His Inescapable Mate novel Chapter 30

Vincent nodded, still keeping me trapped to him.

Alpha then turned to me. "So Nora," he said, putting on a wide smile, "this week, you'll be with both me and Vincent, then at the end, you'll choose who'll be your mate. Okay?"

What?

Alpha walked up and went behind me, wrapping his arms around me there. It felt really awkward: Vincent was holding me from the front, and Alpha was holding me from the back. I glanced up at Vincent's face, but he wasn't looking at me. I looked over at Alpha, or Jason I guess, to see that the both of them were having a stare down.

This is going to be a long week.

Now usually a girl would jump through hoops in order to have two men pining for her affection. I would too, if only those men weren't werewolves. It was only Day 1, and already I'm ready to pull my hair out.

After that awkward three-way hug, I complained about how hungry I was. That prompted both Vincent and Jason to rush into the kitchen and start concocting stuff I assume was meant to be breakfast. Vincent attempted to make me some eggs and bacon, but he accidentally burnt the bacon and there were some shells left in the eggs. Jason...well, I don't know what he tried to make. It looked too gross to even poke my fork in.

The both of them stared at me, eager faces on as they set their food down in front of me. My gaze alternated between them and their crappy food. Eventually I just stood up and grabbed a bowl of Cheerios, which tasted a little stale. So I guess all three of us suck at food.

After that, I wanted to take a shower. I could see both the looks on Vincent's and Jason's face, as both of them went from being eager, to turned on, to jealous.

"With who?" they both asked at the same time.

My jaw must have hit the floor as I stared at them in disbelief. "What do you mean 'with who'?" I cried out, throwing my hands up in the air.

Jason smiled for a brief moment. "Nora," he cooed, "your safety is very important to me. I just want to be around to make sure you're alright at all times."

Vincent rolled his eyes. "Mate," he said in a flat voice. "I've already seen you naked. So you can trust me to be the one with you in there." When did he see me naked? Oh yea, he scented me when I was asleep, so he probably caught a few peeps.

"Like in the actual tub? Or just the bathroom?" I questioned.

Vincent's smile grew this time. "The tub of course."

He better not. I jumped into the bathtub with my clothes on. I shut the glass door, glad that there was some limestone on there so that my body wouldn't be clearly visible to the grown man in here.

"So," I wondered, "how old are you anyway?" I stripped off my clothes, throwing them over the gap between the door and the ceiling. I then started the water on the shower, making it a little extra hot to steam up the glass door faster in case Jason let his hormones get the best of him.

I heard Jason sigh. "I'm..." he mumbled the last part, so I couldn't hear him.

"What?" I asked.

"I'm thirty," he growled. "But Vincent's twenty-five, which is a little too immature for you, don't you think?"

There was a low growl from the other side of the bathroom door. It figures that Vincent would be standing right there like the creeper that he is.

I huffed as I lathered shampoo in my hair. "Dude, can't you just find your own second mate? Like the both of you, that way I don't have to be put into this situation?" If both Jason and Vincent found their second mates, then I'd be free! How awesome would that be?
