Subduing the Alpha CH81 - Cedric's POV
I almost don’t believe my own eyes, ears and touch. I finally have my mate back. That is what I thought at first, but within seconds, Vukasin had caught up with us. He always had been swift-footed, even in his human form.As soon as I saw Kai thrashing out at him, I knew he had regained some will to free himself. I had been fearful at first, thinking Vukasin had broken his spirit. I couldn’t let Vukasin do anything more to my mate, and this time, I was determined to protect him.Eventually, Vukasin took this fight seriously. Tormenting a chained-up prisoner wasn’t exactly challenging, but defending himself from two foes almost as equal in strength as him was a much harder issue to deal with in his human form.As soon as he changed into his wolf form, I knew he wouldn’t bother with Kai now. He would focus everything on me so that he could win. I wasn’t about to let him. Allowing him to beat me was not an option. He would slaughter ev
Subduing the Alpha CH80 - Kai's POV
With Cedric throwing threats around, I quickly notice the bodyguard and the alpha have become distracted. If I’m going to get out of this alive and stop being a liability for my loved ones, then I need to act now. Since I’m already on my side, I don’t have to move much to carry out my plan. That way, I won’t get noticed until I’ve hit the alpha in a spot that should slow him down just enough. I just hope these chains give me enough reach to pull it off. I bring in my knees, making it appear as though I’m just cowering. I don’t have the strength to fight, or the ability to move all that quickly, but I can still move enough that I’ll get just out of reach and provide the distraction my lovers need. When I’m sure no one is paying attention to me, I kick out both feet at once and hit the alpha right where it hurts - in his family jewels. He curses at me, but the pain is more than enough for him to curl up and let the chains go as he holds his precious cargo in pa
Subduing the Alpha CH82 - Cedric's POV
As we return home, I hold Kai close to my chest. He must have been through so much and I can’t help but notice how much lighter he has become. Did that bastard starve him on top of everything else? That my poor mate is full of wounds and burns tells me all that I need to know.I can hear him breathing softly. A sign that he is still alive, but exhausted enough to have fallen asleep. I’m just glad we had been victorious in at least this much. Had we not saved him, what would his fate have been?Finally, we make it back to our home and, although the pack is anxious and mournful from the loss of life, they still offer congratulations on the victory. I wish I could tell them the threat from Vukasin was over at last, but the truth of the matter was that as soon as he recovered, he would be even worse than before.As we entered the packhouse, Anita rushed over to us. “He needs medical attention!” She claimed and motioned for me to follow. &ldqu
Subduing the Alpha CH83 - Kai's POV
The sound of songbirds fills my ears as my eyes flicker open. That I feel warm and safe is something I thought I would never experience again. Yet here I am, in the place I should have been all this time. I’m not sure how long I was unconscious, but I feel well enough to move around. My body is still sore, but it could have been much worse had Anita not helped look after my wounds. Now that I’m safe, my body now has the time to repair itself. Glancing beside me, I realise I’m alone and have been all night or however long it has been. Part of me is thankful for that, but the other, louder half of me is fearful that this is all just a dream and I’m still locked away. “C-Cedric?” I call out, “D-Dereck?” It doesn’t take long for me to hear the scrambling of two lots of feet rushing down the hall. As soon as they appear in the room with me, I know this isn’t a dream and I really am safe. I can’t help but weep. Not out of sadness, but out of pure relief. “Kai!? What’s wrong? Are you sti
Subduing the Alpha CH84 - Kai's POV
I still don’t know how I missed so many signs and all of Cedric’s hints about me being his destined mate. Was that why they always said it wouldn’t be known until you were twenty? Because eighteen-year-olds were just too brash? Or was that just a problem I had?Watching Dereck leave, I couldn’t help but feel bad. He loved me so much, but the Moon had not given me to him. I still loved him, but accepting Cedric was important to me. And I was convinced keeping all of this a secret from me must have been troublesome too, and not just because of me. Then again, Dereck scolded both of us, so it’s not like he can’t handle us simultaneously.“He’ll be fine,” Cedric whispers into my ear before leaning down to kiss my neck. I felt a shiver run through my body at the sensation. I wasn’t sure if I could satisfy Cedric in the state I was in, even if I had healed a bit.“I know,” I replied, suddenly real
Subduing the Alpha CH85 - Dereck's POV
Even though I had agreed to leave them alone, I didn’t wander far from the bedroom. I wanted to be there for when they were done, as we had so much to talk about now that they were finally accepting one another’s roles within this pack of ours.I could hear them decently enough from where I stood, and part of me longed to be included. However, this moment was not like the others, and I knew there was no place for me during the mating ritual. Kai and Dereck might even become territorial against me without meaning to, so it is best I avoid anything that could set off their natural instincts.As soon as the bedroom was quiet again, I listened out for any signs that those two were still awake. I didn’t think either of them would have done anything too taxing because of Kai’s wounds, but who could say if they had the smarts to take precautions?“You can come in,” Cedric’s voice mumbled from within the room. He must have heard
Subduing the Alpha CH86 - Cedric's POV
I wasn’t sure what gifts I should bring to let this pack know I truly wanted their aid and peace between our packs. However, with Dereck’s suggestions, we have a few things they will have at least some use for.The journey there was slow at first. Kai’s wounds had healed mostly, but he had become slower and needed to eat more often than usual just to keep up his strength. At least he had made progress since we first rescued him, and Anita had assured us that Kai would make a full recovery if given enough time.I was still worried about him coming with us. There was no way he could fight against anyone like this, but he refused to stay behind this time. I couldn’t deny his request after promising he could come with us, so we made do with how slowly he needed to go.What should have been a day or two’s journey turned into almost a week of travelling. Finally, Dereck alerted us when we neared the borders of his deceased mate’s pa
Subduing the Alpha CH87 - Kai's POV
When Dereck requested cookies, it surprised me. Never did I take him for a man with a sweet tooth. However, when the cookies had been delivered, I understood why he liked them so much. I took another one and nibbled into it in delicious silence.I was quite happy to let Dereck and Cedric do most of the talking, though now and then, I made my own opinions known. Some topics made me want to throw up - most of those topics were the things that the bastard of an alpha did to me or would do to others if he ever won against the rest of the packs.I had known some of the topics wouldn’t be things I could take part in, but I still wanted to do my duty as an alpha. No matter how minor my participation was. I knew with those two beside me, I could start small and work my way up until I regained my confidence.“We do have a question, however,” Rohn said as he watched the three of us curiously. “What do you plan to do with the other packs once you ha

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
