CH23 - Kai's POV
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.

The way Kai squirms against me drives me insane. I’m barely holding myself together at this point. Every ounce of my body is screaming to claim this man as my mate, but my heart knows not to force this. If I mark him as mine and he isn’t emotionally ready, I’ll cause resentment that may never wash away.“Do you want to stop?” I asked, my voice was hesitant. I know he will say that he never wanted me to do this in the first place, but I could never take Kai against his will.The look he gives me is one of scorn, but he quickly looks away, confliction clear in his eyes. Even though he doesn’t understand any of this, I can tell that his body feels the bond between us. He probably doesn’t feel it as much as I do, but there’s no mistaking it. His body knows what we are.“Then if you won’t refuse me, sleep with me tonight. We don’t have to fuck, but-” I pause. Can I really promise I won’t ravish him tonight if he shares a bed with me?Kai nibbles on his lower lip. He then leans his head bac

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 hesitantly nod. “Then just let yourself drown in that feeling. Forget everything else as nothing else matters,” he tells me, allowing his teeth to nibble on the

Last night had been… something I both never wish to remember, yet I know I’ll remember what happened for the rest of my life. Do I regret it? Abso-fucking-lutely! But I also… don’t?Cedric is still asleep, which I’m sort of thankful for. Who knows what kind of beast he will be when he wakes up? I try to ignore the memory of last night. How he turned me on until I couldn’t take it anymore, or how I became so needy for his touch.My cheeks flush hotly as I shake my head free of the lustful thoughts trying to sneak into my mind. We never went all the way, which I’m grateful for. However, I now realise one thing I got wrong last night.I’m not the one seducing him. He is the one seducing me!The bastard! Even in this, he overpowers me. I sigh and glance down at him. He looks so peaceful and content. It’s strange how he can look like an angel while asleep, but when awake, he has the devil’s tongue.Slowly, my gaze trails down from his face to his exposed chest. I bite my lower lip and admi
Subduing the Alpha CH27 - Dereck's POV
I was so glad to know Kai wasn’t harmed and that the alpha of this pack seemed more interested in merely belittling him with a change of title. However, I knew it couldn’t last long and that I needed to find a way for Kai and me to escape or take over.I wasn’t too sure taking over would ever be an option for us. Kai likely knew if we escaped, it would just be us and not the rest of the pack. Although he would be willing, I’m sure he would be hesitant in case Cedric threatened the remaining pack of his.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 Kai again. I would risk being found out, but I wanted to

When I was disturbed this morning, I wasn’t happy. This wasn’t as dire as I expected, but I still had to handle it. The scouts hadn’t seen the pack we handled the other day, but someone else had trespassed.Thankfully, my scouts had already captured them, so all I needed to do was head back to the prison and find out what it was they were doing on our land. With luck, this is just a rogue that found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.As I head towards the packhouse, I spot Kai looking out the window. He spots me and shoots a harsh glare, but otherwise, he doesn’t say or do anything to insult me.I flash him a charming grin and continue onwards towards the prisons. I don’t like to make use of them, but until I know who this person is and what they want, I can’t let them go.Part of me wishes I could spend all my day with Kai instead, but my alpha duties must come first. With a heavy sigh, I enter the prison

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? Is she already mated? Is that why she isn’t a risk?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 mu

By the time Cedric has returned, it’s almost late evening. He looks exhausted, and I half expected him to go straight to bed without bothering to see me. However, to my surprise, he pokes his head into my room and offers me a small smile.“Sorry,” he says, his words quiet. “You’re already eaten and everything, right? I wanted to make something for you, but my duty took more time than I was expecting.”I shrug. Although I try so hard to pretend I’m not bothered by his absence, the truth of the matter is that I am bothered. I’ve not stopped thinking about him and that woman, and I can’t understand why.“It’s not like I’m your mother,” I responded coldly. “Now, if you don’t mind, I’d like to shower so I can get ready for bed,” I tell him without looking at him too much.I don’t hear a response at first and assume he has left without a fuss. However, I

With my beloved's consent, I led Kai back to my room. He is as flustered as always, yet his body subconsciously seems to know that we’re destined to be together. I hope this is a sign that he’ll realise the truth soon.When that happens, I hope he will accept me and we can go through the mating ritual with no issues. I’ll continue to be patient until then, but I wonder if he will let me go all the way with him before then.So far we haven’t and I haven’t forced him into anything. Making sure he is comfortable is the most important thing to me. Even though my body yearns for it all now.As soon as we get to the bathroom, I release his hand and turn the shower on. If he wishes to change his mind and go, then now is his chance. I won’t force him to bathe with me, but if he stays and doesn’t protest, then I’ll take it as a sign that he is fine with this.I glance over my shoulder to study his expression. He look
