The defiant mate by Fennifer Francis novel Chapter 21

Jay-ła POV

Nate woke her, her eyes opened and she was staring right at his face. It was barely an inch from hers, his big bright green eyes held a question in them, he was worried about something she could sense it. See it actually, it was written all over his beautiful face.

“What’s wrong baby?” she asked and then yanked him into. the bed for a cuddle.

“You didn’t come home,…on time.

“Long night, is all. l am fine. she hugged him reassuringly, not that she actually felt it.

“Suzzy just left.”

“Okay. How about we just get away for the day…go to the beach. Winter is almost here. It might be our last chance to get there for awhile.” She really did just want to forget everything that happened last night, even if it was just for a few hours, could they just be a normal happy family unit fora few measly hours, she knew the kids could be, but could she? She didn’t know, but would definitely try.

“Yay.” he practically screamed in excitement and started to struggle to get up and out of her arms “I’ll tell the girls.”

Jay-la let him get outof her arms, she sat herself up. Her eyes burned with not enough sleep, she really did need this.

Last night had drained both her and Kora completely. Kora was still settled in the back of her mind, she would not wake her.

Poor wolf had been through so much in just a short amount of time.

Jay-la had never felt so much fury come from her wolf as she did last night. Pure instinctual rage and aggression, the primal need to fight for her pups had completely taken over her and nothing, not even an Alpha wolf, was going to take her away from her pups.

If there had been an actual fight last night, Jay-la knew that Kora would have been fighting with everything she had, with every ounce of goddess-gifted strength and aggression she had been gifted with. Jay-la had always known Kora was a strong, tough wolf, but they had never had the need to use all of her abilities, til now that was.

It would have been a fight to the death. There would have been no stopping her once it started.

She got up out of her bed and yawned, could hear her children yelling and talking to each other all excitedly, getting everything they needed ready for the trip to the beach.

Goddess knew they all needed a good bit of stress relief.
