Nivia’s pov

While I sat in the closet like a coward, I thought about the ways Ford had insulted me today. Most of his insults were based on this idea that I was still a child. A child who wasn’t properly raised and who showed him such great big disrespect.

None of it was true; he just needs to remove that stick from his ass.

But… Hiding in here… Running away when I found out he was my mate… Having my mom help…

Those are not the behaviors of an adult. If I want to be taken seriously, I need to start facing my problems.

Hiding in this closet isn’t facing my issues. It doesn’t solve anything.

And if I do come out of here, like an adult, and am able to have a calm conversation, then that means I have won.

‘Real mature…’ Gwyn laughed.

No, but look. He thinks I’m immature and out of control, but if I stay calm and come to a resolution, I will be the better person. I will have risen above and will have acted like a grown-up.

I’m here by myself, and I can’t have Ford think that I’ll just go hi

Thank you for reading so far! I always love hearing your thoughts about the characters. Nivia is strong like her mom, but sadly Ford is nothing like Storm. He does remind me a tiny bit of Osiris, with his rude remarks and lack of social skills. But you know there is always a twist coming ;)

I love your characters and always look forward to the character development. You do an excellent job of taking us from anger to love when it comes to them. In Alpha Ford 's case, I feel pity because he doesn't have a clue what love is. I absolutely love your writing!

    Nivia’s pov Ford barely talked as we drove to the meeting. Only giving me a few instructions on how to behave. “Do not use any foul language.” “Got it.” I replied with a fake smile. “Do not under any circumstances insult me or my role as the alpha of this pack.” “Okay.” Goddess… Who does he think I am? “Do not interrupt or undermine my, -“ “Should I just keep my mouth shut? How about that?” I interjected. I knew it bothered him, but I couldn't help myself. The vein was ticking on his forehead, and he growled, “it sounds sodding perfect.” I got him… Another British curse word came out of his mouth. But I couldn’t really gloat because we arrived at a large, fancy building. “What’s this?” “It’s where the council is housed.” I looked at Ford and then back at the house, “so your packhouse is in shambles, and you don't have the budget to fix it, but this building is seen as a priority?” “Hush…” Ford warned me with a low growl. Fine. Whatever. Let’s get this fucking meeting over

    Ford’s pov‘Say something,’ Callum urged me.I had tried to acknowledge my part in this debacle, but she could not let it rest. Nivia had to keep questioning me, my judgement, and my choices.She’s eighteen years of age, yet she seems to think she knows better than me. The arrogance this woman possesses is beyond me. Not only did she label me a bad father and a flawed alpha, but she also tried to dismiss my efforts in caring for Pearle.Pearle and I were not in love; our relationship was based on mutual respect for each other. Never in her time with me would she dare to critique my choices. However, Pearle would provide suggestions occasionally to better my relationship with my children.Pearle instinctively understood when to speak and when to remain silent, recognising when her presence was beneficial and when it wasn't. Pearle understood my vision for this pack and for my children.As a trained teacher, she was able to homeschool the children and prepare them for the life they were

    Nivia’s povA few more days. I can do this. Just a few more days of laying low. Pretending none of this is bothering me. Just say as little as possible to avoid fights and then get the hell out of this place.I’ll find ways to keep myself busy while I’m here, away from Ford and his stupid, handsome face.Because when I’m near him, I either want to kiss him or kill him, and both of those options aren’t good. At all.‘Hey Niv, just checking in. Or are you busy?’ Dad mindlinked me on the drive back to the packhouse.‘No, I can talk.’He chuckled, ‘so, how’s asswood treating you?‘Fine. It’s fine.’Dad scoffed, ‘so, it’s fucking horrible? Don’t fucking lie; I can hear it in your voice.’I sighed as I stared out the window. I didn’t want to lie, but I would rather not tell Dad how bad it really was, or he’d

  • The Alpha With a Heart of Stone   15. Stepmother

    Ford’s povI studied my mate’s facial expression as she spoke to someone using their mind links. Once Nivia joined my pack and she was marked by me, she would not be able to speak so easily with her family and friends.Using the mind link that our pack shares has never been something I have done for informal reasons. While others might use the mindlink to converse with their mates or family members, I have only employed it to speak directly to my pack or discuss pack business.Occasionally Madeline would discuss matters surrounding the kids with me using this method, or my beta would try to engage in small talk.Nivia seemed to talk daily with her family and friends, either using her phone or the mind link between the Iron River pack’s members.It irked me not to be able to hear what she was discussing, especially since I could clearly see whatever was being said bothered her immensely.“Is everything all right?&rdquo

    Nivia’s pov“Join you?” I replied.“Yes, you mentioned feeling eager to train. Would you like to join me tonight?” He asked. For a moment he sounded insecure, but it was probably just my imagination.“Sure.” I replied. I did really need to blow off some steam.I was still thinking about everything my mom had said. She had asked me for a favor, not realizing what was going on between me and Ford. She had assumed, since I would be staying anyway, that it wouldn’t be difficult to gather some information.I think the only reason Mom seemed conflicted about asking me for help was because it could influence my relationship with Ford. There was a difference between asking some questions and spying on a pack. And although she acted as if it would be as simple as talking to a few people, I knew what they really needed was access to data that was surely hidden.It’s safe to bet that if the council

