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

I knew I couldn’t leave without at least letting Dereck know I had gone, and that he should stay here with Cedric to help look after the whole pack. I couldn’t leave the note in Cedric’s bedroom, so I put it in what once was mine. I avoided giving a location of where I was going to go, as I only had one place in mind before I decided to leave these lands behind me. My heart ached, and part of me wanted to change my mind, rip the paper up and forget this entire plan. However, I knew I couldn’t remain here and let Cedric make such a terrible choice by giving up his destined mate. I’d be fine on my own. I could just become a rogue and live on my own somewhere, far away from everyone else. There have been others before me that have turned rogue, so how hard could it be? With a deep breath in, the only task I had left now, after packing and getting everything sorted out with that note, was to escape. I didn’t have any information on the outside of the packhouse, o
Subduing the Alpha CH69 - Cedric's POV
Something 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
Subduing the Alpha CH70 - Kai's POV
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
