CH10 - Cedric's POV
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I wish I could bring Kyla with me and show her off to everyone in my pack, but right now I can’t guarantee she won’t try to run off at the first opportunity. It doesn’t seem fair to keep her locked up either, but what choice do I have right now?
Then there are the other pack members. A girl like him would be instantly popular with the guys and unpopular with the women for being near me but not as my mate - even though she is. They annoy me enough as it is, but another leader that they can try their luck with? No way on the Moon will I ever let them near her without me around to protect her!
It’s heartbreaking to be away from her, even if I haven’t gone far, but this additional matter needs my attention now. She probably isn’t happy with being locked up in her room, but I’ll make it up to her as soon as I get back.
As I step into the war room, I cast my gaze over my warriors. “What’s the damage?” I ask, my tone taking on a more serious note. None of my warrior

Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH11 - Kyla's POV
I’m a little apprehensive about sitting next to alpha Cedric. He seems a little odd today, though. He seems much quieter than he usually is. I wonder if something is playing on his mind, but I don’t dare ask questions. I don’t want him assuming I’ve gotten weak. He sits there in silence for a while before finally leaning closer to me. I want to flee, but I have nowhere I can go. As I brace for him to do something strange to me again, he surprises me. Instead of his awkward touches, he leans his head on my lap and closes his eyes. I can feel my heart racing in my chest. Why does his every movement have my heart beating so swiftly like this? Am I really that afraid of him? Or is this something else? Whatever happens, I won’t let down my guard. Eventually, he will get bored with merely teasing me. I never want to be forced into anything, but I wonder if I can even defend myself from him? He is stronger than me and could just take anything he wanted. I gu
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH12 - Cedric's POV
I hadn’t meant for the kiss to go quite this far, but the way her body responded to me had mine reacting as much, if not more than hers. Kyla was utterly oblivious to the mate-bond between us. I realised this quickly enough, but that didn’t mean I could hold back. My emotions over losing my beta were muddying my thought process, but worst of all was the bond making me think this was a great idea. A fabulous idea, an idea so grand that nothing could go wrong. It wasn’t right, but it wasn’t wrong either. “Oh, ah, Moon,” Kyla moaned under me as I focused on her neck, where I could quickly tell her weakness was. That she was getting into this was a good sign and the sound of her pleasured moans made me even needier of her touch. As I drifted my fingers up, I slid them under her top and along her soft, round chest. Her breathing was rapid and her heart was pounding so hard that I thought it might leap out at any moment now. I lifted my head away fr
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH13 - Kyla's POV
The moment Cedric tells me he will pound himself into me, my body stirs awake. I hide it as much as I can, but I can’t hide the flush that rises to my cheeks. He had noticed too, and that means I am in deep shit now. No matter how much I protest, he knows my body wakes up whenever he touches me. There’s nothing I can do to push him away. This will be the end of me. Why, oh why in the name of the Moon does my body keep betraying me like this all the time!? What did I do to deserve such punishment from her? Out of everyone in the world that could have beaten me and held me, hostage, why did it have to be some crazy sex-mad alpha such as Cedric? As soon as I hear the door locking behind him, I flop my head back on the couch. I take in a deep breath and then bite my lower lip. There is nothing I can do now. My body has woken up and I need to handle this before it becomes a problem. If I could have, I would have moved into the bathroom, but walking there w
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH14 - Cedric's POV
I have to admit, I never thought I’d have to force myself to hold back in wanting my mate. I could hear every sound she had made in there, and part of me wanted to burst back in and take her. Yet I knew that would only scare her, so I resisted any urge I had. Spending the night taking care of myself, and cooling myself down in the shower, I finished the rest of the night wishing Kyla was laying next to me. It's still too soon to wish for such things to happen, and it's a shame that I can't have her beside me now. However, I want her to settle into her new life before I claim her as my mate. Anything less would only make her resent me, perhaps even reject me later on. That is not a risk I would ever be willing to take with her. She is far too precious for me to ever become so selfish. Despite all that, I yearn for her like nothing else. As soon as the morning sun hits my face, I can’t help but rush myself to get ready for the day ahead of me. Though I’m not ge
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH15 - Kyla's POV
“Asshole!” I yell at the door as soon as Cedric has gone. My body feels frustratingly turned on by that man and now I am wide awake and unable to think about anything else. I’ll never give in to him! Never! It’ll be a chilly day in hell that I willingly give myself to him! I just wish Dereck was here with me so we could plan an escape. We wouldn’t be able to bring our pack with us, but they’re safe enough here. It seems I’m the only one in any danger. However, I’m stuck. There is no way out of this room and no matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to think of a way out. Maybe fighting him off is my only option, but that risks so much and I know I don’t have the power to win against him. I sigh and hang my head for a moment. I can’t sit back and do nothing. Waiting for an opportunity feels like I am wasting my time and soon that will run out. He will want to do more than just kiss me. Closing my eyes, I try to cool off my body and remove any thou