    Ford’s povHer foot rested between my legs, and I moved myself closer. It was impossible not to touch her— to examine every line and every curve of her feet.I had already mindlinked with the pack doctor, wanting to make sure Nivia’s ankle was not broken.‘You did this.’ Callum growled.'She did this. She could have tapped out.’ I replied.I could feel Nivia relax her leg; her feet were now pressed against an area it really shouldn’t be. There was absolutely no way I could control my cock at this point.All I could hope for was that Nivia would not notice it growing beneath her foot.“A mate’s saliva can speed the healing,” I uttered.“I think that only counts for open wounds,” Nivia replied.“An alpha’s saliva is more potent.” What was I trying to accomplish? Saliva could never heal a broken bone or a sprained ankle. It could, howe

    Nivia’s pov“What bad luck to start your stay at the Night Claw pack like this,” a kind nurse said as she wheeled me out of the room.I laughed, “you don’t know the half of it.”“At least you’re lucky your mate has been so attentive; I’ve never seen our Alpha act like that before. It’s sweet.”“Yeah, it is.” I replied. It was… sweet, but also very out of character.He was hot and cold. How can someone go from being competitive enough to break my ankle to licking the injury he caused? And then carrying me like a baby?If he wasn't such a dick before, that would have made me fall for him. Honestly, the whole knight-in-shining-armor thing was really swoon-worthy. Even though I'm an independent woman and all that, it was pretty nice to be treated like I'm the most precious thing in the world.Did he realize he had given my foot a quick peck when he was do

    Nivia’s povFord crawled into bed with me when the sun was already coming up.At least he had let me know he wouldn’t be home for dinner. By using one of the Omegas instead of calling or texting, but still… He did let me know.Goddess… Okay! I know I’m pulling at straws trying to make it seem like he cares as much as I do.If I want Ford to like me for me, then I should like him for him, right?Nah… Sorry, it won’t happen.I must admit I am starting to find his frowns and scolding expression cute. And I love it when he swallows hard to avoid saying something that isn’t proper. The way his Adam's apple moves is sexy somehow.I also love… LOVE! How he calls me darling.With his accent and the way he speaks in general, it’s fucking hot.I love how gentle he is in bed. Even when he crawls next to me, he puts his arms around me, and it feels like I’m being hugged.And the sex…. Well, not sex, sex, but it’s still sex without penetration, right? Well, the sex is just… WOW!But is it enough?“

    Nivia’s povIt took a lot of restraint not to fight Fletcher when I had the opportunity, but I had to think about the consequences if I did.Not only would it look like Ford needs my help fighting his battles, but it would also mean that I’d be in control of the Wind Winder pack.Whoever kills the alpha becomes the alpha.I have no clue what Ford will do with the pack, and while I would love to discuss it with him, I am pretty sure he doesn’t want my opinion on the matter.Besides, I’m too busy licking every inch of his body. I mean, his wounds.Of course we took a shower first. Ford’s face was covered in Fletcher’s blood, and his body was covered in Goddess knows what.Dirt, his blood, Fletcher's blood, fur, pieces of skin?Although it was kind of gross, watching them fight was pretty cool.I had helped clean his back, which means we were both just wearing towels at the moment. I could have gotten dressed, but I figured it was time sensitive to tend to his wounds.‘Sure….’ Gwyn teased

    Ford’s pov “Agreed.” ‘Agreed?!’ Callum growled inside my head. ‘Are you mental?’ ‘She almost lost the alliance between our packs,’ I replied calmly. Callum was beyond angry; I could feel his outrage through our connection. ‘She called you her family. She defended you!’ ‘I am an adult. Her senior. I do not require or desire her protection.’ I growled back. Fletcher smirked at me, “You should take your pink-haired Luna home. We’ll be able to help you, yeah? We'll show her how a Luna should conduct herself.” “That won’t be necessary.” I replied curtly. “Nah, it would be great, Rutherford. You can show her your mother’s resting place while you’re at it.” I swallowed down the bile in my throat, “thank you for the suggestion.” Fletcher’s eyes flashed as they used to do when he was eager to beat me. “After you left, things actually improved for the old cow. See, when there wasn’t a constant reminder of the crime she committed, people began to forget. It’s not like she was out and ab

