All Chapters of Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“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 luna 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

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.

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 hesitan

I was so glad to know Kyla wasn’t harmed and that the alpha of this pack seemed more interested in merely belittling her with a change of title. However, I knew it couldn’t last long and that I needed to find a way for Kyla and me to escape or take over.I wasn’t too sure taking over would ever be an option for us. Kyla likely knew if we escaped, it would just be us and not the rest of the pack. Although she would be willing, I’m sure she would be hesitant in case Cedric threatened the remaining pack of hers.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 Kyla again. I would risk being found out, but I wanted to see her again. Kyla meant so much to me, and I

I wonder what has been keeping Cedric away for so long. After he came back this way, I was sure he would have come back up to annoy me. Yet there’s no sign of him at all. The guard this time is a woman, and she hasn’t looked at me once, yet remains firmly stood near the only stairway down out of this place.I wonder why Cedric picked a woman this time? He used male guards before, right? Or did he not put any thought into this, and I’m just speculating about things? He said I smelled divine, right? Maybe that’s why? She isn’t a risk because she’s female?I shrug and look absently out of the window again. I can see some of the pack members wandering around outside, enjoying the sun. Yet here I am, stuck inside. It’s nice to have more room, but this isn’t the same as being allowed to be out in the sunshine.I sigh and sit on the windowsill casually. I might not be allowed outside, but I can at least enjoy as much of i
