Subduing the Alpha CH44 - Cedric's POV
It’s been a week now and I don’t know what I’m going to do about having Dereck so close to Kai. Those two always somehow sneak off together, though they haven’t done anything more than hold hands. At least so far. I’ve managed to interrupt them more times than I can count.I’ve thought of kicking Dereck out of the inner pack, but I have a feeling he will sneak in regardless of what I do to keep him away from my mate. Even if I did somehow do that, Kai would get irritable with me, and the little progress I’ve made with him will be for nought.I was going to use their friendship for my own ends, but realising these two are closer than I thought, has made me second guess myself. Why does my mate have to be such an idiot? Can’t he tell already that we’re destined to be together? Is this my fault for not outright telling him the truth?I wanted to just tease him a little, let him figure out the truth, and then we would become a mated pair and live out our lives as a family… but no. He has
Subduing the Alpha CH45 - Kai's POV
Cedric was already gone by the time I had woken up, but that had only given me a small window to breathe. As soon as I came down the stairs, one of his omegas was already waiting for me. I don’t know who this one is, but she seems to be annoyed with her task of babysitting me. None of the omegas seems to like being around me all that much, although I can't think of why.Or maybe I can. I have been unreasonable towards them since day one. Perhaps even a little rude and unbearing, but that’s only because I never wanted to be dragged into this place and held hostage. Surely they can understand that?I offer her a small nod of greeting and glance around before asking, “where’s Cedric?”“The alpha,” the omega corrects me as she huffs. “And he’s dealing with a matter right now… he’ll be back,” she tells me, shaking her head. “Just go eat, or whatever…” she then mumbles, watching my every move.I give her the side-eye before slowly making my way to the kitchen. She follows me, but I can tell
Subduing the Alpha CH46 - Dereck's POV
I can’t believe they have dragged me into an early morning shift to help decorate the inner packhouse. Under any normal circumstances, it would have thrilled me to get inside. It would be a chance to sneak off and visit Kai. However, I can’t sneak off with how busy they’ve had me working.We’re almost done now, but some hiccups have caused us to have some delays and now we might not get done before the guests arrive. That’s when I notice an omega run in looking for someone - anyone who might pay her attention.I don’t have time to pay her too much attention and it isn’t my place to help the pack anymore, as I am a mere prison guard rather than the beta. However, after a while, she is gone again and in her place, Kai comes meandering in through the door.I don’t know what I’ve done to be so lucky, but I can’t help but get excited to see Kai. Although I need to keep it on the down low, I know what I need
Subduing the Alpha CH47 - Kai's POV
Oh. Fuck. I can’t believe I just did that! Of all the things to do, I accidentally said Cedric’s name instead of Dereck’s. He has stopped kissing me and is now staring at me in disbelief. I have to think of something quick! “W-what? W-why did you stop?” I ask, trying my best to pretend I didn’t just mix up the names at all. I mean Cedric and Dereck sound alike, right? He won’t misunderstand, right? “You just called me-” “Dereck!” I call out his name, perhaps a little too loudly. He blinks at me with a perplexed expression. “I think I hear someone coming!” I lied. There’s no way he is going to believe me, not when he looks at me like this. I push Dereck off of me and quickly make my way to the door. My face is so hot that I know my fluster will be easy for anyone to notice. I need to get away from Dereck before he starts asking me questions. There is no way on the dark side of the moon that I can talk about the things Cedric does to me! Especia
Subduing the Alpha CH48 - Dereck's POV
I’m too dumbfounded to even chase after Kai. He just called me Cedric and then tried to pretend he didn’t and fled. Why did he call me the alpha’s name instead of my own? Is this why Kai has been acting so strange ever since coming here? Has Cedric said or done something to him?The more I think about everything that I’ve noticed lately, the odd question about scents, the more I need to sort this out. I take a deep breath in and calm my frustrations as much as I can. If I accuse Cedric of forcing himself on Kai and it turns out I am wrong, then he will not only know we have been sneaking around behind his back but who knows what else he will do?There has to be an explanation for this, and I need to get to the bottom of it. I can’t act jealous or rash right now. If this is all a misunderstanding, then Kai needs me to stay safe and not risk the ire of the alpha. However, I can't just ignore this either. The fact that Kai ran off means there
Subduing the Alpha CH49 - Cedric's POV
At first, I was surprised that Dereck had figured out the truth so quickly, but in a way, I’m glad. There are a few ways I can use his love for Kai to my advantage, but this might mean I’ll have to accept a few things myself. For now, I don’t have time to worry about it.A new cake is brought to the packhouse. Though it isn’t the one I had wanted, the argument had gone on long enough and had been bad enough that the two idiots had caused a mess of the original. Next year I’ll get someone else to work on it.Thankfully, nothing else major has caused any setbacks to the preparations and our guests arrive with only a few minutes delay. Kai has been strangely quiet and hasn’t come downstairs at all yet. I haven’t had time to check on him, as alpha Caleb has kept me busy with his chit-chat.He was my father’s friend when they were children, but moved his pack away from the fighting. Although they only visit once a year,
Subduing the Alpha CH50 - Kai's POV
The sound of people laughing and having a good time fills my ears. I must have worked myself up into an emotional wreck, as I don’t know when the party downstairs must have started. I had never noticed people arriving until now.How long had they been partying without me realising it? I still have figured nothing out, but no one has come to look for me either. I wonder if that is a sign that Dereck has said nothing to anyone about what happened. Or hasn’t spoken to Cedric at least?I bite my lower lip and force myself to my feet. I don’t want to go down there looking like a mess, but I’m getting hungry and I need to deal with this issue at some point. A party would be a suitable cover to sneak off, and it’s not like I can hide from Dereck forever.I take notice of my puffy face and red eyes. Sighing, I wash my face and do what I can to freshen up a bit. There’s not a lot I can do, but I doubt anyone will pay me any attention.
Subduing the Alpha CH51 - Kai's POV
At first, the silence between us is deafening. However, once we’ve found a more secluded place away from the party, she finally breaks the silence between us.“You’re not originally from this pack, are you?” She asks, her friendly smile only serving to annoy me further. I do my best to hold back whatever emotions are welling up inside of me. “What’s your name?”“Kai,” I tell her. “And you are…?”“Nice to meet you. I’m Anita,” she responds and then leans in and gives me a good look over. “Oh! You must be that other pack’s old alpha. Right? I heard a little about your pack’s situation! Probably for the best. You don’t look as strong as my Cedric. The other packs would have wiped you out!”I hold back a snarl, but my nose still twitches in annoyance. Yet what upsets me more isn’t the insult of how strong or weak I look, or how easily
