Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 29: Crazily Stupid
Kristen's POVI've never had anyone cook for me before except my mom, it's always ordering take-out meals or going to restaurants to eat because I'm certain I will be a bad cook even in my next life So when Calhoun settles the plate of sandwich in front of me, my chest is swollen as I have bath foams in there."Here you go," he stands aback and watches me.Sluggishly, I pull the plate closer to me and sigh."Go ahead," he urges me.It's not every day one can have a hot man preparing breakfast for them.An Alpha who has thousands of people and all packs on the Eastside under him."You keep staring at the food, you don't like it?""No, no," in a rush, I push all the sandwich in my mouth, something which makes my cheeks bulge like a bulldog's.Calhoun puts his hand on his chin and lowers his eyes into a squint as he observes me. The sandwich is good but I'm not comfortable with the awareness of his gaze fixated on me like this. I'll bet he thinks I'm clumsy with a bad eating habit, but

"How did you find me, Darren?" Kristen pinches my cheeks as I hold her in a bridal style on the short walk to the chamber.Who's this Darren? Her boyfriend or something?"Tell me why you're here," she mumbles as I place her on the bed. The alcohol has certainly knocked her down, and I can tell she's starting to see things."This is Alpha Calhoun, your mate and not Darren."She then gives me such a harsh smack on the cheek that for a brief moment, I second guess whether she is angry with me. My left cheek prickles with pain, but I merely clench my jaw to calm it down since I know she's reacting to what she's had."That's for breaking up with me in order to date the girl you referred to as your cousin." "I despise you so much, I wish I could rip off your limbs for lying to me and two-timing," Kristen tries to hit me again, but this time I duck and put her hands down."But don't worry, you jerk. I don't even think about you because your dingle-dick never satisfied me," Kristen chuckles a

Calhoun's POV I sprint out of the house, scolding myself inwardly for being so stupid and tactless because I saw someone earlier at the window and let it slip.To believe they waited until I was gone before kidnapping Kristen.What do they even want from her?My heart flutters in my chest as images of Kristen being raped and murdered go through my head, causing havoc.I'm not sure where I'm going, so I shift and let my wolf lead the way because he's more perceptive. Kristen and her kidnappers haven't been seen in ten minutes. Could it be that those men followed us down here so they could pick up where they left off? Those men I rescued Kristen from? Because she begged me not to kill them, and I spared their lives after severely punishing them.Was she awake when they kidnapped her? She screamed and called out to me?I feel like I'm on the verge of losing my mind just thinking about it because if a strand of hair from her head is touched, there will be a flow of blood and limbs will

Kristen's POVThe pain in my head is earth-shattering when I flick my eyes open. It feels like someone repeatedly slammed a baseball bat against my head, the whole time I was asleep. My body feels like a jellyfish too and my throat is itchy, as if I have closely packed wounds seeking refuge there. I can't tell if it's in the early hours of morning or evening, but the day isn't as bright as it should be. I am perspiring, drenched in my own sweat. The sheet covers and the bed is equally soaked.My mouth stinks like it housed a dead mole for a couple of hours, and it's so gross because I've never lacked proper hygiene.Did something happen?Suddenly, it dawned on me what exactly happened.I mistook pure alcohol for an orange juice, almost drank it all. Now I can't remember anything.Where the hell is Calhoun?We were supposed to leave here and head back home to Mom, but because of my stupidity, we're still here. Or did he leave me all alone?Paid punches out of my lungs because there'

Kristen's POV"Do you want food or anything?" He cocks his head to nh side."No, I'm not sure I can eat. I'm still too hungover to put food in my mouth, except I want to barf again," my hand is already rubbing the side of my arm."You need something to pull you out of your drunken mysery," just like that, his eyes darken with something that seems like lust.Calhoun lifts me and settles me on top of the table closest to us. I can't help but notice how ripped his muscles are when he goes down on his knees in front of me.After parting my legs, his fingers move to grip the briefs that I have on. And then he tugs them slowly until they're reaching my knees, displaying my red cotton thong.My mouth parts and sharp breaths flow out when Calhoun's lips find my upper thigh. He kisses it before eventually taking my boxers off.It's happening again. I'm here, all alone with this seemingly hot man. His big hands are kneading my thighs with caution, coupled with the way his stormy blue eyes are lo

Bruce is taking me back in the car.Calhoun didn't waste a second after hearing what Bruce had to say, he shifted and ran all the way home.

Kristen's POV I've always wanted Alpha Calhoun's rejection since the day it hit me hard that we were mated to each other. But not like this.He had his men bundled and put me in a car as if I was a criminal caught in the act of thievery. They took me to the council hall where the elders were already gathered like that last time. I don't have a good feeling about this, because I am being treated like I pushed Mom into the pool to drown. Calhoun seems like a stranger right now. He's standing right in front of me, his eyes laced with contempt and his jaw clenching and unclenching momentarily. His hands are shaking, he looks sick, impatient, and wants to get over with this as quickly as possible. I can feel the energy around him, it's frightful.

Nevertheless, she's aging perfectly.I haven't seen my wife, Natalie. I'll take it that she's being dressed up by her maidservants. Ever since her near-drowning four weeks ago, she's been distant. Even though I apologized countless times and came up with stories as to why I was absent for two nights, she didn't buy any of it. Accused me of cheating with
