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?

“Have fun,” I said, and he let out a happy sounding bark before racing off toward the woods. I watched him until he was gone.

Over the next few days, I ventured out onto pack lands. I didn’t go far, but then again, I didn’t have to. Carver Pack lands was basically its own town. And the shifters that lived there were mostly friendly and welcoming.
