Nivia’s pov

I haven’t been carried like this since I was a child. Being this close to Ford surrounds me with his scent, but beneath that delicious scent lies something else.

Fear.

Ford is scared of that alpha Fletcher guy, and despite everything, I still can’t seem to stop myself from feeling protective of my mate.

It’s funny, really. He’s so arrogant and sure of himself, so unwilling to compromise, yet he lets the council walk all over him. Will it be the same with Fletcher? Or will I finally see the dangerous side of him I’ve been hearing about?

People fear Ford, and it’s not just because he knows how to insult people well. You don’t get a reputation like he does without earning it.

Even inside his pack, people seem to fear him. Which isn’t a good thing in my opinion.

I scratched his neck without thinking, hoping to take away some of that fear and replace it with comfort.

Since I needed time to find out more about this pack’s finances, I might as well help out Ford while Fletcher vis

  • The Alpha With a Heart of Stone   81. Hurt me

    Marley’s povOkay, this is not good. Not good at all! First of all, I can’t even mindlink anyone from this stupid cell, second of all, my mate is really hot. No, I mean, my mate is really nuts and mean for leaving me in this cell, naked!Stupid guard already tried to grab my boob. I sure hope no one else thinks I'm fair game just because I'm sitting here naked.Honestly, I’m not very experienced. Not like Nivia, though. She was a super virgin before she got with Ford. I did some things. Almost everything, except for the main event.So, the gamma, my mate, who still hasn’t said his name to me, would be my first.No! Why am I thinking of sex?The point I was trying to make was that my pack is a safe place and sexual harassment doesn’t really happen. Yeah, maybe there are a few catcalls, but after Aunt Leia was almost raped, she made sure everyone knew that sexual violence would be punished harshly. Consent is really important in the Iron River pack.So, it kind of shook me when someone

  • The Alpha With a Heart of Stone   80. Peach

    Maverick’s pov She is perfect, absolutely perfect. It’s funny how she rejected any of the pet names I used but would allow me to use sugar. It’s what my ma used to call me. My father hates her southern accent and hated her using words like that even more. So of course my mate wouldn’t mind that term of endearment. It’s how life works, apparently. But I can’t let anyone know this beautiful woman, who looks like she could give me a run for my money in the gym, is my mate. Because my family will destroy her. I wasn’t lying when I said I was following orders. The orders of my brother, the alpha of my pack. In reality, it’s not really his order, because he’s just doing whatever these council people want him to do. Honestly, Brandon is as useless as tits on a bull. But he’s the firstborn. The prodigal son. The one who was actually loved. But don’t get it twisted, I’m hunky-dory. I don’t care about any of it, as long as I can kick some ass from time to time and they leave me alone. I

  • The Alpha With a Heart of Stone   79. They

    Marley’s povIt wasn’t even done on purpose. I just needed to pee. Most of my family went home after the Luna ceremony of Nivia, but I decided to stick around.I stupidly thought Nivia would appreciate it, but I don’t even think she noticed.She sure did notice me walking through the house when she and her mate came back butt naked and covered in mud and grass stains.Not a picture I really wanted to see either, but here we are.“Shit.”Yeah… shit.Nivia looked guilty, and I know I’m supposed to be the better person, but part of me felt satisfied seeing the look on her face.“Hey, I—” I stopped Nivia. “Let’s talk about it later. I don’t want to ruin your night.”“Okay,” Nivia said, before turning to Ford, who stood behind Nivia so I wouldn’t see his junk. “You remember Marley, right? My best friend.”“I apologize; I do not recall us meeting prior to today. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance, albeit I wish it were under different circumstances.”Nivia giggled nervously. “They are

    hi, I'm sorry. we're in Disneyland (paris) for a few days so I won't be able to write much. I'm going to try, but forgot to bring my laptop and typing on my phone isn't that great. thanks for your patience. Will be back Wednesday.

  • 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 w

  • 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
