Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 13: A Jealous Mother
Kristen's POV "Kristen, wake up."The gentle shake on my shoulders flicks my eyes open to my mother staring down at me."Mom?" I breathe out, utterly confused because I'm on the bed and I have the sheet covers on me. I was dreaming about participating in the pack run, right?"You've been out for three hours," Mom looks away from me as she informs me of this, "You passed out after winning the pack runs."Suddenly images of me contesting for the pack run through my head and I can remember everything.Holy shit!I can't believe Alpha Calhoun left his position and ran to my side. I was weak but I can recall when he carried me in a bridal style.No. He did not. How could he do such a thing? Mom might even suspect a thing and his people on the other hand would think something is going on between the two of us. Alpha Calhoun married Mom yesterday, so there's no way a man and his stepdaughter would bond so fast.It's dark and the music from outside is enough to notify me of the pack run aft

But he's nowhere in sight."Just wait a little longer, he will show up," Bruce whispers to me and I nod in response.Calhoun's elders are still surprised to know that their Alpha has a mate and it's me, his Luna's daughter. Shame clouds me when my mind drifts back to what happened thirty minutes ago. Mom didn't raise a hand on me but she purposely smashed a glass cup against the floor and accused me of trying to seduce Calhoun.Her behavior is only a product of what happened at the pack run, if only she knows that we've not only gotten intimate but I am also his mate, she'll kill me.My impatience is getting the best of me, I want Alpha Calhoun to come here and reject me as quickly as he can. My mom's behavior is understandable but it instilled fear in me. I don't want her to get hurt because of me, upon knowing she won't hurt alone. She'd ensure I go through pains on

Calhoun's POV "You ought to be enjoying the honeymoon phase with your wife, not stick around like an unwanted guest. You should pass for a boil in the armpit." Nana Joyce casts me a suspicious look through her glasses."Ouch," I put my hand on my chest and feign sadness, "you hurt my feelings.""Cut me that crap and tell me why you've spent two nights here, Calhoun." The look on her face shows that she's not ready to listen to any excuses."I miss the good old days," putting my glass of wine on the table, I release a low breath and jam my fingers through my hair. It's not as if my response is a lie but it's far from the truth.Nana Joyce chuckles to herself before shaking her head at me."You know, that's not a very honest response. I am eighty-six and my wolf isn't agile like she was twenty years ago. We don't go out for runs anymore because I'm weak and you find me boring," she pauses to catch her breath before continuing."You built this mansion for me and put omegas at my beck and

Last Updated : 2024-10-29Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 17: Getting Ignored Hasn't Hurt This Bad
"Did you see the way Alpha Calhoun went after his stepdaughter? "Pst! Something's definitely going on between those two because he stopped several other guys from touching her while he carried her in his arms.""And he married Natalie the previous day. Who even acts like that around their wife's daughter?""It's clear he fancies Kristen. Natalie is 37, while he's just 31, six age gaps. So don't blame him if he's attracted to the young and youthful daughter."Having four women gossip about me, Alpha Calhoun and my mom is doing no justice to my mind. It's hair rising and scary because mom is hearing every single little thing and these women don't even know we're here. How can they gossip so loudly? Calling my mom old because she's ahead of her husband by a few years?On the other hand, I hate that I'm the center of the topic.Worse, Mom's face is calm but she's gripping onto the chairs so hard that I can see her nails digging into it. No one, not even her stylist can see this except m
Last Updated : 2024-10-29Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 18: Coming To Conclusion
CalhounNatalie didn't question my whereabouts. And I am surprised she didn't. Instead, she's in a happy mood and acts like nothing happened two days ago at the Greyhound pack run.We're inside our bedroom, kissing and trying to undress each other. But something doesn't seem right. The more I touch her, the more I want to be away from her as much as possible."Oh my god, I've missed this, Calhoun." She moans and angles her head backward, so her throat can be open for me to rain more kisses.From where she's seated on the table, she hooks her legs around my waist and grinds into me, moaning at the same time to arouse me but I'm not even hard downstairs.Images of myself in the rain with Kristen are stuck in my head right now, that's the only thing I can think about because I'm picturing her as Kristen. But her moans are rather dry and not soft like that of my mate. It's all shades of wrong to see her as her daughter due to the bitter truth that if I see her the way she is, I will be un

Calhoun's POV "Alpha Calhoun, my daughter has been missing for three days," sobs the middle-aged woman in front of me."Are you sure she didn't elope with a lover or something?" My eyes narrow in their sockets."No, Daisy doesn't even sleep out. She tells me of her whereabouts but it's been three days and she hasn't returned home. Her line isn't reachable.""How old is your daughter, again?""She's just twenty, Alpha Calhoun." Almost the same age as my mate, Kristen."Just return home, I'll have my men look into this and Daisy will be found," I assure her, meaning every word.The tearful woman nods and reluctantly takes her leave, while the guards shut the doors. Leaving just me and Bruce alone. It's been seven hours since my return and I went to the Greyhound council, especially to attend to pressing issues that have to do with my pack."Do you think the girl is alive?" Bruce inquires, stroking his chin."Maybe, maybe not," turning my head in his direction, I make this request, "Win

Because of how fast I was catching up, Mr. Rob even let me serve a few customers, something which I did without any protests. A few people noticed I was the Luna's daughter and they proceeded to ask questions like why I was there serving people when my stepfather was Alpha of the Greyhound pack. I just rewarded them with smiles.It's past ten now, and the diner has closed for the day so I stop to drink some water. But Matteo is already there and he's holding out a bottle of water to me."Thanks," I say after accepting the water from him."You're welcome," he winks at me and stares as I
