His Inescapable Mate novel Chapter 37

"Nora miss grandma?" Vincent whimpered, his ears flattening a bit.

I nodded. The best part about this backup excuse was that it's all true. I haven't seen my Grandma in years, nor have I had any contact with her. It's all because of the stupid territory rule that she's disappeared from my life. I had planned on running away to Florida, and once I was there, I'd look her up. "I guess if we get Jason's permission, you could take me to Florida so I could see her," I suggested. I sincerely hoped Vincent would turn down this offer. There's no way in Hell I'd want him to accompany me to Florida. Plus, it's a human territory, so I don't even know if he's allowed in there.

Vincent whimpered again. "No," he said softly.

Sweet! "Yeah," I said, fighting to keep the cheeriness out of my voice. "I guess you're right. Jason would never let us leave the territory, especially together."

Vincent pulled me in closer to him, nuzzling me. "Vincent no need Jason to take Nora to Florida," he said.

"Then what's up?" I asked, a little curious as to why he didn't want to go to Florida with me. Maybe werewolves weren't allowed in there.

Vincent kept quiet for a little bit, staring ahead at the path that we were walking along. It seemed to stretch on for a while in the forest. I wonder where we're going.

"Nora run away," Vincent said. Great, is he going to start crying again? "And Vincent find Nora's file."

My what? "What do you mean my file?" I asked. Is it like the fabled permanent record?

"Jason keep file on pack members," Vincent said. "Vincent read Nora's. It talk about her family."

"Okay?" I wasn't sure where he was going with this.

Vincent stopped walked and turned to me, looking down in my eyes. I had a little trouble seeing his face because the trees in the forest were blocking out a majority of the moonlight. However, over time my eyes adjusted and I could kind of see him. He looked worried and pitiful.

"Sandra Song," he said.

I cocked my eyebrow. "That's my grandma's name," I said, unsure how he knew this. Oh wait, it was probably listed in my file. That's weird.

Vincent reached up with his arm to touch me. This bitch, this dog who has the balls to lie to me about my own grandmother's life in an attempt to get me to stay with him, is actually trying to touch me…well he kind of is holding me to his body already, but still!

"No!" I screamed, actually hurting my throat a little bit because I was too loud. I shoved Vincent away from me.

Vincent stumbled a little bit and his heel caught on a tree root, causing him to fall on his back. Cool. I totally pushed a full-grown werewolf to the ground.

Vincent propped himself up on his elbows, looking at me with a torn expression. I even heard a slight whimper escape from him.

"What? You're going to cry again?" I yelled, throwing my hands up in the air.

"Nora?" Vincent whimpered, his eyes getting large and vulnerable-looking. "Mate?"

I shook my head. "Don't call me that," I hissed. "I choose Jason!"
