CH59 - Kai's POV
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The 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

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.
Subduing the Alpha CH61 - Kai'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 CH62 - Cedric's POV
Being pinned against the wall by my mate surprised me at first. I never thought he would ever get the best of me. Yet he 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. He looks so serious about being more in command of things, and I’m not completely against that if it means he is finally being honest about what he wants from me.Still, I think I can push him a bit more until he can admit the truth, not just to himself, but to me. It often takes a bunch of teasing and probing to make him confess his 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.Kai’s face flushes a soft pink hue as

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

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 CH65 - Kai's POV
With our clothes tossed to the floor, I can’t help but feel a little subconscious about being flush naked under Cedric’s body. We might have had sex the night before, but we are making love for the first time. It’s a strange revelation to me. I was going to be making love to Cedric and not just having sex with him.I took in a deep breath as I felt my body relax against his touch. He was as gentle as always, but this time, it felt different. This was sweeter, and softer and left me breathless each time his lips touched my skin. I could feel my body and heart giving in to each action so smoothly that I thought I might float away at any second.The lower his kisses trailed, the more alive my body felt, and this time, I lavished every moment of it. I didn’t want to hide how this has made me feel. If he could give everything up for me, then I’d give everything up for him. That’s how I felt.Through hooded eyes, I peered down

Last night gave me a small amount of hope that Kai was finally opening up to the idea of accepting me. He still wasn’t there yet, but I believed I was no one step closer to him figuring out the truth.Perhaps I should have given in and just told him the truth, but I decided to talk to Dereck about it first. He would know Kai’s mind better than I do. Though we haven’t had a moment alone since I woke up.Our last preparations had to be taken care of before we could finally go to war with the Fang-Claw pack. Now that our group was making our way towards the edges of our pack, I knew it wouldn’t be long until we set up camp.Our group was fairly large, but I decided to not take all of our warriors with us. Some had to remain behind in case someone else tried taking this moment to ambush the defenceless. I was sure Kai could rally the remaining pack members if anything like that were to happen, and I made it known to the remaining warriors to
Subduing the Alpha CH 67 - Kai's POV
I can’t stop thinking about my place in Cedric’s pack and what all of this means for me now. If I accept his mark, then I’ll never find my destined mate, and he will end up giving up on Anita, but will she give up on him? Can I really be so selfish and claim him all to myself?I said I wanted that, and he agreed, but now I’m second-guessing myself. I sigh as I wander around the packhouse. Nothing is set in stone yet, and that gives me time to mull over his offer in honesty. I want him, but at the same time, I’m afraid of claiming him.And what if this isn’t mutual? What if he claims and marks me, but won’t let me mark him? He mentioned nothing about that, so how am I supposed to take that?With Dereck gone with him, I can’t even talk to anyone about this. Can I truly live my life here? What if I accept and then my mate shows up? I won’t know it is them, but they’ll still know it is me, right? That&rsquo

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

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
