***Bryan***

I unlocked the door to my new house. It was so quiet that one would think no one was living here yet.

I headed straight to the master bedroom. I considered checking on Scarlett but I decided against it. I didn't want to wake her

if she was still asleep. It was only four am.

I had a shower and soon jumped into bed. It was indeed a stressful day. It's funny how I just got this place and furnished it up. I wanted to use it as a guest house of mine whenever I had something to do around the city. I never knew it would come handy just like now.

The door to my room opened slowly. Scarlett peeked through the door. "You're back." Her voice is soft and sleepy. "I heard strange noises, so I wanted to confirm if you were back."

"Yes,I'm back," I whispered, stretching my head to get a glimpse of her in the darkness.

"Ok. I would have asked you about Lois but you seem tired. Later then." She quickly closed the door.

I jumped up from my bed and went after her. "Wait."

She spun ar

    ***Scarlett***We went on and on until we were exhausted. We couldn't have enough of each other. We had so many things to say to each other, but it seemed it was safer for us to keep pretending and enjoy the moment. Bryan gave me the best sex of my life. I've never orgasmed the way I've done with him. With Evans, sex was something I did to fulfill a mate's duty. I wasn't connected to him when intimate the way I connected with Bryan. Bryan was sound asleep when I looked up at him. His long eyelashes made him look more handsome. I take in his beautiful features. He looked at peace. The necklace was still on his neck. This makes me emotional, because I wasn't expecting he would still have it on when he found out that I was Debby. I admire his tattoos and wanted to trace them. His pink lips appeared strong and sinful. My mind was about to think dirty thoughts. Like how he would make me organs more with that beautiful mouth of his. Surprisingly I felt greater than I expected. I h

    ***Bryan***"Where the hell have you been?" Max yelled. "And you didn't even return my calls." "Stop yelling. I was busy." I looked around the common room. It was like there was a small party going on. "What did you guys do without me?" "Curtis bought drinks because he got his baby back. It's a little celebration before we go after Evans and give him the shock of his life." My ears pointed upward. It was obvious a conclusion was made behind my back on what to do to Evans. "What are you guys planning on doing? I told you guys to let me handle it.""We all do not agree to that. Lois is one of us. He messed with the whole pack when he kidnapped her. And don’t forget he attacked some of our pack members too." "Does Alphy Westby know you guys are planning something?" "Just like you. He's telling us to hold on. Jensen on the other hand wants to teach Evans a lesson. We are still here because Alpha Westby is against us going to retaliate." "Max, you know more than snyone that I've go

    ***Scarlett*** I had finished preparing dinner when Bryan came home. He was kind of quieter than usual. I called him to have his food. He quietly sat looking at what I had prepared. "You didn't have to cook for me," He whispered. "I wish to. Please eat." I smiled at him and rolled my eyes at him. "By the way, it's your house and your food." A little grin appeared on his face which soon disappeared. I observe he's distant. He didn't speak until he had a bite of the food. He looked at me. "It tastes amazing." "Thank you," I whispered. "Are you okay?" "Yes, I'm fine." He answered. I nodded, not wanting to push the conversation further. "Umm…you have to stay here all by yourself for sometime. I hope that will be okay." I raised my head to look up at him. His head was bent low. Was he trying to avoid me? "Is anything wrong?" I asked, my gaze pinned on him. He shook his head. "I wouldn't want to be absent from the pack house. With the Pack Alpha coronation coming

    ***Bryan***I went to the Bergen Land Agency for the Director whom I had requested to meet yesterday. His secretary told me he would attend to me in ten minutes. As I waited, my mind drifted back to Scarlett, and I sighed. Thinking about her now made my groin area bulge out, so I had to adjust my sitting position. I couldn't have enough of her. When we got exhausted, in minutes I was turned on again and on and on I went on enjoying the experience. I had come back the previous day feeling down because of my argument with Max. I had intended letting her know she wouldn't be seeing me often and then I would come back to the pack house. But her words and kisses made me lose myself and forget what had gotten me moody in the first place. After she kissed me, I didn't remember what next I did or what I was even doing. I only realized I had her on the table and was thrusting into her while I was partly wolf. She did that to me…she made my wolf surface and I lost control. Surprisingly,

    ***Scarlett***"I thought seeing you will take forever." Lois ran over to hug me. "I'm glad you're okay. I've been looking forward to seeing you." "I know dear." She smiled and pointed at Bryan. "He didn’t want to take me to you unless it was the other way round."I smiled. "You know he has his reasons." "I wouldn't allow you to meet her where she's currently staying, Lois. We've spoken about this. It's for her own safety. If you guys want to talk, you can make a video call. If you guys want to Smeeth physically then you'll come here. It's as simple as that." Lois glared at him. "This isn't fair on us, Bryan.""I don't care what you want Lois. It's better to be safe than sorry." "He's right, Lois.""You guys have only twenty minutes left. It's better to say whatever you've got to say." Bryan made a funny face before turning his back at us. "Hope you're living comfortably. Is he treating well? Hope he isn't mean?" "No. He isn't.""You know I'm hearing you guys right?" Bryan mut

    ***Bryan*** Just as expected. Evans came running to the Mo territory. He was angry to discover what had been done behind his back. "Bryan! Where are you? You piece of shit." He yelled from his vehicle. He was so angry that he began pacing around. He came along with two other trucks. Each carrying his loyalists. Max turned to me. "You were right. You made him come to you." I smiled. "Right where I want him to be. Let's go meet him." Everyone at the packhouse was out to see Evans yelling and kicking dirt. They might be wondering what had made him so mad. "Why are you here shouting like a mad man?" I appeared before him. He lunged at me and struck me but I was quick to block him. "Don't even try it. Only a foolish Alpha wouldn't think twice before running into another alpha's territory just so you can act as a madman. Look around you. You are already out numbered." He looked around and growled. "You went and bought my land." "It's my land now. Not yours. Mr Grant

    ***Bryan***"Your pack is blind. If only they knew who you were twelve years ago?" Evans growled. Alpha Westby faltered but was quick to maintain control of the conversation. "If I were you, I'll leave now that I still have my head on my neck. My pack could easily kill you now. It would start a pack war but i think it's worth it if an asshole like you was to be killed. " Alpha Westby howled. Our pack rounded up behind him. Evans saw the threat. He knew what his stupidity would cause him if he tried anything stupid." He began to back away with his people. "Make sure you don't step your feet on my land." I snarled at him. Evans and his people got in their trucks and drove off. "The little he got here today will show him we are not a silent pack anymore?" A feminine voice threatened. Ingrid still hadn't left my side. "Silent pack. Where did you hear that from?""That's our pack's second name in the past. We were a pack that always minded our business. We maintained the peace with

    ***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.

    ***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

    ***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

    ***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

    ***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

    ***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

    ***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

    ***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

    ***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

    ***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
