Like I said before I take all PMs so don't be nervous about sending me one. Hope you guys like R&R!
When I awoke I was being carried in someone's arms. I looked up and smiled when I saw Jake. "Hey." I whispered sleepily.
"Good you're awake, for a moment there I thought you weren't ever going to wake up." He said.
"What does that mean?" I asked worryingly.
"Don't worry everything's fine; I was just surprised that you slept through the elders bandaging you up." He explained.
What was he talking about? I looked down at my wrist which was throbbing violently, "W-what happened to me?" I asked shakily.
Jacob stopped walking and his look of shock vanished after a moment, before it turned into a glare that caused me to cringe.
"What did I do?" I asked quickly, unaware of why he was so angry with me.
"Selena are you being serious or are you just messing with me, I am really not in the mood for that right now and if you are so help you…"He began.
I cut him off before he could continue the threat, "Honestly Jake I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Sam!" Jacob called spinning around. Sam was beside us as soon as he took another step. The rest of the pack's eyes watched us curiously.
"What's wrong, we have much to discuss Jacob we must keep moving we're almost at the house." Sam explained.
I looked at Sam, "What happened to your neck?" I asked pulling away from Jake and trying to stand.
I stumbled for a second waiting for my vision to return completely as Jake caught me from behind to balance me.
"Okay now I see the problem, but we don't have time, this is just another thing we'll have to discuss." Sam said but I could sense the amount of worry in his eyes double.
"Wait no; we have to talk about this now!" I said frustrated.
Sam grabbed me by my arm and began pulling, triggering the flashback. In which I remembered him throwing me into the dirt.
"Why the hell did you throw me in the dirt?" I asked angrily pulling against him.
I looked down at my wrist again, "Did you do this to me too," I yelled, "You did do this didn't you?"
"Well that has to be a good sign; she should regain the rest of the memory soon," Sam spoke towards Jake, "Selena listen to me, I can explain everything even though hopefully I won't have to but it's late and we have a lot to discuss so the sooner the better, just walk with us voluntarily okay."
I looked back and forth between him and Jake and nodded, "Okay."
When we got to the house Jake led me to the couch speechlessly and sat in a chair seated beside it. He looked at me anxiously.
"You're not doing a very good job at this discussion thing," I told him, "What's wrong, wolf got your tongue?"
"That's not funny Selena." Jake chastised.
"Now he speaks, ugh and of course just to lecture. Come on Jakey it was a little funny."
He just shook his head causing anger to flash through me.
"Fine whatever, be pissed at me all you want but would someone please explain to me what the hell is going on? Apparently I'm the one who's fucked up and you don't see me fucking freaking out, damn it!" I huffed.
Sam intervened, "First off I think you need to at least remember who you are speaking to young lady, since when have we ever allowed you to talk like that to anyone, and secondly maybe you're not, freaking out, as you put it, because you're the one with memory loss."
"We will definitely be discussing this later," He continued," But first I need to know the last full thing you remember."
I nodded, "Yes Sir, I um… there was school today and Seth and I talked afterwards."
They didn't even give me time to mention that I talked to Jake too. I saw Seth go rigid and every one turned to look at him.
Sam glared at him, "Seth what did you do?"
"I didn't tell her anything I swear to it!" Seth said defensively. Leah grabbed his arm tightly making him cringe away, "Someone did now tell the truth Seth."
"Wait he didn't tell me anything about the initiation!" I yelled.
Sam look of concern turned back to me, "Then you remember who did." My eyes flashed towards Jake but luckily no one noticed except Jake.
He looked anxious like he was trying to force himself to speak up.
"Why should we believe her?" Leah snapped. I couldn't let Jake get into that much trouble over me, especially when he was only trying to help.
I thought as hard as I could and my memory returned to me in full force. I was glad I was sitting on a couch and not a stool because it knocked me backwards.
"Selena!" Various people shouted in unison.
"It's okay, I'm fine… I… I remember everything now. It wasn't Seth!" I defended.
