Chapter 32 – The Alpha’s Defiant Mate Novel

Filed to story: The Alpha’s Defiant Mate Novel >>

Jay-la POV

Kora had Abbey pinned up against the Beta hallway wall with one hand around her throat, not trying to strangle her, just keep her in place for her beating, she would suffer as many wounds that she had inflicted upon their mother. Kora slashed again, tearing through the skin on her chest. The wounds were not deep enough to cause permanent injury but enough for her to know her lesson.

She could see tears welling up in Abbey’s eyes, fear was pouring out of the girl, and well it should be. ‘Please, I’m sorry.’ she begged.

Jay-la and Kora didn’t care, their pain and anger over their mothers current state was all they could feel ‘You’ll pay’. Kora and Jay-la snarled at her in union, allowing Abbey to know that she and her wolf were both of the same mind, and in-sync.

“I’m pregnant.’ Abbey screamed out “please don’t.”

Kora halted the savage blow they were about to land across the girls abdomen. Her breathing was heavy and fast, they could not hurt an unborn child, they too were a mother.

Before she could react to the news and back away she was violently slammed into the ground and Kora reacted on instinct and shifted completely to her massive wolf form and retaliated without much thought, biting down on the man who had attacked her. It was Johnny, he’d gotten up and had come to the aid of his injured mate. His grey and black wolf burst out of him in response and turned to attack her back. His wolf was noticeably smaller than Kora, but was raged and needed to protect his mate.

Kora shot towards him with her front paws all claws out. She shoved his wolf down without much effort at all and tore into his side with her teeth, yanking a large chunk of flesh off of his wolf who howled in pain, a large aggressive growl came from down the hall, gaining Kora’s attention. It was threatening her, it was Apollo in all his grey and white glory and he was not alone. Rafe a large reddish-brown wolf, and Thorn, a black and grey wolf, the smallest of the trio, were right there next to him, all of them stalking towards her coming down the hallway.

Johnny had shifted back to his human form, his injury appeared quite severe. He was bleeding heavily from his rib cage area, he was holding on to his wound as he moved towards Abbey, his Mate.

Kora’s eyes moved to him, he was watching her and stilled instantly when she snarled at him.

‘Jay-la, call her off.’ Jackson pushed through the mind-link using his Beta tone. She knew he was talking about Kora.

‘It was Abbey who attacked my mother, not a rogue.’ she grated out angrily ‘Kora could smell it, smell Abbey in mum’s wounds.’

‘ Okay’ he acknowledged, though his wolf and the others were still stalking down the hallway towards her ‘unless you and Kora want to take us all on, you need to stop her.’

‘Can’t she is very angry.’ Jay-la shot back at him So am I.’

‘Calm down Jay-la…Honey.’ Stephen’s voice purred through the mind-link with that southern drawl that showed he was using his Gamma Charm on her. She and Kora watched him step over Johnny and then shift to his human form. His hands were out in a gesture of peace, he hunkered himself down right in front of Kora, and spoke softly to them ‘Kora sweetie, calm down. Give Jay-la back control please.’

Both she and Kora could feel his Gamma Charm washing over them in full force. Kora backed up a step and then two more. Stephen came forward ‘Come on Kora sweetie, listen to me…you know you want to…calm down, let go.’

Kora bowed her head and started to lay down, the effect of his goddess given gift making her submit to him, having the desired effect on her wolf, calming her down and ridding her of her rage ‘shift back now.’ He told her once she was all the way down and wanting to comply with his every word.

She shifted back, leaving Jay-la lying naked on the floor in the middle of the hallway. She watched as both Jackson and Ethan also shifted back. Ethan moved off to help Johnny up and assisted him into his room along with Abbey.

The minute Abbey moved from the wall, a growl ripped out of her in response to the woman being moved away from them and the punishment she so deserved.

‘Kora sweetie…relax, we can talk about it later, just stay calm’

Kora was calm on the outside, obeying his every word, but on the inside she was still being fuelled by Jay-la’s anger, they were a boiling pot of rage on the inside. This was not over, not by a long shot. For the moment, they were under the Gamma’s control, but he’d have to let it go sooner or later.

