The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 109: Picking Up Stones
***Bryan***I woke up to the sound of my pack members stirring outside the pack house. I stretched, arching my back and extending my claws, before emerging into the bright sunlight. Unlike other mornings where it was usually quiet and more than half of the pack were usually asleep. This time we were all awake because of something terrible that happened. Adam is missing…As I made my way to the center of the pack house, I noticed a sense of unease in the air. I quickly hoped that nothing bad had happened to him. The pack members were huddled together, whispering among themselves. I approached them, my senses on high alert."Have we got anything on him?" I asked, my voice low and even."Not yet," one of the pack members replied, her voice trembling. "But we have a bad feeling about this. Someone said a dead body was found in town. Jensen and the others have gone to identify the body."My heart skipped a beat as I processed the information. This can't be. Why would anyone hurt Adam? Ad
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 110: Watching the Enemy
***Scarlett*** For three days, I watched Evans from afar, studying his movement. The bastard was always surrounded by his pack members, never leaving himself vulnerable. But I was patient, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. I recently asked James to send someone he trusts to my pack so I could talk to Sterling. I wanted someone who would be my eyes and ears. This time I wanted my revenge to be felt hard by that ungrateful jerk. Killing Evans was not only the revenge I crave for but if I'm successful, it would be a generous act to the wolf community and mankind as a whole. Crazy jerk. That moment came when Sterling, the beta of my pack, approached me. I've longed for this meeting. He walked in with James to meet me. He hugged me. "Luna, I'm glad you're okay. When we heard you ran off, we were so worried. I searched for you everywhere." "I had to lay low for a while because of Evans." I explained. "That's good since it's the only way you can get him off your back.
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 111: Weeping Heart
***Scarlett***I walked alongside James, my eyes scanning the aisles of the grocery store. We were just picking up a few essentials, but I was grateful for the distraction. My mind has been consumed by thoughts of Bryan lately. That's because James told me the Mo territory has been in a celebratory mode for the past few days. When he told me that, I knew it was about Bryan's wedding and his coronation as the next alpha. As we turned a corner, I caught sight of a familiar figure. Bryan…Talk of the devil. At first, I refused to believe that he was the one. I just assumed that the thought of him had begun to make me hallucinate. How could he just materialize when I was thinking so much of him. My heart skipped a beat as I saw him laughing with Ingrid, his mate to be. I felt a pang of jealousy and heartache. I closed my eyes thinking he would disappear. But he didn't , neither did ingrid. Finally, I accepted that it was Bryan in flesh and blood and not my mind playing tricks on me. He
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 112: Complicated History
***Bryan***I stormed out of the grocery store, my heart pounding in my chest, so loud that I could hear it. The anger and hurt I was feeling was driving me crazy. Seeing Scarlett with James was like a punch to the gut. I couldn't believe that all this while that I was thinking she was all alone, she actually wasn't. How can she hang around James like they've known each other forever? I drove to the pack house, ignoring Ingrid throughout the drive. My mind is consumed by thoughts of Scarlett and James together. I couldn't shake the image from my head. The way his arm wrapped around her delicate body. I swallowed. Upon sighting the parking lot, I quickly pulled my car into my packing space and hurried into the house. Ingrid was behind, calling out to me. "Wait! Bryan, what's wrong? Did I do something wrong?""Let me be for now. I'll see you later," I said without turning around. I knocked on Lois' door, concern etched on her face when she looked at me. "Bryan, what's wrong?"I
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 113: The Foss Party
***Scarlett*** I couldn't believe what Sterling had just said to me. "Evans is having a party at the Foss pack house tomorrow night?" I repeated, my mind racing with dozen possibilities. Sterling nodded, his eyes flashed with excitement. "Yes, and it's the perfect opportunity for us to put our plan into action." I felt the rush of adrenaline at the thought of finally taking down Evans. James, who was standing beside me, squeezed my hand in support. I took James gesture kindly. I didn't want be harsh on him despite turning him down frequently as he kept trying to win me over. "We need to make sure everything is in place," I said, hoping our plan is going to turn out well. Sterling nodded. "I've already taken care of incapacitating Evans' men. They'll be unavailable by the time we arrive and I'll send spies to the party." I nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. "And what about Evans?" Sterling smiled. "Leave that to me. I'll make sure he's nice and drunk by the
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 114: Take Me There
***Bryan*** I walked into the hall, my heart racing with anticipation. It was a huge celebration at the pack. Adam had returned. When it was announced a minutes ago, I thought it was a dream, not until I saw everyone running to meet him. Adam was sitting on a chair, his eyes red and puffy. He had bruises all over him, although they were beginning to heal. I could tell he had been crying too. "Adam, what happened to you?" I asked, my voice deep. Adam looked up at me, his eyes filled with sadness. "Scarlett saved me," he said, his voice shaking. A sudden rush of blood to my brain made me kneel before him. I grabbed his hand."What do you mean? Where did you see her?" I asked. Adam took a deep breath. "Evans kidnapped me and tortured me to be a spy for him. He wanted me to tell on you and reveal vital information about you. But I refused. It happend that Scarlett had planned with her friends to kill Evans. She burned down the mansion. That was how she discovered me and saved me."