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH16 - Dereck's POV
So much has happened since my luna bowed down to Cedric and this pack. I’ve gone unnoticed as Kyla’s beta so far, but only because I know exactly how to blend in well enough. He knows I’m a warrior, but he hasn’t paid me much more attention besides that. That is the only reason he didn’t slaughter me on the spot, I imagine. There would be no way he would accept another beta in his pack. Especially not one that can rival his own for the spot. He could have lowered my rank, but the mistrust he would have over me wouldn’t be worth it, I imagine. At least, that is my take on things. I could be wrong, of course. Either way, I don’t need to be his beta. The only loyalty I have is towards Kyla. That woman has probably gotten herself into so much trouble since we were forced here. I hope they have not hurt her too much. She was forced into the luna role at the loss of her parents, but she is still very gentle and inexperienced. Plus, no one should ever mark that cute face of hers. If someo
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH17 - Kyla's POV
Still, there has been no sign of Cedric ever since this morning. This isn’t like him at all. What is taking that jackass so long? And why does no one else ever come to visit me except him? Surely he has a beta or someone who can also monitor me?Just as I am about to yell obscenities at the door (again), I hear some exchanges from outside. Then, the door unlocks and to my surprise and delight; I see Dereck standing there with my evening meal.I open my mouth to greet him, but then realise I need to hold my tongue by the way he looks at me. Putting on an act, I huff and mutter, “about time. I’m starving.”If he has sneaked in to serve me lunch, then I can’t let the guard catch on. It could cost Dereck his life!As soon as they shut the door behind us, I quickly wrap my arms around my old beta and hold him close. It’s so good to see him again! I’ve missed him so much and was worried Cedric had killed him off or some
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH 18 - Kyla's POV
At first, I’m not sure what to make of him kissing me. He’s been my friend for so long now and has always been reliable, but has he always liked me this way? He had said nothing to me before, so why now?The better question is, why am I kissing him back? I pull him closer, allowing my fingers to brush through his hair. We have always been attached to the hip ever since Dereck joined my pack. I have to admit that his loyalty, devotion, and kindness have always motivated me and kept me going.I really don’t know what I would do without him. But does that make it ok for us to make out like this? We are not destined mates. At least, as far as I know. I’m sure he would have told me if we were.The truth is, I don’t really know Dereck’s past before he joined us. He never speaks of his old pack, not even to me. I know they’re gone, but the how and the why? That I don’t know. I saved his life from another werewolf, but if

Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH105 - Kyla's POV
A few weeks later...Stretching out on the enormous bed, I almost don’t want to get up. However, before I can sit up, I am suddenly attacked by two small bodies as they jump up and down, calling out my name.“Luna Kyla! Luna Kyla get up!”I can’t help but laugh as I grab the corner of the quilt and spring it up and over the two kids’ heads. Their squeals of delight echoes through my ears, causing a wide grin to grow on my face.“Who dares to awaken the bed monster?” I ask in a playfully rough growl. As the youngsters squeal and squirm under the blankets, I can’t help but feel a small sense of relief that they can still laugh.After the last battle against Vukasin, we lost so many of our pack, and as a result, many children were orphaned. Although we couldn’t take all of them in, we have taken in these two little rascals and they have settled down as well as can be expected. The others have been
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH104 - Kyla's POV
I would be lying if I said I hadn’t hated every moment of taking Vukasin’s life, but I had made the decision and could not back down once I had made it. I wanted to be seen as Cedric’s equal, as a leader, and not just his mate.As I helped drag Vukasin’s corpse through the street and back to the main battle. Cedric waited for me to stand next to him before he nodded. When I was ready, the two of us let out a victory howl together.As soon as the nearest pack members saw their fallen alpha, they stopped fighting in shock. Soon enough, the cry of victory echoed throughout the area. I just hoped Vukasin didn’t have a beta or gamma that would seek revenge at the loss of their leader.When silence fell at last on the battlefield, I gazed out at the remaining packs and saw we had paid such a heavy toll on both sides. I wasn’t sure what would happen now, but the biggest hurdle was over. The only thing left now was dealing with Vukasi
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH103 - Cedric's POV
