Subduing the Alpha CH42 - Cedric's POV
I almost can’t believe what I just saw. Although the two don’t share a kiss when they depart, the looks that man gives my Kai and the way they’re holding hands makes me insanely jealous. I didn’t think the two were in any romantic situation with what I’ve learned from the two until now, but is this why Kai has been resisting me?I want to chase them both down, but for whatever reason, my legs don’t want to move. Besides, if I act too rashly, I might scare Kai enough that he’ll reject me without a second thought. I close my eyes and tighten my hands into fists. I need to calm myself down.What if I’m wrong? Kai mentioned nothing about having a lover. The two could just be close friends like me and my beta was. There’s no reason to believe they’ve done anything with each other. After all, before Kai met me, he had never been with a man. I’m sure of it.With that in mind, I slowly pace back and forth

I do not know what got into Cedric the last few days, but he has not left me alone. Even when one of his scouts summoned him outside of the packhouse, he sent someone else just so he didn’t leave me alone. He said it wasn’t an urgent matter, and one of his gammas could handle the issue just as effectively as he could have. Did Joey really trouble him that much? It’s not like anything happened, and Joey hasn’t tried to do anything to me since then either. In fact, Joey hasn’t even snooped around for the ‘scent’ so I’m not sure what Cedric is so paranoid for. Even when he has had no other option but to leave the main packhouse and gardens, he has forced me to either stay in the packhouse or have guards following my every movement. I thought I was gaining more freedom, but now I have less again. At least these guards all have mates and are safer to be around than those like Joey. The downside is this has meant me and Dereck haven’t been able to meet up, not even in secret. Anytime I g

It’s been a week now and I don’t know what I’m going to do about having Dereck so close to Kai. Those two always somehow sneak off together, though they haven’t done anything more than hold hands. At least so far. I’ve managed to interrupt them more times than I can count.I’ve thought of kicking Dereck out of the inner pack, but I have a feeling he will sneak in regardless of what I do to keep him away from my mate. Even if I did somehow do that, Kai would get irritable with me, and the little progress I’ve made with him will be for nought.I was going to use their friendship for my own ends, but realising these two are closer than I thought, has made me second guess myself. Why does my mate have to be such an idiot? Can’t he tell already that we’re destined to be together? Is this my fault for not outright telling him the truth?I wanted to just tease him a little, let him figure out the truth, and then we would become a mated pair and live out our lives as a family… but no. He has

Cedric was already gone by the time I had woken up, but that had only given me a small window to breathe. As soon as I came down the stairs, one of his omegas was already waiting for me. I don’t know who this one is, but she seems to be annoyed with her task of babysitting me. None of the omegas seems to like being around me all that much, although I can't think of why.Or maybe I can. I have been unreasonable towards them since day one. Perhaps even a little rude and unbearing, but that’s only because I never wanted to be dragged into this place and held hostage. Surely they can understand that?I offer her a small nod of greeting and glance around before asking, “where’s Cedric?”“The alpha,” the omega corrects me as she huffs. “And he’s dealing with a matter right now… he’ll be back,” she tells me, shaking her head. “Just go eat, or whatever…” she then mumbles, watching my every move.I give her the side-eye before slowly making my way to the kitchen. She follows me, but I can tell

I can’t believe they have dragged me into an early morning shift to help decorate the inner packhouse. Under any normal circumstances, it would have thrilled me to get inside. It would be a chance to sneak off and visit Kai. However, I can’t sneak off with how busy they’ve had me working.We’re almost done now, but some hiccups have caused us to have some delays and now we might not get done before the guests arrive. That’s when I notice an omega run in looking for someone - anyone who might pay her attention.I don’t have time to pay her too much attention and it isn’t my place to help the pack anymore, as I am a mere prison guard rather than the beta. However, after a while, she is gone again and in her place, Kai comes meandering in through the door.I don’t know what I’ve done to be so lucky, but I can’t help but get excited to see Kai. Although I need to keep it on the down low, I know what I need

Oh. Fuck. I can’t believe I just did that! Of all the things to do, I accidentally said Cedric’s name instead of Dereck’s. He has stopped kissing me and is now staring at me in disbelief. I have to think of something quick! “W-what? W-why did you stop?” I ask, trying my best to pretend I didn’t just mix up the names at all. I mean Cedric and Dereck sound alike, right? He won’t misunderstand, right? “You just called me-” “Dereck!” I call out his name, perhaps a little too loudly. He blinks at me with a perplexed expression. “I think I hear someone coming!” I lied. There’s no way he is going to believe me, not when he looks at me like this. I push Dereck off of me and quickly make my way to the door. My face is so hot that I know my fluster will be easy for anyone to notice. I need to get away from Dereck before he starts asking me questions. There is no way on the dark side of the moon that I can talk about the things Cedric does to me! Especia
Last Updated : 2022-09-30Subduing the Alpha CH48 - Dereck's POV
I’m too dumbfounded to even chase after Kai. He just called me Cedric and then tried to pretend he didn’t and fled. Why did he call me the alpha’s name instead of my own? Is this why Kai has been acting so strange ever since coming here? Has Cedric said or done something to him?The more I think about everything that I’ve noticed lately, the odd question about scents, the more I need to sort this out. I take a deep breath in and calm my frustrations as much as I can. If I accuse Cedric of forcing himself on Kai and it turns out I am wrong, then he will not only know we have been sneaking around behind his back but who knows what else he will do?There has to be an explanation for this, and I need to get to the bottom of it. I can’t act jealous or rash right now. If this is all a misunderstanding, then Kai needs me to stay safe and not risk the ire of the alpha. However, I can't just ignore this either. The fact that Kai ran off means there

At first, I was surprised that Dereck had figured out the truth so quickly, but in a way, I’m glad. There are a few ways I can use his love for Kai to my advantage, but this might mean I’ll have to accept a few things myself. For now, I don’t have time to worry about it.A new cake is brought to the packhouse. Though it isn’t the one I had wanted, the argument had gone on long enough and had been bad enough that the two idiots had caused a mess of the original. Next year I’ll get someone else to work on it.Thankfully, nothing else major has caused any setbacks to the preparations and our guests arrive with only a few minutes delay. Kai has been strangely quiet and hasn’t come downstairs at all yet. I haven’t had time to check on him, as alpha Caleb has kept me busy with his chit-chat.He was my father’s friend when they were children, but moved his pack away from the fighting. Although they only visit once a year,

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
