His Inescapable Mate novel Chapter 11

Well that certainly made me feel better. I just nodded. Before long, Vincent pulled up in front of a house that I didn't recognize.

"This is my house," he cleared up. He got out of the truck and walked over to my side, taking me up into his arms as if I weighed nothing. He walked up the path, taking me inside his house, a place I knew I'd have a hard time leaving...

Wait! He said he had work! Which means he'll leave me unsupervised for a few hours, which means I can escape!

I can leave Vincent today!

Vincent's POV

As soon as I carried my mate into my house, which would eventually become our house, I gently placed her on the couch in the living room. I figured she could watch TV and be comfortable while I'm away at work. However as soon as I set her down, I felt an instantaneous pang of loneliness in my core.

"I'll be back as soon as the school day ends," I promised her.

She simply nodded, not looking at me.

Stifling a whimper, I slumped my shoulders and left the house, making sure to lock the door on my way out.

I had to figure out a way to get Nora to accept me as her mate. Surely she should know that I'm the best choice for her, as I'm the only man capable to love her at the level I do.

All I have to do is find out what makes her happy.

The whole drive to the high school I went over in my mind about how I would win over my precious mate and get her to love me at least a fraction of how much I love her. When I pulled up to the school parking lot, some of the human girls glanced my way, their eyes filling up with lust.

I snarled at them, telling them that I'm taken.

They took the hint and immediately turned their gaze to the ground. I fought the smirk that was coming to play on my face. If only Nora had seen this. Then she'd know how dedicated I am to her.

I walked inside the school, heading towards the locker rooms to get my lesson plans for my first day as PE coach. Looking over my class assignments and students, my heart began to beat excitedly as I realized that Nora would be in my last class of the day.

"You smell like Nora," I stated, explaining why I had approached her.

Understanding lit up Jessie's face. "Oh! You're the wolf that claimed her as his mate. You're Victor."

"Vincent," I corrected. "But anyway, I need your help."

"With what?"

I looked around, making sure no other werewolves were nearby and could hear. It was considered embarrassing to a wolf to have their mate hate them. The werewolf PE class was in the gym, watching a presentation on sexual education and safety. I was safe to tell this human girl then.

"Nora is distant, and I need to get her to like me."

Jessie nodded. "I'd love to help you Coach Abin, I really would. But I have to run the mile, and when I run, I can't think straight. See my problem?" She smirked.
