Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 71: Pregnant
"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

Calhoun's POVI've been in a frenzy mode since Kristen told me about her pregnancy. It came up when I was least expecting but I am still overjoyed.Thinking about a miniature version of me has this huge smile on my face. I will do everything to protect both Kristen and the baby. Kristen is still so hardheaded, I get that she doesn't want to live with me because Natalie is in the picture. Still, I want to take care of her because she's not alone anymore. 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

Kristen's POV"They said she's been torturing herself by starving," Calhoun tries to hold me but I don't let him, as I am already panicking. "I need to see her," I make this known to him because my mother is who I care about at this point."Are you sure about this?" There's uncertainty in Calhoun's eyes as he looks at me, wordlessly telling me that it's not a good idea."Yes, she's my mom and nothing could ever change that." Upon hearing this, Calhoun moves out of the way.I know mom doesn't need me around her but I am still her child and even if she hates me, it won't change the fact that I still care deeply for her.And with my heart swelling in my chest, I walk into Mom's ward.Seeing her lying unconscious on the bed, looking really pale and skinny generates lumps in my throat, and tears brim up to my eyes. To think she's in this condition because Calhoun gave her divorce papers to sign them.It's all my fault.Sobs tear out of my throat as I rush to her side. My heart is pound

Calhoun's POV"You seem to be lacking understanding here, do you think Kristen will just forget about her mother to be with you?" Bruce pants and puffs as he stares at me with displeasure."I don't even know," I rasp out."You're not getting the point and you cannot understand Kristen because you aren't in her shoes," my beta holds my gaze with that frown still on his face."So you think blame-shifting me for her mother's condition is the right thing to do?" I uplift a brow at him.We're at the construction site where two pack houses are getting built. "Trust me, some girls would have done worse. Kristen is just a good person, she cares deeply about her mom despite how this woman has been cruel to her.""What do you mean?" I look at Bruce, wondering if he's just bluffing."Ah, she told me never to tell anyone," Bruce in turn avoids my gaze."Speak!" I command."Okay, okay," he holds his hands up in defense, "I came to figure something wasn't right on the evening of our pack run. Both

Kristen's POV"Ben!" I yell his name.Slowly, Ben stops and whirls around in my direction. Upon noticing it's me, his good mood instantly drops and I totally understand him. He has every right to be upset.He doesn't utter any word but he takes long strides until he's standing in front of me. Thankfully Maddy and Sapphire aren't here with me. They're both having different courses by this hour, which leaves me alone."How have you been?""Why do you even care?" His voice is low, bitter."Because you're my friend?" My reply comes out sounding like a question because I never thought of him like that."I don't want to be your friend, Kristen," he growls, attempting to sidestep me. But I hold his hand to stop him because things might have been rough between us, but I still care for him in my own way."I am so sorry, Ben," this apology isn't even about what happened at Calhoun's fake funeral but everything he's ever been through because of me."It doesn't change anything," Ben snatches his

Kristen's POV"I don't think this is a good idea," Whining, I turn to head back inside when they pull me backward."Only one drink, Kristen. It won't hurt the baby," Maddy urges, hooking her arm around mine.My friends are not to be trusted. Their one glass of beer equals seven and one glass of tequila is ten."I just don't have a good feeling about this," I shake my head, but my feet are moving because Maddy is dragging me along with her to the car."C'mon, it's been so long we've had a girls' night out. Our exams are coming next week and it'd be torturous to the brain to read all that load of books.""Fine, just one drink and then you'll drop me off at home. Calhoun doesn't want me staying out.""Yes, Luna queen. As you wish," Sapphire gives me a mocking two-finger salute.Chuckling, I let them pull me into the car for the drive to the club.Maddy is in the shotgun and Sapphire is driving. I'm sitting in the back seat because I tend to feel dizzy and nauseous from time to time and

Kristen's POV"Get off the fucking road," Maddy yells in a stern voice trying to prove that she's not afraid.The creepy guy doesn't even listen to her, he completely ignores her, shifts his gaze to Maddy, and frowns a little, before returning his attention to me.Oh My God!What the hell is this for?Are people allowed to behave this way or is he acting like this because it's just me and my friends here and we're females? Cause I doubt he'll do this in the midst of men.Oh, how I wish Calhoun and his Beta were here! Things would've been a lot easier. Calhoun wouldn't even lay a finger on him, he would just give Bruce an order with his eyes and Bruce would tackle him and pin him to the ground.But Calhoun or his Beta isn't here. It's just me, Sapphire, and Maddy. No car seems to be moving on this side of the road, it's almost as if it's all planned.I don't want to think the creep has been stalking me this entire time and chose to make his presence known tonight when I'm even with my
