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

I watched him interact with his pack members and I was always amazed by how kind he was, but remained firm and commanding. I’d never seen it done with such grace and ease. Even though I knew he was a good man—I had, after all, recognized it on that trip here years ago—it was amazing to see.


And he always made a point to ask me about my day and check in on how I was doing before he took me upstairs and put me on my knees.


If I wasn’t careful, I was going to fall in love with him.


When Trey found out I had some background in coding and web design, he asked me to revamp the restaurant’s website. I tried to insist that it had been only a couple of classes in college, and that I was by no means an expert. But he asked me to take a look anyway.


“Just try and see what you can do,” he said in that way that was both question and command. I wanted to please him, so of course I agreed.
