Ford’s pov

“Seriously, what the hell is going on?” Storm said during breakfast.

“I do not know what you’re referring to,” I sighed, eager for this man to leave.

He turned his attention to the children, “is it always like this? This quiet? Why isn’t anyone talking? And why are you two sitting so far away?”

I chose not to respond to Storm.

“Daddy likes quiet,” Adelaide said.

Storm glared at me, “so you have this dumb rule that you all have to eat together for every meal. Family time, right?”

“Correct.”

“Yet you refuse to even talk to your family, so what’s the point? Do you ever interact with them? I talk more to our prisoners than I’ve seen you speak to your kids.”

I shook my head, already feeling exhausted by his presence. “I do not owe you any answers. And I would prefer you had not discussed these matters with my children present.”

“Okay, you don’t want to answer that question. Let me try another one.” Storm taunted me. “Let’s do a quiz, okay, kids?”

“Yes, Opa!”

“I’ll ask you two

I was in a bad mood yesterday. So no extra update. my son did something thoughtless and it hurt my feelings. he's that age (10) where they start to be egotistical. It's a thankless job meaning a mom. especially to teenagers. He's a senstive kid, but he shuts down easily. A little like ford, I guess, lol. Although he doesn't really get angry. he just gets quiet.

These updates have been great! I’m sorry you had a rough evening with your kiddo. The pre-teen and teen years are definitely not for the faint of heart. You got this momma!

  • The Alpha With a Heart of Stone   away

    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

  • 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.