"Oh really, then who was it?" Leah inquired still holding a firm grip on Seth's arm.
I saw Jake open his mouth to speak, "I…" I quickly shouted over him, "It was the ancestors, they told…"
Jake cut me off, "No! Hell no! Don't you ever lie about shit like that do you understand me?" His face was fierce and serious and I immediately felt like a naughty little child.
I nodded quickly, "I… I'm sorry… I just…I didn't know what else to do."
"Well I didn't ask you to cover for me!" He yelled.
"Well you would have done the same thing for me!" I argued.
Jake stood up, "That's different and you know it!"
"How Jake, how is that any different, and how am I supposed to fucking know everything huh?" I challenged.
Sam backhanded me forcefully and I looked up at him tearfully.
"Don't ever talk to your brother like that again, do you understand?" Sam asked.
Seth pulled against Leah's arm but Embry helped restrain him. "I'll deal with you in a minute." Sam warned. Seth lowered his head submissively and stared at the floor.
Jake sat back down. Sam turned back to me and I nodded quickly, "I'm sorry."
Jacob spoke up next, "That's exactly how it's different Selena, I am your older brother, and it's my job to protect you. I'm the one who went too far this time, if I didn't tell you the outcome would have still been the same. You did well out their kid and we're all proud of you, I was the one who was out of line this time," He paused, "even though you're still in trouble for a lot of other things now."
This time it was Leah who moved she lunged at Jake and smacked him across his face hard, "You bastard how dare you, giving away tribal secrets so easily. What the hell gives you the right? None of us were warned and do you even realize how hard it was for me, how bad I felt when I couldn't even tell my own little brother? I felt like a monster. But everyone, even you, you asshole, kept telling me I did the right thing!"
She glared at him angrily, "I should tear you apart right here and now!"
"You say that as if you could if you tried." Jake said making an effort to sound like his usual smug self.
Leah made an attempt at another smack but Jake grabbed her wrist.
"Leah stop this, I know what I've done and I plan to accept whatever punishment I'm given. I've wronged you and the rest of the tribe and I'm sorry." He apologized solemnly.
He let go of Leah and she stopped speechlessly.
"I think we've discussed enough for tonight. Everyone should go home and rest, but first," Sam walked over towards Seth who immediately looked back at the floor.
Sam placed his hand on Embry's shoulder and nodded. Embry let go of Seth and stepped back.
"Seth, look at me." Sam instructed. Seth slowly lifted his head up to face Sam who was now towering over him.
"What did you plan on doing, if you would have made it passed both Leah and Embry? Go ahead, show me." Sam said opening his arms.
Everyone watched intently but Seth just looked away.
"Why is it you won't, Seth?" Sam asked.
"Because what I was going to do was wrong and I was out of line, Selena didn't even fight you back on it because she knew what she did was wrong, and… I feel ashamed." Seth answered.
"We've also had this discussion a lot recently haven't we?" Sam asked.
"Yes Sir." Seth responded.
I thought back and Seth has defended me a couple times lately, I guess after he imprinted his instincts to protect me from everything got the best of him.
"So you admit what you did was wrong?" Sam asked.
That's what he just said, yet he asked him again anyways. I would have made a snarky comment but Seth and I are different when it comes to our attitudes.
"Yes sir." Seth replied.
"Well then I am proud of you Seth." Sam responded.
"What? Why?" Seth asked.
"You just did the right thing without even having to be forced into it; you have taken responsibility for your actions. Therefore, I will give you a choice, keep in mind that I, and no one else here," Sam began looking around the room influentially, "Will bare you any ill will for your decision, you can either be punished, or just simply go home with no later repercussions."
Well that's an easy decision, of course he's going to go home why the hell would he just… "I'll submit to the punishment." Seth answered.
"What? Why would you do that? You could have gotten yourself completely out of trouble this time, but instead you choose to be in trouble?" I asked.
"It's not like that Selena, I know what I did was wrong, and I feel guilty about it. It's not about being in trouble or not, I want the guilt to go away." Seth explained.
