Subduing the Alpha CH20 - Kai's POV
Almost a week has gone by and Cedric still hasn’t returned. Dereck snuck in a couple more times since then, but we haven’t exactly had alone time, so nothing more has happened between us outside of a few kisses. Not that I am in any rush to sleep with anyone.The only issue is that I’m still stuck in this stupid room until he gets back. The cage might be gilded, but it is a cage all the same. I just wish I could have a small amount of freedom, but I guess that won’t happen. I might be stuck in this room forever.That’s not a situation I want to be in. Ever.As I fall back onto the bed and wait for lunchtime, I can’t help but wonder if I shouldn’t try to barge past the omegas if they bring my food this time. Or if I shouldn’t get Dereck to help me fight off the guard and we both try to make a break for it.Something has to change. I just need to figure out the best option to bring about that change. One where Dereck and I will not get ripped to shreds.Before I can think too deeply abo
Subduing the Alpha CH21 - Kai's POV
“As you all know,” Cedric says out loud as his gaze leaves me and trails over his pack. “Every pack has been in an uneasy truce for a little while now. Unfortunately, some of the other packs can’t help but desire more bloodshed.”I glance down at the ground with annoyance. He says that as though he didn’t force me to step down as the alpha of my pack and force me to be his personal omega! The hypocrite.“Ever since I came back to this pack, I’ve done my best to keep you all protected and safe from the others. Our pack is strong and proud and always has been,” Cedric continues. “However, that doesn’t mean we are not subject to the other pack’s desire for bloodshed.”I bite my lower lip and hold my tongue. I doubt this pack will enjoy me bad-mouthing their leader. However, I can’t help but think poorly of Cedric all the same.“For the last few days, we have fought back an attack on our border. We won, thank the Moon, but I doubt we have seen the last of this threat to our safety and our
Subduing the Alpha CH22 - Cedric's POV
As soon as I first saw Kai from my position on the stage, I knew he was worried about something. I didn’t want to hope it was me he was worried about, but part of me believed he did. That he laughed so harshly when I asked him about it actually hurt me. Not that I would admit to it.I can’t say I blame him much for resenting my actions. Keeping him locked away isn’t exactly very nice of me. I just didn’t want anyone else to swoop him up and claim him in my absence. I suppose I could just tell them all the truth, but then the truth may get back to him and that would likely scare him.Besides, I want to be the one to confess the truth to him, and I’ll do that when he is ready for it. Until then, I will keep everyone in the dark for just a little longer. At least, until he finally realises I can be trusted.As soon as we get back to the top floor where our bedrooms are, Kai heads toward his room. I grab him gently by the arm, holding him in place for a moment. “Aren’t you curious about w
Subduing the Alpha CH23 - Kai's POV
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.
Subduing the Alpha CH24 - Cedric's POV
The way Kai 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 man as my mate, but my heart knows not to force this. If I mark him as mine and he 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 he will say that he never wanted me to do this in the first place, but I could never take Kai against his will.The look he gives me is one of scorn, but he quickly looks away, confliction clear in his eyes. Even though he doesn’t understand any of this, I can tell that his body feels the bond between us. He probably doesn’t feel it as much as I do, but there’s no mistaking it. His 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’t ravish him tonight if he shares a bed with me?Kai nibbles on his lower lip. He then leans his head bac
Subduing the Alpha CH25 - Kai's POV
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 hesitantly nod. “Then just let yourself drown in that feeling. Forget everything else as nothing else matters,” he tells me, allowing his teeth to nibble on the
Subduing the Alpha CH26 - Kai'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.Slowly, my gaze trails down from his face to his exposed chest. I bite my lower lip and admi
Subduing the Alpha CH27 - Dereck's POV
I was so glad to know Kai wasn’t harmed and that the alpha of this pack seemed more interested in merely belittling him with a change of title. However, I knew it couldn’t last long and that I needed to find a way for Kai and me to escape or take over.I wasn’t too sure taking over would ever be an option for us. Kai likely knew if we escaped, it would just be us and not the rest of the pack. Although he would be willing, I’m sure he would be hesitant in case Cedric threatened the remaining pack of his.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 Kai again. I would risk being found out, but I wanted to

Subduing the Alpha CH105 - Kai'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. “Alpha Kai! Alpha Kai 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 sent to relatives or family friends should they have no living relatives left. After
Subduing the Alpha CH104 - Kai'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 an alpha, 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 Vukasin’s pack and finding out who would join us or continue f
Subduing the Alpha CH103 - Cedric's POV
I can hear Kai 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 Kai. 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. Kai must have done some damage, which I am thankful for. This should give us an edge in battle. In all honesty, I’m surprised Kai had the resolution to fight with Vukasin. It makes me proud of him, to see how far he has come as an alpha. Having the strength to get past his trauma and to fight an opponent stronger than himself is something he s
Subduing the Alpha CH102 - Kai'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 industrial bins that I had spotted
Subduing the Alpha 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 CH100 - Kai'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 to the elder and realised Rohn wasn’t doing well. We were all tire
Subduing the Alpha CH99 - Kai'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 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 him 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 Kai 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 Kai anywhere had me distracted. Was he safe? Or perhaps he 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 Kai get in trouble and they had gone to save him? Or was Kai the one trying to save them?I wanted to leave the fight to find
