Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 114: Ben
Kristen's POV I wasn't expecting to barge into Ben's coronation when I arrived at Alpha Gregory's mansion. The situation at hand is something I won't even wish for an enemy because I've never felt so humiliated in my white life before.Over a thousand people from the Green Valley pack are staring at me with wide eyes because they weren't expecting to see me look like a pregnant, starved rogue.Had I known, I would have stayed out in my room. But the more I stayed there, the more it felt like the whole place lacked ventilation, and if I didn't leave, I would die. So I had to run away. Because staying there reminds me of Calhoun. How he tried to plead with me to listen to him and trust him. How he knelt on the floor and crawled to catch up with me. It was still so fresh that I kept seeing him there, staring at me with those eerily blue eyes that literally still pierce through my soul.Back to the present.There's a deafening silence as eyes keep growing wide in their sockets and jaws
Last Updated : 2023-09-17Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 115: Her Friends (I)
Calhoun's POV"Alpha Calhoun?" Her eyes are welled up in their sockets as she looks at me, something which gives out that she wasn't exactly expecting me to show up at her door."Have you seen Kristen?" I am almost out of breath as I question her because my wolf ran all the way here.And she shakes her head no in response."It's been a week, did she leave without giving you any idea about your whereabouts?" Maddy throws a swift shoulder glance back into the house, and I can hear voices which sound masculine.There's something fishy with the way she's looking at me right now, that I'm starting to think that Kristen is truly here. Along with who? The men's voices are different, showing that there are about two or three of them. My stomach churns."Alpha Calhoun?" Maddy looks at me innocently.And then I decide I will not turn back and head into the direction I came from when there's this tugging feeling within me that my mate is hiding here."Is there something else you'd like to ask m

Calhoun's POVShe's still dancing until I put my hand on her shoulder to stop her, and then she jumps on me, hooking her legs around my waist.Not again. I inwardly facepalm.I should be staying as far away from females as possible.First was Emilia and now Sarafina. Kristen's best friend."Hello, handsome," she slurs and I hurriedly pull her away from me.It takes a few minutes for me to drag her to a corner of the club so I can talk to her because of the blaring music."Where are you taking me?" Sapphire inquires."I need to talk to you," I tell her after sighing."Who are you?" She frowns when she asks.And the gasps when I take my hood off."Oh my god, Alpha Calhoun," she exclaims with her hands in her mouth.She's not so drunk after all. "Have you seen Kristen?" I let out the question that had been on my chest."No," Sapphire shakes her head before tapping on her chin thoughtfully, "it's been a week already."I sigh in distress at this, because it seems like I'm not getting anyw

Kristen's POV"Are you insane?" I meant what I said, father."It's Ben and his father, arguing. I'm on the West Wing but I can hear them arguing and it's giving me chills."How can you cancel the marriage when it's only a few days away? Maeve is to be your wife and Luna," His father yells at him.And I can feel my eyes growing huge in their sockets.Did Ben cancel his marriage with Maeve? Why in the seven hell would he even do that? Is this some sort of prank he's trying to pull?There are a few more things I can't hear because I have my ear pressed against the door.So this time, I unlock the door and silently open to listen to their argument."I'm sorry, I can't be with her," Ben says quietly.And my jaw drops to the floor."What has gotten into you?" Mr. Gregory yells at his son in utter disappointment."I love another," Ben hesitates before letting this out."What did you just say!?" Mr. Gregory raises his voice once more.And I flinch as if I sustained a whip in the back.Ben di

Calhoun's POV*Five hours ago.*"Oh my God, Calhoun," Natalie rushes to hug me and I just close my eyes in their sockets because I wasn't expecting this reaction from her.I wasn't expecting this from her after I made myself clear the last time she came to visit me at my office. But it seems like she's already having the wrong idea of what I'm here for. Shit."I can't believe you came for me at last," Natalie hugs me harder and buries her head in my neck, sniffing on my scent.Sniffing on me was a die-hard habit of hers, I don't push her away. I am waiting for her to get done and then I'll speak.Natalie… is she being delusional or something?How can she put up such high hopes upon seeing me, thinking I came for her? She hasn't been seeing anyone this whole time? It's been five months.Wait a minute, does this mean Kristen isn't here?"I thought I lost you forever, I cried myself to sleep when I recalled the good memories we had and even our wedding day," Natalie finally steps back
Last Updated : 2023-09-19Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 119: Alphas' Fight For Her
Calhoun's POV"I just received news that Kristen was seen at Ben's coronation," Bruce immediately announce upon seeing me show up at the door."What?" My eyes raised in their sockets."It's true," Bruce continues before abandoning his sketch work.He rises to his feet and approaches me, "A few people from our pack happened to be around during Ben's coronation and they said Kristen barged in the middle of it." He concludes."When?" I inquire because I don't want to think this is an expensive joke."Yesterday," Bruce responds."Shit," I rub my palm on my face and sigh.Why in God's name would she go to Ben, upon knowing he has feelings for her?Wait a minute, does she want to be with him now? Ben has always wanted her for himself, so he would probably fill her head with lies about me. And Kristen, who thinks I am a liar and a cheat, might even believe him. Images of Ben and Kristen together flash through my brain, tormenting the absolute shit out of my senses.And at this, I know I ca
Last Updated : 2023-09-19Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 120: Kristen
Kristen's POV"What do you want from me, Calhoun?" I ask, in a dangerously low tone."Do you know how scared I was when I learned that you went missing?" Calhoun has so much concern in his eyes that I can feel my breath getting caught up in my throat.Why does he have to look this way? It would have been better if he was angry at me, yelling or something, so I could hate him. But he's doing none of that. And it just makes my insides soften.I want to stay mad at him for as long as I can, but having him look at me this way is just ruining my plans."I wasn't missing, I left by myself," my voice is firm."How could you do that, I was so worried for your sake," Calhoun nears my side but I just take a step back from him."Why should you be? Shouldn't you be focusing on your Emilia," I mutter with so much distaste.Calhoun looks away from me for some seconds, rakes his hair, and sighs."I don't even know how to start defending myself because you won't believe me," he looks back at me."Wha
Last Updated : 2023-09-20Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 121: Confrontation
Calhoun's POV"Alpha Dante is here to see you, Calhoun. He came with his men."I clench my jaw upon knowing what this means.I feel reluctant to leave because, from the way, Kristen just looked at me with her eyes softening, it's almost like she wants to listen to me. She's hurt but I can still see the love she has for me in her eyes."I'll be back," I tell her, before pressing a quick kiss to her head and taking my leave.Immediately I shut the door behind me, rage takes over my whole being."He's in the second hall waiting for you. Emilia is present as well. And from the onlook of things, they mean trouble." Bruce adds.I don't respond to this, instead I side-step Bruce and take the stairs that lead to the second hall.Upon reaching there, I see them all standing like a gang with Alpha Morrison, and Emilia in front. The man has a deadly look on his face, something which doesn't even make me budge. And Emilia on the other hand is wearing her usual, sluttish smirk.I clench my jaw."

We've been trying to find a way to break it, but it's relentless."Gregory, the ever present pain in the assinterjects, "A curse? Are you serious? This sounds like nonsense.""It's the truth," I retort, frustration evident in my voice. "I've been trying to handle things, but it's not easy.
