Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 200: Over At Last
Calhoun’s POV Namala, surrounded by her coven, finally initiates the ritual to liberate Kristen from Theodore’s spirit. The room is charged with a different kind of energy, candles casting dancing shadows as the some incantations echoing through the air.I take a tough gulp and make sure Aiden isn’t looking to see any of this. “Kristen, trust in the process. This is the night we sever Theodore's hold on you,” Namala assures my wife with a firm tone.Kristen who is lying on the floor surrounded by black candles, hugs herself and whispers, “I'm terrified, but I know this is the only way.”And Namala in turn nods, before saying, “We stand united against this torment. Theodore's spirit will not prevail. He’s dead, and tonight you will be free from the ties that binds you two together, and he’ll never return to haunt you.”Aiden gurgles, seemingly sensing the tension in the room.“It's okay, little one.

Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 201Calhoun’s POV“We have a problem, Calhoun,” Bruce doesn’t even wait for us to alight from the car, or ask us how things went at the Silverline pack, he just goes straight to the point.“What do you mean by that?” I hold his gaze and try to mind-link with him, but he doesn’t let me.“It’s Nana Joyce, she wants Kristen out,” Bruce blurts out.“What!?” Kristen and I exclaim at once.‘Your grandmother already released the woman and let her in while you two were away,” the look on Bruce’s face gives out that there’s more he has to say, but he wants me to find out myself.“Why would she ever do that?” Kristen has her face in a frown, showing signs of disbelief.“Because she thinks you’re out to ruin Calhoun,” My beta is stupid enough to say this to my wife’s face.“Is this a prank, Bruce? Cause Nana Joyce would never do that…” Kristen presses on, and I can feel my temper rising because Bruce wasn’t supposed to say this in front of her, when I am capable of handl

Calhoun’s POVTwo weeks later.“I think I want to marry her,” Bruce blurts out one morning right while we’re resting from our morning run.“Who?” I ask in shock, upon wanting to be sure if I heard him right.“Who else if not Sapphire? She’s carrying my child,” Bruce has a small smile on his face as he lets this out.After a moment of letting his word sink in, I sit upright in a rush.“Are you serious about this? You’re truly the father of the child?” I blink unsteadily, because I wasn’t expecting to hear this so soon from him.“Yes,” My beta nods and puts his hand on his chin, “Sapphire can be many things but not a liar, we’ve been spending some quality time and getting to know ourselves better, aside the sex of course. I love her, I think I’ve always had an attraction for her and choose to ignore it because I was,”“Woah, this is huge,” I exclaim.“I never thought I’d want to settle down with anyone, but now that I’ve found her, I never want to let her go, all thanks to that shit-ba
