The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 65: The Good Neighbor
***Scarlett***Bryan hasn't been back to the house since the night we got to meet Lois at the pack. I missed him and I felt lonely living all alone in this house. To stay alive and out of sight, this is the price I have to pay. I was done preparing breakfast for myself. I ate up and began to clean up the house. The trash bin in the kitchen was filled up. I thought about leaving it until Bryan returns. But the kitchen would look messy if I did. I just have to step out and throw the dirt into the large trash bin outside. I emptied the kitchen trash bin into the larger one. I have never viewed this neighborhood up close until now. "Do you live here?" The deep voice startled me. I jumped away, then turned around to see a tall guy in sweatpants and a vest watching me. He had airpods on and looked like he was going for a run or jog. "Excuse me! Who are you?" I asked.He smiled, revealing how attractive his face was. "I'm sorry. I'm new here." He walked up to me. "My name is James.

***Bryan***This guy I just saw at my house with Scarlett when I drove in made me nervous. By the time I sniffed the air the third or forth time. I knew he was a lone wolf. He didn't have a pack. He looked at me, then back at Scarlett. "Don't hesitate to scream for help if you need me?" He smiled at her and left. I almost punched his face. Was he crazy? Did he see me as a threat to Scarlett to tell her that? "Huh. This is unbelievable." I scowled, my hands clenched. "I can see that guys do come over when I'm not around." "It's not what you think, Bryan. That's not what it looked like.""I'm not blind." "James came to fix my light. He said he's the new neighbor," I blurted. "James?" I asked in shock. "You even know his name. Why did you have to open the door for him when you don't even know if he's truly your neighbor? No one is supposed to know you're alive remember" "I thought it was you when I heard the knock. I was too excited to even ask who it was before I opened." she m

***Bryan***Evans frowned. "I don't understand how a butler like you is here playing the games top dogs play." "Well that's because I'm a top dog who likes to explore the world. Staying off the grid and disguising myself as a butler is fun. You should try it sometime.."He raised his middle finger at me. It was a hilarious way of him showing me the fuck you sign instead of saying it in words.I smiled and whispered. "Fuck you too." So low that I wouldn't give myself a bad impression on my first day here if anyone was to hear me. The meeting started shortly after everyone was present. After thirty minutes of boring talks, we got down to the real business. The president, Mason Kurt, gave a short detail of what we should be expecting. "With the unfortunate passing of Mrs Scarlett Anderson, her husband Evans Foss would like to sell off the shares. So I think this will be the best time for those interested in getting more shares in this company to do so. Especially our new shareholder
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 69: Sexual Tension (I)
***Bryan***Max made me feel guilty again. I probably would have been with Scarlett by now. But Max's warning kept me grounded. My mind was beginning to play games on me. I was having images of Scarlett being all nice to that James guy. Could this be jealousy? I doubt it. I don't love Scarlett. What I have for her is a desire I've never had for anyone before. She matches my energy perfectly. Even when I found out she was Debby, that feeling remained. I was thankful for what Debby did for me all those years, I made a promise to her that I'll come look for her when I get back. I realized after a few months of searching for Debby, that I was only grateful to her and wanted to find her again to thank her. What I must have seen as love as a boy was just appreciation for her kindness. The way I feel for Scarlett hasn't changed even after finding out she's Debby. When she said she was going to accept my decision and not complain. I expected that she was just being unnatural. Doesn't sh

***Scarlett***Bryan pulled over in the driveway. I was watching a programme on TV, when I heard the sound of his car. I know we didn't end on a goodnote last time he was here but I really missed him.He knocked on the door before I could open it. He was impatient with his knock. He banged harder on the door. "I'm coming, Bryan. Do you want to break the door down?"I unlocked the door and Bryan stormed in. He pushed the door close and locked it. He clenched his hands, his breathing fast. He shut his eyes. "I'm trying to control it," he whispered."What's going on? Are you okay" I asked. I touched him lightly. His eyes opened and a reddish amber glow stared back at me. I think I shouldn't have touched him. I stepped back from him but It was too late for me. He grabbed my arm. And pulled me close, taking my lips with a powerful need. I moaned at the feel of his calloused hand on my neck. I sniffed a weird scent on him. I froze. He broke the kiss and carried me to the couch.

***Bryan***Damn it! I slammed my fist on the couch. I never thought it through. I had hurt not only her feelings but her pride. All that I had in mind was how to rush here to Scarlett and let her quench the fire in my loins. I was going crazy without her. The deed was already done. With the sexual tension dissipated, I could think clearly, my stress was gone and I felt my mood brighten up. This could be done by no one but Scarlett. Ingrid wasn't capable ...the connection wasn't there.I went to shower, making sure every scent of Ingrid was washed out of my body. Not that I can smell her now because Scarlett's scents were all over. But I had to make sure I scrubbed myself properly. I don't want her going full military on me again like she did out there. After my shower, I checked my cabinet for a clean vest and shorts to wear. I gently open Scarlett’s bedroom door. She was lying in bed. Her comforter draped over her. I slipped into the bed hoping she wasn't going to have an outbu
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 71: Caged Feelings
***Scarlett***Bryan spent the night with me just as he promised. It's sad that we can't end up together. If we could, I would love to sleep next to him every night and wake up by his side each morning. It's obvious we couldn't get enough of each other. Each time the thought pops in my head about how I should fight to make Bryanmine, I dismiss it immediately. That is the promise I have to keep to myself. Wanting him to myself knowing fully well about the sad history behind us will cause him trouble with his pack. I understand that being with Ingrid might not be his choice but that pack took him in when he had nowhere else to go. He owes the Mo pack his life. I'm part wolf as well as part human, of course I'm jealous Ingrid gets to keep him, but what can I do? I see this as my punishment. How I wish things were different…I wish I could…"Good morning." Strong arms encircled my body. "How are you feeling?"My body reacted to Bryan's voice and touch. He pulled me closer, our nak
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 72: Get Over Him
***Scarlett***Before I could turn around to go in, I saw my neighbor, James. He waved at me, a broad smile on his face. I knew he was going for a run because he was dressed just as I had first seen him; although instead of shorts he had a pair of shorts on. "I can see you're still here." He yelled. "What happened to leaving?"I quickly rushed back in, embarrassed that he had caught me lying. And I really wanted him to mind his business. Staying around people who poke their noses isn't fun. "Hey, wait." James said, running in my direction. I locked the door just in time. I yelled from behind the locked door. "What do you want?" "Are you scared of me?" "Why should I? Speaking of being scared, I don't even know you." I hear a laugh in his voice. "Do you know everybody you talk to?" I Ignored him. "Are you there?""Just leave, please. I don't want Bryan coming back to see you here." "Why would he come back? He just left." "So you've been monitoring him." He laughed. I couldn'