Jackson disappeared through a door and came back with clothes. He’d already pulled on his pants, tossed a pair to Stephen and was moving towards her with a shirt in his hand. He held it out to her “ Come on Jay-la, put this on and let’s talk rationally about what happened.”

‘rationally’ she thought, the whole damned Alpha family was out to get her, first the Alpha himself, then his brother and now his sister. What the hell is rational about that?

‘ What’s rational about that?’ Kora huffed ‘take the shirt, we’ll finish this later.’ they could not however, Stephen had yet to release them. It took him a minute before he realised he was still forcing her to submit, and released her from his aura. Jay-la reached out and took the shirt and pulled it on before standing up to stare at them.

Stephen sighed “Okay, let’s all stay calm and go downstairs.” he motioned for them all to move down the hall.

Jay-la, however did not move, his Charm had lifted and her anger was filling her and pouring out of her again. This whole pack was starting to feel rotten, she could not let her babies grow up here, become like all of the alpha’s in this family, angry and resentful. She watched as Stephen and Ethan moved to go down the hallway.

Jackson, on the other hand, had yet to move at all, not a single inch, he appeared tense as he stood less than an arms length away, his body was completely still, his eyes directly on her. He was not fooled at all.

Jay-la snapped the palm of her hand out and directly into his solar plexus. There was a sharp intake of breath from him but he managed to dodge out of the way of the round house kick that came his way. She was crashed to the floor by Ethan as her foot landed on the ground, and instantly started to fight him, punched and kicked at him, fighting like she had been trained all her life to do, with everything she had, he was mostly defending and redirecting her attacks, not really trying to hit her back, just subdue her she thought. It took the three of them to force her over and onto her stomach so that they could pin her down and hold her down.

“Stephen, for the love of the Goddess get control of her, Jackson snapped.

Jay-la was screaming at them to get off of her, but they would not, they did not think she would calm down and they were right not to. Stephen appeared right in front of her, his Gamma Charm flowing out of him and directly onto her. “Jay-la…honey calm down…listen to me…stop fighting.’ he was throwing everything at her and wouldn’t let up until she was lying there with tears brimming in her eyes, how she hated his Gamma Charm, one day she would make herself strong enough not to listen to it.

She was picked up off the floor by both Jackson and Ethan and, with Stephen still using his Gamma Charm, she was marched up the stairs to the Alpha’s floor and force-ably put into the Luna Suite. They let go of her, but not Stephen. He was still using his gift to get her to comply and go inside and stay there. Everyone left the room but her. The door was locked behind them and Stephen finally released her from his gift.

She staggered a little as she was released from his aura and Jay-la, with Kora’s strength attacked the door to the suite, trying to get it open. It was locked from the other side, she kicked and punched it, lashing out with all they had. Trying to force it open.

“It’s reinforced Jay-la, you’re not getting out of there unless I or the Alpha let you out, so just calm down. I am not opening it while you’re so angry.” he shot at her through the mind-link. He sounded angry and annoyed with her.

“Let me out.” she screamed right back at him through the link he had established, her fight renewed at the thought of the Alpha coming for her while she was locked in here.

“No.” he stated firmly “The Alpha will be here soon, he can deal with that temper of yours.”

Jay-la stepped away from the door, backed away from it, she had to find away out of this room, before he came for her. Her punishment would be even worse now. She had just attacked his pregnant sister, and though she had not originally known the woman was pregnant, she was and that was something he would never stand for. None of them would, this was bad.

‘We’ll go out fighting Jay-la.’ Kora huffed, also annoyed that they were trapped in this room.

‘We just need to stop him from coming in, to have a chance to get away.’ Jay-la turned and looked around the room, then started moving furniture. She used Kora’s strength to pick up and throw a chair at the door, then a table, and then the small couch. Making as much noise as she could to make it like she was throwing a tantrum.

“it’s not use Jay-la, the door will not budge.” Jackson sighed at her through the link.

Jay-la put every bit of furniture she could move up against that door. It opened inward, good luck getting it open now, she thought. Then she walked from room to room, trying to find away out, in the bedroom was the balcony, she pushed on the handles and the doors swung open, snow swirled around her instantly.
