CH56 - Dereck's POV
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56With Kyla now so exhausted she fell asleep, it was time for me and Cedric to talk things out. I watch him get some wet towels to clean Kyla up and then when he is done, I say, “you really seem to treat her well.”
“Of course I do,” Cedric responds. He glances down at the sleeping luna and then looks back at me. “She is my mate. It is the least I can do to make her feel good and pampered. I don’t want her to think this is nothing but a game to me.”
I give a low, thoughtful hum. That is a fair point, but I don’t think he realises that without the truth, Kyla will continue to assume that to be the case. And what’s worse is now she might assume the same of me. Or that I’ve betrayed her. Though I know I can talk her out of such thoughts so I’m not too worried.
“Being destined mates and showing a lover how much you care are two very different things,” I point out, reaching out to brush Kyla&r

Once more, I am awake before Kyla, but after last night, she probably won’t be leaving the bedroom anytime soon. I glance down the hall to where Dereck is and see no signs that he is awake either, though he could just be lying in bed, waiting for me to leave.It doesn’t matter too much, I won’t be gone long and I need to trust in my own judgements and let things be for now. If I keep mistrusting these two, then there isn’t any reason to expect them to trust me, either.As I head down the stairs, I walk towards the guest wing. If they’re awake, then they’ll be in the lounge somewhere. If they’re still asleep, then I’ll be around to catch them before anyone else. Either way, I know Dereck isn't wrong about sorting out any misunderstandings quickly. This whole mess started because Kyla misunderstood my intentions towards her.With luck, I saw Caleb and his daughter already in the lounge. The only other person with the
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH58 - Kyla's POV
Everything about last night has me thinking, ‘I can’t believe I did that!’From giving Dereck pleasure with my mouth to letting Cedric take my virginity from behind. Not to mention the fact that it was at the SAME Moon-Damed time! And worse, I enjoyed it all!I hold my head, eyes wide from the realisation that I’ve fallen so deep down into the pit of lust. I might never make it back out again at this rate. Worse, now Dereck knows just how much I like it when Cedric does those things to me.Though now I know for sure that he will not be angry at me for giving in to Cedric. He was the one who told me to do it. I just did what he told me to do. I still don’t know why, though. Is he being blackmailed? That isn’t likely. Cedric wouldn’t have let him anywhere near me sexually if that was the case.As I glance at the empty bed beside me, I can’t help but go over everything that happened last night. The moment I pus
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH59 - Kyla's POV
The sense of relief I have as soon as I spot Dereck inside my bedroom and not Cedric is substantial. He seems to have just woken up and is still half-naked beside the bed. I blush heavily, recalling what happened last night, and turn around to give him some privacy.“S-sorry!” I quickly utter in order to not be rude. I probably should have knocked first, but oh well. I won’t get yelled at, but I don’t want to give the wrong impression of why I’m here either.“Don’t be,” Dereck chuckles in amusement, and I can hear him hastily moving over to me. The moment his arms wrap around me, I lean back, enjoying his warmth and the feel of comfort he gives me. As he places his lips to my neck, I hear him whisper, “good morning.”“M-morning,” I responded, still flustered, but happy that Dereck is still his normal self. I almost forget why I came here to begin with, until Dereck’s morning kiss conti
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH60 - Kyla's POV
I’m so relieved that Dereck hasn’t betrayed me, and that if I change my mind, then he’ll get me out of here. Though now I’m wondering if this had never happened, would he have continued to plot an escape and drag me out until I admitted the truth? I suppose I’m glad it happened this way. Now I don’t have to give him any awkward reasons on why I don’t want to hurt Cedric or leave him. Though I still don’t understand why I feel this way at all. Dereck didn’t explain it to me, though I guess if I don’t know the answer, then how can I expect anyone else to understand it? I make my way downstairs in search of a certain alpha male. It doesn’t take much to locate him as the squeals of girls alert me to his location fairly easily. As I enter the hall, I can see they have started to clean up after last night’s party. However, whatever motivation to clean has since been swept away by the handsome alpha. I roll my eyes while watching them. Most of these omegas must be f
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH61 - Kyla's POV
So many sets of eyes peer at me from around the room. It’s enough to make me feel rather subconscious. It’s as though they’re all judging me silently, wondering just what filth has stepped into their lives.I take a deep breath and ignore their looks. If I show any sign of weakness now, they’ll be on me like vultures over a dead animal. Rather than slink away with my tail between my legs, I stand straight and ask firmly, yet still politely, “where has Cedric gone? I needed to talk to him.”The group of omegas looks at one another, then back at me. At first, they whisper and giggle between themselves before pushing one in front of me. She doesn’t seem too impressed with her friends and scoffs at me before finally saying, “he had to go into his study for a meeting. You shouldn’t disturb him.”I roll my eyes and shake my head. “Thanks,” is all I mumble to her before storming off. Who knows what
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH62 - Cedric's POV
Being pinned against the wall by my mate surprised me at first. I never thought she would ever get the best of me. Yet she manoeuvred out of my reach at just the right moment to turn the tables. Though this would be for all of a second, had I decided not to enjoy the moment.I’ll admit, this is more amusing than I thought it might be. She looks so serious about being more in command of things, and I’m not completely against that if it means she is finally being honest about what she wants from me.Still, I think I can push her a bit more until she can admit the truth, not just to herself, but to me. It often takes a bunch of teasing and probing to make her confess her feelings concerning pretty much anything. This time is likely no different.“So,” I say playfully. “What do you plan to do to me, now that you have me where you want?” I ask, smiling broadly, yet with a hint of charm.Kyla’s face flushes a soft pink
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH63 - Kyla's POV
As I pass the warriors and scouts returning to the meeting, I ignore their strange looks cast towards me. My mind is far too focused on my own actions and emotions. Not to mention how much I find myself wanting Cedric all to myself. Have I somehow fallen in love with him? I want to reject that notion, but how else could I explain any of this?If I admit that I’ve caught feelings for Cedric, then there really is no going back. I’ll never be able to free myself from him and his clutches because I’ll not be able to deny it anymore.Lowering my gaze and wrapping my hands around my arms, I sigh. This is all such a fine mess that I’ve gotten myself into. If I had never given my body to him, then I could still have argued against these emotions, but now I can’t.Dereck seems to think all of this is actually fine but said he will still do what I want in the end. I’m glad he is supportive, but that doesn’t help me decide what to
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH64 - Kyla's POV
The meeting lasts for what seems like hours. It surprised Dereck when I told him what Cedric was planning, but he agreed it would be a good chance to prove himself to Cedric and gain his respect, as well as a better position in the pack.I’m sure he would do well as Cedric’s beta. Perhaps it would even work to get me a better position too, instead of just being Cedric’s ‘omega’. Though I just hope those two both come back alive. It’ll be awkward to lose either of them, and I’m not sure what would happen to me if it passed. Would the pack disband? Would they accept Anita as their leader? What would I do then? Stay and accept a new role in the pack? Ask her if I could leave? There's no way of knowing what I might feel or want to do.The only thing I know right now is that I want Cedric and Dereck to stay with me.The sound of the bedroom door opening alerts me to Cedric’s return. I hesitate at first, but the moment 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
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
