Kenzie POV

Today sucked!

Daddy had me and Logan sorting the pack files into alphabetical order by last name. They were sorted by date of birth. So now you can find anyone by their family name then by birthday... I'll admit it's easier to find people that way but there is a hall of records that dates back to the beginning of the pack 130 years ago!

You are welcome, all you people doing ancestry research!

I don't know what dynamic Logan will fall into when he finds his mate but I think he complained more than I did!

Now I'm just ready to slip into my little space and play with my friends like every night before dinner.

"How ya doin' Gills?" I ask as Landon sets Gilly in the living room with me before moving into the dining area with the other doms.

"Good... I don' like gettin' punished though." She pouts.

"Well as long as Floppers doesn't have a family we need to rescue I think you'll be good." I tell her and she smiles.

"Wanna color?" She suggests and I nod pulling out a princess book for her, a dinosaur book for me, and the cars one for when Eddy gets here. Dinos are cool don't judge... plus I think bats are like little pterodactyls!

We are 15 minutes into out pictures before Eddy comes into the house.

"Come on, Eddy! I got Cars for you!" I say.

Eddy looks over and clinches his jaw before looking away and taking a deep breath.

"I'm good Kenzie... Betas don't color." He says before walking into the dining area.

Brenton POV

"Brenton. By let me take care of my mate I didn't mean scold him into tears! I mean to let me handle him!" Kelly growls at me.

"I'm still his Alpha. I need to be able to rely on my Beta. This had nothing to do with punishing a little and everything to do with confronting my Beta." I tell her.

"Well congratulations, Alpha! You got your Beta but I lost my baby boy!" She responds and I pause what I was doing to look at her.

"What?" I ask.

"Eddy refuses to be little. He is obsessed with being a good Beta and thinks the only way to do that is to ignore being little." She explains.

"I thought he was past that." I say.

"He was until he disappointed you... you mean the world to him Brent. He can't handle losing your trust. He can't handle you being disappointed in him." She tells me.

All I can think of is what he told me about Kenzie. How she needed to be punished to feel forgiveness. I can't trust him yet but I'm not angry.

"Do I have permission to deal with Eddy as I see fit?" I ask and Kelly gives me an evil look.

"Haven't you done enough?" She growls.

"I think I can help... do I have your permission?" I ask again.

"If you can give me my boy back than yes." She agrees.

"Evening guys." Landon says as he enters the room. I nod to Kelly before addressing him.

"Hey Landy, how's the little one?" I ask.

"I don't like punishing her. She is just so sweet... ya know she talks to her bunny? Not just playing with it like other Littles I've seen... it's like Floppers is truly her best friend." He says. Now that's adorable.

"I'm kinda glad they got the thing then." I chuckle.

"You punish them to help them. You have to remember that." Kelly adds.

"Thanks guys."

"Hi everyone." Eddy greets walking into the room.

Eddy POV

I spent most of the night running patrols. Most of the day I trained. Walking away from Kenzie was really hard. She helped me be little. Now that I can't be little I don't know how to respond to her.

I fo straight to the dining area knowing I can't stay with the Littles.

"Hi everyone." I greet and all eyes turn to me.

"Eddy, we need to talk. Come on bub." Brenton says. He uses bub when I'm little or he wants me to be. I need to tell him but I know he won't agree.

"Listen Brenton." I say as soon as we are in his office. "I'm gonna be a good Beta. No more little stuff. I'll be reliable, promise."

"Don't even try that, little boy." He tells me.

"You're not getting it. I'm not going to be little any more. I'm not going to submit to you guys in that way. You are my Alpha but I will not be a little and you can't force me to." I respond.

"Oh Eddy, Kelly isn't strong enough to force you to do anything but I am. I care about you bub and part of that care is knowing you need to be little... now here's the deal. I'm going to give you a spanking you won't forget for 1. Abuse of your Beta position 2. Neglecting your own needs and 3. Hurting Kelly. After that you can join the other Littles for the evening and be ready for Beta duties tomorrow morning." He says.

"Y-you can't... you always said you wouldn't spank me because you aren't my dom." I argue.

"I have permission to deal with you. Your mommy may not be able to force you to comply but I can. Now be a good boy and lean over my desk so we can get this over with."

"I'm not doing this Brenton... I'm leaving." I say and try to leave. "Unlock the door." I growl.

"Easy way or hard way bub. That's your only choice here." He says.

"It's not your place!" I yell. "I'm not your little boy! You don't get to spank me!"

"I don't want to... honestly this is the last thing I want to do but I want you to be at your best. I'm not letting you go back to the stressed out man you were a year ago. Now take your punishment so we can go back to normal." He says and I growl.

"No."

"Eddy." I can feel the power in his voice.

"No!"

"Bub."

"Nu uh!"

"Buddy."

"Noooooo!"

"Little boy."

"Don' wanna!"

"Now."

I hang my head as I walk over to him.

Stupid Brent! Stupid Alpha! I don' wanna get spanked by my friend! I don' wanna be little! I don' wanna do this! I don' wanna, I don' wanna!

Kenzie POV

It was a while before Eddy came back. When he did he was being led by my daddy.

"Go play, bub." He says and Eddy comes over.

"Can I still color?" He asks and I nod handing him his book.

He winced a little when he sat down but I didn't say anything. I'm just happy my friend is back.
