Naomi D.The boys are off for two weeks. like our version of spring break. we're going to Austria saturday and until then it's just me with my sons. We'll probably go to a petting zoo later on, because I'm hoping they have baby goats. I love baby goats!

The Alpha With a Heart of Stone 34. Like me
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?“

Ford’s povEverything seemed to be settled with the Wind Winder pack. Fletcher’s remains have been sent back; they have found a temporary replacement until Fletcher’s son is of age, and they have agreed to my budget proposal.To my surprise they even suggested a new alliance, this one based on mutual respect.I told them I would consider their offer, even if I would rather not have any ties to that part of my life. If it benefits the pack, I might consider it.And if it’s an agreeable option for the Iron River pack. If the Iron River pack says it’s either them or the Wind Winder pack, the choice is clear.This is what I'll be discussing shortly, once my mother-in-law is ready for our meeting.I impatiently waited until she appeared on the screen. I have other business to attend to.‘As has she,’ Callum reminded me. ‘Be nice.’Be nice, I scoffed to myself. I am perfectly pleasant.Alpha Aeryn can ask her daughter just how pleasant I can be.I didn’t mean anything by it; however, my mind

Nivia’s povMaybe it could work somehow?I’d be Ford’s Luna, the type of Luna he wants, and after a while I’ll take over as Alpha for Mom and get to have my shot to be in charge.I just always thought it would be different, you know?We’d run our pack together. Like Mom and Dad and all that came before them.It’s… Ugh… I don’t know if I can be a Luna like Pearle was. I don’t know if I can be a traditional Luna, one who barely is allowed to have an opinion on pack members.I’m trying. I really am.Trying to find a way things could work, because for all his faults, I am falling hard for Ford.We walked the rest of the way in silence, and I hoped maybe we could salvage the rest of the evening. Maybe I could find a way for Ford to understand we weren’t trying to embarrass him but help him.Because it was clear he reacted so strongly because we hurt his pride.I wish I could understand why Ford behaved the way he did. I know his past has shaped him to be the man he is today.If Fletcher tre

Nivia’s povAfter some bullshit chitchat with Mom, Dad, and Forrest, Dad went into super-dad mode.“So what the fuck is up with your face? Because your voice sounds cheery, but your eyes betray you. You’re fucking miserable.”I sighed, “I am not fucking miserable.”“Well, you’re not basking in the motherfucking flow of the mate bond either. You should be fucking all day and being all giddy.”I laughed, “seriously?”Dad shrugged while Mom covered her mouth to hide her laughter, “well, yeah. You’ve seen how mates are when they first meet. They’re all over each other, sucking face all day long, being fucking clingy. Some people just stay in their room for a whole week. And you two… Well, Niv, no offense, but you don’t even act like you like each other.”I sighed, Goddess, this man is exhausting! “We do like each other.”“Prove it.”I scoffed, “seriously? Prove it?

Ford’s povPerhaps the Moon Goddess was not mistaken after all.Nivia’s body felt delightful; I fit perfectly into it as she allowed me to fulfil my fantasies. My defiance did not bother her; they seemed to turn her on almost as much as they did me.I am not one to let my guard down; however, while we had sex, I did not feel that similar need for control.Simply put, I felt free to be myself.Nivia surrendered herself to me, accepting my mark, and although all my previous reasonings for needing my mark on her neck were still valid, there was another reason I had not thought of previously.My mark on my mate’s neck wasn’t simply necessary to the pack, to the council or my legacy. I coveted the opportunity to mark Nivia, to make her mine in every way.I felt the similar sense of urgency Nivia had displayed, and whilst hers was out of jealousy, mine was for another reason.Nivia had not minced words when it came to our relationship. She had made it abundantly clear that the option of rej

