Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 49: The Truth
Calhoun's POVKristen is sobbing as I hold her close without even a care that people are watching us.I don't want to think about how badly she feels right now. Her body is trembling against mine as she continues crying silently.How dare they look at her this way when it was the other girl who started it? They don't even have any right to be judgy, most of them would've done worse if they were in her shoes.She dodged every bite and gave the girl a good bite because her wolf was more powerful, they had no right to stare at her with hate and disgust.If only they know how much she means to me, how I'll keep accepting her the way she is. To me, none of them can even measure up to her."Let's get you out of here," I tell Kristen, after pulling away from the hug. Because I don't give a flying fuck about anyone here.She needs to be away from them to know she's not a bad person or in the wrong to be defensive by fighting back.They made my girl feel like a monster.And it's upsetting to s
Last Updated : 2023-07-31Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 50: Stay
Kristen's POVWhen Ciara slapped me and ruined my dress with wine, he didn't stare at her with contempt, but when I fought back to defend myself, he looked at me with contempt because my wolf bit her.It hurt when I was bashed with insults and accusations. The way they stared at me like a slut, the disgust in their eyes, mostly from Ben who I was trying to be caring for.But then Calhoun came to my rescue and I've never felt so grateful before. Because I wasn't expecting him to stand up for me like that when everyone saw me as the bad guy.The way he told the truth without leaving anything, proudly agreed that we fucked, and then added that we were mates.He was like my hero at that point, because everyone else was quick enough to judge me and throw insults in my way.The look on Mom's face was as if Calhoun pressed a knife to her heart. She thought we only had an affair, she didn't know we were already mates before their marriage, until today.She never would have learned the truth i
Last Updated : 2023-07-31Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 51: Confrontation (I)
Calhoun's POV It's Monday, exactly a day after the whole incident at the funeral and I'm currently having a meeting with some of my staff at the conference hall.Still, it's sort of complicated to concentrate on what's happening in front of me when my mind keeps drifting back to the girl I marked to be my mate for the second time.Kristen.She's been on my mind throughout, I can't even think about anything else but her. The night at the hotel, I wanted to kiss her so badly, yet I refrained myself from it because I felt she still needed some time to recollect herself after what happened.When I wanted to leave, she was reluctant to let me go, so I stayed back and filled my head with all sorts of terrible and disgusting images because I didn't want to get a boner and end up losing self-control around her. It was tortured and a bit fucked up that she had not the slightest clue of the great effect she had on me.I don't even regret telling everyone she's my mate, instead, I've been feeli

Calhoun's POV"How dare you humiliate me like that in front of everyone?" Natalie lashes out at me. And Bruce pretends to be busy."I wonder why you're here," I say as I stare at her, making sure my eyes are devoid of emotions because she doesn't matter to me anymore."You should be ashamed of yourself for telling them you're Kristen's mate..""But it's true, the moon goddess made us mates right before our marriage. It was a sign that I should call things off with you, but I was foolish not to do it.""How dare you!" Natalie's growl is enough to tear down the walls, and if looks could kill, I would've been decapitated by her murderous glare right now."You tried to humiliate both Kristen and me at Layla's funeral." She accuses me."You deserved it," I say without any form of remorse."Hah, look who's talking. You cheated on me with my own daughter." Natalie points out."And you fucked the butler to get back at me," I shake my head at her."You started it all." She points in my face."

Kristen's POV"Make sure to finish your projects before this week runs out, see you at the same time ok Thursday," the course lecturer takes his leave after spending four good hours in the hall.It's been a hectic day for me, I haven't even had the time to breathe because I keep scurrying to different halls to sit for lectures.We have a thirty-minute break before the last course for the day begins.Yawning, I sling my backpack on my shoulder as I take my leave. I'm famished and the need to grab a bite is overwhelming.In the hallway, people are staring at me and they don't even look away when I see them.Things changed on Saturday at Layla's funeral.Ever since Calhoun announced that I was his mate, the news spread like wildfire. I have my share of haters who think I'm up to ruin things for my mom.And then most people admire me for being the Almighty Alpha Calhoun's mate.

Last Updated : 2023-07-31Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 54: At The Museum
Calhoun's POVKristen has a confused look on her face as she stares at the Scandinavian sculpture in front of her.And I find it amusing because she doesn't even know I'm staring at her instead of the painting at my side. We're at the museum, and I can tell she's trying as much as she can to not whine even though she wasn't expecting me to bring her here.She finally looks to meet my gaze, and I just scoff because I know she doesn't fancy the sculpture at all.It's adorable to see her this way, she's twenty-one and not childish at all. To think she fought someone just makes my respect rise for her because I never expected she could defend herself like that.Kristen looks at me to see if I still have my eyes on her, and smiles a little because I haven't even looked away from her. My gaze has been fixed on her this whole time, and the act of hers is adorable.I'm staring at her more than the statues and paintings in here.She's flushing because of my obvious staring. And then she walks
Last Updated : 2023-07-31Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 55: Hate For Her Daughter
Calhoun's POVKristen stares at her mother in shock, clearly not expecting to see her here and a cloud quickly befalls her face. I know she's afraid of Natalie, too stunned to even speak or move, so I pull her into a one-arm hug.Natalie is clearly enjoying this, making her presence known to ruin our evening. I wonder what she's up to at this moment, but I know I won't let her say or do anything to hurt Kristen."Look who we have here, the cheating husband and the backstabbing daughter, trying to be all lovey-dovey," Natalie pops her head from me to Kristen and Kristen to me.Kristen doesn't say anything except rubbing the side of her arm. She does this when she feels uncomfortable. A die hard habit of hers.Upon seeing this, I pull her away from the painting so it could be packaged, since her mother, who had no desire for painting, wanted that one.The look on her face is as if she wants to be anywhere other than here and I know it's because of Natalie.Wanting to get back at her, I

Kristen's POV"Why did you hide the truth from us?" Sapphire jabs her shoulder in mine, as we walk out of the lecture hall together.And I cast her an incredulous look because she doesn't even want to go there when a secret is never safe with her or Maddy."Do you know how hard it was for me to deal with guilt all the time? Besides you two talk a lot, you could let things slip off easily from your lips.""But we're still your friends and you ought to share deep secrets with us," Maddy pouts at me. She's the shortest out of all three of us while Sapphire is the tallest."Woah, I can't believe you were mated to Alpha Calhoun this entire time, "Sapphire has her eyes raised in their sockets, because never in her life did she expect such a thing to happen."Mated to her mother's husband, you mean," Maddy scoffs as she hugs her book to herself."Whoa, that's just so strange. Something like this hasn't happened before." Sapphire blinks and then looks at me, her face still in disbelief and sh
