The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 25: The Pendant
***Scarlett***“Oh…I’m okay.” My voice trembled, my knees buckled, and a cold sweat trickled down my spine as I struggled to keep my composure. “Let...me see that.” I collected the necklace from her. “Are you saying he went back into the house to get this?”“You find it absurd too, right?”It looked exactly like mine.This means one thing. It had to be him. I recalled twelve years ago when that boy got two pairs of this necklace. He gave one to me and he kept the other. It was his way of saying he was glad I helped him. It was a token of his love. A very short time with him that felt like forever. I had left school to get a gift for my mom. It was her birthday. I wanted to surprise her with a cute wool scarf. I had seen a wool scarf that would look lovely on her.I saved up some little money and decided to get it for her as her birthday present. Then I was ambushed by four boys. I knew them from school. They were bullies.They yanked at my backpack and pushed me into an alley. I was
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 26: My Decision
***Scarlett***When I arrived home and Evans wasn’t in. I looked everywhere…searched the whole mansion for him.I stepped out to ask Jim, the gate man.Jim was the new gateman I had to hire after the old one fled, scared that he’ll end up like Sir Vik.“Hey, Jim. Have an idea where my husband went?”“He drove out not long ago.”“But it's past midnight. Where would he be heading to?”“Perhaps, the pack house.” Jim suggested.“Thanks Jim. I would make a call and find out if he’s there.” I sighed.I feel stressed. Evans wasn’t picking my calls.I scrolled through my phone to search for somwone to call.I decided to call Sterling, my pack's beta. He was working under Evans now.There was a small crisis after we merged our packs. Evans’ beta, Holm, refused to step down for Sterling. It was the fair thing to do beacuse Evans was overseeing both packs now, so the beta is supposed to be someone from the Anderson pack.Till this moment the crisis is still ongoing because Holm is too stubborn t
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 26: Walking Away
***Scarlett***The thought of Bryan was the only thought that made me feel better...and sad.He was returned to Silvercrest Range but didn't comeback for me. My happiness quickly turned to sadness when I reminded myself that he’s injured because of me. Maybe he doesn’t remember me. I gripped onto my necklace.When Bryan gets well and hears of my Pack's Involvement in what happened to him, he will hate me. Even if I told him the truth that my pack has nothing to do with it and that it was all Evans's doing. He would still hate me.I screamed into my pillow, throwing punches at it. Ahhh... This is so Frustrating!Evans isn't home yet. The images of him and Dina together kept assaulting me. What I saw at the Foss pack house meant that a lot was going on that I didn’t know about. Hell! I didn’t even know what was going on in my own pack house. I had left everything in the hands of Evans except for my father’s business. Even that, I had once considered involving him in the business before
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 27: Going In
***Bryan***My pack didn’t want me to go back to the Anderson’s territory. I told them I had to. With the allegations…I needed to meet Scarlett myself and confirm.I was told she came to see me last night. I didn’t want to believe that her pack was responsible for this. They had no reason to unless…yes, unless someone in the pack finally found out that I'm the one killing their pack members, which is very unlikely.I saved Scarlett yesterday. Instead of her husband to thank me, he humiliated me.I didn’t retaliate because I knew very soon I will be achieving my goal. It’s a promise that I made to myself. I’m going to be the one who kills him and Scarlett too. I loathe her now!I heard her conversation with her damned husband. She knew he was the one who sent someone to set my house on fire. After saving her, this is how she and her mate repay me…with death. Ungrateful bastards!I packed my car in the packing lot, got out and headed towards the pack house. I hadn’t reached the door when
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 28: Payback Time
***Bryan***It was past midnight and the lights were out; as expected. I noticed the gate man wasn’t at his post. Then I thought to myself, maybe he had gone to the restroom.I sighed, watching Scarlett’s massive mansion from where I stood. I had no idea how I was going to break in. But that isn’t a problem. I came here to achieve one thing and I wouldn’t leave until it’s done.I was considering that it would be better if I ended my revenge mission with Evans and Scarlett both dead. The pack members who had no idea what happened twelve years ago would be let to live. Although I haven't concluded yet. But it hurts to recall how innocent young and old, men, women and children were wiped out that night and they called it “a rogue attack”. What a joke! Rogues that were never tracked and found by the authorities in Silvercrest Range.I was certain Scarlett and Evans aren’t the only ones taking their last breath tonight. I had made arrangements for the guards too, but the house was as quie
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 29: Living with the Enemy
***Scarlett***I’ve been a fool. Never have I ever thought my life will be ruined before I even started living it…now, I was crushed in every possible way by my own mate; emotionally, mentally, socially, name it! Being tied to this chair with silver chains was the only thing stopping me from ripping Dina’s throat out. How could she? She killed my father…I once had this thought. I knew my father couldn’t be killed so easily without the help of an outsider.It’s heartbreaking to discover that the killing was carried out by those he trusted and called family. Not strangers. I never trusted Dina! Not even for a second.Finally, she’s shown me who she really is.It looked like it’s been her plan for a long time now. She and Evans were both shameless to even kiss right in front of me.It makes perfect sense now. He told me his relationship with Dina was business. She helped Evans take my father out. But why? For what reason would Dina destroy her marriage by killing her own mate.I couldn’
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 30: Karma
***Bryan***I watched Scarlett convulse after Evans injected her. A part of me wanted me to get out of the house. Of course, what was happening was none of my business. They can kill each other if they want. This was Karma at work.My enemies were trying to take each other down. What revenge could be better than this? It meant less blood on my hands.“Dina, over to you. I have no doubt she hid it in the safe. I've checked this house a week ago and didn't find the papers.”Dina nodded. “That’s not a problem. It would be over there in her father’s safe. Breaking safes nowadays isn’t a problem. That’s another reason why Holm brought George.”“George get ready to do the most important part of the job.” Evans commanded.Dina walked to the dressing table. She gave it a slight push and it revealed a structure in the wall…it was the safe.George was done breaking the safe within three minutes. Dina brought the items in the safe, she brought something that looked like a file out.“Anything?” Ev
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 31: Having a Heart
***Bryan***I don’t need to…no I need to. These rants kept on ticking in my head, like a clock.I watched Evans and the others leave the forest.I shifted and picked up my phone to call Max. He answered on the first ring.“What’s up? How did it go?”“I need your help, Max.”“Wait a minute. Were you caught?” he asked.“That’s not it. I couldn’t go through with the plan. Something came up.” I answered impatiently. “Max I need you to come toward the Port. The untarred short cut that leads to the port. I'll be waiting. And please bring some shovels and drag Adam here too.”“What’s going on? Why would you want shovels and Adam?”“Max, save the questions for later. Please tell Adams to get his antidote bag. He shouldn’t leave any antidote behind.”“Ok. We’ll be there in twenty minutes.”“No!” I yelled. “Please be here as fast as you can. She only has about twenty-five more minutes.” I looked at the time on my screen.“Who is—”“Max. Damn it!” I yelled, stoping him from asking more questions.
