The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 86: Spreading the News
***Scarlett*** Evans took James someplace else. The attack on him by Evan’s men have left him injured but I was certain by the end of today, a large portion of the wound should heal. Evans stormed into the room after being away for more than hour. “Your boyfriend hasn’t called.” He snarled as he approached me. “I gave him two hours to get me what I want. And he’s keeping me waiting!” I smiled. Evans had no idea that the reason I wanted him to call Bryan was so he would find out where I was. There was no way Bryan was going to give Evans a something that isn’t in his custody. “What were you expecting?” I look up to face him. “That he would come running to you because you gave him only two hours.” “You two think I’m joking here. Whether he brings the document or not, I’m the one who will decide your fate.” “And let me guess, your plan is not to let me go even if you get what you want.” “Do I look like a fool? You’re dead to everyone honey. I can’t let you go back into the world.”
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 87: Counter Attack
***Bryan*** I looked around and the number people gathered were so few. Before the meeting started, I was discouraged by the turnout and I got an awful feeling about this. I can’t tell why I’m feeling. “Where is everyone?” I asked Sterling who put up a small frown, probably because his patience was beginning to wear out. “I was about to ask as well,” Lois muttered. Sterling looked at us, disappointment written over his face. “I’ll have to check to know what’s keeping everyone,” he muttered. “I gave them ten minutes to gather here and the hall is still empty. Give me a minute.” He walked out of the hall. ‘We don’t have time, Bryan. Can’t we tell the few here? I think they would do well to spread the information if Sterling orders them to.” “Sterling wants everyone here. I think its best if we have half of the pack members.” Ten minutes later, people began to troop into the hall. I sighed in relief. I wondered why it was so hard for them to answer their beta call. “What happe
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 88: The Ball is in the Jerk's Court
***Scarlett*** Before Evans took me to my pack, he inflicted wounds on himself to make his story look authentic. Secretly, I hoped Andrew wouldn’t succeed with what Evans had ordered him to do. But with what was going on here right now, I’ll rather not think about how unfortunate things had turned out. My heart was falling apart. Evans remains the one with the upper hand. While we were in the car, he had promised to kill James and I if we did anything stupid or try to ruin his plans. We didn’t know what he had in mind but his warning sounded like one he would definitely follow through with. It came as a shock to me when he took me in his arms and told me to play along. He forced my head to rest on his shoulder. He ordered his men to watch James and that they should wait for his call if there was any need to bring James along as well. A few of the pack ladies who had surrounded me were quick to begin cleaning the dried blood off my face worried, the worry on their face apparent as
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 89: Taking Back the Game
***Scarlett*** As we moved close to the gate, we were nearing in on two figures. A male and female. I gasped, gripping my chest when I realized that it was none other than Bryan and Lois. Evans had seen them too. “What are they doing here? Can’t your boyfriend swallow his pride and just accept defeat?” “If that’s what you want him to do, then you don’t really know who Bryan is.” I blurted. Evans eyed me about to say something but he slammed the seat and barked at Holm. “Stop the car now!” Holm came to an abrupt halt stopping the car just before we reached where Bryan had packed the car. Evans came down from the car. As soon as he gets out, I ran out to running in their direction. The cars driving behind us had also come to halt. The sound of shutting car doors meant they were also leaving their vehicles probably to check why we had stopped. “You can’t give up, huh!” Evans growled as he watched them. He turned back and frowned when he realized that I was behind him. I almost over
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 90: Playing Defensive
***Bryan*** I didn’t start this fight with Evans just to pull out of it when things got tough. Immediately I noticed his plan and how he had hijacked the situation to suit his narrative, I decided there and then that I had to do something to save Scarlett… and fast. If I fail, then Evans would eventually torture her and break her mentally and emotionally to get what he wants, which to me is worse than death. I had an idea. I wasn’t going to give up on my initial plan. I’m going to ambush him and take Scarlett away from him. Thanks to Evans, it isn’t a secret anymore that Scarlett piss alive. This would be of benefit to Scarlett for now. Evans wouldn’t be stupid to kill her now even if he wanted too. It would raise suspicion and I was sure he didn’t want to follow that route. I called Jensen and briefly explained to him that I needed his help. Fortunately, he told me he was with Max and that they would arrive at the location I had sent to them. I didn’t need a special hint or need to
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 91: Sworn Enemies
***Bryan***“As you can see, I’m alive and well.” I shrugged with a smirk.“You are Bryan Haaland!” He rubbed his hair roughly. “I knew there was something off about you. I just didn’t know what it was.”“Now you know better. My intention was never to reveal my identity to you until I had you on your knees.”“Your body was never found.” Evans snarled. “It was said that you died from your wounds.”“Lies. The person who reported that news to you and your father needs to do a better job.” I took three steps forward. “Now you know why I want you to suffer before I finally kill you. And who knows, I might just hand the stake to Scarlett to impale your heart instead for being a greedy bastard.”Evans bit his lip, obviously holding back his rage. “I’ll get her back. And you will go join your pack in the underworld when I’m through with you.” he threatened.“This war between you and I is the beginning of the end. You will suffer for all you and your father did to the Haaland pack.”Evans had
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 92: Taking No Explanation
***Bryan*** Before I arrived at the packhouse, I knew I was going to be in big trouble, especially with the Alpha. My pack members will be mad to find out about what I had done. Only a few will understand why I had to take Scarlett away from Evans, others will only see me as a no-good busybody. One who interfered in another man's private matters, a rival pack for the matter. I spotted Alpha Westby’s pacing figure in front of the pack as soon as we arrived. His expression and tensed posture proved my thoughts right. He wasn't happy and was probably waiting for me to arrive. Jensen and the others quickly changed into human form and bowed to Alpha Westby. I was the last to change. He didn't respond to our greeting. His eyes searched mine, then he asked. "What were you all thinking? Who gave you guys the order to attack another Alpha in his territory?" Jensen was quick to answer. "Sorry, Alpha. But it was a call from one of us." "Which you couldn't let me know about before yo
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 93: Unwelcoming
***Scarlett***"She needs to leave now!" Ingrid yelled. Her voice came out more as a growl than a scream, then she slammed her fist into the wall. "She can't stay here. I don't care how she ended up being alive. Have you all forgotten how her pack and Evans pack almost got Bryan killed in a fire." I had froze on the spot. I could neither move nor talk. Lois was the only thing that stood between me and Bryan's angry mate. Everyone had gathered around to watch Ingrid turn me away. She doesn't want me here. "What was Bryan thinking? How could he tell you to bring her here?" Lois sighed deeply, obviously lost on how to further explain the situation to Ingrid. Ingrid refused to listen to Lois explanation and pleas and her yelling all over the place was getting me annoyed. "Ingrid, you need calm down. People are watching us already. I don't want your action to fuel that of others." Lois stepped forward and reached out to hold Ingrid's hands. "You should talk it out with Bryan instea

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
