Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 141: Game Of Alphas (VI)
Calhoun's POVI have never seen anyone so scared for my sake. Had I known Kristen had the intent of coming here today, I would have tied her and locked her up if possible. The fear in her eyes is enough to make me weak but on the contrary, it strengthens me to do more.I passed the stage of swimming with sharks and managed to pass two more stages. Some Alphas who weren't brave enough to continue deliberately failed so they would get disqualified, upon figuring the game was getting horrible. Being the Alpha of Alphas required a lot. Climbing through nets that have hard sharp hooks underneath. Falling off led to death, because the hooks were soaked with black bane poison. The fifth round was more of a puzzle, jumping and sliding to avoid barbells.A few Alphas got their bones broken, and lost their front teeth. So far, five Alphas have died. It's a great loss to their packs and families but these Alphas already knew what they were getting into from the beginning. Ben Gregory, the ann

Kristen's POV"I can explain," my voice is low when Calhoun stops in front of Aiden's crib.Our son is fast asleep but the cut above his eye is close enough to show that the fall could have made him blind. He seems so pure and troubled even in his sleep. And I don't want to think of the times he's cried, yearning for my presence. It's an hour after the Game Of Alphas, and we arrived home like this. Calhoun is still very much shirtless, his bleeding has stopped but he still has the bruises. Mostly on his face"You caused this," Calhoun's voice is quiet with accusation but his gaze is still fixated on our sleeping son, and I can't fail to notice how he's clenching and unclenching his jaw."You never should have left him," Calhoun continues."I know and I'm so sorry," I plead, hating myself for the umpteenth time tonight.And Calhoun shifts his gaze to me, before shooting me a flat look that swiftly forms knots in my stomach."Being sorry changes nothing, our son is hurt because you lef

Kristen's POVToday is my first time alone with Nana Joyce, she requested I have lunch with her earlier, and I couldn't say no to her. She's Calhoun's grandmother, after all, I ought to learn from her. The old me would have been unsettled when she made the offer but this new me is more than glad to sit and dine on the same table with her.We've never had enough time to sit down and discuss, we only saw each other during events and parties and exchanged pleasantries. Although I knew she was very uptight and strict. After feeding Aiden the last of his milk, I put him in a baby carrier and advance towards the large dining hall.Nana Joyce is already seated at the table when I show up. And it seems like she made the servants outdo themselves because the table has a little feast set up for lunch."When was the last time you heard from your mother?" Calhoun's grandmother barely waits for me to sit before bringing this up."On the day I gave birth to Aiden," a slight frown threatened to take

Calhoun's POV"Are you nervous?" Bruce nears my side that evening when the fifth hall is getting set up for Kristen's Luna rite."Don't ask me that, I'm not a preteen set to confront his first shift on a full moon," I hiss, clenching the glass of white wine.Bruce waits until the servants at our side finish hanging the wooden sticks of fire on our side before he continues."But this has to do with Kristen," he points out."Let's not talk about this," my voice is firm, leaving him enough hints to drop it. But it seems as though he's out to get on my last nerves tonight."Are you scared this will set you two apart?" Bruce pops this question as he covers my front with his body."I told you I don't want to talk about this," I am one step away from pinning him against a nearby wall."I've been your beta for six years, Calhoun and I've never seen you look this way. Not even when you compete in the Game Of Alphas," Bruce has an innocent look of concern on his face. Something I want to wipe of

Kristen's POVI've never seen Calhoun look so paranoid before, he's trying to convey his emotions with a frigid face but I can read right through him. He's my mate, I can feel his emotions at times.His palms are warm when he cups my cheek in them, and with the way his hard unforgiving mouth is quivering. And I can't resist the urge anymore.I stand on my toes and kiss him soundly in the mouth.With the way his large body tenses against mine, it shows that the kiss took him by surprise.Calhoun kisses me back but only for a few seconds, before withdrawing his lips from mine.I should be disappointed but I am not."Kristen…" his voice is a bit too rough when he calls my name. And I don't want to think about how angry he is for my sake. Earlier, I saw him smashing things up and screaming, he refused to even listen to Nana Joyce. But he stopped throwing a fit when he heard me call his name."Listen to me, Calhoun.." I close the distance between us and put my hands on his.But his eyes a

