Summer's Alpha

by K. S. Martin

  “I told you to stay at the cave and to guard the women.” I nibble my lip. “You didn’t follow orders Summer.” I realize now that I am in trouble. I saved his life but he’s still mad. “How do you think that makes me look to the rest of the pack?” I shake my head. I didn’t think about that because I was thinking of him. He’s removed his pants now. I can see them drop from the corner of my eye. “Summer?” I look up now. God he is so sexy

  “I’m sorry. I was worried about you. I just wanted to be sure that you were okay.” I look up at him. He’s standing over me now with his hands on his hips.

  “You didn’t believe in me?” My eyebrows knit. I never considered that. I sigh.

  “I wanted to protect you.” I try to keep the whine out of my voice but fail miserably.

  “Take your clothes off.” What? Why? I don’t understand but I stand and strip as quickly as I can because he’s already mad and I don’t need added trouble. Jackson is sitting on the bed now. As soon as my clothes are off, he pulls me across his lap.

  “What are you doing?” I cry as I try to get free.

  “Who is your alpha?” He hisses.

  “You are, but…” A sharp slap resounds across my bottom. “Jackson?” I squeal. “Another smack. “Ouch!” Another. “Damn it Jackson!” I try to get up but his forearm has braced my lower back in place and I can’t get free.

  “When I give you an order what do you do?” I moaned

  “Jackson…” I’m not struggling anymore. “I’m sorry. I was worried, I didn’t think, I wanted to protect you. I won’t do it again…you are my alpha, your word is law.” The spanking stopped and he flipped me onto my back. My butt is sore but other parts of me are awake and happy. Surely, he will smell my arousal and it’s embarrassing. “I’m sorry.” I swallow back the lump in my throat. I can’t believe that this has turned me on. I’m some kind of masochist. I must be. Nobody likes that. Do people like receiving a spanking from their mates? I did, I think.

  “Thank you for saving me.” His eyes are so desperate. “If anything had happened to you Summer… do you understand what that would’ve done to me?” I shake my head. “It would’ve been worse than anything Christian could’ve done to me.” Tears leak from my eyes. “No baby.” He wipes them away with his thumbs. “I love you Summer, I’m glad you were there but at the same time I have to discipline you for not doing what I said. You have to follow orders Summer. If you don’t why would anyone else obey?” I nod and his nose twitches. His eyes are full of mischief and arousal now. They flash amber and I know that he knows. He growls.

  “Okay.” I whisper. Jackson drags me up the bed until my head is on the pillows. He pushes my thighs apart and sinks his face into me. I moan as his tongue pushes into me. He’s tasting me and moaning against my skin. I can’t stand it. The climax is circling my womb viciously the same as his tongue is circling my clitoris. He sucks it gently and I writhe. I can’t help it because I’ve lost control of my body and my mind. I fly apart, like some wild thing, I’ve grabbed his head, and I’m holding it there. Jackson breaks free of my grip and crawls up over me. He thrusts into me and I arch nearly breaking myself in two. I want so much more of him and I scream his name. He pounds into me now and I love the way he makes me feel, so wanton, so free, and ready to fly apart again. A high-pitched keening cry leaves my lips uncontrolled and Jackson roars his release. A million white lights burst behind my eyelids and I’ve wrapped my arms and legs around him, grinding against him, taking what I need from him. I feel Jackson bite me again and I don’t care that it hurts a little. Sometimes wolves bite during sex. I realize then that I’ve bitten him too but where he went for the mating muscle, I’ve bitten his pectoral. I tend the wound hoping the mark isn’t as terrible later as it seems right now. I didn’t even know that I did it. Jeez, if sex gets better than this I don’t know if he’ll live through it. My heart is going to pound its way out of my chest. Jackson is just as winded. His warm humid breath is warming my neck and I caress his head. My fingernails are lightly scratching his scalp. I untangle myself from him and he growls. I don’t think he’s ready to let me go yet. I know that I don’t want him to leave me yet either. I’m still contracting around his shaft and he’s still twitching inside of me. I leave a trail of warm kisses over his shoulder and up the side of his neck. “I love you Jackson and I’m sorry that I disobeyed.” I murmur.

  “If your disobedience turns out like this every time…I’m thinking that it’s not so bad after all.” I giggle. “You…um…”

  “Yes Jackson, your discipline turned me on. Do you think I’m sick? I mean is that weird?” He was shaking his head. “But do normal people like that?”

  “Some do. I’ve never been with someone who likes it but I don’t mind if that’s what you need Sweetheart. I mean you can’t beat the results. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you glow like this and I know how I feel right now.”

  “How? It was good wasn’t it?” He smiled softly.

  “The best.” Jackson yawned and rolled off me and onto his back. He took me with him and pulled the quilt over us. I couldn’t keep my eyes open if I tried right now.

  Jackson wakes me later. I can tell it’s been a few hours because the sun has shifted around to shine in the other windows at the end of the room. I get dressed and wince at my sore bottom but smile at the rest of my sore muscles. We head out to the main part of the house after getting dressed. My dad and eight other men are sitting in my living room drinking coffee, looking serious. All eyes turn toward me when I come into the room.

  “Dad, what gives?” Kelly and Earl are sitting in the back of the room and it looks serious. “Kelly?” She ducks her head and sniffles. “What in the hell is going on?” Jackson puts his arm around me but stays quiet, I think he knows what’s up already. Damn it I hate being the dumbest one in the room and right now, I am.

  “We, the council, have been discussing your actions and your positions as alphas of the East View pack. He closes his eyes and bites the inside of his cheek. I swallow hard but I can’t stop the growl.

