Calhoun's POV

One 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.

    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

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.

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.

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.

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
