Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 34: Shock
Kristen's POVMom tried to commit suicide through?I haven't been myself since Bruce broke the news, upon knowing it has to do with me. I believe I'll self-loathe until eternity. Fear and worry are getting the best of me. I am panicking because I can't lose her else I'll have no family at all. 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.

Nothing else matters right now, but Mom.When we reach Calhoun's estate, I sprint towards her room and push the doors open.There, I find Mom in bed with her eyes closed.

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. Dark.This is not the caring man whom I spent two nights with. He's a totally different person now, his gaze not even peering away from mine as if I am a workload he is in dire need of getting rid of.Anger hits me like a punch. Calhoun has no

Calhoun's POVOne month later.The annual Greyhound Ceremony came quicker than expected. My entire mansion has the perfect decorations that for a moment I have to pause and wonder if it's actually my place. My pack members always look forward to this day because it's celebrated yearly. All the Alphas under me and as well as their members are here to celebrate with us.Nana Joyce who has that perpetual giant scowl on her face seems different tonight. She's smiling momentarily as she converses with people, even stopping to compliment women. It's surprising to see her this way when she's always grumpy and seems to frighten people with it. 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

Calhoun's POV"How long have you been cheating on me?" "Don't jump to conclusions, Calhoun. I was drunk, so I kissed him. Nothing happened," Natalie slides out of the bed and massages the back of her neck. The way she just replied to me is as if she's talking about something else as if she wasn't caught cheating.Confusion, disappointment, and pain hit me at once.Clenching my jaw, I ball my fingers into tight hard fists. "Don't overthink things, now," Natalie even has the audacity to pour herself some wine, "this is the first time we're kissing."How in the seven hells can she make such utterance? My body is starting to invigorate because I just want to slam my fist repeatedly into something and it's not a wall but the face of a person.Because they were already half naked when I barged in and even right now, a few of their clothes are on the floor. I can spot even Natalie's undies. Something which indicates that they were already fucking before I even got here. No wonder she had t

Kristen's POVIt's morning and time for Public Speaking class. As usual, I am in the front pew of seats, waiting for our lecturer to show up, but it's been five minutes late and she hasn't shown up. I have two months left to complete my final semester at school, so I have my hands full aside from being bombarded with different projects.Someone slides into the empty space beside me, with their sweet-smelling cologne wafting my nostrils.From the smell, I already recognize the person before turning to meet them."Kristen," he calls my name with a contagious smile on his face."Hey, Ben," I mirror his expression, "you're a backbencher. Why are you here?""I wanted to sit next to you," he tucks a strand of hair behind my ear and puts his hand on my shoulder.Ben Gregory is the son of Alpha Norman from the Green-Valley pack, and the next in line to be Alpha after graduation. We take the same courses at times, he was friendly right from the beginning but kept his distance. Recently, he's s

Calhoun's POV"I don't have a good feeling about this,""You've been overworking yourself, lately. Just loosen up, relax. It's not the end of the world, men are still looking for Jack, things will be handled rightly in your absence. It's just two days and Alpha Gregory cordially invited you himself, it'd be an insult to not show up when he attended our Annual ceremony last week and even your 31st birthday.""Don't lecture me now," my glare on Bruce is intense. He seems to be talking a lot these days, or it's just his usual self that I find irrational."I'm looking out for you, as always," Bruce pushes my box to the butler beside him.Butlers.I'm starting to grow a dislike for them since the occurrence eight days ago. They act loyal in your presence and fuck your wife right under your nose. I know it's insensitive of me to be judgy when it's just one who fucked my wife, but each time I see one, I am reminded of that night, I am super touchy and aggressive when they're near, so they do
Last Updated : 2023-07-21Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 40: All Up To You
Kristen's POVSeeing Calhoun regenerated emotions that I wanted to keep buried deep within me. Had I known he would be here on this yacht, I would've turned down Ben's invitation. It's been one month since the Rejection and just when I was trying to get over everything, I saw him again. Calhoun still has the audacity to hold my gaze as if we still share the mate bond. I avoided Mom because of him, upon feeling betrayed and guilty at the same time. Holding onto the yacht railings, I sigh as the yacht starts leaving the seaport. There's no going back now, mom has already seen me. If I told them I wanted to return by a small boat, people would think low of me. So I just have to stay here, watch Calhoun and my mom together. Old feelings never die, if they eventually did it shows that you never loved the person who you claimed to love. Calhoun looks good, the light green shirt and tight-fitted white trousers he's wearing make him look younger than his age. And the memory of our two

Kristen's POVI am drying my hands when someone enters the restroom."Kristen," it's mom when I look in the mirror."Hey, Mom, you're here," there's still guilt raging deep inside of me, but I don't feel as bad as before because everything between me and Calhoun has ended."Of course, I wanted to speak with you," she puts her hand on my shoulder and smiles sweetly at me. Except it doesn't reach her eyes or I imagined it?No, it's truly fake."I know what it's about, Mother. I apologize for avoiding you," I tear my gaze away from hers.And she doesn't respond; she just locks the door and slips the key into the top of her dress."Why did you do that?" Puzzled, I blink."I am here to talk, Kristen," she still has that fake smile on her face, smiling with her teeth this time just makes her creepy.She rakes her fingers through my hair, "By the way I like what you've done with your hair, being twenty-one just makes you a full fledge adult, you can fuck as you want."Heat crawls on my cheek
