The defiant mate by Fennifer Francis novel Chapter 25

Nathan POV

Just like that, she was gone. What else could he expect? After Micheal beat up both her doorman and a security guard and then went storming up to her apartment and likely kick in her door to get to her.

Nathan was completely furious, his mate was under enough stress, she did not need another pissed-off alpha blooded wolf beating down or kicking in her door and threatening her, not to mention his pups were in that apartment. The stupid bastard had most likely scared them too.

The phone call he had received from his warriors watching her building to let him know that Micheal had gone over there and let his anger loose on her doorman and security guard had completely shocked him. He had thought Micheal would have more sense than that. But it seems not.

They had all piled into the rental car Jackson and Stephen were using, Stephen driving and they were headed to her apartment. He had called Micheal from his own phone, knowing his brother wouldn’t dare to ignore the call, making certain that Micheal knew, Nathan knew exactly where he was and what he was doing.

Micheal knew that Nathan was there. Had he lost his mind completely, going off all angry on the future Luna of their pack, if he hurt her physically, dared to lay a bloody finger on her, Nathan would banish him without a second thought, regardless of his parents’ obvious objection that would come. Banishment would be better than death.

He had roared an alpha order down the damned phone at him, but without Havoc present, he had no idea if the order would actually work on another alpha male. He guessed that depended on just how much his little brother feared and or respected him.

Jackson was trying to call her, to get her to pick up, but she had not done so. No surprise there. Going to her apartment was risky because of the human court orders placed on him. He was in full breach of them but tough, his mate came first. Besides, today might be the day. In less than 40 minutes he could be in her apartment with her, she would know what he was to her. That part excited him.

He wanted to be in her apartment, smell her, hold her, k!ss her, meet his children and hug them too. He wanted to be a family and this could be it.

Micheal had better not have screwed it up.

His men had reported to him that Micheal had left the building and was in a hurry. Nathan was hoping it was due to his order and not because he had done something stupid like hurt her. She had not been with him, so he had not taken her.

Nathan had to make sure she was alright, unharmed. They were about halfway to her place when it was reported to him that she had left with the children in her car in a hurry. None of his warriors had a car with them. They were working in shifts and the team leaving took the car back to the hotel they were staying in.

Only a general direction could be given. As to where she was going, it was anyone’s guess.

He had ordered surveillance of Timothy Bolton’s place and Eric

Stanton’s place in case she went to one of them for help. He was betting on Eric Stanton. After last night she wouldn’t risk Timothy, to Havoc’s rage, which she would have heard loud and clear over the phone.

What she made of it he didn’t know. He wondered if she would tell Eric he was there in the city and have him tracked down and arrested for breaching his court order.

His men had called for paramedics for the two injured men in the lobby. From what they could tell, they were both unconscious but still breathing.

The minute she had left with the children, to goddess only knew where. He had ordered a change of location, heading instead for his parents’ current residence. He knew that was where Micheal was also staying, and Nathan was betting he had run back to their parents for protection from him. Little did he know that was not going to help him right now, nothing was. Micheal was about to get the beating of his life, wolf or no wolf, Nathan was going to beat him senseless for his stupid actions.

Nathan had no idea where his Mate or offspring were. Jackson was still trying to contact her, leaving voice messages for her to call back, but to no avail, she had probably turned off her phone at some point to stop the incessant ringing.

After last night’s phone call from Jackson, Jay-la, he thought was probably expecting him to turn up at some point for his pups.

She believed that was all he wanted, she believed he hated her, and was now more furious because she had kept his pups from him, which was not the case. He didn’t blame her, couldn’t actually, he had been the one to send her away and she had not known of their existence at that time. He wondered if she had thought it was him this morning banging down on her door.

Now with what Micheal had done this morning, Rae-Rae would be lucky if she had a Mate when he was finished with his little brother, Be damned if their Mate Bond was fixed right away, their bond could wait.

They had barely known each other 2 bloody weeks, and she was only 18. They had plenty of time to sort it out after he had sorted out his. The future Luna must always come first.

Rae-Rae was not in any kind of danger, unlike his Mate and pups who were in danger every bloody minute of everyday, that they were out there with other packs trying to steal them from him.

Micheal should have bloody well known this, should have known better. He had been at the restaurant when the sh!t had hit the fan and Kora had gone to fight their father and break their mother. Her distress was obvious.

Yet the stupid i***t went and attacked his Mate. Nathan would not stand for it.

The car pulled up outside and he was out of the car and stalking toward the serviced apartments his parents were living in and had rented for a month, expecting it to be difficult to get Rae-Rae’s family to agree to her moving in with them and half way across the country away from her family, pull her from her university degree and let her get married to a total stranger.

He was pounding on the door furiously, he could just kick it in, but he wanted to in-still fear into his little brother. He was probably doing the exact same thing Micheal had done to Jay-la’s door, he realised. The door opened and his father stood right there. “Calm down son.”

“Where is that son of a b!tch?” he roared, his anger boiling over now that he was here. He let it all out, he didn’t need Havoc to kick his little brother’s ass from here to the moon goddess and back. He spotted him across the room and was off and running at full speed, shoving past his father, not caring if the man was knocked to the ground or not.

His hands were around Micheal’s neck the minute he was close enough to grab onto him, and he was squeezing the life out of him. “I’ll fu*cking kill you, do you know what you did? She’s gone you bastard.” he was screaming in Micheal’s face. He saw Paxton push forward in order to defend his human counterpart.