I can hear Kyla and Vukasin fighting one another, but my eyes still sting from the dirt that bastard flicked into them. It takes me a while before I can get them clear enough to where I can see them again. Though it still stings, and my eyes water each time I open them.Vukasin has dragged my mate down in front of him, and I realise that if I don’t step in now, he will slaughter Kyla. My heart aches at the thought and before the worst can happen, I charge forward, forcing Vukasin to back up as I stand protectively over my mate.The two of us snarl at one another and I realise Vukasin’s hind leg is bleeding, and he isn’t putting any weight on it. Kyla must have done some damage, which I am thankful for. This should give us an edge in battle.In all honesty, I’m surprised Kyla had the resolution to fight with Vukasin. It makes me proud of her, to see how far she has come as a luna. Having the strength to get past her trauma and to fight an

I knew it would be risky to do this myself, but I couldn’t find anyone nearby that would be a better fit for this task. Going back to find Dereck or Joey would waste too much time and we couldn’t afford to wait any longer. We would miss our chance to end this quickly if I messed around trying to find and free up someone stronger.I watched Cedric chase Vukasin until he could guide him in the direction I had suggested. I knew my plan would work. It just meant I had to be careful when blocking the opposite way. I was sure I could distract him long enough for Cedric to do what he needed to do, it was just a matter of making sure he couldn't slip past me easily.Darting through the crowd of fighting werewolves, I find my way out of the chaos. Finally, I reached the spot before Cedric and Vukasin could reach it. I have a couple of things to do before they get here, but it wouldn't take me long at all.Transforming back into my human form, I grab the large
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH101 - Cedric's POV
This fight has gone on for far too long, but I hadn’t expected it to be so easy. Even with the others flanking our enemy from the other side, this isn’t a straightforward battle. Vukasin has escaped my claws once again, though he hasn’t gotten far from me this time. However, I now have to deal with one of his warriors before I can continue my battle with him.I’m starting to think Vukasin is trying to tire me out by forcing me to fight as many of his warriors as he can throw at me. It is a cunning plan. To make me so tired that he can beat me easier. However, I know what he is trying to do, so I do the same. I have a warrior battle with him in return.I have to hand it to him. Vukasin is a formidable foe. However, dragging this fight out like this only makes it worse for both sides. We’ve already lost a fair number of warriors each and I can bet more lives will be lost. That might be an acceptable sacrifice to Vukasin, but not to me.
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH100 - Kyla's POV
The pounding of my heart would not cease. I was exhausted, but we couldn’t stop even after we fought back the enemy. Their regrouping didn’t take long either after the two I had distracted had returned. However, with Joey’s help, the group thought twice about renewing the fight directly.There might have only been four of us, but we were formidable in our own ways and the enemy seemed to have understood that. However, they were not about to give up and walk away. They hounded us with each movement on our way back to the other group. They gave us no choice but to fend them off again and again. At this rate, we would be too tired to be of any help to Cedric and the others.Joey once more forced the last of our pursuers away from us before backing into the safety of our small group. “We need to rest,” he told us as he looked towards Rohn. “But if we rest, they will hound us even more. How frustrating.”I followed his gaze t
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH99 - Kyla's POV
As I turned the corner, it seemed Dereck had gained the upper hand on the ones attacking him, but Rohn wasn’t fairing as well. He was old, though still putting up a fight. However, I realised something was wrong. Had they injured him in the fight? Whatever the reason was, he seemed almost lethargic. That’s when I realised what the problem was.Rohn must have known his mate was near death when she left his side, but if he had known of the exact moment she had died, I wasn’t sure. I heard tales of that being the case before but had never experienced it. If one could know the moment their mate died, then I was sure Cedric was still alive.Feeling there was hope, I charged forward and helped Rohn with the foe he was currently dealing with. Dereck would be fine for a while, but the old alpha would not survive against this young warrior for much longer.Just as the enemy was about to strike, I barreled into their side, knocking them off balance tempo
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH98 - Cedric's POV
I was sure I had seen my mate when the second group had flanked our enemy, yet now I couldn’t see her anywhere. I had forced Vukasin back against the others, but now he had gotten out of my reach. Yet despite that, the continuous fighting meant I couldn’t leave to find out where Kyla had run off to.Sinking my fangs into the neck of a rival warrior, I waited for them to stop squirming before I pulled my maw away again. We had the advantage, and I knew we would win, yet not seeing Kyla anywhere had me distracted. Was she safe? Or perhaps she had been forced to retreat for now?And speaking of mates, where was Dereck? He should have been with the group, too. I hastily looked around, but couldn’t see him anywhere either. Two others were missing as well. The old luna and alpha from Silver-Sun pack. Has something gone wrong? Did Kyla get in trouble and they had gone to save her? Or was Kyla the one trying to save them?I wanted to leave the fight to