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 115: Can't Be Together
***Scarlett*** I was standing outside, trying to process everything that had happened. The happiness I felt from sending Evans to hell can't be quantified. Then I saw Bryan walking towards me. At first, I thought I was hallucinating not until his car got closer. I was surprised to see him, and I instantly knew that Adam had directed him here. As Bryan approached me, I could see the concern in his eyes. I almost broke down in tears when he wrapped his arms around me. I was taken aback, not just because he pulled me into a hug but also because people were around us, watching. "Bryan you need to leave. People are already looking strangely at us," I said in a pleading tone. He hugged me tightly and then cupped my cheeks and kissed me deeply. "Bryan, what are you doing?" I asked, pulling away from him. "I don't care who is watching. I missed you and I want to feel you close to me." "You shouldn't be here," I blurted with a warning. "Someone who knows who you are might recog
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 116: Caught In the Middle
***Bryan*** I couldn't shake off the feeling of frustration that had been building up inside me. I knew deep down that the woman I wanted to be with was Scarlett, not Ingrid. But I had committed to marrying Ingrid out of respect for her father, and It's difficult to back out now. Ingrid was beyond happy about our upcoming marriage, but I just couldn't muster up the same enthusiasm. She noticed my distance and came to talk to me. . "Nothing's wrong," I lied without looking up. at her. "I'm just anxious about the wedding being only two days away. that's all." But Ingrid wasn't buying it. She tried to seduce me, but I turned her down. My wolf wanted to have sex too, of course it's been a while. My wolf wanted someone else, not ingrid. Now that I knew where Scarlett was, I couldn't help but feel the urge to go to her. It would have been better if Adam hadn't told me her location. Max walked in on us and saw Ingrid crying. "What's going on here?" he asked, his voice stern.

The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 130: Epilogue
***Scarlett***The hall had turned into chaos. Alpha Westby wasn't the gentle man he appeared to be in front of his pack. His patience was running out as he couldn't deal with his daughter's defiance any longer. "No, father. Please don't push me." "Why don't you want to listen to her?" Bryan asked , his tone firm. "She's right about how I don't have feelings for her. I love Scarlett." "You kids think you know better than your elders or parents." He pulled ingrid towards him. "Love isn't everything. Some things are not as they seem." "Father!" Ingris yelled in pain, holding her arms. "I'm not going to marry Bryan.""You must!""I won't. You were there that night." Ingrid faced her father with so much defiance in her eyes. Alpha Westby's eyes flickered. "What are you talking about?" "You know what you did to Bryan's pack. You and the Alpha of the Foss and the Anderson pack planned on wiping out the Haaland." My heart pounded in my chest. I couldn't believe what Ingrid was saying
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 129: Wedding Day Saga
***Scarlett***I avoided the front seat like a plague. I would have preferred to sit in the back but I would struggle to keep up with the view because of my height. I found a perfect spot in the middle. In no time the hall was filled and everyone had taken their seats. Bryan looks dashing and handsome just as I had imagined he would turn out to be. Soon after Alpha Westby walked in with his daughter, the bride. She was holding onto him and smiling but I couldn't be deceived by her smile because she was forcing it. She stood in front of Bryan who returned a smile. Bryan and Ingrid's wedding was supposed to be a joyous occasion. But it wasn't so because Ingrid broke down in tears, her body shuddering uncontrollably. It was shocking to see but the greatest shock was when she didn't return the vow and rejected Bryan. The murmurings filled the room. I wondered why Ingrid did what she did? Luckily, Adam was nice to sit next to me. "What's going on?" I whispered to Adam who looked as
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 128: Moving Ahead
***Scarlett***In silence, I watched every member of my pack from the balcony. It's been a very long time since I saw them happy. My pack had insisted that we hold a little celebration for defeating the Foss pack. I went with their suggestion and I'm glad they are all rejoicing. I couldn't forget about the photo I had seen. I knew if Bryan was close or if I were to see him, things would be much easier. He would be able to identify if he was related to the unknown man in the picture. As I continued watching, my mind drifted towards the thoughts of Alpha Westby. Something in me didn't trust that man, not after what he said to me when he came to meet me at the packhouse I was staying with James. His words were so harsh that I knew he wasn't bluffing. He didn't want me in Bryan's life and he wasn't going to tolerate seeing us together. I am a threat to his daughter's love life. I think Alpha Westby isn't the good man he pretends to be. That was the conclusion I got that day he came
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 127: An Unhappy Groom
