Caleb reached out and grabbed a paper towel, handing it to her with a look that said he was barely holding onto his patience. Sadie took it, wiping her fingers clean of the cookie crumbs, but before she could finish, he snatched it back. He leaned in, roughly wiping a smudge of chocolate from her cheek himself.

“Little wolf,” he murmured, his voice a low vibration. “I’m in charge.”

Sadie snorted, the sound unbidden and defiant, but she didn’t immediately start in. She watched him as he sat down

  • Bound to Reign: A Luna's Exile to Painted Ridge   Chapter 47: Aftercare and Affection

    Sadie’s eyes snapped open, but she didn’t pull away. She couldn't. She was pinned to Caleb’s chest, her bare, stinging backside exposed to the night air.“Yeah, we’re fine,” Caleb called back, his voice thick with Alpha authority. “Just had to take care of something.”Nash paused, his headlights cutting through the darkness. “You sure? You felt like you had to handle it out here?”“Yeah. Someone just got a little reckless with their driving.”“Heat can do that,” Nash grunted, though there was a hint of a smile in his voice. “Surprised y'all even decided to come out.”“Yeah, that might have been poor decision-making on my part,” Caleb admitted, his hand rubbing Sadie’s back in a soothing rhythm. “But we were both getting a little cabin fever.”“And you’re headed back now, right? A few days of frenzy isn't going to cut it. You’re Sovereigns.”Caleb shook his head. “No, you’re right. We’re out of here.”Respectfully, Nash turned his head, looking away into the trees while Caleb helped a

    This felt scary. The air around them shifted, turning heavy and electric as the metallic clink of the buckle finished its song. Sadie felt a new scent bloom in the air—sharp, metallic, and primal. Caleb paused, the belt held loosely in his hand, his head tilting as he caught the change in her pheromones.“What is it?” he asked, his voice low and steady.“I’m scared,” Sadie whispered, her forehead pressing harder into the carpet of the SUV.“What are you scared of?”“I’m scared it’s going to be too much.”Caleb let out a breath, a sound that was almost a purr of approval. “Well. Good girl for being honest.” He stepped closer, his shadow completely enveloping her. “It probably is going to feel like too much. What you did was too much, Sadie. You deserve a very hard punishment. But we’re safe here. Your words still work—they always work. If it becomes truly too much, you say so, and it stops.”He reached down, his hand resting briefly on the small of her back. “I’m not going to sit here

    Sadie felt frozen, but it wasn’t out of fear—it was the sheer, raw emotion vibrating off Caleb. She had never seen him this stripped of his usual smug bravado. He looked at her, and for a split second, he wasn't just her lover or her partner; he was an Alpha who had nearly watched his world collapse on a sharp mountain curve. He seemed to read the paralysis in her limbs. He didn't yell. Instead, he took the lead with a quiet, terrifying focus. He got out of the car, rounded to the passenger side, and opened her door. “Out,” he commanded softly. As she stepped onto the gravel, her legs felt like lead. “Caleb... what’s going to happen now?” “That’s not your concern,” he said, his eyes scanning the road behind them before locking onto hers. “I am the Alpha. I make sure you are safe and taken care of. You don’t worry about the 'how' right now.” “Yes, sir. Thank you. I... I might not agree with how you’re doing this, but I trust you.” Right now, she wasn't sure what all the fuss

    The blue and red lights died down as the officer leaned his elbows on the driver-side window. It was Riley, one of Caleb’s Omegas, and he was wearing a look that was equal parts amused and exasperated. “You guys are so lucky I’m the one who pulled you over,” Riley said, shaking his head. Caleb leaned across the center console, his brow furrowing. “What do you mean, Riley? She didn’t do anything wrong this time. She was barely five over.” “Respectfully, Alpha? You guys smell,” Riley countered bluntly. Sadie felt the heat rush to her face. “I do not!” “Like… you really shouldn’t be out here this deep into your frenzy,” Riley continued, ignoring her protest. “You guys smell like you could bust at any second. If a human cop pulled you over, he wouldn't know why, but he’d be so on edge he’d probably have his hand on his holster the whole time. Go home.” Sadie stared at the steering wheel, her face a shade of bright red that probably matched the taillights. Caleb cleared his thro

    “How are you doing that?” Caleb roared, his thumb slamming nearly through the plastic of the controller. “How the hell did you get so good at this?”Sadie let out a bright, melodic laugh, her eyes glued to the screen as her digital car drifted perfectly around a hairpin turn, leaving Caleb’s vehicle eating a cloud of virtual dust. “Maybe I’m not good, Caleb. Maybe you just suck.”Caleb’s head whipped toward her, a slow, dangerous grin spreading across his face. “Oh, trash talk? I see how it is. You think just because you’ve got a lead on the track, you’re safe?”The banter was light, a stark contrast to the heavy, primal air of the last few days. Sadie felt a strange, heady sense of freedom. She was sitting in the den, completely naked at his command, and the most shocking part was how comfortable she felt. Her internal monologue tried to rebel—you’re a teacher, you’re a professional—but the wolf inside her just purred, content to be exactly where the Alpha told her to be.A sharp, he

    The bedroom was silent except for the frantic, wet sound of the vibrator and Sadie’s ragged breathing. Caleb was a master of frustration. Every time she reached that jagged, white-hot edge of a peak—every time her muscles began to coil for the release—he snatched the device away, leaving her hanging in a void of unspent energy.“I know you hadn't seen anyone, Sadie,” Caleb’s voice was a low, steady anchor in the dark behind her blindfold. “But you definitely have ideas about what you liked. Where did you get them?”“Channeling... your energy,” Sadie gasped, her head thrashing against the post she was tethered to.Caleb didn't buy it. He shifted tactics, ditching the vibration to slowly, agonizingly circle her entrance with his thumb. He was being "nice" now, a soft, coaxing tone that was almost more dangerous than the discipline. He clipped her just a little bit, a tiny spark of sensation that made her whine, her hips bucking in a desperate search for more.“Come on, be my good little

    Every time the SUV hit a minor expansion joint in the highway, Sadie felt a sharp, pulsing reminder of the family restroom. It was a localized, stinging heat that made it impossible to find a comfortable position. She shifted left, then right, trying to put her weight on her thighs, but the denim

    “Why is it so flat?” Sadie complained. She wasn't one to complain but after clearing to Ozarks it got very flat very fast. Her cell had limited coverage and according Caleb who was currently driving while Nash napped, they wouldn't be to Billings until tonight.

    A lesson like that could have made Caleb seem like an incredibly cruel wolf. To some maybe he was, but there were things about being a wolf that Sadie, a young she wolf, needed to learn. Being a Sovereign Luna made those lessons all the more vital. Even as an Alpha, no Sovereign Alpha, Caleb had

    She cast her eyes down and followed him in. The heavy metal door clicked shut, and she heard him throw the deadbolt—a loud, final sound that seemed to echo for an eternity in the small space. Sadie shuffled shyly, her knees knocking together, but the physical urgency was undeniable. Desperate, sh