  Chapter 12

  No way is my dad going to tell Jackson and me that we have to go home, no way! Kelly has her face buried in her hands now and Earl won’t look at us. This is bad, very bad. The other council members are solemn and like statues except for the occasional coffee sipping. That’s my coffee they are sipping, coffee that I bought with money I saved. They are sipping my savings and they are going to kick me out of the house that I just got? I set my jaw and lift my chin. “So, what did you fine gentlemen come up with Dad?”

  “It’s been said that you attacked an alpha male.” I nodded because there was no sense in trying to avoid it. He already knew that. He was not my dad that I was talking to; he had morphed into a council member. “You nearly killed him and created a situation where he could be killed. Frank was an upstanding member of our community, an alpha responsible for a pack of sixty. That in turn created a situation where another wolf, a wolf never meant to be the alpha took over the Tide Water pack. That created the situation in which that wolf’s pack cast him out and that led him to East View to put a pregnant wolf in danger with many elderly members as well. You’re actions have created havoc Summer Reynolds. What do you have to say for yourself?”

  “I say this,” I snarled and Jackson squeezed my mating muscle calming me down. “I say they weren’t my actions that started all this but it was my actions that finished it. I say that the alpha of your pack started all this by selling off Kelly to Frank in the first place. You knew she was in danger there, we all told you. You knew that he beat her and you knew that I wasn’t going to leave my sister unprotected for long. When she showed up in East View the second time with a black eye and Frank looked at my alpha, my mate with the look of murder in his eyes after he’d just beat up my sister of course I tried to rip his throat out. If anyone else did that to my sister and meant harm to my alpha, I would rip his throat out too. My mate and my siblings are more important to me than any alpha p
osition. I feel that it is every pack member’s job to protect the alpha, just as it is his job to protect us. I was just cleaning up the mess you made.” Dad sucked his teeth and rocked back on his heels. The others were watching us with raised eyebrows.

  “Point made.” Dad nodded and I left out a pent up breath. “Gentlemen?” Dad looked at each of them and they nodded. What did that mean? I glanced at Jackson and he shrugged. “Jackson.” My dad was looking at him now. “You told your mate, the female alpha to stay behind. She didn’t follow orders. What do you say to that?”

  “I say that what orders were given to my mate in confidence and in private are not up for debate. However, we have discussed it and Summer has been punished and rewarded for her actions today.” I bit down hard on my tongue to keep my mouth shut.

  “How was she punished?” Dad asked seriously. Oh, crap. Do not tell him.

  “I spanked her. She admitted her error, swore on her honor that it won’t happen again, and submitted to her alpha.” Jackson never broke eye contact with my dad. I’m glad that no one was looking at me. Jeez Jackson, shut up already.

  “She was rewarded why? And how?” Oh no, I’ll kill him if he says that here in front of everyone. I close my eyes and open them to find Kelly watching me with pink cheeks. I think all of my cheeks are probably the same color right now.

  “She was rewarded for saving her alpha’s life. Christian had me on my back about to rip my throat out and she risked her life to save me. She saved the pack. The how is between us.” I glanced up at him with my face on fire and sent up a silent prayer of thanks that he didn’t spill.

  “The council wants to know the details.” I stared hard at my dad. He cocked an eyebrow at us. I swallowed hard.

  “We mated again.” Jackson pulled his tee shirt up and showed them the mark on his pectoral. The council nodded. Dad looked at each of them who nodded again. The littlest and I suspect the oldest of the group winked wickedly at me. I stifled a giggle. He had to be the cutest fellow I’d ever seen. I wanted to sit in his lap and hug him like my grandpa.

  “The council has decided that everything that occurred was justified. The council recognizes your actions, all of them Summer as justified and accepts your apology and your submission to Jackson as your alpha. The council has decided that you may remain as the alphas as the East View pack as long as the pack will have you. Kelly may stay and may remain mated to Earl too.” I make a face at that. “You weren’t authorized to make that call until your alpha position was confirmed. Kelly didn’t understand that clause since her mate was already an alpha when she mated him, but the union is acceptable to her former alpha and legal guardian.” Kelly was clapping and bouncing in her seat while Earl was trying desperately to settle her. He was nervous about the pregnancy. I couldn’t blame him because I was too. Jackson was wrapping me in his arms and kissing me now. I think I’m still in shock but I let him. My dad heads out to the front porch followed by the council. They file out, a long line of serious but powerful old men. I hear my dad speaking and go to the window. Every member of our pack is standing in the front yard. When my dad finishes there is a cheer and a round of applause. Jackson pulls me out the door and they clap and whoop at us. Jackson steps to the head of the stairs and speaks to them about the future, about getting down to business and about rebuilding the pack. He tells them that we are having a potluck picnic in two days to celebrate, another round of applause. Shirley comes out of the crowd as Jackson goes down the steps to shake hands and to speak to individuals. She comes up the steps and wraps me in the warmest hug ever.

  “I’m so proud of you Summer! You couldn’t have done better with a script. Your dad is proud of you too. You and Jackson have really made an impression on the council and on your father. Most young wolves would’ve made run for it. You two stood up for the pack, for each other and up to danger. You are two very courageous wolves, congratulations my dear.” I smile and let her hug me again. Kelly grabs me next and kisses my cheek. Dad is the last hug of the afternoon. He doesn’t say anything he just holds me tightly and smiles down at me proudly.

  Everything that I have done or experienced in my life has led to this moment in time. I’ve learned two things. Trust my heart and trust my instincts. They got me this far and this is a great place to be. I look over at the sexiest man that ever walked. He smiles at me and gives me the look that says when this is over, I am all his. That’s all that I ever wanted to be, all his.