***Bryan***If only I could have what my heart desires, I would want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with the woman I love. At first all I ever cared about was toa avenge the death of my pack. After meeting Scarlett everything changed. All that mattered to me was her. It's not surprising that Fate brought us together again after our path once crossed when we were much younger. Now, I'm stuck. Without Scarlett, I'm lost. In less than twenty-four hours, I'll be married to Ingrid. Will be referred to as her husband and as the alpha to the Mo pack. There's nothing much I can do about my situation. Holding onto some of the happy memories with Scarlett was giving me a form of peace. Even while I sat alone thinking of how tomorrow would turn out, I can't help but think about how Scarlett was coping. I heard she's been discharged and is doing great. Knowing she's alive after what Event did is enough to be grateful. "What are you doing?" Max asked, his eyes scanning
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 126: The Battle
***Scarlett***Just as I feared, Holm and the men loyal to Evans began to attack my pack. We had selected an Alpha, Bill, who everyone had agreed to support as the leader of the pack. Sterling never wanted to contest for the Alpha position in the first place, although I would have loved it if he did. He wanted to remain the pack's beta. Holms' attacks had become frequent, so we had to make a plan. One containing the element of surprise. We made a plan and everyone agreed with it. We are to attack the Foss pack before dawn tomorrow. I'm sure they wouldn't be expecting it. The time came for us to storm into the Foss pack house. Bill led us and we carried out our plan successfully. Even though we surprised the Foss with our attack, the battle between our pack was fierce. In the end, my pack emerged victorious. There were a lot of casualties and injured people. Amongst them was Holm who we agreed to take back with us as our captive. I understood that if we were to kill Holm, then muc
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 125: Set for the Battle
***Scarlett***My wound felt tender even though it had almost healed. The hospital had ordered that I should be discharged because I was feeling much better. Sterling greeted me when I set foot into the pack house. So did other of the pack members who were awaiting my return. A few lamented how they had feared for my life when they heard that Evans had kidnapped me and shot me. I was sure they didn't get the whole story because no one was right about what transpired. "We're glad to have you back," Sterling said with a smile. "Although we're still worried because Evans is out there. We don't know what to expect." I nodded, scanning all the faces of those who were waiting to hear me speak out. "We can't let our guards down. Evans is dangerous as long as he is alive. We need to be very vigilant." Sterling nodded in agreement. "What do you suggest we do now? We are yet to have an Alpha. As the daughter of the former Alpha and an Alpha female of our pack we need to hear what your plan
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 124: Painful Goodbye
***Scarlett*** Bryan couldn't let go of my hands. "I want you to promise me something," he whispered, his eyes locked with mine, piercing through them as I tried hard not to cry. I nodded, short of words. I was eager to hear what he wanted to say. My heart pounded heavily. My chest is heavy from anticipation. "Scarlett, my love, if I could choose again in the next life, know that I would choose you," he exhaled deeply. "I want you to promise me that whatever life time we find ourselves, we will find each other again." I whined out of pain. "I understand. I hope we do find each other again. I promise to find you." He leaned down and kissed my forehead, then looked into my eyes again. "Fate has bound me to Alpha Westy. I owe him my life. It's not easy to disobey him. Marrying Ingrid is my way of being grateful to him." "Shh…I understood," I placed a finger on his lips to silence him. "You don't need to say much. I know you're in a tight spot. It's already tough on you
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 123: The Devil Doesn't Give Up
***Scarlett*** I was in a state of panic as I watched Bryan try to save me first. Bryan must have followed his heart because Ingrid was so mad. I was helpless and bound to the chair, but Evans released me wanting us to play the next level of the game. He suddenly pointed the gun at Ingrid. Evans was determined. He wasn't bluffing. I was already angry that Bryan had chosen to save me instead of Ingrid. But seeing the poor lady die because of us was something I couldn't stand and watch. Bryan may not love her but I knew for sure that Ingrid's death was going to ruin him. Bryan was going to be the Mo pack's enemy. I trembled at the thought of Ingrid dying here. This is bad. If Ingrid ends up dead, then that means a bigger problem for Bryan. Alpha Westby might never forgive him. All this started because of me. If there was anyone who had to die, it should be me. I failed at killing Evans. Instead of dying in the fire, I ended up creating a monster. A devil who doesn't give up. Eva
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 122: The Women in His Life
***Bryan*** I couldn't breathe for a moment as I stared at the camera on my phone, my mind reeling with horror. Evans' twisted face leered back at me, his burned and scarred skin making him look like a beast from hell. "Come alone, Bryan," he sneered. "If you want to save either of them." He had said to me laughing evilly. My heart raced as I thought of Scarlett and Ingrid, both of them in Evans' custody. I found myself screaming inside my head. Why can't he just die? Scarlett was so sure that he died in the fire. what is this now? Evans had warned me not to come along with anyone. I promise him I wasn't going to bring anyone with me. I arrived at the destination, my heart pounding in my chest. The first thing I noticed was both Ingrid and Scarlett's scent. I heard a scream come from the building. I was sure he was torturing one of them. This sends me into a frenzy and I growled in anger pushing the door down with my weight. As I entered the dark room, I was taken aback by
