Alphas aren't made to submit. Raised in a conservative clan, Asher Grant has done everything he could to be a good alpha. A good son. But denying his needs has made him weak, and he's lost touch with his bear. No longer able to shift, his clan rejects him instead of helping. Desperate, there's only one place Asher can turn. Trey Carver leads his pack with a firm but gentle hand. Under his guidance, his wolves have flourished. Asher knows he won't be welcome among the wolves, but Trey has something he needs. Asking for it isn't easy. Accepting it when it's offered is even harder. As Trey teaches Asher the beauty of dominance and submission, Asher begins to heal. Accepting his true self has a power all its own. When Trey makes the ultimate offer, Asher feels honor bound to deny it. Can a wolf convince a bear that they are meant to be?

Accepting Submission

Duncan left a moment later, but I remained where I was. It took all my strength and will to get up, pad into the bathroom, empty my bladder, and brush my teeth. When I was finished, I was even more drained. I couldn’t even contemplate a shower, even if my brain told me it would feel good. So I went back to the guest room, pulled off my clothes, and crawled into bed.


The sheets were soft, and the mattress like heaven. I’d thought I wouldn’t be able to sleep. My brain was sluggish, but it wouldn’t stop. I’d admitted to things I’d never really even allowed myself to think, and certainly never said out loud. And now Trey, powerful alpha of the Carver pack, knew exactly how weak I was.


I was too tired to cry any more. I had no tears left. The only thing to do was sleep.
