Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 176: Her
Calhoun's POVOne day later.I thought I could live with the fact that Kristen is possibly happy with Theodore, but the more I keep thinking about it, the more it feels like I am losing myself. I need answers, at least to know why she's choosing him over me. And on the other hand, a small part of me keeps tugging at me and telling me that it could be Kristen wants me to come to her rescue because according to my beta, Theodore took her away.Kristen truly cares about Aiden, right? If she's lost the feelings she has for me, at least Aiden is her son and she's aware he needs her care. Unable to think straight, I ask some guards to bring Darcy, Theodore's blind sister to me."Alpha Calhoun," Darcy's voice is shaky, giving out that she's scared of me."Your brother took my wife away," I say, and it's not even an accusation. Just reminding her."It's painful to hear such things about Theodore, he was never like this. But now, he's gone astray. I don't even know him anymore," Darcy's voi

Kristen's POVMy whole body quivers immediately when Calhoun comes out of the car.To think he's the first person I see upon my return home. I didn't know I missed him this much until I finally clasp my eyes on him.I never thought I would see him out here, looking hale and hearty, as if he wasn't hurt by Theodore two days ago.I feel lightheaded and weak because I haven't slept, eaten, or had water in 24 hours. I have been driving and only stopping to get some gas at the gas station. While Theodore's dear body was covered in the back seat of the car, like a person who was asleep. "Kristen…" Calhoun calls out to me in utter disbelief, giving out that he wasn't expecting to see me here.And immediately, I feel all the stress from two days crashing upon me. My knees wobble and they're starting to give out underneath me because my vision blurs for a few seconds.But Calhoun is already at my side, his hands securing my waist to protect me from falling.

Calhoun's POV"You couldn't stand him, nor could we. Wow, just wow! Who could have ever thought that it would be Kristen?" Bruce is still having a hard time believing Kristen murdered Theodore. I am too. Everyone else is. "It's something I am still trying to wrap my head around. She came back, drove for a day with Theodore's dead body in the backseat of the car. It's something I cannot do," I pour myself some vodka, and instead of drinking it, I toy with the glass instead."She's so brave. I know a lot of women who would freak out upon seeing a dead body," my beta nears my side and pours himself a glass of vodka too."That's why she's Luna. No one can uphold that status as much as she," my voice contains so much admiration for Kristen. She keeps me astonished all the time."Calhoun," The said person's voice ring out, and I fasten my eyes to the door. There, I see her standing alone. "We need to talk," she adds quietly. Bruce takes the hint and makes his way out of the room, leaving

Kristen's POV"We met at the club, and heck I wasn't drunk. I had someone else with me and your husband's beta was already in the company of women. My escort turned out to be a jerk, he wanted to forcefully take me inside the club's restroom, despite all of my protests, and Bruce happened to stop by. Guess he had his eyes on me the entire time," Maddy's voice sounds muffled because she's snarfing down some chocolate chip cookies.I am still stupefied as she narrates her very first night with Bruce. We're in my car, with all the guards excused. And I am letting my best friend talk as much as she wants because she's a bit at ease with just me alone."Bruce saved me from the retard, he drove me home in his car. And when I invited him for drinks, it just happened," her mouth is full when she takes a gulp, and it makes her eyes even watery because she was in tears earlier."Was it once?" I ask in the most friendliest way possible because I don't want to sound offensive upon knowing she's n

Calhoun's POV Servants are running around, arranging the dining hall, dusting tables and chairs, and turning on the lights, the whole house hasn't been the same since Kristen returned from the place that she went."What's the celebration about?" Bruce has a thoughtful look on his face as he stares at the buzzing servants."Don't ask me, ask her," I point at Kristen who's at the door, welcoming guests.Her announcement for a little feast came unexpectedly because it's something she hasn't done before, which makes it questionable because it's clear she has something up her sleeve.She went out of her way to invite people over, asking the servants to send them messages and when an invitee gave an excuse, she would move on to the other person. She did this until all the chairs at the dining table were completed. Sixty-two guests in total and it happened under three good hours. She's Luna, after all, she has great influence over these people. They have regarded her highly ever since she

Kristen's POVAfter taking one last look at Aiden to ensure he's asleep in his crib, I quietly shut the door before hurrying to meet my friends in the room opposite mine. The feast ended quicker than I thought because of the tension from earlier, my guests couldn't be at ease anymore, Sapphire's sudden announcement of pregnancy to Bruce whose outburst threw everyone off guard. Calhoun sensed the uneasiness and calmly dismissed everyone, after ordering the servants to give them gifts to help make the evening less bad for them. My husband is such a lifesaver, if I hadn't done that I don't even know what would have become of me. My first feast would have ended up in an absolute disaster.Sapphire's cries ring in my head when I open the door to the dimly lit room. "Hey," I gently place a hand on her shoulder, offering comfort because she's been like this for an hour. Maddy doesn't even show any signs of pity or make any move to come close to our friend, she's just staring at Sapphire

Calhoun's POVThe silvery good from the moonlight reflects on the serene lake as I first emerge from the water, and then Bruce follows. The cool breeze carries the scent of damp earth as we advance towards the shore, with droplets of water rolling from our bodies and our wet skin reflecting on the moon's radiance. We're at the lake a mile away from home. Picking up my clothes, I put them on since I was just in my briefs earlier. And dampness clings to my skin as I fumble with my clothes for some seconds until I eventually wear them on."Feels like we're teenagers again, sneaking out to the lake," I smirk while slicking back my wet hair.While Bruce chuckles and shakes water from his disheveled hair. "Yeah, Nana Joyce was so strict," He reminds me. And it's a good thing to see he's not in the foul mood from earlier when he stormed off from the dining hall and I went out to look for him. Only to find him at the lakeshore, throwing pebbles into the water."Remember how she used to mak

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?