"My brother knows his place unlike some." Leah said.
"Be quiet Leah." Sam said seeing the emotional pain in Seth's eyes.
"It's a very mature decision, which is why none of us would ever give that decision to you." Jake said.
"Sorry." I answered.
"Okay let's get this meeting over with then so that we can all go back to our houses." Sam said.
Walking to where Jake was sitting, he spoke to him, "You will do community service by volunteering at the reservation's cleanup program every day after school for a month. During which in that time Selena will stay with us after school until you pick her up," Sam directed the rest towards Seth, "and in that time I trust Seth here to walk her straight from the school to our house, which is about a fifteen minute walk so if either of them are even a second late in coming to our home, they will both be punished immediately."
Seth and I smiled at each other happily, and I felt thankful towards Sam for making Seth feel better.
"I know this may be an inconvenience to you Seth but since our house is on the way to yours, and you seem so lonely walking home by yourself, I think you should be able to manage this right?"
Seth and I were both smirking smugly now, and Seth put on his best serious face and answered formally, "I do agree that it will be such an inconvenience, but if you as my alpha, command me to take on this tiresome task, then I shall oblige."
"Well put." Sam said turning away.
Seth and I both smiled widely at each other, Sam really did have his moments of awesomeness.
"Well then everyone besides Seth and Selena are free to go, even though I'm sure Jake and Leah are staying, and well Emily lives here with me so, goodnight everyone."
The rest of the pack besides us left, and Jake and Leah waited on the porch.
"I'm going to go to bed, go easy on them and don't take too long okay?" Emily asked.
"I can't guarantee the first part but I'll be up soon, I love you." Sam replied.
"I love you too." She said heading for their room.
Sam sat on the couch next to me and crooked a finger towards Seth motioning him forward. The atmosphere in the room was once again serious as Seth obeyed.
"Seth you know what you've done wrong, and we don't have as much to discuss so I'll deal with you first. Selena go sit against that wall and wait for me to call you."
I nodded and walked over to the side wall letting my back slide down it. Not wanting to see Seth be punished, I quickly buried my head in my knees and waited.
"Pants off please, I will allow you to keep your boxers on this time." Sam said.
I heard Seth sliding his pants down and guessed that Sam wasted no time in pulling him over his lap because the spanking began.
Loud slaps rang through the air followed by small grunts and moans from Seth. I gave up and lost track after forty.
Seth hadn't said anything the whole time but now he started to speak, "Ouch! Sam please, I'm so ow! I'm sorry Sam, please. Ow Sam it hurts so bad, please stop, ow! Sammy please I promise I'll ow! Behave! Ow! Sammy I swear."
I had never heard anyone besides me call him Sammy, and thought it was cute that they could be that close.
"I'm almost done Seth, it's almost over." Seth moaned and Sam stopped after about twenty more smacks when Seth was sniffling lightly.
Anxiety took over my body and the next couple seconds felt like twenty minutes.
"You're forgiven Seth, Selena come here." Sam said.
I got up quickly as Sam was sliding his pants back on. He blushed deeply and hurried to take my seat by the wall.
I looked down quickly not noticing before what I was wearing. After I passed out they changed me into a silky black sleeveless dress that cut off at the top of my thighs.
Luckily they found the time to find some clothes for me at all, including a silky white bra and underwear that matched, which I was very thankful for right now considering the fact that Seth had just walked behind me and sliding down the wall had pushed my dress up farther than I noticed.
I turned towards him quickly pulling my dress down behind me. I blushed as he looked at me bashfully.
He was watching me, and I was about to be spanked right in front of him too.
It's not like it hadn't happened on multiple other occasions but he wasn't my boyfriend then, did that make this different?
I turned back to Sam who was taking in the interaction and waiting patiently. I took a deep breath and walked the rest of the way.
I allowed Sam to pull me over his lap and I rested my arms in the couch burying my face into them.
Seth most likely touched the floor with his hands and his toes probably grazed the floor lightly when Sam held him but mine weren't even close.
