The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 15: 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 th
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 16: 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,
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 17: 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
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 18: 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 butl
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 19: Work Description
***Scarlett*** I knew things would turn out this way. But I went ahead. I don’t care anymore. Actually, I stopped caring a while ago. I was giving into my fears, which I don’t want to do anymore. I'm done! Evans can go to hell! My first reaction towards Bryan was out of fear. I was scared that I was going to lose myself to him. I wouldn’t deny the fact that I was turned on by him. Bryan’s looks made all the other guys I have seen look boring, even Evans can’t compete with him if he wanted to. His smile was so friendly and I couldn’t stop looking at his eyes as they sparkled so brightly. His sharp masculine features were screaming warrior and although I don’t know much about him, when I shook his hand yesterday, it felt like the hand of a warrior, strong and callouse like a protector's. I instantly felt safe with him. It’s no accident that the first person that came to my mind after I was attacked yesterday was him. If someone like Bryan were around the house, I would feel safe. I’
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 20: Distress Call (I)
***Bryan*** Fate tossing such a big opportunity at me was unexpected. Living with Scarlett under the same roof had to be a dream. I still can’t believe she proposed that in front of her husband She stood her ground and stuck to her decision; despite her husband’s displeasure. “Are you saying she said all that in front of that jerk?” Lois shook the bottle of pepper sauce over her pasta dish. “That’s brave of her. Not like she can’t. She’s Alpha female by the way and she’s wealthy. Evans should respect her too.” I dropped by Lois’ apartment as soon as I got back to my pack’s territory. I needed to update her on what had happened so far. Just like me, she doesn't live in the pack house, since she and Curtis value their privacy. Sometimes it amazes me how both Lois and I became fast friends so quickly. I only got to know her after my return five months ago, but now we were besties. She has a cousin who serves in the Military, Josh Wold, whom I was acquainted with - maybe that also fur
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 21: Distress Call (II)
***Scarlett*** I revved up my engine, overtaking the cars that were ahead of me. I looked down at my watch—It’s two minutes until I get to the port. My instincts kept yelling at me that I wasn’t going to find Scarlett on this road. This is the main road and it made sense because those werewolves wouldn’t be stupid to attack her here where the road was busy. The bastards could get hit by speeding cars. They wouldn’t want to hurt themselves in the process of chasing after her. I took a sharp turn, leaving the main road and driving into a narrow untarred road. It was a shortcut that led to the port. I kept switching glances from my phone to my watch, I was hoping I would see a call from Scarlett. But none came. I’m aware of my primary mission, which is to kill Alpha Ashley Anderson’s daughter, the man who took everything away from me. But right now I was holding back. I asked myself. For what exactly? Is it because Lois asked me to make sure she is safe? Or do I really want Scarlett
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 22: Rescued
***Scarlett*** I was about giving up. My legs strained and tightened as my paws dug deep into the dirt. i kkept on running and gasping for air, my lungs felt like they were about to explode. Six werewolves were onto me. They were so close…snarling and howling. Keep running! I screamed in my head. I thought I was out of reach until I heard one of the wolves behind me, it was so close. It had to be the biggest werewolf I have ever seen in my life. Fear gripped my stomach. I ran faster. But the monster grabbed me. Before I knew what was happening, we were rolling on the forest floor. Hell, I wasn’t going to die like this. Not without a fight. I scratched him and made sure my claws sink deep into his thighs, so deep that I could shred those thighs in one go. He lets out a growl, howling in pain. His strong hands held me tightly...restraining and preventing me from releasing myself. I fought hard to bite him but he was just too strong. I waited for that fatal bite from him or perhaps
