Naomi D.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.

51Ford’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

Ford’s pov“What the hell happened? You said you were just here to talk!” Sam shouted at my father-in-law.Storm chuckled as he wiped the blood from his mouth with one hand; the other hand was currently dragging me by the ankle through the woods. “We did talk, and then we fought. He’ll live. It’s fucking fine.”It was not fine.Storm had bested me. And while I wished I could blame my wolf, who remained retreated in my mind, it was not my lack of a wolf that caused me to lose.It appeared Nivia’s commentary on our pack’s fighting was not understated. The Iron River pack truly does know how to train their people.“Is he okay?” Samuel asked as he took a good gander at me.I was not.Storm shrugged, “he might need some help from the pack doctor. I did break his fucking leg. And a few fingers. And his nose, for sure his nose. Oh, maybe his eye socket too, from the looks of it. But that’s it… Right? Oh, his back? Ford, is your back still fine?”I grunted, unable to speak.Callum would heal
The Alpha With a Heart of Stone 49. Story
Ford’s pov “Daddy, when will Nivia be back?” Percival asked during dinner. Samuel was the only one who had an inkling of the true reason for Nivia’s departure as he had seen the damage I had done to my office. Everyone else was told Nivia had left to tend to a family emergency. I did not know how to resolve the matter between us. Her betrayal stung deep. All I could hope for was for her to make a swift return back here so I could repair the damages she had caused us. She needed to answer some of my questions before I would even contemplate forgiving her. Callum’s displeasure came through, yet he spoke no words. He had not spoken to me since my mate left us. “She said she’d take us to the festival.” Ada whined. They had been pestering me about this festival for days. I had tried to cancel it, yet Samuel insisted that it would damage my relationship further if I did. Not just with Nivia, but with the pack, for she alone had not made the preparations for this Solstice fe

Nivia’s pov“Do you want to talk about it?” They were all looking at me like I grew an extra head.“No… Yes?” I sighed, “No. Um... I don’t know.”“Niv….”“Uncle Brax…,” I replied, mimicking the way he had just said my name.“You know it’s better to talk about it than to hold it in.” Uncle Airk said.“If you don’t want any advice, we can just listen,” Aunt Elora added.“Or we kick the guy’s ass. Storm didn’t like the fucking guy, and he’s a great judge of character. I’d say we go over there and show them you don’t mess with the Omari’s.” My uncle Argo growled.“Pretty boy, calm down.” Aunt Mila told her mate. “You’re overwhelming the poor girl.”I growled at my aunt, even though she was trying to help. “I am not a girl.”“Okay…..” Uncle Brax laughed, “Maybe it’s too soon.”I sighed as I looked at Mila. “I’m sorry. It’s just that Ford kept calling me a child, so it’s a sensitive subject.”“I’m going to fucking kill, -“ Mila stopped her mate by kissing him.I looked around to see Mila and
The Alpha With a Heart of Stone 47. Anger
Ford’s povSleep felt like an impossible task after the fight we just had.My mind could not come to terms with what just occurred.Had I not been a good mate to Nivia? Had she not enjoyed her stay here?To claim I did not like her… I did not know her. It was preposterous.We converse daily; we spent every meal together and every night. I have opened up to her more than to anyone.I even admit she calmed me on several occasions; I have shared this with her.Is that not enough?‘She loves you…’Callum, my wolf said. At first, he was angry with me, but the anger turned into sadness, which I did not recognise. I do not feel sadness. All I felt was anger and frustration.‘You will feel sadness…’I ignored my wolf as I stared at the ceiling, repeating our conversation over and over again.Tomorrow she would be calmer. Tomorrow we will forget this ever happening and focus on our future.If she does love me, she will want to stay. She loves the children; she loves me. Why leave?For a future

Nivia’s pov“You’re okay, sweetie. It’s going to be okay.” I told Percy while I held him.Madeline came into the room, “alpha, -““If you don’t get the hell out of this room right now, I will end you, so help me Goddess…” I told her this while covering Percy’s ears with my hand.Madeline quickly closed the door behind her, fear written on her face.“I’m sorry,” Percy said, looking up at me, his face wet with tears.“For what, sweetie? You did nothing wrong.”“I was so mean to you…” Percy replied before he began to sob.I held him, my hand caressing his back as I let him cry. “I love you, Percy. It’s going to be okay.” I kept telling him.Once he was a bit more calm, I decided it was time for me to talk to him instead of letting his father handle it.“I think we should talk about why you were mean to me.” I told Percy.“I’m sorry, I, -“I shook my head and smiled at the sweet boy in my arms, “no, Perce. I don’t want an apology, sweetie. I just want to talk.” I sighed while considering t

Ford’s pov“I shall not bore you with the details of my day, -“ I tried to say before Nivia interjected.“It’s not boring to me; tell me.”I sighed, not really eager to discuss my day. It had been tiresome to deal with these alpha pups, who had no real knowledge of how to run a pack or settle disputes.They had seen an opportunity for a land grab, and if I had not been here to stop them, they would most likely have waged war on the Wind Wilder pack and taken over. Causing much damage and many casualties.Like many young and eager alphas, they wanted more but had not considered the ramifications of their actions.If they were to take over the Wind Wilder pack, they would also have to deal with their debts. They wouldn’t just gain land and members; they’d gain all the trouble Fletcher had caused.“I have settled the disputes and will be heading back soon,” I replied.I had felt keen to hear my mate’s voice. While her many messages would normally bother me, they were a distraction from my

Nivia’s povI woke up half expecting Ford to be here. His scent surrounded me, and I purposefully slept on his side of the bed to feel close to him.I missed my mate.More than I ever would admit to him.He probably felt it, though, if he paid attention to my emotions through the bond, that is. I don’t want to make assumptions about how much or little my mate cares.As I got out of the giant bed and walked to the shower, I thought about all the times we had showered together, even before I got my mark.Cleanliness was a big thing for Ford, but the things we did in this shower were pretty dirty.Would Ford feel it if I touched myself?Would it make him mad or happy?Either one would be kind of fun, but I didn’t want to distract him at work too much. Maybe I’d try to perform my experiment when he’s on the flight back.He might not admit it, but Ford really didn’t want to go back there. I don’t have to be able to feel his emotions to know that.From everything Fletcher told me to the way
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
