His Inescapable Mate novel Chapter 51

He can't be serious! This isn't possible! "Uh, Jessie and I haven't really talked to each other lately," I said, hoping this would get the target off her back if I made Jason angry.

"Well if you want it like that, Danni stays home when her mate is at work."

My breath hitched in my throat. So Jessie and Danni's lives depended on me staying with Jason? I was shaking in my seat, my whole body feeling heavy and cold.

Jason pulled me closer to him. "Don't worry Mate," he cooed as he kissed my forehead, "they'll be fine as long as you're a good girl." With that he started to rub my cheek with his giant thumb, growling contently.

The rest of the ride I was stiff as a board, afraid for my friends' live that if I messed up...well you know. We finally arrived back at Jason's house, and he got out, running to my side, helping me to my feet. He most likely did this to make sure I wouldn't try to run off. Not that I would. I love Jessie like a sister and Danni's been growing on me.

I can save Danni easily. All I have to do is tell Reed and he'll do anything to save her, maybe even leave the territory. Jessie would be a little harder to save. I could warn her, but she probably would not believe me because she actually trusts werewolves, like Jason. How on earth can I save my friends and get away from this psycho wolf?

I could go back to Vincent.

There's no doubt in my mind that he'd stop at nothing to help me. The problem with that is that I'd have to find him. Now I know he's in the neighboring omega community, but I don't really know how to get there. I was passed out the first time, and it was dark when Jason drove. Therefore, I'm royally screwed.

I felt a tug on my arm and realized that Jason was leading me to the house where I'd most likely never be allowed to leave without an escort or some other crazy bullshit.

I groaned. "I hate you," I muttered to myself.

Jason snarled, making me freeze. Goosebumps formed all over my flesh and I looked at him in dread.

Jason snarled at me, his teeth bared and his eyes glowing red. Oh shit, I'm in trouble. My legs began to shake with fear. "Uhh, just kidding," I nervously laughed.

"Sure," Jason sneered, mimicking my nervous laugh. "I guess now you can say goodbye to Danni."

"I don't know what you're talking about," I whimpered, shaking like mad under the stare and hold of this monster.

"It's probably better that way," Jason said as he pushed away from the wall. "Go to bed, I have business to attend to." And with that he walked out of the house, locking me inside because he had those locks one needs a key for even when inside.

I was trapped.

For a couple of minutes, I just stayed in place, shocked beyond belief. First of all, I found myself microscopically attracted to Vincent. Second, Jason shows up and drags me away. Third, Jason goes all patriarchal psycho. And finally, I think I just got Danni killed, or my best friend Jessie.

And what did Jason mean by "Last Resort"? I've never heard that phrase before.

Figuring that there was really nothing that I could do, I trudged up the stairs to the bedroom. I made sure to lock the door behind me and then lied down on the bed, staying above the covers. I even kept all my clothes on, including my shoes. There was really no point in trying to get comfortable in Jason's house, considering that as long as I'm near him, I'll be tense and afraid.
