CH22 - Cedric's POV
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56As soon as I first saw Kyla from my position on the stage, I knew she was worried about something. I didn’t want to hope it was me she was worried about, but part of me believed she did. That she laughed so harshly when I asked her about it actually hurt me. Not that I would admit to it.
I can’t say I blame her much for resenting my actions. Keeping her locked away isn’t exactly very nice of me. I just didn’t want anyone else to swoop her up and claim her in my absence. I suppose I could just tell them all the truth, but then the truth may get back to her and that would likely scare her.
Besides, I want to be the one to confess the truth to her, and I’ll do that when she is ready for it. Until then, I will keep everyone in the dark for just a little longer. At least, until she finally realises I can be trusted.
As soon as we get back to the top floor where our bedrooms are, Kyla heads toward her room. I grab her gently by the arm, h

Why! Every single time! This isn’t fair!Not only do I keep failing to win against this man, but with every touch, every kiss, my body decides it likes it and now is no different! Grinding against me earlier, and now this pose and kiss? Is there nothing this man does that my body will reject?I feel my knees go weak as Cedric slips his tongue inside my mouth. I have to cling to his shirt to keep me from buckling over. The taste of his mouth is almost intoxicating. He is going to assume I want this if I don’t push him away now!The way his hands slowly slide down from my hips to my thighs makes my body respond in ways I wish it wouldn’t. If only I had the strength to push him away, maybe I could think clearly for more than a few seconds.I inhale deeply as he breaks the kiss for a moment and lifts me up against his body. My legs instinctively wrap around his waist to keep me from falling, but I realise how this might appear to him.

The way Kyla squirms against me drives me insane. I’m barely holding myself together at this point. Every ounce of my body is screaming to claim this woman as my mate, but my heart knows not to force this. If I mark her as mine and she isn’t emotionally ready, I’ll cause resentment that may never wash away.“Do you want to stop?” I asked, my voice was hesitant. I know she will say that she never wanted me to do this in the first place, but I could never take Kyla against her will.The look she gives me is one of scorn, but she quickly looks away, confliction clear in her eyes. Even though she doesn’t understand any of this, I can tell that her body feels the bond between us. She probably doesn’t feel it as much as I do, but there’s no mistaking it. Her body knows what we are.“Then if you won’t refuse me, sleep with me tonight. We don’t have to fuck, but-” I pause. Can I really promise I won

It pissed me off at first when he started laughing, but the moment he called me ‘fucking cute’, I could feel my face flushing hotly. Why did he once more make me feel like I wanted to be with him in this way? As he lifted his head, I couldn’t help but look away shyly.I bit my lower lip and tried to keep my voice as normal as I could as I said, “if you’re going to force me, then at least get it over with.”“Force you?” Cedric asked, curiously. “If you don’t wish to do more, then I’ll stop,” he said, his hand cupping my cheek. I never know what to do with this man. He assures me he will stop, and he does, but then he tries his luck and somehow I allow him to do more and more to me.“I just… it isn’t…” I can’t bring my thoughts into words.Cedric gives a thoughtful hum before he whispers into my ear, “does it feel good?”I hesitan
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH26 - Kyla's POV
Last night had been… something I both never wish to remember, yet I know I’ll remember what happened for the rest of my life. Do I regret it? Abso-fucking-lutely! But I also… don’t?Cedric is still asleep, which I’m sort of thankful for. Who knows what kind of beast he will be when he wakes up? I try to ignore the memory of last night. How he turned me on until I couldn’t take it anymore, or how I became so needy for his touch.My cheeks flush hotly as I shake my head free of the lustful thoughts trying to sneak into my mind. We never went all the way, which I’m grateful for. However, I now realise one thing I got wrong last night.I’m not the one seducing him. He is the one seducing me!The bastard! Even in this, he overpowers me. I sigh and glance down at him. He looks so peaceful and content. It’s strange how he can look like an angel while asleep, but when awake, he has the devil’s tongue.
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH27 - Dereck's POV
I was so glad to know Kyla wasn’t harmed and that the alpha of this pack seemed more interested in merely belittling her with a change of title. However, I knew it couldn’t last long and that I needed to find a way for Kyla and me to escape or take over.I wasn’t too sure taking over would ever be an option for us. Kyla likely knew if we escaped, it would just be us and not the rest of the pack. Although she would be willing, I’m sure she would be hesitant in case Cedric threatened the remaining pack of hers.There were choices, but none of them was going to be easy.As I wandered past the packhouse, I could see Cedric leaving. He still had his limp, but it looked like he was deliberately trying to hide it. I had to admire the way he tried to stay strong for his pack and not show any sign of weakness.I turned my attention back to the packhouse. If I was sneaky, I might get to see Kyla again. I would risk being found out, but I wanted to see her again. Kyla meant so much to me, and I
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH28 - Cedric's POV
When I was disturbed this morning, I wasn’t happy. This wasn’t as dire as I expected, but I still had to handle it. The scouts hadn’t seen the pack we handled the other day, but someone else had trespassed.Thankfully, my scouts had already captured them, so all I needed to do was head back to the prison and find out what it was they were doing on our land. With luck, this is just a rogue that found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.As I head towards the packhouse, I spot Kyla looking out the window. She spots me and shoots a harsh glare, but otherwise, she doesn’t say or do anything to insult me.I flash her a charming grin and continue onwards towards the prisons. I don’t like to make use of them, but until I know who this person is and what they want, I can’t let them go.Part of me wishes I could spend all my day with Kyla instead, but my alpha duties must come first. With a heavy sigh, I enter the pr

I wonder what has been keeping Cedric away for so long. After he came back this way, I was sure he would have come back up to annoy me. Yet there’s no sign of him at all. The guard this time is a woman, and she hasn’t looked at me once, yet remains firmly stood near the only stairway down out of this place.I wonder why Cedric picked a woman this time? He used male guards before, right? Or did he not put any thought into this, and I’m just speculating about things? He said I smelled divine, right? Maybe that’s why? She isn’t a risk because she’s female?I shrug and look absently out of the window again. I can see some of the pack members wandering around outside, enjoying the sun. Yet here I am, stuck inside. It’s nice to have more room, but this isn’t the same as being allowed to be out in the sunshine.I sigh and sit on the windowsill casually. I might not be allowed outside, but I can at least enjoy as much of i

By the time Cedric has returned, it’s almost late evening. He looks exhausted, and I half expected him to go straight to bed without bothering to see me. However, to my surprise, he pokes his head into my room and offers me a small smile.“Sorry,” he says, his words quiet. “You’re already eaten and everything, right? I wanted to make something for you, but my duty took more time than I was expecting.”I shrug. Although I try so hard to pretend I’m not bothered by his absence, the truth of the matter is that I am bothered. I’ve not stopped thinking about him and that woman, and I can’t understand why.“It’s not like I’m your mother,” I responded coldly. “Now, if you don’t mind, I’d like to shower so I can get ready for bed,” I tell him without looking at him too much.I don’t hear a response at first and assume he has left without a fuss. However, I

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

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
