The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 11: Another Loss
***Scarlett***“Babe, what do you mean by you aren’t in the mood?” Evans tore away the pillow from my arms. “Since your father died, it’s been one excuse or the other. It’s been a while since I touched you.”“I need space. I’m not in the mood, Evans.” I pull away to avoid his touch.“You don’t have to be in the mood. You are my wife. I can make love to you when I wish.”His response made me angry. I yelled. “Oh, yeah! It’s my body. I decide when I want to do it with you.” He was behaving like a misogynistic bastard. He is alpha of a pack. I’m an alpha female of my pack. He shouldn’t expect me to submit to him all the time.Evans snarled, his teeth extended as he jumped into the bed. He tried to get hold of my legs. I move further away. “Stop it Enzo. No means no, except you want to rape me.”“At this rate, I might. We aren’t humans who try to be rational when it comes to sex.” His eyes glowed. “I’ll only get pissed and get what I want the wolf way if you keep pushing me.”“Let go of
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 11: Punch
***Bryan***It took me five minutes to arrive at the pack house. Alpha Westby Mo was shouting orders. The warrior wolves taking every command he threw at them.“Yes sir!”Their voices echoed through the pack house. With that they storm out in a hurry.“Where are they off to?”“You are here?” Westby asked without lifting his head and ignoring my question. He stood with his hands in his pocket looking at the fire place.“What’s going on? Why did you send that kid to drag me out of the house at this time of the night?”He sighed. “If you had moved to the pack house when I told you to, I wouldn’t be sending a kid to come get you.” He lifted his head to look at me now. “A dead body was found in our territory. Before you ask. No, it wasn’t one of ours. The corpse belongs to the Anderson pack. We suspect he was stabbed in the heart before his body was thrown into the sea.”My eyes narrowed. It was a shock to me. I haven’t gone for hunting for a while now. I decided to lay low after the deat
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 12: A New Butler
***Scarlett***A week without Sir Vik has been filled with bitterness. I miss him. The silence in the household was tearing me apart. When i saw his corpse, I cried until I could cry no more.Why is this even happening to me? I keep losing those I care so much about.First the pack members, then my father, then Sir Vik. Who would be next?If I'm right, then I think I’m the next target. Or perhaps Dina Olsen, my bitchy stepmother. If only I knew what the wandering killer is after, I could know the next step to take and how to protect myself.My wolf is silent. She hid away because I forced her to. She’s shared in my weak moments. But she wants me to fight back and protect my pack myself. I’m alpha female. I’m not weak. My father never gave me the chance to prove myself.He was quick to throw me to Evans thinking the Anderson pack would be protected by our union. So far, things have only gotten worse.The mansion is currently empty. The staff had all gone away after what happened to Si
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 13: Inner Plans
***Bryan***Evans came to meet my Alpha, Westby, after what happened the other day with his beta, Holm. He was bent on making the Mos pay for a crime they didn’t commit.Something tells me he has something up his sleeves. We are rivals. Hating on us didn’t begin recently.His late father used to say he hates the Mos guts. The Foss and Mos do not mix together. They are proud and we hate the whole idea that they even exist. That pack is full of shit.On the other hand, the Andersons and the Mos have undertaken several projects together, Westby prefers them to the Foss. It’s sad that the Andersons had to unite with the Foss through that sham of a marraige. As a result of that, Westby doesn’t like the Andersons so much anymore; that’s because the friend of your enemy is your enemy.Two days ago I walked in on Lois speaking to Ingrid and a bunch of girlfriends. With wolf hearing, I could hear their discussion from across the hall.“Scarlett needs a new butler” Lois had told the others. She
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 14: Turned Down
***Bryan***I followed closely behind Lois. She casually turned the knob to let us into Scralett's house.“Aren’t you going to knock?” I asked, surprised that Lois felt so free.She spun around to look at me, her waist-length hair slapping my chest. “Are you for real? Knock? I have been here like a thousand times. I’m no stranger.” She closed the door after I got in.“Even though.” My voice was low. I look down at her. “She should know we are here before we barge into her house.”“She already knows, Bryan. Stop being to civil…I don’t like arguing with you because my head hurts when I do.”“Do I make you talk too much?”She sighed from defeat. “No.” she spanked my belly. I made a low growl and laugh. “That’s because you’re so tall. You make my head hurt by staring up at you during arguments.”She looked cute as she complained. I chuckled. “I’m sorry. It’s not my fault that I’m tall.”“Is anything the matter?” a sweet feminine voice rang out from above.Lois and I look up at the same ti
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 15: One Call Away
***Scarlett***I’ve never been caught breathless in my life. But the moment Bryan held my hand, I was gasping for air. The sensation from our touch spiraled through my whole body, shaking me at the core. My legs felt wobbly.That name, Bryan, it rang a bell. I liked it the moment it came out from Lois’ mouth. I almost thought he was my long lost Bryan, from twelve years ago. But I dismissed the thought immediately. Not everyone with the name Bryan is him. It can’t be him.I recalled meeting Lois’ friend when she and her mate, Curtis came to see me. I was too sad to pay attention to him or his striking features. He had left as soon as he came. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a chance to thank him for the visit.During our first contact—from the handshake, I had used the opportunity to drink in his whole appearance. Instantly, I knew taking him as my butler was a no–no.That’s why I pulled Lois to the kitchen for a talk. She can’t be serious. If that guy ends up working as my butler, I mi
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 16: E-motions
***Bryan***Since Lois dropped me off, I’ve been feeling low and defeated. Right now I’m staring at my phone because I can’t believe Scarlett called me.Getting turned down or rejected isn’t something that happens to me frequently. I had already imagined that Scarlett would approve of me and I would start working as her butler immediately. But the shock after she told Lois she could not was enormous.Lois apologized. I told her there was no need for her to apologize to me because Scarlett had a choice. We can’t force her to employ someone she sees as trouble. Sadly, that’s how she sees me.Lois only meant well for her friend. She wanted me close to her to watch over her for fear that whoever is killing the Andersons will get to her too. If Lois knew about my ill intentions towards her friend she wouldn’t want me going an inch near Scarlett.Five minutes ago, my phone rang, blaring to life. I couldn’t tell who was calling until I picked up the phone, then I froze.I had been lying in b
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 17: Her Motive
***Bryan***Their little whispers turned into a heated argument. The next thing, Evans walked down stairs. He shot me an angry glare. I paid him no attention. He clenched his hands into fists and gritted his teeth.“I want you gone now.” He pointed at the door. “We don’t need you as our butler. I will get her someone she would be comfortable with. Not someone who looks like a thug.”Before I could respond. Scarlett’s small feet ran down the staircase. Her eyes were moist and her cheeks had turned rosy. Obviously, she’s been crying. “Stop it, Evans. Why are you harassing him?”I rose to my full height. Cleared my throat. “Mrs. Scarlett, it seems my presence here is causing a bit of tension with your husband. I don’t have any intension troubles for you. I will be on my way now.”“No. Please wait.” She ran towards me, blocking my path. She turned around to face Evans, her back to me. “I don’t care what you say, Evans. This is my house. I can hire whoever I want. I need him as my butler a
