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

  • The Alpha With a Heart of Stone   78. Happy

    Nivia’s povThere was a lot to worry about. Walter’s last words were ominous, to say the least, but I didn’t want to focus on that.I didn’t want to think about everything there was to do after this ceremony, after all the changes we’d have to make. Or the ways we’d have to rally the pack behind us.All I wanted was to be here and now. Become the Night Claw’s Luna and a member of their pack.I wanted to be able to mindlink these people. To feel connected to them.Even though I’d miss my family like crazy. It needed to happen. You can’t have both.Well… I can. I am going to be the luna of this pack and then the alpha of the Iron River pack. So maybe I can have both. Just not at the same time.“Do you…” Oh shit, focus.“… accept the role of the Luna of the Night Claw pack and all the responsibilities that come with the title?” Ford asked me.“I do.”“Do you swear to protect this pack from danger, whether it’s from within the pack or out of the pack’s borders?”I nodded, “I swear.”“And

  • The Alpha With a Heart of Stone   77. Luna

    Ford’s pov“I would like to start the festivities by giving thanks to those who deserve it. First and foremost, my mate, your Luna, Nivia Omari. Those who know me are aware I am not fond of public displays of affection or long speeches, yet for my darling mate I am willing to push through.”I heard some giggling in the audience and saw plenty of people surprised by my speech. I hardly gave speeches. We did not have large pack meetings or other occasions where I was forced to make a public speech.I had chosen not to, for years, for in all honesty, I was scared of what people might think or do if they all stood together to face me.Nivia held my hand as I continued, “you have changed me in ways I cannot even describe. You have made me a better man, a better mate, and, dare I say, a better alpha. It is not easy to change a man that is set in his ways, as I was. A man with a heart of stone, whose hardheadedness is only rivalled by his father-in-law.”Ford laughed loudly, “you got that rig

  • The Alpha With a Heart of Stone   76. Silly

    Nivia’s pov“Being aroused by feet was just another defiance, another way I was different from the rest. To me, it felt like proof I did not belong here. Every little tidbit about me that did not compute with what an alpha was supposed to be, I tried to eliminate from my personality.” Ford said as he admired my feet. He pressed a kiss on my big toe, “even,” another kiss on the next toe,” the way,” and one more, “I speak.”“You used to sound different?” I asked. I didn’t think him admiring my body would lead to a conversation about Ford’s past, but I was here for it. As much as I wanted another ride on that Hardick of his, I wanted to get to know more about my mate just as much.“Indeed,” Ford spoke, before taking all my toes into his mouth at once and sucking on them.I moaned as my eyes rolled back. It was kind of hard to have a real conversation, but if this made it easier for Ford to open up about his past, I didn’t mind. I mean, I didn’t mind anyway, because he was touching me and

  • The Alpha With a Heart of Stone   75. Mistakes

    Ford’s povNormally I would have ignored all my emotions, pushing them down so I would not feel the burden of what I had done.Despite Nivia’s kind words, I knew I was at fault. But I was also aware that it was not my sole responsibility.I may have created an environment where the council could do as they wished; however, I was not the one to light the fuse. I did not kill Pearle, but I did fail her.‘This is a chance to learn from your mistakes. To own up to them,’ Callum pointed out.It had been much easier to pretend I was infallible. By claiming an alpha is never wrong or never apologises, it made it easier to not second-guess my decisions. To not doubt my capabilities.But it takes much more strength to admit one's mistakes and to try and better oneself than it does to hold on to the arrogant idea of being perfect.It had been my mistakes with Nivia that had made me look in the mirror and admit I had wronged her as her mate, but it was time to own up to all of my mistakes. My fai

  • The Alpha With a Heart of Stone   74. Task Force

    Nivia’s pov“Where is your mate?” My aunt Kat asked after I gave her a hug.“He has a meeting with the council,” I told her. “But he said we can go ahead and start without him.”“Only you’d rather wait?” She said with a knowing look.I shrugged, “we’re trying to do this as partners.”Sam smiled at me, having heard our short conversation. “So he’s really changed?”I nodded, “I know it might seem sudden, but I think it’s always been there. You know? Just hidden behind a mask of arrogance and indifference.”“And you’re back for good?”I smiled at Sam, “yes. I’m all in.”Aunt Kat sat down at the table in Ford’s office. I wondered if she had used his chair. Would he mind?“So, there was actually something I wanted to discuss with you alone first. I don’t know your mate, and I am not sure how he’ll respond to what I’ll be telling you.”That sounded ominous.“Okay?”She pointed to the chair across from me. “So, I’ve let Sam handle most of the day-to-day stuff, while I took over his tasks. And

    Yesterday my youngest fell and was in a lot of pain. We spent several hours at the hospital and didn't arrive back at 11 at night. He broke his clavicle and will need to wear a sling for 4 weeks. He had a rough night, and so did I. So I won't be updating today.
