His Inescapable Mate novel Chapter 52

I don't know how long I just lied there on Jason's bed, staring up at the white ceiling, making figures from the popcorn style. Eventually I drifted off to sleep.

My eyes began to flutter as sunlight filtered through the window. I stretched out my limbs, listening in satisfaction as my legs popped.

"Morning Mate," I heard Jason murmur, sleep still fighting to hold onto him.

I shot upward, realizing that I was now under the covers, with my shoes removed. I could feel the rest of my clothes on me though. I looked down at Jason, who was lying next to me, his muscled arm draped over my waist. I could tell he was shirtless because his bare shoulders were visible.

When he caught me looking at him, his mouth pulled into a smile and his canines glimmered in the sunlight, showing me how strong and powerful they were.

I just smiled shyly at him, scared as fuck to be near him right now. My heartbeat sped up, and of course he had to hear it.

"What's wrong?" Jason asked, concern all over his face. He sat upright, wrapping both of his arms around me. "Tell me what's bothering you."

My first instinct was to just shrug him off, saying nothing was wrong. But of course he wouldn't believe me. "What's the Last Resort?" I asked.

The look on Jason's face told me it was something very serious. His mouth fell open and his eyes widened. As he held me close to him, I felt his own heartbeat start to go into overdrive. He's afraid of something, that's for sure.

"You don't have to worry yourself about that now," he said, moving away from me. He got off the bed and moved towards the dressers, grabbing a white t-shirt, which stretched over his bulk.

"What aren't you telling me?" I asked, getting out of the bed myself. I followed Jason as he walked out of the room and into the kitchen. He wouldn't even look me straight in the face right now.

"It's nothing," he growled, telling me to drop the subject.

"Then I'll just ask another wolf," I huffed, throwing my arms up in the air.

"No you won't!" Jason shouted, slamming his fist down on the counter, sending a large crack throughout it.

I held up my hands in surrender. "Okay," I whimpered. "I'll drop it."

A smile returned to Jason's face, but it was relieved, not happy. "Good," he said. He walked over to me and wrapped his arm around me, pulling me in to kiss my forehead. Then he looked down at my face, that smile turning into a genuine, full-blown grin. "I love you, you know that, right?"

On the second ring she picked up.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Jessie!" I shouted. "Where are you now?"

"Where am I? Where are you?" she asked. "Nora, people have no idea where you are. Jason went crazy and raided the high school. And your mate Vincent's been labeled a traitor and the wolves have been ordered to attack on the spot. Are you safe?"

Holy crap. "Uhh, yeah, I'm good. Are you good?" I asked. "Do you notice anyone following you or anything?"

"What are you talking about?" Jessie asked, sounding confused. "I'm at the mall. What's up with you? Are you with incent now? 'Cause if you are, run! You're not safe with him!"

Well obviously Jessie hasn't met Jason. Now that I think about it, no one really knows I'm his mate. "Jessie!" I cried, then lowered my voice out of fear that one of Jason's henchmen heard me. "Now, I know this hard for you, but please be quiet until I finish. But Alpha chose me as his mate and-"
