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.
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 71: Next to You
***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'

***Scarlett*** His growl was low. With the rising and falling movement of his chest, I knew what was to come: an outburst, for sure. "Shut up and listen to me! You must do as I say," My father, Alpha Ashley Anderson yelled at me. "Protecting this pack is my responsibility, Scarlett." He stared at me with cold blue eyes. It felt like I was being shot with hot laser beams. "As my daughter, protecting our pack is your responsibility too." "But…we…we can do that without you marrying me off to Evans Foss." I cried. This has to be the worst day of my life. There's no doubt about it. My father rarely gets mad at me but today he's resorting to yelling to make me see sense in what he's saying. "This marriage must happen. I don't need to remind you that the Foss pack is the strongest pack in all of Bergen," A crease formed on his forehead. "We need them. I have no son who will be Alpha after me. As my only child and daughter, the safety of this pack rests on your shoulders now." My fat

***Bryan*** I leaned close to the wall to take a close view. My prey had just stepped out of Lois Wold's house. They appear to be having an argument of some sort. Today must be my lucky day! Killing Alpha Ashley's daughter will put more fear in them. I've been chasing the unimportant members of the Anderson pack since I started my hunt. I had my eleventh kill last week. I know the Andersons are scared but it's Alpha Ashley that I desperately want to see in pain. Taking his daughter away from him will be the onset of his misery. That pretty wife of his will die at my hands too. I'll destroy his businesses, take everything away from him, just like he took everything away from me. When I'm done with him, if his misery doesn't end him, I'm left with no choice but to finish him off. After I'm done with the Andersons, those cunning bastards, the Foss pack, are next! I continued to follow Lois and her friend closely from behind, watching as they walked slowly down the illumina
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 3: Sweet Vengeance
***Bryan*** Alpha Westby just concluded an emergency meeting in the Mo packhouse. He's concerned about the killings that have been taking place in Silvercrest Range. The two recent bodies found were from the Foss pack. "Bryan, wait behind," he ordered. "I'd like a word with you." I nodded and maintained my seat. I wondered what he wanted to talk about. Perhaps it was about the succession ritual. He rubbed my shoulder from behind giving me a gentle squeeze. "Hope you're warming up." "Do I need to warm up?" A raspy laugh escape my throat. "Well, I think you need to." He sat down to face me. "Silvercrest Range is currently going through some shit. Someone is out to get everyone. At first I thought it's just the Andersons. Now the Foss are being hit too." "I've told you many times not to worry, Westby. We are the Mo pack," I whispered. "Nobody will dare touch us." Westby's eyebrow furrowed. He's surprised by my words obviously. "Why are you so confident that we aren't the next
