Hello!
I'd say that the mood of this excerpt is suspenseful.
First of all, the setting is during the night, and this centers around a man by himself on patrol and hearing footsteps drawing near. Passages like this would usually create a feeling of anticipation for what's going to happen next.
Hope I helped! :3
Defiant means to be in kind of a mood. Meaning that to ignore someone all the time and that’s what the boy was doing to his mother.
