CH35 - Kai's POV
As soon as the morning sun hits my face, I feel every ounce of embarrassment wash over me. I hate how easily I give in to that man. Although he never went all the way with me, he still made me moan and writhe under his every touch.
I wish I could vanish under a rock and never come out again. However, I’m not so lucky. I’m stuck here in this place. No wonder my body and mind have gone mad. I need to get out of these four walls and get some fresh air. That would bring back logic to my brain.
However, I am ever the prisoner here.
I feel Cedric’s arms pull me into his hold, and I don’t fight it. Wasting energy on futile things is no longer something I can be bothered with. If he wants to hold on to me, then fine. I’ll endure it. He’ll only get his way in the end, anyway. Right?
I steal a sneaky glance at him from behind my hands and blush even more. Why do I keep finding him so handsome? I should hate him. Loath him for all

I almost cannot believe my eyes. Kai is out of the packhouse and wandering around in the gardens. Though he isn’t alone, which means I can’t speak to him. I’m honestly surprised Cedric has allowed him outside of that room. Is this a sign Kai has submitted to his rule finally?As I sneak closer, I study Kai’s expressions. He doesn’t look obedient to me, but he doesn’t seem like he is ready to flee. He must be biding his time and hoping to get some freedom before he can plan our escape. I’ve gotten a better lay of the land outside of these walls, which means if we attempt a getaway today, he would need to rely entirely on me.While doable, he may want to wait longer. Especially given that Cedric hasn’t left him alone at all. There’s no way we can escape with him nearby. Even if we ganged up on him, he is a formidable foe and can rally his pack against us. And I know my Kai would prefer to escape without bloodshed.It feels like Cedric will never leave Kai’s side, as they spend almost an
Subduing the Alpha CH37 - Cedric's POV
I’m glad I could get all my work done quickly today. I wish I could have taken Kai with me so that he could learn how I do things around here, but I didn’t want to risk him to the others who have yet to find their mate. That no one has tried to jump him yet is only because of my quick thinking. I’m not sure what surprises me more. That my mate ended up being Kai, or that an alpha can also smell so good. I assumed only omegas could go into heat. Or females who have found their mates… but another alpha? I spot Kai close to where I left him and hasten to be beside him once more. I almost want to kiss him in the open, but I can already tell by the scowl on his face that such an act of affection will not be appreciated. Instead, I stand as close to him as I can physically get without Kai rejecting me outright. “Did you enjoy being outside?” I ask with a small smile. I’m sure he would have preferred more freedom, but for now, this is all I can give him without risking someone from my pack
Subduing the Alpha CH38 - Kai's POV
I still can’t believe he did that! And almost got caught, too. Is he mad? I’ve never met a man who would openly flirt like that with their prisoner. Granted, I’ve never been a prisoner to anyone else or had any myself, but this is beyond anything I can understand!I wait for my face to cool off, but even then I can’t say or do anything. Not with the omega here in front of us. She has said nothing, so maybe she didn’t see him, but if she has, then she might spread this around!What if Dereck hears about it?That would be my worst nightmare! I don’t want him to misunderstand the situation at all. So he can’t know that my body gives in to Cedric’s touches like that. Thankfully, all Cedric did was something minor, but he may even take something as simple as this the wrong way!I gulp hard and sneak a glance at Cedric. He has this amused look on his face again, and all I can think about is that I’m glad he
Subduing the Alpha CH39 - Cedric's POV
With Kai back in the safety of his room, and completely worn out from a quick make-out session, I return to the training grounds. I had hoped to train with Kai, but with him smelling so good, and with Joey around, I didn’t want to risk anything.I could have trained him in the packhouse meeting hall instead, but my people might question me about it. I don’t use the hall unless training outside is impossible. Even rain wouldn’t usually stop me.Joey is one of my more trusted men, but he has always enjoyed being free to experiment with both men and women. That is why I can’t let him be too close to my Kai. I don’t want to risk him trying to fuck my man. I wish he would find his mate already, but for now, I’ll have to keep him at a safe distance.This is becoming a more complicated issue than I expected, but so far it is only him I need to worry about. At least, I hope it is only him I need to plan for. With a heavy sigh, I scan
Subduing the Alpha CH40 - Dereck's POV
When he wanted me to fight him and not hold back, I thought my luck had run out. I thought he had figured me and Kai out… or at least me out. However, it seems he hasn’t yet gathered why I wanted to get a job within the packhouse, but not as one of his dominant warriors.I was going to hold back at least a bit, but with that order to not hold back, I couldn’t deny the request. Normally, the alpha’s voice would force anyone to obey the command, but for me, it was a matter of dignity.The alpha had put forth the challenge, knowing I had hidden my true talents. Of course, he would find out eventually and want to test me. Lying to him so bluntly would have made my predicament worse. I’m just thankful he has let me remain in the jailhouse as my job.The downside is now he knows I am Kai’s beta. He will watch me closely now, I imagine. Or get someone else to watch me. Perhaps he will try to use me to make Kai’s life a living
Subduing the Alpha CH41 - Kai's POV
When Dereck mentions the potential to kill Cedric, I feel a sharp pain in my heart. For whatever reason, I don’t think I can ever bring myself to kill that fool of an alpha. I know I may not get the choice if it comes down to a fight, but that doesn’t mean I would kill him in cold blood. I just don’t understand why I feel this way. That man has been nothing but a pain in my side since we met. First, he kidnapped me and my pack, then he de-ranked me and now he sexually hounds me whenever he is in the mood. With a glance at my feet, I realise he also does so when I get in the mood. Is that because of how I smell to him? What if Dereck can smell me too? Peering up at him, Dereck doesn’t seem phased by me at all. Though is that because my body isn’t feeling rowdy right now? I can’t tell if that’s the case or if it is something else entirely. For now, I push those thoughts aside. As long as no other men are around me when I smell ‘good’, then I’ll be safe. Or as safe as this place can be
Subduing the Alpha CH42 - Cedric's POV
I almost can’t believe what I just saw. Although the two don’t share a kiss when they depart, the looks that man gives my Kai and the way they’re holding hands makes me insanely jealous. I didn’t think the two were in any romantic situation with what I’ve learned from the two until now, but is this why Kai has been resisting me?I want to chase them both down, but for whatever reason, my legs don’t want to move. Besides, if I act too rashly, I might scare Kai enough that he’ll reject me without a second thought. I close my eyes and tighten my hands into fists. I need to calm myself down.What if I’m wrong? Kai mentioned nothing about having a lover. The two could just be close friends like me and my beta was. There’s no reason to believe they’ve done anything with each other. After all, before Kai met me, he had never been with a man. I’m sure of it.With that in mind, I slowly pace back and forth
Subduing the Alpha CH43 - Kai's POV
I do not know what got into Cedric the last few days, but he has not left me alone. Even when one of his scouts summoned him outside of the packhouse, he sent someone else just so he didn’t leave me alone. He said it wasn’t an urgent matter, and one of his gammas could handle the issue just as effectively as he could have. Did Joey really trouble him that much? It’s not like anything happened, and Joey hasn’t tried to do anything to me since then either. In fact, Joey hasn’t even snooped around for the ‘scent’ so I’m not sure what Cedric is so paranoid for. Even when he has had no other option but to leave the main packhouse and gardens, he has forced me to either stay in the packhouse or have guards following my every movement. I thought I was gaining more freedom, but now I have less again. At least these guards all have mates and are safer to be around than those like Joey. The downside is this has meant me and Dereck haven’t been able to meet up, not even in secret. Anytime I g
