dad saying that he just only answered. I chuckle. "Are you okay, Chloe?"

"Can you come over to Jaxon's pack tomorrow?"

"Why? Is everything okay? Are you okay?"

"Um yeah, I just need to talk to you about something."

"Alright then, goodnight baby girl."

"Goodnight, dad."

After a few hours of solid training with Jaxon's pack, my dad had arrived. "Oh, hey dad. Give me like ten minutes so I can just freshen up."

"Sure thing, baby girl."

I quickly run upstairs and run into the bathroom. Thank goodness Caleb wasn't in here.

I quickly finish my shower and wrap a towel around myself. I walk out and Caleb was there, looking me up and down. "You look sexy in just a towel." I roll my eyes and find nice clothes to wear.

"My dad is downstairs, do you want to get showered up and all?"

"Oh, sure. Don't tell him without me, okay?"

"Okay."

Caleb heads into the bathroom and when I'm sure he's in the shower, I quickly change into clean clothes and head downstairs.

"Hey dad."

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Um yeah, kind of."

"Don't give me that. Why did you want me to come down here? Is it the training? Do you need help?"

"No, no.. Um, can we wait till Caleb comes?"

"Chloe, are you pregnant already?!"

"What the hell, dad? No!"

"Engaged?"

"Nothing like that dad.. Anyway, how's mum and Seth?"

"They're doing good, your mum told us some pretty big news.. She forgot to tell us at dinner."

"What was it?"

"She was suppose to tell us a few days ago actually.."

"Spill it out, dad."

"She's pregnant."

"She is? Oh my gosh- wait ew! I didn't know you guys still did it."

"Chloe, seriously?"

"Right, right. But wow, congrats! I'm going to be a big sister!"

"Well-"

"Seth and I are the same age. So, it doesn't count."

"Well, okay. We've got a scam tomorrow and it'll determine whether the baby is a werewolf or human."

"Oh, wow okay. How did the birth work with Seth and I? Since he's human and I'm not."

"The pregnancy was a werewolf pregnancy since you grew quick. Seth grew quick because of my Alpha genes. He sadly didn't inherit the actual ability to turn into a werewolf."

"Oh, that's a real bummer.."

"Yeah."

"So-"

"Mr Johnson, good to see you." I look behind me and see Caleb coming towards us, then taking a seat next to me. He takes hold of my hand. "Not sure if she told you-"

"She has t said anything so please tell me you aren't pregnant or getting married?"

"Dad! I told you we weren't."

"Sir, there was an attack yesterday on one of the pack members. She died." Getting straight into it then.. "A little girl had came to our room and brought us to her mum. She had been brutally murdered."

"So-"

"There was a note with the mum's body. It read, watch out, Chloe."

"We were wondering... Like, who would be out to get me? Do you, dad?"

Dad sighed and rubbed the back of his neck then ruffled his hair. "I guess it's to,e to tell you then."
