Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 66: Calhoun
Calhoun's POVThe entire place looks disarrayed, and everyone is staring back at me with wide eyes and jaws touching the floor. More like they are in shock.Bruce and Natalie, and then Kristen. "Oh my god, he's awake!" Natalie exclaims before jumping over me on the bed.And Kristen, she blinks unsteadily with quivering pale-brown lips. Her eyes are still wide in their sockets and I can even spot booger dripping from her nose.Perhaps I was on the brink of death, or I already died and woke up because they have tears across their faces.Natalie has her whole body over me, her hands are going through my hair, and shoulders as she sobs. "I'm so glad you didn't die, Calhoun," she sniffs as she pulls her head back to examine my face. She keeps pulling my face away so I don't look to see my mate."Get off me," my voice comes out rough."What?" Natalie pauses halfway through her sobs.Without a word, I gently push her away from me and leave the bed. Natalie stumbles when I do this but I ju

Calhoun's POVIt's been a week since I told Bruce to announce my fake death to everyone, while I stay hiding. My men are already setting traps for Alpha Ezra because they know he'd come since he's always wanted what's mine. To think he's always despised me after everything I have done for him. Requested I visit him while he had plans of poisoning me with backbone.

I haven't confronted Natalie since I pushed away from me but I am certain Bruce was able to convince her to keep her mouth shut about me being alive. To be honest, I don't care if she'll go about telling everyone the truth. I don't want anything to do with her as I am to divorce her right after this whole thing with Alpha Ezra dies down.But she's doing a job well done by acting like a widow, wearing all black every day as

Kristen's POVCalhoun faked his own death after he survived the black bane poison. He hid away from his pack and everyone to make them truly believe he died. The pack doctors had a dead body in place of him and people mourned him for days, when in fact he's alive, plotting something for his enemies.People are gathering at the graveyard for the funeral and I can see people in tears already, mostly his grandmother who completely looks a shadow of herself. If only she knows he's alive and he's planning a huge thing. I haven't seen Calhoun in a week, though. The last we saw ourselves was at the pack hospital, so I am eager to see him today, wondering what exactly he has up his sleeves. Mom is here with her friends. She's still the Luna of the Greyhound pack and people are already tagging her as a widow. I can't even hold her gaze upon remembering how Calhoun pushed her away from his body and came to me. Having flashbacks about this makes my stomach churn because it's rather unsettling

Kristen's POVEveryone was redirected to Calhoun's estate when the post-funeral reception began. And Calhoun is present, quietly standing at a corner and observing the whole scenery in front of him. He hasn't eaten or drunk anything and I wonder what exactly he has in his mind because his eyes are fixed on a group of Alphas who are involved in a heated conversation.He and Bruce seem to be having a wordless conversation because they keep staring at each other from time to time.From my side eye, I notice I am being stared at by someone and when I swiftly shift my gaze to them, it's my mom watching me intently with a darkened gaze.Who knows if she's thinking of multiple ways to rip my hair out of my head or even murder me? She sucks in her cheek and toys with her wine glass. It can be she's recalling how Calhoun pushed her away from him and came to me. The fact that he's not hiding anymore must hurt deeply.We haven't spoken to each other since the incident at the yacht's bathroom,

Kristen's POVThe shocked expression on their faces gives out how they weren't expecting to see him. I can tell they're wondering if it's truly Calhoun, or his ghost. Alpha Ezra is the most surprised out of everyone.Bruce takes this as a cue to toss his fake wine bottle aside and quit the act he's been putting on earlier.With the way Calhoun is standing in front of me for protection, I've never felt so much at ease before. Alpha Ezra thought he could have his way with me because everyone else didn't speak up or tried to stop him, except Ben.Right now, he's blinking in uncertainty, completely unsure of who is standing in front of him."Is that truly Alpha Calhoun or someone who bears an uncanny resemblance to him?""I don't want to think I'm starting to see things because we just buried him a few hours ago.""What in the seven hells is going on?"People aren't whispering this time, they're talking aloud, showing their confusion. Calhoun leaves my side and takes menacing steps unti

"Congrats, Kristen. You're two weeks pregnant," Doctors Christopher breaks this news to me with a huge smile on his face."What?" I shiver-jolt upon hearing this. Is there something wrong with my ears or I misheard him?"You're pregnant," he says again."No," I disagree, shaking my head, "perhaps you brought the wrong test result." My hands are already balled into small fists as my heart keeps doing dangerous backflips in my chest.Doctor Christopher just smiles and nudges the test result to my side of the table so I can take a look at it.I hesitate because I want to think this is an expensive joke because I came here this morning to run some tests thinking I was ill. It was still Doctor Christopher who suggested the pregnancy test, something which I nonchalantly agreed to.Picking up the result, I raise it to my face and let my eyes skim through it.My first and last name is written on it, and cold runs through me that I shudder because it's almost like I am thrown into a bathtub

Kristen's POV"You're pregnant?" Calhoun asks with his getting way too tender for their own good.Sniffing, I nod and tuck some strands of hair behind my hair. Because, fuck!I'm only twenty-one, about to graduate from school and then there's mom who's still out there.I have another life growing inside of me and it's just too soon."It's all your fault, Calhoun. You could've been more careful. Had I known, I never should've let you touch me," raising my fist, I hit his chest and surprisingly it was not even as hard as I intended."Just calm down Kristen," Calhoun catches my fist, and tries to pull me into a hug but I don't let him."You don't even know how I feel at this point..how it fucking feels to know I'll become a father, that we're having a baby together," his voice is thought and when I look to meet his eyes, I can see he's already tearful.Oh, Calhoun. He's making it impossible for me to hate him as much as I want.My sobs come to a halt and I can feel my throat getting thic

Upon reaching home that evening, I asked the servants to prepare dinner for both me and Natalie, since we needed to talk. "It's been so long we've sat on the same table like this," Natalie has a small sad smile resting on her face as she pulls the chair backward so she can sit. I take a good look at her, she seems to have lost like ten pounds. Looks skinny, unwell. Pale"How are you?" I intertwine my fingers on the table."I thought you'd never ask," Natalie stares at me with something like hope in her eyes."You don't look so goo
