***Scarlett*** If I’m going to lose everything in the process of fighting Evans, I’m willing to drag him down to the end. He crushed me. I will strike him back when he least expects it and in the worst way possible. I swear it! I clenched my hands into fist. “I’m going to make sure that he suffers. I’ll begin with retrieving the document from the house.” “Where did you hide it?” Bryan asked. “Evans and Dina searched your father’s safe that night but they couldn’t find anything. He said he was going to check the house again.” “I hid it in my room.” “The same room where Evans held you captive?" His brow arched. He looked surprised. "You mean it was in there and they couldn’t find it?” Bryan couldn't hide his disbelief. “That’s because I hid it where he wouldn't think much of. In the ceiling.” “Why did you take it out of the safe?"he asked. "Does that mean you’ve always suspected that Evans was after your money and would one day want to have it?” I shook my head. “
***Bryan*** Scarlett moved to Lois’ apartment. The plan is for her to be in a safe place until the storm settles. No one is supposed to know she’s alive. If Evans get an idea that Scarlett isn’t dead, then we might never be able to get our revenge. I’ve been observing Scarlett lately. The way she stares at me. It’s different. I know she feels drawn to me too. I always sense her happy wolf at the surface. However, I’m concerned because I can smell her anxiety as well. It’s like she wants to tell me something but she is holding back. I might not have been able to control my desire with Scarlett even after what her father did or her husband, Evans. I tried to but I find myself wanting her more. She was only unfortunate to have Alpha Ashley Anderson as her father. I was blinded by rage, it's why I wanted to get her laid and kill her after. The night I brought her to the hotel, at some point I stopped to asked myself if Scarlett deserve to suffer for what her father did. We had an a
***Bryan*** “Where are you off to with a moody look?” I hadn’t seen Jensen coming in the opposite direction. He was probably going to see Alpha Westby to give his reports. I sighed, brushing my hair aggressively with my hands. “I’ve been put on a tightrope.” “Excuse me.” Jensen crossed his arm and glared at me. “How difficult is this situation of yours? You look like you’re about to drop dead.” “Maybe I might drop dead.” “Hey, you are keeping me in suspense,” Jensen muttered. “Alpha Westby and the Luna want me to get married to Ingrid. She will be my Luna when I become Alpha.” “Oh…that’s good news if you ask me.” I scowled. “How is that good news? As the Beta of this pack I understand how a union between mates should be good news to you. But asides that I don’t see how this is anything good.” Jensen rubbed his palms and leaned forward. “Ingrid is a very beautiful woman.” “Obviously! Should that make me happy enough to get married to her?” “Well, I know so many g
***Scarlett*** My heart dropped to my stomach. Max has been cold towards me. I don’t understand the hatred he has for me or the reason behind it. Although I appreciated that he was among those who were guarding my secret of being alive. Bryan trusts him, I have no choice but to trust him too. I had used the opportunity of being alone with Bryan to ask about the necklace. I only needed a confirmation that he was the Bryan …the Bryan I had met long time ago. All his answers were right. It matched exactly what happened all those years. I was surprised when he said the girl’s name was Debby. I was shocked because I had didn't remeber that thae name I had given him was a name I used no more. I had forgotten that I had introduced myself to that homeless boy as Debby. It was a pet name only my mother called me when she was alive. My foolishness was glaring when Bryan said he had searched everywhere for the girl named Debby but hadn't found her yet. I was about to reveal that I w
***Bryan*** “Damn it!" I yelled and punched the wall behind me, leaving a large whole. I shut my eyes in disappointment and anger. “What happened back there between you two?” Max asked, sounding curious. “I thought you would control yourself until it was the right time to tell her who you really are. And we both agreed that will be after you two got your revenge on Evans.” “I couldn’t take it anymore. She was getting on my nerves. She has so much trust in her father. I hated that she kept seeing him as a saint.” Max sighed. “Well, the deed is already done. What would you do now? Will you still help her out? It seemed she really made you angry. I’ve never seen you lose your temper like that. Not even when your house was set ablaze with you in it.” he looked at me and his forehead creased. “Or is there something more between you two?” “How do you mean?” I asked. I clenched and unclenched my fist, trying to control myself. If no one were to be in that house when Scarlett and I h
***Scarlett*** I stared at the food on the table. I didn’t feel like eating anything. “Why aren’t you eating?” Lois leaned forward to ask. “Stop picking on your food.” “Lois. Don’t you hate me?” I asked “Hate you? Why should I?” “You should.” I looked up at her. “My father wasn’t who I thought he was.” “You aren’t your father, Scarlett. You didn’t even know something like that happened.” “It doesn’t change a thing.” I picked a tissue on the table and blew my nose. “Bryan is supposed to hate me forever, I and my family have caused him so much pain.” “I don’t think Bryan hates you. If he did, he wouldn’t have saved you from Evans or helped you.” Lois words were giving me hope. Bryan must be a man with a heart of gold to help his enemy’s daughter. “If I’m fair, I don’t think I deserve his forgiveness. But why would they have done something like that?” “Greed and power. I was also a kid when I heard about the unfortunate incident. It’s sad Bryan had to grow up all alo
***Scarlett*** Lois climbed into bed to lie down. I roll over to my side of the bed since we were both sharing a bed. I preferred staying here with her rather than the room she gave to me. “Does he love her?” “Who?” “Bryan. Does he love Ingrid?” I repeated. My mind kept racing. I knew there was no way I was going to benefit from whatever the answer was. whether Bryan loves her or not, I can never have Bryan for myself because of who I was to him. “Umm… that’s a tough question. All I know is that Ingrid is madly in love with Bryan,” Lois said. “Everyone in the Mo pack knows Ingrid like him. I can say he respects her.” I rolled my eyes, then dropped my head on the pillow. “What was that? Why did you react like that? Aren’t you happy they are ending up together.” “I’m not sure.” I answered. I’m the last person to rejoice at such a news. This was distressing so me. With the situation on ground Bryan and I can never be together. I know this. But my heart still aches
***Bryan*** I can’t leave now. Not when I’m close to getting the documents. I had just gotten into the house when Max called me to inform me that Evans is back in town. They heard he stopped at his pack house. They told me to abort the mission. Well not so fast. I can’t go running off when he wasn’t even here. I told them I want going to leave without the documents. No one was in the house at the moment. Although the gateman was at his duty post. I had to sneak in through the fence, just like last time. The bedroom still had Scarlett’s scent. However, it was beginning to fade away. Evans scent was the more dominant scent here. It’s natural for his scent to overpower hers since she hasn’t been in this house or room for a while. I was tall enough for my hands to touch the ceiling, but I needed support to be able to feel the part cut out and put my hands through. I picked the chair at the corner of the room to step on it. I knocked through the ceiling until I found the part th
