His Inescapable Mate novel Chapter 13

"Crystal, Reed's sister, should be here tomorrow. She's out on business now," Danni said, giving me a look. So Crystal is helping someone escape a mate right now, as I'm talking to Danni and her mate. Then that got me thinking: does Reed know what his sister does? If he found out, how would he react?

How would Vincent react if he found out my plans to leave him?

No, I can't think of that. Vincent won't find out, I'll leave to Florida safely and without a trace. Then I'll be able to live a normal human life.

Danni turned to Reed. "Reed, I need to help Nora in her time of need, so I won't be going to school today. Could you put my backpack back in our room?" she asked.

Reed looked ecstatic that Danni wouldn't be going to school today. He eagerly nodded and picked up the backpack that rested against the couch and went upstairs.

"Reed doesn't know, so don't talk about it near him," Danni whispered.

So Reed wasn't aware that his very own sister helps humans to flee their werewolf mates. Interesting. I nodded, keeping Danni's secret. "I just have one little question," I whispered back.

Danni looked around the corner, where I assumed the stairs were. She turned to face me and nodded.

"How do the werewolves react when their mates leave them?"

"Who's leaving their mate?" Reed asked, running into the room. A worried look was plastered all over his face, his hands shaking with apprehension. He turned to face Danni. "Are you leaving me?" The question was drenched in fear and pain.

"No!" Danni hurriedly said. "We're speaking hypothetically." She shot out of her seat and walked up to Reed, who immediately took her into his arms, keeping her tight against him. It looked as if he was trapping her there, just to make sure she could never leave him.

Would Vincent keep me from leaving him?

Most likely, yes. That goes to show I need to keep my escape plans as secretive as I can.

I spent the whole day with Danni and Reed. Danni would talk about things at school and assignments she was having trouble with, asking for my insight. Reed never warmed up to me, making sure he was always physically in between me and Danni. I'm assuming that whole "leaving mates" fiasco labeled me as a threat to his mating bond.

We were watching TV when the phone rang.

"I'll get it," Danni said, standing up out of Reed's lap. Reed whimpered when she was out of his grasp, but let her walk into the other room to answer the phone. When she was gone, he turned to me, his lip curling up over his teeth, displaying his fangs, a clear sign of intimidation.

Whatever. I rolled my eyes and looked back at the TV screen.

"Nora!" Danni called from the other room. "Your mom's on the phone!"

"I want her out! I want her out! That girl thinks she's gonna bring wolves into my family? No! She's gone!" my mom shrieked in the background.

Alpha sounded amused now. "Well, I guess it's all settled. I'm going to box up your clothes and move you into Vincent's home today. Just go there when you're done playing at your friend's house."

"Yes Sir," I whimpered, fighting back the lump that was growing in my throat.

"Oh, and Nora," Alpha added, "I should warn you that I know your type."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's just say that if you try to leave the territory, I'll have the best trackers on your ass faster than you can reach the border line. Understand?"

I nodded, then remembering that I was on the phone said, "Yes Sir."

Alpha hung up.

Originally I had planned on this being a good week. The winter months were finally over and it was starting to get hot. Plus that meant that the school year would soon be over, meaning I'd graduate.
