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

“Don’t be petulant. If you want a spanking, all you have to do is ask.” There was a flash of the Dom from the night before in his expression, then it was gone. But that combined with the threat of a spanking turned me on. By the way Trey’s nostrils flared, he knew it, too. After a long moment of silence, Trey blew out a breath. “Later. First we need to talk about this.”


“I don’t know what there is to talk about. I stopped being able to shift. I was a shit alpha anyway. I’m weak and useless. They cast me out. I had nowhere to go, so I showed up here, hoping you’d take pity on me.”


Trey’s hand moved so fast I almost didn’t see it, and my hip was stinging from the powerful smack before my brain even registered the movement. I sucked in a hard breath, confused by the feelings suddenly rushing through me. Part of me was ashamed I’d disappointed him, but part of me was turned the fuck on by the hit and the display of dominance from him.
