Subduing the Alpha CH79 - Kai's POV
I get dragged along to the meeting spot in the middle of the passway. The alpha has no plans to hand me over, but I know he will use me as a shield against the two. Several of his warriors come along with him, as well as a scout or two.The alpha pauses within five feet of Cedric and Dereck and nods to his scout. “Make sure they’re not hiding anyone nearby,” he orders with a low growl in his throat.Dereck and Cedric allow the scout to go past them, though they look tense. I wish I could convince them to forget me, but part of me knows they won’t listen to me. I still have to try though.With as much energy as I can muster, I ignore the feel of my dry mouth and throat and croak out, "leave me... here. Go back... Anita. This... trap."The alpha yanks on my chain and kicks my hands with his boot. "Silence!" He snarls at me and then smirks when he spots me whimpering. I force myself to look at my lovers. They're pissed off at the alpha's actions but have ignored my pleas for them to leav
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