Nivia’s povShit, shit, shit....I’m falling so hard for my mate, and it’s fucking terrifying.Remember how I thought having sex with Ford might make me like him more...? Yeah, I was right.But it’s more than just the pleasure he gives me. Although he’s really good at that part. My goddess, he’s good.I don’t even care that he takes the lead; I know how important it is for him to be in control. Besides, I’m new to all this. So I don’t mind just letting go and following his lead. It’s nice to be surprised by whatever he decides next; each position feels better than the one before.But beyond the pleasure, there is something else that I didn’t count on.It’s the way he makes me feel. The way Ford looks at me makes me feel so sexy, so wanted. He doesn’t really say it, but I can see it in his eyes when he’s watching me.Normally there is judgment behind his eyes, but when we’re having sex, he’s not judging me. I’m free to make sounds, to curse, and to make faces without feeling judged.I

Ford’s povI allowed Nivia some leniency. While I normally would prefer to solely focus on work, like her, my mind has wandered off to last night a few times.I plan to spend every night enjoying my mate until she is with child. And even then I will most likely continue.‘So you don’t just want her around for your heir?’ Callum scoffed.While I had led Walter to believe this to be the case, my wolf should know better.I might not feel the same Nivia does; I have grown fond of her and our time spent together.And she has begun to prove her worth in more ways than one.Not only can she satisfy me like no other in the bedroom, but she has also helped take over my beta's tasks with an ease I did not expect of her.‘When you were her age, you were already running a pack and had received training from our former beta. Why would you assume she hadn’t received comparable or superior training to you?’ Callum asked.Her decorum in the beginning and me feeling slighted by her being appointed to

Nivia’s povI wish Ford could just allow himself to have fun. To be silly.Or at least allow me to be silly.Like Grandma Leia and Grandpa Ash. She’s nuts. I mean, in the best way. She’s funny, loud and weird. She has her crazy hair and her tattoos; she swears a lot and is loud and wild.Grandpa Ash is calm and serious, yet he never judges Leia for the way she is. He loves that side of her. You can see the admiration in my grandpa’s eyes every time my grandma does something weird.I love that even now, in their late fifties, they sometimes still act like kids. They’re still young at heart.After everything they’ve been through, their time apart, losing their daughters only to find them much later when they’re all grown up…Same for my other grandma, Eve. She’s so in love with her second chance mate, and while they’re not as crazy or loud as Grandma Leia can be, she laughs and makes jokes. She has fun with her mate.And then my parents… They went through some shit too. Like a lot of sh

The Alpha With a Heart of Stone 43. Elsewhere
Ford’s povNivia did not get a chance to train with me, unfortunately. Or perhaps it was for the best, considering what occurred last time.I did not want my mate to get hurt another time.‘She wouldn’t get hurt; your ego would.’ Callum felt so sure our mate could best us.Alas, I was called away to attend to business elsewhere.Elsewhere just happened to be the one place I vowed never to return to.England and, more specifically, my old pack.The interim alpha swore he needed my assistance in person. Apparently news of Fletcher’s death had reached the ears of nearby packs looking to take over the Wild Winder pack.They needed the presence of an alpha to scare everyone off.And while it did not bother me if some of the pack perished in an attack, there were also innocent members who did not deserve to die or end up with an alpha who might be even worse than Fletcher.There were many reasons to say no, but none I could admit to out loud.So off I went.‘You skipped a few steps…’ Callum

Nivia's povAfter Ford left to train, I planned different ways of telling Ford about waiting to have kids. I could explain how I was only eighteen. Or that I wanted to have some more time with just him.Or maybe it would be nicer if Ada and Percy were a bit older.I knew telling him I was worried about how he'd be with our kid would make him really mad, so I needed to make sure I used a lot of "I feel like" or "I think" phrases. Instead of saying, "I'm scared you'll be a bad dad to our baby."Or tell him I don't agree with the way he's raising the kids he already has.When I did fall asleep, I woke up a few hours later to Ford hugging me tightly deep at night.He’s so sweet in bed. So gentle with me. He kissed my back, “go sleep, darling.”And I went back to sleep being held by my mate.I actually woke up before Ford, and I turned to face him to watch him sleep. I hadn’t done that before because, well, it wasn’t until now that I felt the need to. Maybe because I finally accepted that
