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 povWhile I’m still a bit pissed off at Marley, Ford helped me calm down. With sex mostly, but also just by being kind.It’s hard to stay mad anyway when you’re dealing with everything at once.I don’t know how Mom does it all. Juggle work, kids, and a social life. But now that I think of it, Mom doesn’t really have many friends besides Uncle Riker. But he’s family too, so I’m not sure that counts.I am ashamed to admit it, but I’ve barely been able to see my favorite new baby girl. I haven't spent any time with Sarah or Sam socially. Samira is growing up so fast, and I am missing it. I’m missing everything.I just hope once we get this attack over with, I can find some balance in my life.With the right schedule I’m sure we can… Goddess. I sound like Ford! Schedule… Damn it, he got to me.I laughed to myself, which made Ford look up at me.“Sorry, I was thinking something funny.” I told him.“You are the only person I know who has laughed at their own thoughts more than once a

    Marley’s povNivia isn’t the only one who reached out to Aunt Kat. I did too.My dad is Aunt Kat’s baby brother, so she has a soft spot for us. It might just be out of guilt, because from what I heard growing up, Dad used to be closer to Aeryn than his actual siblings. There’s a big age difference between Dad and Uncle Ash and Aunt Kat. So I get why they didn’t really hang out as much.But it must suck to see how close your siblings are and feel like an outsider. I just happen to know a bit about what that feels like, although my circumstances are different.It's not that I'm not close to my siblings; it's just that I'm more of another parent to some of them. It makes it hard to have a friendship with them.I love how Forest and Nivia are with each other. I've always been jealous of that, because I don't get to just hang out with my younger brothers and sister.And while I love Wren, now that she's moved out, it's not like we ever hang out just the two of us.Anyway, because of all tha

    Nivia’s pov“It feels like we haven’t talked for weeks.”Marley rolled their eyes, “it’s been two days.”“I said it feels like,” I sneered back.“Well, it’s not like you tried talking to me either.” They scoffed.“I’ve been busy!” What the hell is that attitude for?‘Remember you were going to just talk, not fight,’ Gwyn tried to remind me.Marley rolled their eyes again, “yeah, I know… So very busy.”“What’s that supposed to mean?”They shrugged, “it’s just funny… How you claim you’re all attacking this pack for my benefit, to somehow avenge me being kidnapped or something, yet I am not allowed to sit in on any of the meetings you’ve been having.”“I was trying to protect you.” I scoffed.“Oh, well, thank you… But no thanks. I don’t need your protection. You’re six months younger than me, remember? Just because you’re a Luna doesn’t mean I suddenly need your protection.”I raised my hands in surrender, “I’ve always protected you!”“Ha! See… And how did you protect me exactly, Niv? By

    I'm currenly in france, in the middle of nowhere. It's really hot and I've spent most of my time in the pool. But because it's the middle of nowhere my internet is pretty crappy. I've also been pretty busy enjoying doing nothing for a bit, so I haven't written much. So updating is difficult. I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

    Marley’s pov“Your family is here,” former Alpha Parker said as he watched guards open the door and tie my hands with rope. At least it wasn’t silver.“And you’re taking me to them? How nice.” I joked. I don’t know why I hate this man this much or why I feel the need to test his patience, but I do.It’s like I instinctively know he’s done something horrible and doesn’t deserve my respect.“Normally for this disobedience I would have whipped you until you passed out.”“Well, lucky me then.” I said with a fake smile.Maybe I pushed the man too far, because he began pulling on my rope too hard, making me stumble, and then he just started dragging while I told him I could walk if he just let me stand on my feet for two damn seconds!But it ended with me in the backseat of Nivia’s car. So it’s all good.Okay, I kind of skipped the part where Maverick marked me on my ass with his knife. And then let me cut him somewhere.Because that part was…um…weird?On my part. Not his.I had the knife in

    Nivia’s pov“What happened? Who hurt you?” I growled as I took a seat next to Marley in the car.I knew I’m a Luna now, and I should talk to those fuckers who took her, but I just wanted to be a good friend in this moment.Uncle Riker was still busy talking to the motherfuckers who kidnapped his child, with Ford by his side.We didn’t want to trade a prisoner for Marley. We knew that meant that Sleepy was more valuable than we even considered.Sleepy’s real name is Stewart, by the way, and Stewart isn’t looking so happy to stand next to the people we just handed him over to, either. He didn’t want to go.But we wanted Marley back, and this was the fastest way.Maybe when we attack this rotten pack, we’ll bring Stewart back with us. If he’s still alive by then.But none of that really mattered; all that mattered was my friend.“So, this was my own handy work.” Marley said with a grin. “Who knew concrete walls were so hard?”“Mar…”“Yeah… I know. But the rest wasn’t that bad. Nothing Noa
