Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 187: With My Husband’s Beta
“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,"

Calhoun's POV"Kristen, is everything okay?" I ask quietly.She doesn't even respond, just keeps staring at me with wide eyes as if I have hurt her in the past. And this leaves me concerned."Are you trying to pull a prank on me? Get me worried for nothing?" I ask after making sure there's a smile on my face, so as not to make her feel uncomfortable.But her mouth parts but no words come out. Just sharp breaths.Okay, now something is wrong. And as her husband and mate, it's my duty to get her to talk to me."Remember when it was nearing your due time with Aiden and we went to the beach? You told me to close my eyes and when I did, you put a dead lizard on my palm," Truly, this was funny. She acted a lot on her hormones then and cried for no good reason. But it was cute to me, and so I showered her with all the love and care in the world, and treated her like an egg."And about that day you wept so hard because you felt Aiden was too big inside you, and you were scared you'd be unable

Calhoun's POV "Is it really you, Calhoun?" Kristen calls out to me with a shaky voice. And when I nod, she hugs me so tightly as if she wants to get into my skin.Thank fuck she remembers me now.Whatever the fuck is going on, it's no good at all. We've never been thrown in this position before, save for the time she was drugged by Jack and when she woke up, she couldn't recognize me.Tonight, she ran away from me because she saw me as Theodore.I looked through everywhere until I finally found her, walking alone on the road.

Last Updated : 2023-12-11Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 192: Locked In
Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 192: Kristen’s POV The torment I am suffering from Theodore’s ghost has made me become a shadow of myself. Exhausted sleepy eyes, and bags around my eyes because I haven’t had any sleep for the course of three nights, since the night I ran out in the rain, upon seeing Theodore on everyone’s faces. My skin is pale, I have lost over six pounds because I have been starving and lacking hygiene like a psychiatric patient. Nor have I changed out of my nightdress. And I am as well afraid of going out in the open to socialize or even interact with people because I am scared I will see him again, and then I’ll end up losing my mind, something which would make everyone see that truly, their Luna isn’t sane anymore. I shut myself out from the world and Calhoun inclusive. That man has been through a whole lot since I came into his life. It’s been one problem after the other, and I feel too bad to even face him now. “Kristen, you can’t continue doing this to us,” he’

Calhoun's POV "My wife needs help and it's just frustrating that cannot do anything about it. That's why I gathered you all tonight," I address the people who are seated at the high table. Nana Joyce, Bruce, Elder Festus, and three other important people in my pack."This explains why she's gone into hiding?" My beta inquires, although he's aware of what's happening, but not fully since I didn't make it known to him that Kristen was being haunted by the ghost of her second mate."She claims to see Theodore's ghost everywhere. On my face or anyone's face each time…something happened two nights ago, we were happy, getting all cozy, but suddenly she backed away from me in fear and stared at me like I was a monster," I explain and then harden my jaw from the quick thought of this.Nana Joyce, Bruce, and the rest of the people are listening intently. But I still notice the frown on my grandmother's face."She claimed I wasn't real and that she killed me, called me Theodore thrice, and ra

Kristen's POV"Kristen, are you up!?" It's past 2 AM when my husband bangs on my door, and thankfully I am up, scared of seeing Theodore when I fall asleep."Calhoun? What are you doing here?" I leave my bed and advance towards the door."Just get away from the door," he tells me with urgency in his voice."Why?" I frown."Do as I said, go far away from the door," Calhoun orders, and then it dawns on me that he's going to break in."No, don't come in, Calhoun. I don't want you to see me like this." I say, stubbornly."It's not a request, Kristen. Get away from the door, I don't want to hurt you," Calhoun's yell is loud enough to be heard by everyone."Don't do this," I implore, upon not wanting to see him as Theodore again.And just like that, Calhoun slams his side against the door until it eventually goes crashing on the floor, revealing my heavily panting husband.He did it, really breaking down the door just so he could see me. He didn't even have to go through so much stress when