    Nivia’s “Luna Nivia, perhaps you could share how the Iron River pack handles this dilemma.” Old fucker numbero uno asked. What did I name him again? Baldie? They’re all pretty bald. Or balding at least. Not that bald men can’t be handsome. Grandpa Os continues to attract attention from women, and he's already almost seventy. That is one handsome dude, as my dad would say. Focus, Nivia. “I apologize,” I said with a smile. “I hardly slept last night; could you repeat the question?” Ford grumbled, “what stance does the Iron River pack place on the mate bond and chosen mates?” I nodded, “as the daughter of someone who was part of the School, I am keenly aware of the damage focusing solely on genetics has. However, I see a clear distinction between choosing a mate based on love or based on pressure from those in power. We trust in the Moon Goddess’s decisions to give us the chance to reject our mate if we choose to. It’s not a decision anyone makes lightly, and we consider it a pers

    Ford’s povGoddess, did I need this.I had been craving Nivia’s scent, her touch, but I had no conception of what she’d actually taste like or what her moans of pleasure would sound like.I dived into her core, giving up all restraint or decorum.I needed this and so much more.‘Are you sure it’s not because of what Fletcher said?’ Callum tried.Of course he would find a way to ruin this.I walked us to the bed, placing Nivia down gently as I kept sucking and licking her. Goddess, did she look ravishing in her little outfit.But it was for my eyes only.Fletcher should have never seen it.Nivia is mine.I inserted a finger before trying to add another. Nivia squirmed, a clear indicator she did not desire a second digit.She was tight.“Fucking hell,” She moaned as I flicked my tongue against her clit.“Language, darling…” I teased her before going back in.“Oh, Goddess, Goddess, Ford… O, my…” Nivia moaned, “I’m… Ford…. Please… I’m going to, aaaaaah.” And she began to shudder against my

    Nivia's pov By the time I had put my dress, shoes, and makeup on, Ford was finished as well. He helped zip my dress up, and off to dinner we went. I sat down next to Ford, and Fletcher took the seat beside me. He grabbed a piece of my hair and spun it around his finger, “I did not picture Ruthie with such a young and bold mate.” “Opposites attract,” I replied, “right, Ford?” “Yes, darling.” Ford replied. “So, tell me the story of how you two met.” Fletcher said as he began eating. I looked at Ford, who softly sighed, “we met at a party at the Iron River pack.” “What a way with words, right?” Fletcher took a sip of his drink. He moved my hair to the side, and I wanted to break his hand for touching me. Ford growled lowly, but didn’t say anything, so I kept calm. “No mark yet, huh? Is it those little baseborns that are holding you back, love?” I swallowed as I counted to ten and joked, “no, I like those kids more than I like Ford.” “Where are those little bastards anyway?

    Nivia’s povIf I thought Ford was tightly wound before, I don’t know what you’d call the Ford that’s standing next to me right now.“Breathe,” I whispered to him as Fletcher’s car drove toward us.When that didn’t help, I grabbed his hand.Look, I might not be a fan of Ford most of the time, and I’m still pretty sure rejection is best for us, but he is still my mate, and I’m the only one allowed to hate him.‘That makes no sense...’I ignored Gwyn; it made perfect sense.Ford and I had said our goodbyes to the kids this morning, and he had been pacing the house ever since, checking every room to see if there was something wrong.He was looking for something to put his frustration into, someone he could blame or lash out at.I thought about getting into a fight with him just to get him to release some of this frustration, but I was too busy fighting with my dad instead.Ugh.Dad and I mind-linked every day, but I guess it wasn’t enough.‘Now cut the bullshit; how are you?’‘What do you

  • The Alpha With a Heart of Stone   28. Science

    Nivia’s pov My curiosity got the best of me. First, by asking the question that had been on my mind for a while now, and then by pressing my feet against his crotch. Ford never actually admitted he had a foot fetish, so I wanted to test my theory. It was just science, basically, and once his dick grew underneath my feet, I had my answer and stopped. ‘Sure… Science….’ Gwyn teased. If things were different, I might have continued. I don’t mind the idea of Ford having a foot fetish. I mean, I’m not that familiar with sex, but I’m willing to try whatever. The idea of him touching my feet or licking them is kind of hot, actually. As long as I don’t need to touch his. would spend a lot of time on my feet during my shower, so I might have done some research online, seeing what it actually meant to incorporate feet into one’s sex life. For research purposes, of course. After the tantrum Ford threw after I went to the doctor, it wasn’t really something I considered. I mean, I’m n

    Ford’s pov Bullocks! I am not an emotional man. I try to make every decision based on logic and rules. A tight schedule, routine, and order are what I need in life. Even when I have taken a life, I have done so because there was a valid reason for it. When someone insults their alpha, they sow doubt in the minds of the other pack members. It’s for my benefit and for the benefit of the pack if some people are no longer alive. ‘But you enjoy it…’ Callum said. There is a side of me that revels in the carnage and violence. I have a temper that I can usually control. Yet since meeting Nivia, my control had begun to waver. My decorum, my self-control – it feels as if she’s pulled at a loose thread, and it can all unravel if I don’t keep a close leash on myself. Yet when I found out Nivia went to the doctor behind my back, I could not curb my frustration. It feels unfair to take something from me that mattered. I've become accustomed to our daily shower routine. You cannot alter this
