CH86 - Cedric's POV
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I wasn’t sure what gifts I should bring to let this pack know I truly wanted their aid and peace between our packs. However, with Dereck’s suggestions, we have a few things they will have at least some use for.
The journey there was slow at first. Kyla’s wounds had healed mostly, but she had become slower and needed to eat more often than usual just to keep up her strength. At least she had made progress since we first rescued her, and Anita had assured us that Kyla would make a full recovery if given enough time.
I was still worried about her coming with us. There was no way she could fight against anyone like this, but she refused to stay behind this time. I couldn’t deny her request after promising she could come with us, so we made do with how slowly she needed to go.
What should have been a day or two’s journey turned into almost a week of travelling. Finally, Dereck alerted us when we neared the borders of his deceased mate&rs

When Dereck requested cookies, it surprised me. Never did I take him for a man with a sweet tooth. However, when the cookies had been delivered, I understood why he liked them so much. I took another one and nibbled into it in delicious silence.I was quite happy to let Dereck and Cedric do most of the talking, though now and then, I made my own opinions known. Some topics made me want to throw up - most of those topics were the things that the bastard of an alpha did to me or would do to others if he ever won against the rest of the packs.I had known some of the topics wouldn’t be things I could take part in, but I still wanted to do my duty as a leader. No matter how minor my participation was. I knew with those two beside me, I could start small and work my way up until I regained my confidence.“We do have a question, however,” Rohn said as he watched the three of us curiously. “What do you plan to do with the other packs once you ha
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH88 - Dereck's POV
Although I kept my composure, Cedric’s question left me a little dumbfounded. Was he serious? Three leaders had ever ruled in the history of our packs, or any pack before us. Not even mentioning the fact that we would all share the mark of bonding between us.I wouldn’t just be a lover, limited in my affections. I could love Kyla just as equally as Cedric could. The downside, if one could call it that; was that I had to take Cedric as my mate, too. Was I ready for that? Could I love him as I loved Kyla?“I accept.” The words left my mouth before I had even finished contemplating those thoughts.Even though it was going to be strange, I didn’t see any reason to reject Cedric. We had already shared a night with Kyla, and he wasn’t asking me to submit to his will. Instead, he was asking for our relationship to be mostly unchanged. It would promote me to the third leader in our pack.With how big Cedric’s pack was abo

The journey back to our pack wasn’t as slow as our arrival. Kyla seemed to be in such a good mood, she had a pep in her steps. It made the rest of our group feel a little more enthusiastic as a result.Kyla might not be a powerful warrior, compared to any within my pack, but her cheerful, amazing personality, beyond her stubbornness, can be quite contagious.Once we got home, I made sure we had enough room to host the new members. I had a feeling we would need to expand my land beyond what it is now, just to keep everyone safe. However, until we defeat the enemy, there are too many risks to take the time to do that. Perhaps I might just keep the packs in their original lands and just put betas within each area.With enough scouts to monitor the enemy, I set into motion the extra training everyone needed to ensure we had the best chance to win.Joey had proven himself worthy enough to advance himself, so I made him my new beta now that Dereck had als
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH90 - Kyla's POV
Today’s training has been so exhausting, but I can already tell that I’ve improved and grown as a luna. It feels good to be called that again and for others to show me some respect. I guess it helps that I’ve stopped acting out and being so bratty.I run a nice warm bath and dip down into the water, allowing the heat to soothe my muscles. I don’t know how much time we have left, but I think Cedric wants to take the fight to Vukasin. Why he would do so is understandable. We have many here who are too young or too old to fight off an invading group, but if Cedric takes too long to take action, we won’t get a choice.As I relax in the bathtub, I hear someone entering the bedroom. I glance towards the open bathroom door and spot Dereck. He seems to be searching for something, or probably someone, and I can easily guess who that might be.“I’m in here,” I call out, not wanting to move from the bath at all.The mo

At first, came the massage, then being washed by my lovers, and then next was them drying me. I felt the Moon had truly blessed me with such love and bliss. All that was missing now was a large fan and some grapes being hand-fed to me.I couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought, even as Cedric dried my head with a towel. My mind only wondered what else the future would bring once the three of us could live with no fears. I wasn’t sure if true peace could be obtained, but it would at least be a step in the right direction.“What’s so funny?” Cedric asked with amusement, filling his voice. “I don’t recall you being so ticklish.”I laugh a little more. “I’m not,” I responded, a grin forming on my lips. “There’s just nothing more amusing than being spoiled, that’s all. I almost want to find out what else you two will do.”“I’m sure we can find something fun t

Morning came all too soon for the three of us. I had hoped we would have a little more time to sleep in, but training should never be delayed. Every second we waste, the worse off we will be in battle.I lean over and nudge Dereck first, followed by Kyla. I keep my voice gentle, but loud enough to arouse them. “Come on now. Time to get up.”Kyla utters her usual morning complaint before tossing away from me. I can’t help but smile at her. Kyla has never been a morning person, but last night probably didn’t help.Dereck, however, wakes up after a moment and stretches. With a smile, he wraps an arm around Kyla and plants a kiss on her head. “Come on lazybones,” he whispers. “Or else I’ll steal the covers and throw cold water on you.”It takes mere seconds for Kyla to get up and shoot out of bed. “I’m awake! I’m up!” She says, not giving Dereck the chance to carry out his promise o
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH93 - Kyla's POV
I really did not want to go into battle against this pack. My fear of their alpha had not subsided, and knowing he would be just as heartless to our side as the one who had killed my parents brought me nothing but dread.Anything could go wrong, and many of us may never make it home again. This was the reality so many of us had known since we were children. Losing members of our pack, our parents, siblings or even children. I knew this had to end today, and that there was no other choice, but it never made doing this any easier.As we marched towards the pass between the two cliffs, the scouts motioned for us to stop. I glanced towards Dereck and waited for him to speak with the scout. Although I listened carefully to what was being said, I cast my gaze on the small army behind me.Each wolf was strong, healthy and looked ready for this battle, though the unease never left their faces. What we were planning was risky, but the results would be worth it.&l

The wait for Kyla’s return was hard on everyone, not just me. Yet we knew better than to rush in and find ourselves at a disadvantage. We couldn’t just go around and yet heading into a potential trap was foolish.Shifting on the spot, I couldn’t help but want to dash forward and say screw the risks. It wasn’t until Kyla came speeding around the corner that I realised she was being chased.I rushed towards her, catching her pursuer off guard when they caught sight of a bigger, stronger alpha in front of him. There was only this one male, but he was almost as large as me.He snarled and lowered his head, before realising it wasn’t just me and Kyla he had to contend with, but a vast group of fighters.“Well, shit,” he grumbled and took a step back.Kyla returned to my side once she had caught her breath and looked up at the wolf before us. “If you surrender, you won’t need to die…” she

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
