The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 40: Hard Decision
***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
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 41: Heartbreak
***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
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 42: Final Decision
***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
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 44: Abort!
***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
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 45: The Other Pair
***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
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 46: The Reveal
***Scarlett*** My heart thundered in my chest. Bryan didn’t pick of any of his calls. I was worried. Max told Lois to try with her own line, that perhaps Bryan didn’t want to pick my calls at the moment. Lois tried too but he never picked. I couldn’t calm anymore. I faced Max. “If Bryan gets caught by Evans and his men. I don’t think he will survive this time.” “That shouldn’t even happen because that would mean war. Alpha Westby hates the Foss pack. If they laid a finger on Bryan, then it will get bloody.” Max muttered. “With the news of your death, there was no way he could ask you the relevant questions regarding the allegations that your pack attacked him.” “I can’t stay here Lois. I’m going to go there.” “Are you crazy?” Lois shrieked. She yanked me by my arm me. “If you go and they happen to see you then what would you say all this was for? What about your revenge? Will you mess up everything by revealing that you’re alive.” “Then do you all expect me to sit her
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 47: Deep Aching
***Bryan*** Scarlett opened gently to look back at me, her eyes widened, obviously shocked. "Is your tongue tied up? Answer me!" I snarled. I couldn't control my emotions despite the pain. She has to explain to me how she has the necklace. "Bryan what has gotten over you?" Lois yelled from behind me. I could hear Curtis's low growl. I hoped I hadn't hurt Lois from that push. "Stay out of this Lois." Scarlett was trembling, too scared to speak. She looked guilty as though she had committed a crime, her eyes avoiding my gaze. "I…I" she struggled to say something but it wasn't forthcoming. "How did this necklace come to be used in your house?" I asked. "You asked me how I got the necklace on my neck the last time I was here and now all of the same, I found an exact pair in your bedroom. You told me you didn't know who Debby was even though you were so curious." Every other person in the room went silent. I sense them move closer. Max was the first to take a quick loo
