Subduing the Alpha - Hetro Version

That warning howl has sent me into panic mode, but as soon as I feel Dereck’s hand on my shoulder, I realise I need to snap out of it. I’m scared, but I can’t let my pack down and freeze up. I need to be strong.At first, he just gives me this look of worry, but after a moment Dereck says, “Kyla, I am with you. No matter what happens, I’ll protect you. Not just because I am your beta, but because I care about you. I’ll let nothing happen to you. I promise.”It is now, with his words, that I realise I’ve been holding my breath still and let it out in a restless sigh. “I’ll protect you too, Dereck,” I reply, nodding my head firmly. “No matter what. Together, as always?”“Together as always,” he agrees, sharing a smile with me. I can’t help but think of how lucky I am to have a beta as trustworthy as he is. He isn’t just a pack member, but my best friend.“Let’s go then. Hopefully, this is just another small skirmish,” I whisper, but that anxious feeling just won’t leave me alone. As soo

From the moment he had taken down the two wolves who had attacked me, to when he stared me down, I knew right away who this wolf was. Or at least, knew what he was. He was an alpha and not one I could ever hope to win in a fight. He was large and fast, and his condescending tone made me want to bite his face off.I studied him carefully, his fur was a dark blackish-brown and his forest-green eyes stared me down in return.I might have been a luna, but just being there in his presence makes me feel inadequate. I avoided his gaze almost voluntarily from his alpha’s aura. Quickly enough, I realised I had no choice but to fight this man off. I had no one that would come for me. They had separated Dereck from me and I did not know if my pack had escaped or not.The only thought going through my mind when I lunged at this alpha was that I was going to suffer a slow, painful death, but maybe my pack would be safe for a little longer.The alpha easily avoids my lunge, which causes me to skid

As soon as she transforms into her human form, I can’t help but allow my eyes to roam all over her body. She is smaller than me, which I had expected just from her wolf form being smaller. Her black hair, hazel eyes and lightly toned chest are all eye-candy to me. How she tries to be modest almost makes it more sexual than I assume she had intended it to be. I can’t help but smile at myself. My mate is incredibly sexy even when she doesn’t realise she is. I almost have to pull myself out of a daze and hand her a single nightgown. “I am not sure if it will fit, but it is the smallest one I have,” I told her. Our fingers brush in the exchange, and it sends little tingles through them. I step behind Kyla and look at her back and arse up and down. I get the urge to fuck her but resist it. “How old are you?” I ask her instead. “E-eighteen,” Kyla replies, confusion filling her voice. I hum thoughtfully before watching her don my nightgown. It is not a good fit, but for now, it’ll do.

Seeing Kyla’s reaction to my kiss really pleased me. She might not admit it, but there is no denying that she enjoyed it. If only she was ready for me to tell her the truth. She isn’t there yet, though. If I told her now, she would deny it, if not flat-out reject me. I don’t think I could take rejection. She is too cute to let her reject me like that. I’ll have to show her we belong together, that we need one another. Not sure how yet though. There must be a way, but I'll have to be patient and gentle with her. Gain her trust. Somehow, someway, I'll show her. As I leave the packhouse, I join the rest of my pack in helping settle down our new pack members. There is a bit of work to do, but I’m glad I got to this pack before any of the others realised just how weak they had become. Not that my mate is weak in and of herself, I can see she has a will to fight in her. It is just compared to the other packs. Her pack has just become too small to survive. I sigh as I oversee the new memb

I wish I could bring Kyla with me and show her off to everyone in my pack, but right now I can’t guarantee she won’t try to run off at the first opportunity. It doesn’t seem fair to keep her locked up either, but what choice do I have right now? Then there are the other pack members. A girl like him would be instantly popular with the guys and unpopular with the women for being near me but not as my mate - even though she is. They annoy me enough as it is, but another leader that they can try their luck with? No way on the Moon will I ever let them near her without me around to protect her! It’s heartbreaking to be away from her, even if I haven’t gone far, but this additional matter needs my attention now. She probably isn’t happy with being locked up in her room, but I’ll make it up to her as soon as I get back. As I step into the war room, I cast my gaze over my warriors. “What’s the damage?” I ask, my tone taking on a more serious note. None of my warrior
