That is because that is what you are asking make to do.  Your files_cpp, the 
result of your wildcard call, is the list of cpp files in the current 
directory, and that is what you are asking to compile.  

Also, the search for prerequisites, always by default begins with your current 
directory, and only after, if the file is not found, goes to VPATH.

CPP = g++ -g -Wall
VPATH = /home/CPractice/Repository

files_hpp = $(wildcard *.h)
files_cpp = $(wildcard *.cpp)

main: volcalc.exe

volcalc.exe: $(files_cpp) $(files_hpp)
        $(CPP) $(files_cpp) -o volcalc.exe
clean:
        @rm -f volcalc.exe
