***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
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 48: Ugly Fate
***Scarlett*** He found out, so I had no choice but to tell him. Left to me, if he never found the necklace and a picture of me wearing it I would have buried the truth. I liked that Bryan still cherished that little girl. I wasn't that girl anymore. For all I know, he hates me. Bryan placed the necklace and the picture on the sofa next to me. "That's the document," he whispered. He turned to Lois and Curtis. "I'm sorry I acted wild." He walked out with a limp. His friends obviously were speechless from what had just transpired between me and Bryan. Max was the one to leave after him. "Bryan. Wait up." Lois came to me and pulled me in an embrace. "This is so messed up, Scarlett." "I know. I never wanted him to know I was that girl he met. Why does my path and his cross in the most cruel way." A hand rubbed my shoulder. I didn't have to turn to know that they were Curtis's hand. He was trying to console me. He rubbed my shoulder for a few more seconds before walkin
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 49: Pack War
***Bryan***"What?" I jerked my feet away from the table I had stretched them on. "What do you mean a fight broke out at the bar?""Activities were going on as usual. Everything was okay at first." Cary, one of our pack members explained. "Alpha Evans came asking questions about you. No one told him anything, so he got mad and destroyed the furniture and drinks. He had customers running out of there. As we speak there's a fight going on at the bar.""Where's Beta Jensen?" "I think I saw him few minutes—"Speak of the devil and he appears. Jensen walked to meet me in the common room."Bryan, do you know there's—""Cary just told me," I muttered, not allowing him to complete his sentence. "Is he crazy? That's one of Alpha Westby’s bars. Why would he go on a rampage? That guy is going crazy." Jensen's brow crooked. "Are you sure the death of his wife hasn't made him insane?" "He was asking for Bryan. He said if no one tells him where Bryan is, he was going to destroy the place?" Je
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 50: Hopeful
***Scarlett*** Everything looks peaceful from here. The outside of the bar was quiet. No one would know anything was going on inside. I lay down lower at the back seat trying to see what was happening from Lois' car. She had refused to take me with her at first. But I was too persistent. I wanted to go by all means. My heart jumped right out of my mouth when Lois said a fight had broken out at a bar that belonged to the Mo pack because of Evans. Lois had ran in there not up to ten minutes ago and surprisingly, Evans was already out of there. He was untouched except for his men who got roughed up and a few had visible tears on their clothes. On seeing Evans, the horror of that night begins to seep into my mind once again. It was like reliving the experience all over again. I wasn't comfortable until Evans drove away from the vicinity with his men. I waited for several more minutes in the car. I wasn't complaining because I could stare at Bryan all I wanted. My feelings for
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 51: Mixed Emotions
***Bryan***Staying away from Scarlett was the hardest thing ever. I almost hugged her when it became glaring that she is truly Debby. But I had mixed emotions. Fate wasn't fair to me. The stronger the attraction I feel for Scarlett, the more I see reasons why we can't be together. My mixed reaction was the reason why I left the night she told me who she was. I didn't know how to react. Since the kiss at the hotel, I've been wanting to kiss her again. I never got another chance until now. I kissed her to answer her question. That kiss represents how much I wanted her and how I can't bring myself to kill her despite being the daughter of an enemy. How I feel about her hasn't changed one. It hurts that Scarlett is tied to the ugly side of my story. A girl who I taught to be an angel and a life saver turned out to be the daughter of a man I've dreamed of killing all my life. "Hey? Bryan." Max tapped me."Hey." I quickly said after regaining my thought. I looked up at him from where
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 52: The War Has Begun (I)
***Scarlett***Lois had seen when Bryan kissed me. I didn't have an explanation to give her. She was curious to know what Bryan meant by that kiss too. I told her I was as lost as she is. She told me she was curious to know because Ingrid who Bryan would be getting married to was her close friend too. So knowing Bryan's next step in this situation was vital. I had to tell her I wasn't going to ruin any body's relationship because I'll be selfish to want Bryan for myself after what my father had done to him. We were in the middle of having this conversation when she got a text that there was an emergency meeting. She quickly grabbed her things to head to the venue, promising that we would continue our discussion when she gets back. It's 3:00 am in the morning. She wasn't back yet and neither is she picking her call. I went back to bed. I decided I was going to call Curtis tomorrow as soon as I wake up if she's not back yet. My alarm for 6:00 am woke me up. After stretching my bod
