Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 10: To Reject My Mate
Calhoun's POV"I caught her trying to sneak out," I tell Natalie, something which isn't a lie."Why'd you even want to do that?" Her face transforms into confusion as she leaves the stairs and meets with us."It's just…I don't feel welcomed here." Kristen thins her lips and fiddles with her small, delicate hands. Hands that she had run through my bare back under the rain last night."But I thought we've gotten past this already," Natalie tucks her daughter's hair behind her ear and touches her cheek, "My poor baby is now a woman. I can recall when you always teared up when I left you in someone's care. Now you're all grown up, cannot wait to get away from me.""It's not like that, Mother," Kristen ensures she's avoiding my gaze as she tries to defend herself."You have three weeks until you're returning to school for your final semester. I want you to stay, so you can bond with Calhoun and me." Natalie clasp Kristen's hands in hers.And I just clench my jaw.If only she knows how I ca
Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 11: Joining The Pack Run
Kristen's POV Today is the Greyhound pack run and it's quite surprising because just yesterday was Alpha Calhoun and my mom's wedding. It could have been canceled but Alpha Calhoun permitted them to go on with it since my mom fancies such things. She's euphoric to be Luna of the Greyhound pack, people completely adore her because of her outspokenness, elegance, and breathtaking beauty. Unlike her who has the perfect body, I am busty, petite, and with a slim build.We don't even look alike, I take more of my father even if I'm the bastard child.I should be happy Alpha Calhoun has finally agreed to reject me after the pack run so our mate bond can be broken, and then he can be with my mom. But I can't find any bit of happiness in me.Perhaps because he came up with the suggestion before I could. And the determination in his blue eyes gives out that he wants to get done with me for good. My wolf is against this, if there's any way she can make me decline Alpha Calhoun's rejection, sh

Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 13: A Jealous Mother
Kristen's POV "Kristen, wake up."The gentle shake on my shoulders flicks my eyes open to my mother staring down at me."Mom?" I breathe out, utterly confused because I'm on the bed and I have the sheet covers on me. I was dreaming about participating in the pack run, right?"You've been out for three hours," Mom looks away from me as she informs me of this, "You passed out after winning the pack runs."Suddenly images of me contesting for the pack run through my head and I can remember everything.Holy shit!I can't believe Alpha Calhoun left his position and ran to my side. I was weak but I can recall when he carried me in a bridal style.No. He did not. How could he do such a thing? Mom might even suspect a thing and his people on the other hand would think something is going on between the two of us.

Let Me Go, Alpha Calhoun 15: Divorce The Mother Or Reject The Daughter
Calhoun's POV "You ought to be enjoying the honeymoon phase with your wife, not stick around like an unwanted guest. You should pass for a boil in the armpit." Nana Joyce casts me a suspicious look through her glasses."Ouch," I put my hand on my chest and feign sadness, "you hurt my feelings.""Cut me that crap and tell me why you've spent two nights here, Calhoun." The look on her face shows that she's not ready to listen to any excuses."I miss the good old days," putting my glass of wine on the table, I release a low breath and jam my fingers through my hair. It's not as if my response is a lie but it's far from the truth.Nana Joyce chuckles to herself before shaking her head at me."You know, that's not a very honest response. I am eighty-six and my wolf isn't agile like she was twenty years ago. We don't go out for runs anymore because I'm weak and you find me boring," she pauses to catch her breath before continuing."You built this mansion for me and put omegas at my beck and
