Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 181: Told You So!
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

Kristen's POVAt last, Calhoun came back. At the sound of heavy feet approaching the door, I know it's him.Thankfully, he's home at last. So many bad things have been happening to us lately for me to fall asleep so easily, so I have to be vigilant and alert at all times. It's one thing to have your husband leave and then return safely, because since I've known Calhoun, he's either getting poisoned, stabbed, and even attacked. He's the strongest person I know because he's managed to survive everything. And I pray we don't get to suffer as a couple again because we've already been through so much together, including Aiden.Quietly, Calhoun opens the door because he's aware it's already past bedtime for our son who is currently asleep, so Calhoun doesn't want to make any noise to upset Aiden while he's asleep.He's a great father and he's great with our son. It's his first time being a father and he's already so good at it. A smile hits my face when I realize he just noiselessly clos

Kristen's POV"You're up," Calhoun doesn't even give me a shoulder glance. He's still holding the fridge open, and he's already used to my presence to know it's me from the sound of footsteps approaching him."I noticed you slipping out of bed," letting out a sweet sigh, I hug Calhoun's naked body from behind. "Don't tell me you want to go for the sixth round," he teases but relaxes in my arms."I'm not tired, Calhoun. I can go for as long as possible with you," I confess without any shame. He's my husband after all.Chuckling, Calhoun turns his head to my side to steal my lips with a swift sweltering kiss. It's weird that we're both naked like this even though it's past midnight with no servants in sight, except the guards outside. Still, I doubt anyone will come in at such an hour.The kiss takes a different turn with Calhoun feasting on my mouth. He even lets the milk box he's holding to slip from his hands, and it splatters everywhere when it falls to the floor.Calhoun puts his

Kristen's POV"Are you sure about this?" Maddy cannot hide her discomfort as she nears my side on the dressing mirror, holding Aiden.It's noon the following day, and I have this meeting with all Greyhound women."To be honest, I don't even know. I keep seeing his face everywhere and then I act up. Flinch when someone approaches me from behind or calls my name when I am zoning out," My hand trembles along with the lipgloss in my grasp because I shuddered from the dreadful experiences I've been having since the nightmare in the early hours of this morning. "This is getting serious, you need help," Maddy props Aiden on her hip and looks at me with worry making her forehead lines visible. Sapphire couldn't show up because she doesn't want to run into Bruce, so she's keeping out of his way for good."You seriously need help, my friend," Maddy repeats."I don't want Calhoun to think I am too much trouble, it's been one problem after the other," My shoulders sag as I heave deeply."The sam

“You really handled that situation well,” Maddy praises, her eyes reflecting genuine surprise. “I wasn't expecting you to address them like that.”“They asked for it. It was never my intention to be mean,” I respond, defending my actions.“You weren't mean, you stood your ground as the Luna of this pack. You made yourself clear, and you've changed. I’m so proud of you,” Maddy pulls me into a quick hug, leaving me slightly stunned. I can't help but wonder why she was so thrilled about what I just did.After we pull away, I walk out of the hall with the guards following behind me, their obedience a result of Calhoun’s orders.As I step into the open, my heart flips in my chest when I spot Darcy, Theodore’s sister. She is holding to her aid stick for support as she walks toward her chosen spot.The melancholy etching across her face unsettles me. It’s the first time I had seen her since Theodore's funeral. The palpable sense of loneliness she carries without her brother tugs at my emotio

Kristen's POV"What are you doing?" Sapphire has this unsure look on her face as she stares at me. I drove her all the way down here a few minutes ago. And the place is already set up for the date, just the way I was told by Bruce."Just relax, friend," I assure her with a friendly smile, before jabbing my shoulder against hers, to make her feel at ease."Is this a date?" Sapphire has her head swinging in different angles and directions. Bruce really outdid himself on this one. Renting the entire expensive diner just for tonight, so he could get some alone time with her."Yes, for me and Calhoun. And I want you to be present too," I answer at last, schooling my face into a straight expression so she won't suspect anything just yet."Do you feel that bad for me?" Sapphire has a dull facade this time, totally getting the wrong idea of everything."No, not at all. You just need to be here tonight. This place is already fancy as it is," I flip her long hair away from her shoulder."Fine,"

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?
