His Inescapable Mate novel Chapter 54

Perfect. All I have to do is convince the wolf that tries to catch me that I have silver, and then he should grow afraid to get near me. Hopefully.

My knife in hand, I hurried over to the kitchen window. I undid the lock and slid it open, popping out the screen. Seriously, if Jason wanted to make the doors hard to leave out of, one would think he'd work on the windows as well. Oh well. I shoved myself through the window, falling onto my ass as soon as I was outside.

It was really cloudy and looked as if it were about rain. However, the air was very dry, getting rid of all the moisture in my mouth. Or maybe I was just terrified out of my mind. Yeah, it's most likely the second one. My heart was slamming against my ribcage, loud enough for all the werewolves in the territory to hear.

I threw myself off the ground and rushed over to the tree line. All I can remember from the outside world during the drive back here was a lot of trees. So that made it safe to assume that the territory where Vincent is lies on the other side of the forest.

The forest wasn't too far from Jason's house, so I reached it in a matter of seconds. My feet were slapping against the ground pretty loudly, so there was no doubt in my mind that a werewolf heard me. I clutched the knife in my hand even tighter. In the forest, all the trees looked the same. In no time I was lost.

"Crap!" I hissed to myself.

"Now Nora, that's not really proper language for a lady, is it?" asked a voice behind me.

I tensed and turned around, only to be confronted by Kyle from school. Huh, haven't seen him in a while, but then again that's kind of a good thing. "What are you doing here?" I demanded, hiding my knife behind my back.

Kyle chuckled and took a step forward. "Alpha gave me explicit orders to make sure you don't leave the house."

I took a step away from him, my breathing starting to speed up.

"So c'mon Nora," he said, holding out his hand. "Let's go back to your house."

I pulled the knife out, pointing at him. I even shifted my stance into attack mode to intimidate him. Although Kyle probably heard my erratic heartbeat. "I'm not going anywhere with you," I spat.

Kyle laughed. "What is that? A butter knife?" He doubled over in hysterics. "You're gonna scrape me to death?"

Well that deflated my shard of confidence. "It's silver!"

Kyle now fell onto the ground, holding his sides as he laughed at me. "That's just a myth!"

Damn. So there went my master plan for escape. The smart thing to do here would be to just walk back to Jason's house with Kyle and accept my fate. But something g in side m shouted at me that I haven't made smart decisions so far, so why start now?

I dashed over to Kyle who was still laughing on the floor. I swung back my foot, then brought it crashing into his jaw. The collision hurt my toes like a bitch, but it was oh so satisfying to see Kyle's head jerk back.

"What?" I asked.

Reed looked down, his face void of any color or life. "It's what Danni would have wanted," he stated in a flat voice.

I just nodded, thanking Reed that way.

"You get them out of here," came another voice. I looked over to see Crystal. Behind her was Jesse. "I'll take care of the pup."

Kyle got back onto his feet, phasing into his wolf form.

Crystal laughed. "Oh God, I've waiting to kick your ass Kyle. I've always hated you and your stupid family ever since you became our neighbors." She phased and charged at Kyle, snapping her powerful jaws at his neck.

Reed pulled me to my feet. "Let's go," he said gruffly. He, Jesse, and I all ran off deeper into the forest, leaving Crystal as she dominated over Kyle.

I looked over at Jesse, who was surprisingly keeping up. "How'd you find them?" I asked her.
