CH69 - Cedric's POV
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Something hasn’t been right since we launched our attack on the Fang-Claw pack. Although I can tell they were not expecting us, it seems highly strange that their alpha has not once come to fend us off. Was he away from the pack for some reason? A sneak attack from behind, maybe?
Yet my scouts always returned with no sightings of him. The only thing I could think of was that the alpha had been out with his scouts somewhere, but that he hadn’t returned yet was strange. As a precaution, I had one of my scouts return to my lands to check on them.
When they returned, they claimed everything was normal and there had not been a single sign of any enemies. I wasn’t sure what to make of this, and without the alpha being here, our attack didn’t mean too much. I had wanted to take him down, or at the very least, capture him as my prisoner.
Despite that downside, it meant we had shown his pack that we meant business and would not go easy on them for

The last few trees on the outskirts of the forest finally paved the way for the familiar lands that I once called home. The moment I saw the familiar small buildings my old pack once called home, I rushed forward. I know no one is going to be there to greet me, but it feels so good to see this place again.It was almost dark, as I had expected it to be, but I knew this place like the back of my hand. As I hastened my steps, I weaved through the old streets and made my way to the graveyard.It honestly surprised me how little this place had changed since I had been gone. Cedric hadn’t touched the place, which had been my fear when I first bowed down to his rule. Usually, a pack’s old land is repurposed or destroyed, but he did neither.Perhaps he had cared about me and the pack even since then? I couldn’t help but smile foolishly at myself. If that was the case, then I had feared him for nothing. Did he even plan on keeping me locked up for as l
Subduing the Alpha CH71 - Kai's POV
Quickly rushing to my feet, I half expected to see Cedric or Dereck coming up behind me, but the moment I saw the figure, my heart sank. This man was neither of them nor was he from any of the three packs.I could smell the scent of an alpha from him, and although I had never met him in person, I knew him to be one of our enemies. He wasn’t here to pursue peace or treaties. Though his exact intent was unknown, I could tell from his smirk that he was not here for pleasantries.This alpha was huge, probably larger than even Cedric was. This man’s face was covered in battle scars and he had the aura of intimidation surrounding him. I knew that if he started a fight, I would not survive the encounter unless he showed me mercy. And that was assuming he had any to give me.My heart pounded against my chest as I desperately tried to plan an escape route. The only problem was that I had no way of knowing if he had me surrounded or not.“I though
Subduing the Alpha CH72 - Dereck's POV
I’m not sure if we got the results Cedric had wanted, but the sneak attack hadn’t been a complete waste of time. We had shown the enemy we were a force not to be taken lightly and had even killed their beta in the scuffle.However, their alpha never once showed. That had made Cedric anxious, and we had agreed to return now that we had something to show for our actions.The moment we stepped foot into the packhouse, the omegas surrounded Cedric and showered him with praise and affection. I shook my head with a smile and glanced around the room. There was no sign of Kai yet, but knowing him, he was sulking about somewhere.Anita showed up not long after she heard us return and clung to Cedric as if her life had depended upon his return. Though now that I knew their relationship was nothing more than friends who had agreed to mate should they never find their true mate, it didn’t bother me with how close they were. Kai, of course, did not understa
Subduing the Alpha CH73 - Cedric's POV
Why? Why would Kai decide to leave now? Were we not making progress with him finally accepting me? And leaving Dereck behind like this? That wasn’t something I ever thought Kai would do, and I don’t think he had expected it either.There was no time to waste in finding and bringing back my mate before he did something so foolish. Before we went to fight, I should have told him. I should have not left things so vague! From what I had said to him, I thought he would figure it out! I thought he knew how much I loved him!The two of us shifted into our wolf forms as soon as we had left the packhouse. Dereck was swift and easily kept up with me, though even if he hadn’t been as fast, I wouldn’t have slowed down to wait for him. Kai was my top priority, and I needed to bring him back before he left me for good.For the life of me, I couldn’t understand why he would decide to do this!? It made no sense! Had someone said something to him wh
Subduing the Alpha CH74 - Kai's POV
I don’t know how long I had been unconscious, but the moment I woke up, I could feel my whole body aching all over. The next thing I noticed was the cold, hard floor on which they had dumped me.Slowly, I tried to get to my feet, but the pain in my chest caused me to gasp and fall back down. It would take a while before my body healed itself from the onslaught the alpha had rained down on me, but that was the least of my concerns now.I tried to focus my gaze so that I could see my surroundings. Everything was still blurry and the place they had put me in was dark. Eventually, my eyes adjusted to the surroundings and my heart sank.I was alive, but that was a trivial comfort to the prison I had now found myself in. There was no bed here, not even a toilet for me to use. There was nothing but the cold, hard floor and the thick bars of the cell.Slowly, I tried to at least sit up, but the sound of chains clanking alerted me to the fact that my fate wa
Subduing the Alpha CH75 - Kai's POV
My stomach growls loudly as I smell something tantalising from down the hall. At first, I forget where I am and groggily try standing up. It isn’t until the chains yank me back down that I remember.It’s been a few days now, and no one has come for me. It’s almost as though they’ve forgotten me here. Yet the smell is so good, that I wonder if they’re bringing me something to eat at last.As I try leaning forward, the chains around my neck, wrists and ankles all pull me back, preventing me from getting anywhere near the bars of my cell. I bite my lower lip, which has begun to bleed. I might be a werewolf and can last longer than a human without food and water, but I’m not immortal. My body is showing signs of giving in.At last, I hear someone’s feet tap, tapping on the floor. Though I make a bet with myself that they will not come this way, just like all the other false alarms.To my surprise, a pair of leather bo
Subduing the Alpha CH76 - Kai's POV
It feels like an eternity has passed me by in this Goddess-awful place with this bastard of a man. And yet, in reality, it has only been a few hours at most since the alpha showed up to visit me. I wish he would take the hint that I won’t give up any information that might put Cedric at risk.Slowly, the alpha walked around me. Each footstep was slow and deliberate. He had taken out a cigarette and lit the tip before inhaling. He kneeled in front of me again, blowing the smoke into my face, and causing me to cough.“Now,” he began. His voice was a gradual drawl. “Perhaps you’d like to answer an easier question?” As he spoke, he moved the hand with the cigarette towards me. I flinched, not knowing what he might do with it.A smile crossed the alpha’s lips, but he merely took the chain hanging from my collar and pulled me closer to his face. If I didn’t answer him, he would use that as an excuse to do something to me
Subduing the Alpha CH77 - Cedric's POV
I can’t believe it has taken us this long. My fear for Kai’s safety has only grown since we got that picture of him. Knowing he is at least alive gave me hope we could rescue him, yet there has been no progress in our attempts.I’ve been beside myself for hours. What could that man even want with Kai? He shouldn’t know who he is, or what he means to me. Though if he tortures Kai enough, he will probably learn the truth. When that happens, my enemy will do anything to make me surrender.“Alpha Cedric?”“Speak,” I say with a frown as I lift my gaze.The scout dips his head and says, “your beta said they have increased the guards around the known entrance into the prisons.” They pause and gaze down at the map before taking another pin and sticking it into a spot.I give him a puzzled look and utter, “explain.”“We got word from the enemy…” the scout says with some hesitation. “They’re willing to meet you here… the alpha, that is. He said you are to come alone… or with your beta, but no o

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
