***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

***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 94: Keeping Her Close
***Bryan***I've never had such an intense argument with Alpha Westby before. We've always been on the same page on a lot of things. Whenever we weren't, we found a way to end our conversations without any problems between us. "You told her who you are and you're still helping her?" He glared at me in disbelief. ""You were the one who said I shouldn't let my thirst for vengeance consume me." I kept my head down, avoiding his angry. "Why're you mad that I'm helping her? I told you what Evans did to her and why we had to lie about her death. And by the way she doesn't have any idea what her father and the Foss pack did twelve years ago, so why should I hate her for it." "I see. Very well then. I give you twenty-four hours to take her somewhere else. She's not staying here. I can't watch you stamp on everyone's complaint not to keep her and yell at my daughter just because of her." I wasn't expecting him to react like this. Asking Jensen, Max, Lois and the others for help was jus
