Chapter 47 – The Alpha’s Defiant Mate Novel

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

Nathan POV

He found the twins had already made a mess in both their rooms, toys were pulled out and strewn about the rooms and both beds had clearly been jumped on. They were currently eating snacks from their snack corner. “ Girls, how about we get you some warm clothes on, go over there and pick something warm out.”

They turned those green eyes on him, smiling up at him “Okay.” they both said at the same time, and run off to Rosalie’s wardrobe to find something to wear. They were so freaking adorable, he was never going to be able to punish them, those darned green eyes would sink him every time. He wondered if this was what his parents felt for Abbey and why they couldn’t punish her. Hmm guess it was a Jay-la chore. He was certain she had disciplined them already. Being a single parent, there was no other choice.

He stood and watched from the doorway as they helped dress each other in warm clothing and came out with big pink puffy jackets with fur around the hoods and long pants with little boots. How was it even possible that they got cuter in the last 5 minutes?

Even Havoc was watching them intently, his tail flicking back and forth happily as he watched them. He would have to get Jay-la’s permission to let Havoc out to meet them, though his wolf had never been so happy in all his life, clearly having Kora as a Mate was good for him, not to mention they had gone from being alone to having a Mate and children, three of them, instant family.

He headed out of the room and the twins went running into Nate’s room.

He was in there putting shoes on, Jay-la was sitting on the edge of the bed watching him, she was holding a black jacket for him to put on, the twins ran right up to her talking a mile a minute about their rooms, how there were fairy and unicorn toys and dolls to play with, how everything was all pink purple and sparkly, they climbed up on Nate’s bed and were already jumping on it. But then they complained that his bed was bigger than either of theirs.

Which it was, an Alpha male would need a bigger bed than an Alpha female and he had thought about this. Nate’s room was sporting a queen-sized bed where both the girls only had single beds,

‘that’s not why you did it.’ Havoc piped up and chortled at hime

‘I don’t want boys in my girls’ rooms.’ Nathan muttered. He knew it too, but was trying to convince himself he wasn’t going to be the overprotecting father figure.

‘Yes you will.’ Havoc chortled again ‘I will be.’

“Jay-la, what are your and the children’s plans for the day?”

“Not much. Find them warm clothes, maybe find Rae-Rae and hang out.”

“How’d you know Rae-Rae is here?” he questioned. He had yet to tell her that.

The smirk that crossed her face, practically melted his heart. She was looking directly at him with full-blown amusement in her eyes. If the children weren’t in this room, he would be on her so fast she wouldn’t know what hit her.

“I watched you all arrive home last night, Kora and I were hiding a snow drift.” she nearly laughed and he loved it, hell he didn’t care she’d escaped from him. Right this minute, just seeing her that happy, even at his expense, made him happy.

‘told you I smelled Kora.’ Havoc muttered at him

‘ Sorry buddy next time I’ll listen.’ he promised.

“Havoc nearly looked right at us, but I’m guessing you thought I was still…in the Luna Suite and didn’t listen to him, or convinced him we weren’t out there.” she was chuckling and he could hear Kora along with her. They were both amused that they had gotten away and hidden from him. He did note the hesitation.

She obviously didn’t want their children to think he had locked her up, put everyone above herself he thought, even his reputation, didn’t want to make him look bad in their children’s eyes. She really was to good for him.

“Was a great shock indeed.” he nodded, then shot through the mind-link ‘you ever climb 5-storeys down the drain pipe again and I will put you across my knee and let Havoc spank the hell out of you.’ his tone was firm but still playful.

Havoc pushed his way to the surface right there in front of her and the children. “I’ll spank you good and proper.” he growled playfully at her.

Jay-la raised an eyebrow in response but he heard Kora chortle softly.

All of the children were staring at him now. This was unexpected and they had no context for his sudden comment either. Nathan had been going to wait a few days. Havoc turned his eyes on them one at a time to really look at his children, Jay-la was watching from her seat, he could see Kora on the surface now to, they didn’t seem afraid of him just watching.

The twins had stopped jumping up and down on the bed and were looking at him with interest, probably the first time seeing a wolf other than Kora.

Nate stood up from tying his shoe and stepped over to the bed, climbed up and stood right in front of the twins.

Their protector as always. Not that Havoc would ever hurt them. He was just finally getting to see his pups for the first time. “Mine.” he growled softly, and then retreated.

“sorry.” Nathan apologised, “thought we were going to wait for that a few days. I guess Havoc changed his mind. I hope he didn’t frighten you?” he directed at the children.

They all just shook their heads.

He was more than relieved that they weren’t afraid of his wolf.

“I’m starving. Let’s go eat.” he said, heading for the door.

As they all walked out, Lilly piped up “Daddy, where is mummy’s room? We all got one, did mummy?”

Nathan’s heart skipped a beat and he was hard pressed to keep the happy howl from Havoc inside of him. As he turned and looked down at his very expected daughter who had just called him Daddy for the first time, he could not, however, stop the moisture filling his eyes at the joy of hearing just that one word, ‘daddy’. He blinked rapidly and tried to push the tears of joy about to spill down his face.

“ Um, yes she does”. He cleared his throat and looked right at Jay-la, she was staring at him now, appeared shocked by his reaction to their daughter’s words. He tried to shake it off, but he was too darn happy. “ She can stay with me, in the master bedroom. Or if that doesn’t suit her yet, in one of the other rooms down the hall from you.”

Her shock was gone and turned to a deep frown, “I never said we would be staying in there.” he watched as three sets of eyes turned on her questioningly, even Nate it seemed, was expecting to stay in his room, seeing as he had one.

“ We can discuss it later.” Nathan nodded, “ Let’s just go eat. Jay-la, you and I will have to sit down and really talk later, perhaps over dinner? Just the two of us.”

“And just where would my children be?”

“Our children can be with either one of our parents or both of them if you like.”

“Fine. I want some answers, anyway.”
