The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 76: Strange Connection
***Bryan***I gripped the steering wheel and banged my head on it repeatedly. I later stopped, but that’s because I wasn’t feeling the pain anymore. I could feel Scarlett’s hurt in her voice, it didn’t have to take a lot to know that James words have affected her. Or perhaps it was because I couldn’t make it yesterday.What actually happened was out of my control. When I got to the pack house yesterday, I noticed Ingrid crying. She was sitting on the floor against the door of my room and Jensen was consoling her. Honestly, I was scared by her state because I thought someone had died.Ingrid became clingy, I don’t know if it’s because our wedding was fast approaching or because she had sex with me in my car. She accused me of not wanting to spend time with her; that I abandoned her the in front of the pack house two days ago. I didn’t know what to say because I felt guilty and I wanted to make it up to her. That was the reason I never came back to Scarlett.I agree with her that the fa

***Bryan***After taking a shower and putting on fresh clothes, I headed to Alpha Westby’s house. Fortunately, Luna Kelly wasn’t home, which meant I wouldn’t be having some unnecessary interruption and our discussion can go on for as far as I would like.“Do you need beer or soda?” he asked, his eyes scanning through the refrigerator.“Beer will do,” I answered.He grabbed a can of beer and passed it to me.“Thank you.”“So what did you say you wanted to talk to me about?” he dropped into his seat.“Umm…I don’t know how you’re going to see this. But I don’t think I can continue to pretend like nothing happened.”Alpha Westby gulped down almost half of his beer before looking at me. “Is it something serious? Your face has this seriousness to it.”“Not really, it’s about a man named George,” I muttered. “I got to find out today that he is Adam’s father.”The sides of Alpha Westby’s eyes twitched. “Did you guys talk?” he asked, leaning forward. There was this nervousness coming off of hi
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 78: Found
***Scarlett***There was nothing I needed at the moment more than a breath of fresh air. That’s the only way I can calm myself down. Too bad I can’t leave the house to go for a walk or something. I feel suffocated in this space and my skin craves the feeling of being encircled in natures breeze and its other natural sweetness. Running in my wolf form wouldn’t be a bad idea if I knew the neighborhood well.I was sure Bryan wasn’t going to return. The look on his face before he left said it all. He kind of looked guilty and sorry. I couldn’t stop him from leaving because funny enough, that was the same way I felt.Dismissing the idea about going for a run in wolf form, I decided to stand at the balcony to take in a lungful of fresh breath air. I was sure I was going to get better after spending some minutes here. It’s my first time to ever use the balcony. And it was already dark, so I didn’t have to worry about anyone seeing me from here…I was wrong…three pair of glowing eyes stared ba
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 79: Enemies for Life
***Scarlett***James ducked, dodging the incoming punch with a speed nearing that of lightening. His feet smashed into the man’s chest. The cracking sound gave way to a terrifying groan. The second guy runs to his friend’s rescue but James was too fast and didn’t grant him that privilege. “If you had listened to me. Your friend wouldn’t have ended up with broken ribs.” James snapped his neck so effortlessly that I began to wonder if he snaps necks every day.James was left with just one man; the man who had me by my hair. “Do you think you can get away with this? He’s on his way here.” he snarled.My stomach tightened. The taste of bile in my mouth reminds me of the horror I passed through that night in the hands of Evans. If he was on his way here. That meant they must have called him. Probably when I was hiding in the bathroom.“And who is that?” James asked with a commanding tone. “Who is the jerk who sent you?”My abductor laughs. “There’s no need giving you a spoiler. He’ll sen
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 80: Late
***Bryan***I failed her! Arriving to see the house empty and in a horrifying mess made my heart pound fast in my chest. I swallowed a lungful of air, controlling my uneven breath. I needed to think clearly.I had picked up too many scents that it was difficult to tell how many of them were here. As I looked around the house in search of any evidence that could lead me to those who took Scarlett away, I pushed my way out to the balcony. Just outside, I found claw marks on the rails and walls. I inspected the area carefully. The scent of wolves in this spot was beginning to fade but it smelled rogue. That is the first hint I’ve picked since I arrived. Rogue wolves were here! But why would they want Scarlett?I looked in the far distance, beyond the tall trees, wandering where the rogues have come from. The only person who would come after Scarlett is Evans. And that’s if he knows she’s alive, which is impossible.I paused when my eyes fell upon a house close to mine. I paused. That
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 81: Worse Than the Devil
***Scarlett***I had no idea where we were. The atmosphere had an awful mushy smell. I definitely knew that we weren’t back at the mansion. There’s no way my house smelled like this. Evans wouldn’t be stupid to bring us back to the mansion. I sniffed harder. It didn’t smell like a familiar place.While we were in Evans’ car we were blindfolded which was why the only senses keeping me alert were my nose and ears.“Get your fucking hands off me!” James growled. His large body brush my shoulder and he was pushed to the ground next to me. “This place smells like death.” I could hear him draw short breathes.“Take the blindfolds off.” the order reverberated through the room. as soon as they do that, my eyes were quick to adjust to the brightness in the room. Evans had his hands crossed, he had a wide smile across his fat-ass face. He’s added some weight. I can’t help to notice now that I had seen him properly. The jerk must have been having a good time while I was away. He didn’t look lik
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 82: Silly Talks
***Scarlett***“I told you not to get involved,” I whispered. “You wouldn’t have been locked up here with me if you listened.”James laid on his back, his face looking upward as his arms cushioned his head. “Being here with you is a choice. You didn’t expect me to block my ears and look away when I heard what was going on in there, do you?” His stare on the ceiling remained fixed. He didn’t bother glancing at me. Regardless of what he said, I think somewhere inside him he knew he should have just stayed out.Evans left and told us he would return in early hours of the morning. Something I’m not looking forward too.“So you were part of the Foss pack?” I asked.“Yes. That was a long time ago.” he sighed. “We were teenagers. Evans always had an evil heart right from the beginning.”“I’m sorry you went through that at such a tender age.”He faced me now. “You shouldn’t be. If there’s anything I learnt, it’s that no one is to be trusted.” He cleared his throat. “By the way, so Bryan is yo
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 83: Brazen Actions
***Scarlett*** James stayed away. And surprisingly, just like me he stayed awake the whole night. He knew not to push me too far and I appreciated that he let me be. If he had ended up pissing me off, it would have ended badly for both of us. The guy was either stupid or brave. Anyways men act foolish when they think with what is between their legs, instead of their brains. Wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up apologizing for all he said. “Good morning.” He mumbled from across the room. His voice was hoarse and rough. I ignored him. I focused my gaze on the door waiting for when Evans and his men world storm in. They had chained the door from behind. James had tried tearing the door down but it didn’t budge. He mentioned that they must have chained it with silver chains. “You can’t avoid me forever, Scarlett. Please talk to me,” he said almost rising to his feet. “Stop.” I put up my hand. “Don’t even thinks about coming closer. You’re creeping me out. I’m stuck here with you beca
