The defiant mate by Fennifer Francis

Chapter 1

Jay-la’s POV

She stared at the letter in her hand, her hand was shaking so badly as she looked down at it, it had

been 6 long years since she had fled the Blood Moon Pack and now here she stood looking at an

envelope with her pack’s seal on it.

His seal.

She lifted her eyes from the envelope to the beautiful boy playing with his sisters on the floor of the

living room of her apartment. This is not happening. It can’t be.

They had somehow survived and moved on with their lives, were living peacefully well away from the

pack. She had never returned, just like he’d told her. To this day, she was still somehow a member of

the Blood Moon Pack. By the grace of the goddess Alpha Blaine had never severed her from the pack,

she was still tied to it in some small way.

Her 3 children were playing and rough housing with each other. Jay-la had just gotten home from the

law firm Stanton & Co, where she worked, in the human world, as far away from wolfen society as she

could get. Had stayed away even when she had desperately needed her family, learned to live alone,

how to be strong for her children, made friends in the human world, created a somewhat human family

attachment to help ease her pain and loneliness.

Her son, so handsome and strong willed, filled with determination and courage. Just like his father, had

blonde tussled hair and naturally tanned skin, he was so beautiful and full of life. He looked up at her

with his brilliant green eyes, her eyes, it was the only thing he had gotten from her, everything else was

from his father, a man who hated her.

The girls also had blonde hair and green eyes, she’d let their hair grow long, it was wavy like hers but

not dark brown like hers, their temperament was much softer than her son, he was bigger and stronger

and was their protector at all times, though he was only born 3 minutes earlier, little Nate was a good 2

inches taller than his identical twin sisters Lilly and Rosalie, most people thought he was their older

brother about a year apart and Jay-la did not disillusion them.

She stepped into her kitchen, leaving them to play as they were, her eyes turning to the envelope in her

hand, Kora too, was quiet in her mind, not certain what was about to happen to them or their lives. She

could feel concern ebbing off of Kora, it was filtering down into her too.

She opened the letter and read it:

‘Jay-la Freeman,

You have been officially recalled back to Blood Moon Pack.

You will respond to this letter within 7 days and let it be known the day of your return.

Alpha Nathan – Blood Moon Pack’

How he had found her she did not know, but she was not going back. Taking a match she lit the gas

stove and set the letter and its envelope on fire and watched it burn to ash. Defying him was not

something that she should do, but she could not go back, not ever.

Turning to her mobile phone, Jay-la started looking at listings for a new place to live, she had to move

and quickly.

It took 4 days to find a place that was available right away. It was not close to her office though, she

now had a commute. Jay-la paid out the lease on this current apartment, as she was breaking it, and

moved her and her children as fast as she could, leaving her lovely beach front apartment for one

further in the city, it was larger and the price was the same, it had more room for the kids to play. It had

a door man and night security, so at least she wasn’t about to be surprised or ambushed.

Jay-la moved the children to a new school as well. She had never truly hidden herself, just stayed away

at all cost. Even Kora had to suffer, never truly getting the freedom she so desired, hardly ever got the

chance to run free. Living in this human city took a toll on her. It was like being punished every day for

one tiny crime.

1 mistake to protect her unborn pup’s and they had suffered for it. That suffering had made them both

stronger willed, and no more did they let their heart decide anything, only logic and reality of a situation

weighed in. No wolves were allowed in their world either, not anymore.

Stanton & Co Law Firm had been home to them since passing the Bar Exam. She had Lauren and

Tony, her most trusted human friends, Lauren had delivered her pups, their unexpected arrival during a

lunch meeting with Tony, whose wife had been visiting. She was a Doctor, thank goodness, all 3 of

them had been birthed in his office at the university. She recalled crying after they had come, having no

help to raise them. She told Tony and Lauren she had no family and their father didn’t care, which was Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

true. They had taken pity on her, a 20-year-old with triplets and no family to help her out.

They had been there for her, so much so she now looked at them as her surrogate family, a second

mum and dad, not that she actually called them that.

No one knew what she was, who her children’s father was, those things were still a secret she would

take to her grave, humans had no idea about wolfen society and she was not allowed to let them in on

the knowledge either. Wolfen society law.

The next official letter arrived at her residence 10 days after she moved. A shiver ran through her,

moving had not worked. She returned it to sender, ‘not at this address’ and prayed to the goddess that

would be the end of it.

2 weeks later another letter came. Again she returned it to sender, unopened and with the same

message ‘not at this address’ In the human world this would have been enough for them to get the

message that the person they were looking for did not live at the address they had. Again she prayed

to the goddess that let this be the end of it, she couldn’t go back. She could never return, he had

ordered her as much.