Kristen's POV It's hard to stay put at this point when I know the time for the Luna's rite is here. Something which has given me sleepless nights for the past two days.The hall is jam-packed with over a thousand people from our pack to witness this. And everyone is wearing modern outfits, save for me who's dressed like a woman in the 17th century.All eyes are on me, waiting to see what next will take place. They're watching me with caution as if I am a newly made sculpture, protected by a glass case at the museum. All their phones and tabs were seized from them so they wouldn't take pictures or film me as the ritual takes place, as it is forbidden.The Luna's rite was something that occurred three centuries ago in the Greyhound pack, so none of them were able to witness it. That's why everyone is eager for tonight, I am sure they've anticipated this for the past few days.With instructions from the big black book, two servants are holding each of my arms. Waiting for the right tim

Kristen's POVOnce again, the maids from before near my side, and they take hold of my arms and lead me towards where Elder Festus is standing, holding the tray of what I am about to eat. The bull's heart and testicles. Signifying that the main dreadful Luna's rite is about to begin.The bull's heart and testicles wouldn't have been so gross if they were cooked. But they're fresh, still bloody. And I ground my teeth to keep from gagging. It takes enough courage within me to stand in front of such a nauseating sight. "You know as it goes," Elder Festus says."Yes," I reply, after wiping the blood from my face."Are you ready, or do you need a few minutes to prepare?" Elder Festus inquires.And I hesitate before replying, "I am ready, sir."He gives me a firm nod and then holds out the tray."Take and eat from it, Kristen. You're to finish everything on this tray."Quietly, I nod.My hands are shivering as I stretch them out to take the bull's testicle. And not a single sound is made

Kristen's POVI stop when I am halfway through finishing the bull's heart, I do it because if I keep going, I will be unable to keep myself from throwing up. This is one of the most tortuous experiences I've ever had, except the time I was kidnapped by Jack the Rogue Psycho and got tortured and manipulated by him.My nipples are all itchy and aching, and it's the first time I have had such an experience. The gust of wind through the large windows is drying up the bull's blood on my body.Aiden's cries have lessened to cooing, and the audience is still waiting for me to continue.The Luna's rite is a lot more barbaric than I predicted. Had I known, I would have practiced eating fresh testicles before today, and maybe I would have mastered the art of eating them. But I was too occupied with Aiden and worrying about my lack of milk to breastfeed my child."You're taking much longer, Kristen," Elder Festus' voice rings out, sliding me out of my thoughts.And it dawns on me that I have w

I burst out, my patience exhausted, tears welling up in my eyes."What do you mean, Kristen?" Elder Festus inquires, concern etched across his face.Taking a deep breath, I begin the painful revelation. "It's a curse. Calhoun is bedridden, reduced to a skeleton. 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. The pack needs to know what we're dealing with."Expressions of shock and disbelief rises through the council of elders. Gregory scoffs, "A cursed Alpha?

Kristen’s POVThe following day, the council of elders, along with some men in our pack, call for a meeting.“We’ve noticed something strange going on,” Elder Festus begins, his eyes narrowing.“Yes, what is it?” I ask, feigning innocence, my gaze locked on him.“Our Alpha has been absent for three months, and it’s you who has been handling things,” Elder Adolphus states, his expression stern.“He’s on a long business trip, but he’ll return soon,” I lie, maintaining a straight face and gesturing confidence with a slight nod.“Bullshit, that’s what you keep telling us all the time!” Gregory interjects, a young man holding a high position in our pack.I meet his gaze squarely, a controlled defiance in my eyes. “Do not raise your voice at me,” I say quietly, my tone firm.“Something is happening right under our nose, and you’re keeping it away from us,” he adds, fuming, his eyes searching mine for any signs of deception.“There’s nothing going on, it’s all your overthinking doing a great
