Caleb Spade Novels & Stories

“And paid for it.” Jace’s jaw tightens. “You expect us to believe you’re just some helpful ghost in the system?” Caleb smiles thinly. “No. I expect you to believe I’m scared.” For the first time, his confidence cracks just a little. “I’ve been cleaning up pieces ever since,” he continues. “Moving files. Hiding things where the right people will find them. Making noise when it gets too quiet.” “Why now?” I ask. “Because your brother’s name resurfaced,” Caleb says. “And when that happens, people start panicking. That’s when mistakes get made.”

He said no words, as he waited for Nolan to elaborate, as he knew he would. “I always knew you to be one who would be quenched by his own youthful exuberance, but I never imagined you would lay with the help and attract her wrath. I wish I could say the mighty have fallen, but we both know you never really attained the position of ‘mighty’” Caleb had heard enough, “If you have something to say to me Nolan, spit it out directly, or I will have to end this aimless call.” He stated firmly. “Still as impatient as ever, Caleb. Perhaps if you would calm down a little, you would probably notice the stray wolves that escape your pack grounds and walk the lengths of the country, looking for allies to

Caleb. Caleb: Want some company for the flight home? Me: Always. Caleb: Then it's a date. My first official date with Elena Sterling. Me: Don't get ahead of yourself, Harding. Caleb: Too late. Been ahead of myself for ten years. Me: You’re impossible. Caleb: Maybe. But you’re smiling right now, aren’t you? I stared at the screen, biting back a grin. Damn him, he knew me too well. Me: Maybe I am.

(Kane) _Watching Caleb’s frantic, unraveling reactions over the last twenty-four hours had been nothing short of a psychological masterclass. _The guy was drowning, suffocating under the weight of his ‘own bruised ego, and every single performative stunt he pulled only dragged him deeper into the current. Inviting an actress? Weaponizing Hannah? It was pathetic. _Caleb was a captain on the ice, but off it, he was an amateur playing a game he didn't have the stomach for. He couldn't handle the fact that Danica wasn't a trophy to be claimed or a piece of franchise property to be managed.

I hate to admit it but Caleb has perfectly mastered the way to get under my skin. He shrugs. “If you say so.” River hands him a saw and goggles and he takes them, putting the goggles on. “We can’t all be jobless like you,” I snipe. But even as I say that, I know it’s not entirely the truth. Caleb might be unemployed to the public eye but he still had a role to play in our group. Despite the way he looks with the multiple tattoos and the piercings, Caleb is actually very smart. As much as it hurts me to admit.

Caleb stands beside Samuel, both siding against Zac, and surprisingly, Levi crosses the room to stand beside Zac. "I wouldn't normally agree with outing us to humans, but they're friends with Tegwen, they're essentially her new pack without meaning to be. They've handled everything so far together and she needs to know what she is. It would make the whole transition easier if she had her friends to talk to." Levi's statement is met with shocked silence and finally everyone looks to my father for a decision.

Levi's POV After breakfast, we go to find Baldwin. Apparently, his office is in one of the barns at the back of the stables. When we get there, Baldwin is inside with four other guys, as if they’ve been waiting for us. “Ah, you’re here. Come in,” he says, standing. “This is Caleb, Aaron, Dante, and Chase.” The four of them rise as we introduce ourselves. Caleb has the bushiest eyebrows I’ve ever seen. They’re thick and dark, making his broad face look thoughtful. He has a quiet demeanour, and something about him settles the air in my chest. Maybe he comes from a Gamma line.

He will also cause the werewolf world problems. I have talked enough with Kane about this. Even though Caleb is my mate’s brother, Kane recognizes Caleb is pure evil. However, my goal is to capture him alive and make him serve some sort of punishment in prison, which Kane has agreed to accept. We have told Beta Malcolm to stay with Mike and away from the fight. The two initially protested, but they finally agreed after Kane helped to persuade them. Ben’s voice once again fills my head. “Caleb is the light brown, almost tan, wolf with two black streaks along the side of his face. He is over by the right side of the field fighting a dark brown wolf.”

I looked at Anya, who was quietly signing the document, a formal, written act of treason. "Caleb," I stated, the name tasting like ash. "Caleb is the Alpha's backup, Vesper’s future Beta, the one who publicly betrayed you. He knows every lie Vesper has ever told, every secret deal, every weakness. He won't speak to me, or to Alaric. He is Vesper’s creature." My gaze hardened, reflecting the cold, absolute necessity of the moment. "He'll only talk to the woman he destroyed. You must go to him, Luna. Caleb is arrested and desperate. Go ask him what you were truly worth to your father."

“If Cole is the one assigned to watch you, then I think he’d mostly have a small group with him. And they must have seen me come here.” I sat on the fluffy seat. “Don’t worry. I have some of my men watching the area.” “You have spies in your rival’s team. What makes you so sure there aren’t any in yours?” Caleb’s voice rose a bit higher. “There can’t be. They’d be dead.” Caleb and I exchanged glances. “To betray me is to court death. I don’t take that lightly.” “Whatever. How are we going to get him out?” Caleb asked, pointing his index finger at me.
