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.
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 32: The Proposition
***Scarlett***I coughed up some more. The sudden rush of air into my lungs gave my body a jolt making my chest ache even more.I felt like I was being electrocuted back to life. Powerful hands kept me from collapsing. I still felt dizzy and my throat was so dry. The feeling of the cool breeze on my skin was soothing. I opened my eyes gently.Three men stared at me. They were all on their knees. One of them was naked.My eyes widened. Their eyes narrowed. It was like they had seen something growing out of my head. I recognized one of the faces. The naked one.“Bryan…is that you?” My body’s function wasn’t fully back, so I couldn’t pick his scent yet.He nodded. “Are you okay?”“Yes, I am.” I looked at the other two guys. They were strangers, although one of them was looking at me in a weird way. I think I’ve met him recently.I slowly took in the nature of my surrounding. A big hole was right in front of me. I whimpered. “What happened here? Bryan how are we here? And where are your cl
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 33: Soft Spot
***Bryan***“I’m not interested,” I blurted out. It was a very mouthwatering offer. But I’m not crazy to take her to my pack.The only person that may not tear to pieces was her friend Lois. Lois strongly believed that Scarlett's pack are innocent.She held onto my clothes tightly. “Please…I know you want to take him down for what he did to you.” she sobbed, her hands shaking. “I want to crush him. Wreck him until he wishes he were dead.”“What you’re asking for is suicide," I whispered. "My pack would capture and hang you the moment they set eyes on you. Max here alrady wants to skin you alive.”“I know but that’s my best bet.” Droplets of tears made way to the ground. I couldn’t resist feeling sorry for her.There was something that was pulling me towards Scarlett despite knowing who she really was. It was impossible to hate her no matter how I tried. I was only acting like I did, but that wasn’t what I truly felt inside. “I want to remain dead to Evans,” she revealed.“How do you
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 35: The Common Enemy
***Bryan***The receptionist told me Scarlett hadn’t stepped out since we booked in. She’s a nice woman who had agreed to carry out some favors for me. I asked her to make sure Scarlett got what she needs. Gave her some money to help get Scarlett some clothes too.Now, I was shocked, seeing how Scarlett gripped a man while he held on to her shoulder.I felt like walking over to them yanking her away from him. She didn’t know who this man was and he was drunk. How could she be so careless?I was about to shut the door in his face, when he muttered. “You’ve… changed. But ...I can smell you, Bryan Haaland.”My heart dropped to my stomach. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I was quick to recover from the shock because few seconds after spewing that nonsense from his mouth, I shut the door.No one other than Alpha Westby and Max knew that I'm Bryan Haaland. Who was he? And how did he know that?Lois was staring at the door. “What did that man just say? He called you Bryan Haaland.”
