CH92 - Cedric's POV
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Morning 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
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH94 - Dereck's POV
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 CH95 - Cedric's POV
If there was one thing I knew about Vukasin, it was that he wanted me dead far more than any other alpha in this area. So much so, he would let his guard down and bring a majority of his warriors to me.I brought enough of my pack to give a sense of urgency, but few enough he might think he would have an advantage. The rest I left with Dereck and Kyla’s group. With the other pack now part of ours too, we could easily flank Vukasin and his pack here.The only risk was if one of Vukasin’s other pack members caught them and sent out an alarm before they could reach us. However, there had been no sign of anyone having caught them so far. That gave me faith they could do what I needed of them.“You were a fool to think you could bring your pack here to kill me,” Vukasin growled threateningly at me. He lowered his gaze and snarled. “I don’t see your precious little whore, though. Kept her safe in bed, did you? A shame. I wouldn&rsqu
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH96 - Kyla's POV
The sound of my pounding heart rings in my ears as I lead my group further through the streets and roads. At first, we had been on edge when there had been a severe lack of people here. That was until we almost ran into a guard patrol.Now we had to take a long way around this hellish place. I knew we had little time left, but things weren’t going according to plan. The patrols were not as extensive as they probably would have been, but they were still to be avoided at all costs.Dereck should have caught up with us by now too, yet he hadn’t. That had me worried sick about him, but I couldn’t turn back or wait for him now. Cedric and the other half of the pack needed us. I’m sure he won his fight and will join us soon. I just need to have faith in him.Nearing a corner, I cautiously poke my head out to check for any signs we’re not alone. My ears flicker as I listen out for the sound of footsteps, but so far, things appear quiet. I
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH97 - Kyla's POV
Despite the cramps in my sides, I push onwards. I’ve finally lost that fool who kept chasing me, but now I’ve delayed returning to Dereck’s small group by quite some time. There has been no sign of them yet and I fear they’re still fighting or something else has delayed them.I perk my ears forward and listen out for any signs of the others. I was sure I had left them around here somewhere. There are no familiar sounds of battling anywhere near me.I glance around for something familiar. Had I taken the wrong turn earlier? Or had they fled the area? Dereck would have tried losing them at some point, but would he have gone so far in the wrong direction?I want to call out to them, but there could still be enemies around here somewhere. Instead, I lower my head to the ground. If I can find even a trace of their scent, then that’ll lead me in the right direction. At first, nothing stands out to me, but after more searching, I find Dere
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
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 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 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
Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version CH102 - Kyla's POV
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.