He pulled the dress up past my hips and pulled the underwear down to my ankles.
The air in the room was cold against my bare skin and I felt my face grow hotter, but I managed to refrain myself from objecting, knowing that would only get me a lecture and probably a longer punishment.
"Selena out of thee lack of time we have I am going to tell you why I am punishing you, instead of you telling me. You are receiving this spanking for swearing and talking to people rudely, like always your attitude has once again gotten you into trouble and you are also in trouble for lying, what you almost lied about was a serious offense. You can't go around lying to everyone just to get you or someone else out of trouble that is not how it works, especially not in this family, do you understand?" Sam asked.
"Yes sir." I muttered.
With that he began. The first smack was rougher then I remembered and I jumped and yelped.
He continued the spanking quickly not giving me time to recover from the last smack that he dealt.
I tried to remain silent but I couldn't help the yelps and squeals of pain that exited my mouth.
Each smack got increasingly more painful than the last, reminding me of how strong Sam really is.
After a while I started pleading too, just as Seth had before me, "Sammy please ow! stop, ow! I won't ow! Lie to ow! You ever again ow! Sammy please ow! I won't cuss ow! Or swear either! Ouch! Sammy p-please I'm s-so s-sorry s-Sammy."
I started crying freely not caring any more about whether Seth was there or not, I just wanted Sam to forgive me.
That's all I cared about. The smacks continued for and Sam remained silent as I cried over his lap.
But not soon enough after he stopped and rubbed my back gently, "I forgive you Selly."
I jumped up with joy at the use of my nickname and wrapped my arms around his neck.
My legs were on both sides of his and I sat in his lap as he held me firmly against his chest resting his chin on the top of my head.
I completely forgot everything that had happened, or was around me as I melted into Sam's embrace.
This is my favorite part of being punished, I'm not masochistic or anything, but I love it when my brothers hold me tightly in their arms.
I could feel the love between us and the bond we shared and I knew that everything would be alright.
I felt safe and secure when I was with them. Like I could take on anyone or anything that tried to get between my family and I.
He pulled me forward and pulled up my underwear before pulling down my dress.
"I love you Selly, don't forget that." Sam said.
"I won't Sammy, and I love you too." I know how lucky I am to be able to share these feeling with people who feel the same way about me.
A lot of people don't get to feel now like I do, or may not ever feel this way towards anyone.
But no matter what happens, what problems we face together, or fights within our pack, the truth is we're a family and we love each other, and nothing, will ever split us apart.
Sam smoothed my hair down with his hands and lifted me up. "Come on Seth." He called.
Jake and Leah looked relieved to see us. "I want all of you to go home and get some rest." He said standing me up.
Sam hugged Seth goodbye and Seth came over to give me what seemed like an innocent hug.
He moved his mouth towards my ear, "I'll see you in a few." It took me a second to understand what he was saying; he had said earlier that he wanted to be with me after.
"Smile so they don't get suspicious." He said knowingly.
I quickly smiled and whispered back, "I don't want you to get in any more trouble because of me."
"Trust me, it'll be okay." He whispered with one final squeeze.
"See you tomorrow." Seth waved at Jake and me and followed after Leah. We were both about five minutes away from our houses.
Seth and Leah's were directly behind Sam and Emily's, and Jake and I lived to the right of his house.
I was nervous as we walked away. Seth and that face of his could really pull off such innocence.
I sighed and wanted to break the silence somehow, "Um, so about the whole 'ancestors' thing…"
"Don't worry I'm pretty positive they'll think your spanking was enough punishment, that they're not going to curse you or anything." Jake joked.
"That's not what I meant, and that explains why he was so dam- um oops sorry uh… rough with me. But how did that happen in the first place? How did? Why did? I mean…" I sighed; "I have no clue what I mean."
Jake laughed, "It's alright, and I don't know we're having another meeting tomorrow with the elders, a less violent one, but for now don't worry about it, Sam was right, we all need our sleep."
I thought about Seth, and I had a feeling we weren't going to be sleeping much.
