The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 96: Fastest Way Out
***Scarlett***I got two hours of sleep. The sound of the door was what woke me up. "Huh. It's good you got some sleep." Lois slipped out of her jacket and threw it on the sofa. "I was worried you were going to be bored waiting for me." I turned away from watching the clock. I yawned and stretched my arms before sitting up. "You're back.""Yeah, sorry I left you here all by yourself. I promised Ingrid we were going out. I left her with Bryan. Someone needs to be here with you." Her eyes flickered as she explained. I knew she was feeling sorry for me. She didn't have to say it. I can't deny that hearing that name Ingrid was beginning to make me jealous. I could keep up with her existence when Bryan only met her "No worries." I smiled at her, relaxing my back against the headboard.She gently grabbed my hands and stared into my eyes. "Are you okay?" she asked.I knew her question was genuine from the sound of her voice and from the way her shoulders slumped as though she was hel
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 97: Dinner with the Mos
***Scarlett***I sat next to Lois. I could hardly touch my food because the stare in the room messed with my appetite. "We don't play with food around here." Ingrid looked up from her plate and gave me a death stare. "Sorry. It's just that I'm not hungry." "You should have just said so." Her response made me feel bad, as though I had committed a great crime. So I forced myself to chew three spoons of the food. "There's a rumor going round that you lost your memory. Is it all of it or some of it? Because you look fine to me." Ingrid asked. Lois coughed. "Ingrid, can we just eat? Maybe after the meal you two talk. You can ask her all the questions you want—"Ingrid immediately held out a hand and Lois paused. "There's nothing wrong in having a conversation when eating." She tends to look at me and without another word from her. I knew that she wanted my anger to be questioned. "I'm okay. Evans lied that I had lost my memory so that he would be able to deny any allegations I mig
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 98: A Way Out
***Bryan***Alpha Westby had called me to speak with me, so I had to leave Ingrid to go to him. It was a call that saved me from her pestering complaints. She kept on lamenting about why she didn't want Scarlett here. When my converstion with Alpha Westby was over. I had to assure him that Scarlett wouldn't exceed the three days time frame he had given us. He was still angry with me and I had to allow him do all the talking and scolding so he could feel better.It was already time for dinner by the time I arrived the pack house. Everyone was eating in groups. Naturally I would have just walked to meet Max and the other guys but I couldn't. Not when Scarlett was finding it hard to hide her reddened face. The smell of her anger and helplessness haul at me. I could feel every of her emotions from right where I had stood. "What are you doing Bryan? What was that for?" Her eyes flashed and narrowed in shock. "I could smell your anger and hear your cry for help from a mile away," I
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 99: The Enemy's Visit
***Scarlett***I jerked up like I had seen a beast in my dreams "What's wrong?"Sleeping for more than twelve hours had me almost in panic. I looked from the wall clock to Lois. "Why didn't you wake me up? It's almost 12 pm. I've been sleeping for twelve hours." I whispered, too weak to speak loudly. "You looked like you needed it. Bryan left here two hours ago to check on you. He told me not to wake you up and allow you to get more rest." The back hurts as I try to stretch. "My body still aches." I complained. "And I'm famished." "You should get up and eat." Lois offered. "After that you can go out for a walk. I think you'll feel better afterwards."Without hesitating I flipped the comforter aside and jumped out of bed. "I should shower first." "I got you a new toothbrush. It's on the cabinet in the bathroom." "Thanks dear. You're a lifesaver."She winked and smiled at me. Lois told me she was going to accompany me out. I agreed and after I freshened up and ate my meal, we
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 100: What Really Happened That Night?
***Bryan***It was a close one. Evans pulled the trigger but I was faster. Using my wolf speed, I kicked the gun and the bullet shot through the clear blue sky. I quickly dislodged the gun from his hand and crashed him into the dirt. Evans struggled to get on his feet. But I pushed him deeper into the ground. He clawed at my arms with his claws. Ingrid yelled from behind me. "Why are you so stubborn, Bryan. He wants his wife back. Are you willing to die for a woman whose father destroyed your pack?"My fist froze at Ingrid's words, stopping me from throwing a punch on his face. Ingrid wasn't happy that Scarlett is here. She wasn't reluctant to show her displeasure. She was taking none of this in a good way.I had to spend the night with her because she cried and sang about how I didn't care about her and how Scarlett’s presence in the pack house had my focus divided. I didn't want her to go crying to her father. She might end up reporting me to him that I was pushing her away, whic
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 101: On the Run
***Bryan***Figuring out what was going on between Alpha Westby and Evans right now got my head spinning. Apparently, Evans was inciting the Alpha with his words. It felt to me as though they were talking in a language that only both of them understood. I really want to know what happened that night. Evans was clearly accusing Alpha Westby of something. And I think there's more to it because the way my Alpha was reacting showed me there was something off. There is definitely something he isn't telling me. "What is going on, Alpha? What night is he referring to?" I asked, looking straight onto his eyes for answers. "The night all your pack got wiped out," Evans answered. "Didn't your Alpha tell you he was there that night?" "Attack then now. I've counted to five already." Alpha Westby growled. "Where the fuck did she go?" Evans' eyes flickered, dancing around. He wasn't a bit concerned that Jensen and the others were about to attack him based on Alpha Westby's command. "Scarlet
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 102: Waiting for Him or Not
***Scarlett***A slight pat on my back had pulled my attention away from the argument.“You should leave here while you can.” A man had whispered behind me.I turned around and was surprised to see Adam, the physician.“They are about to fight because of me.” I had answered.“You should get out of here now that everyone’s attention isn’t on you. That’s how you’ll be able to prevent a fight from breaking out.”After listening to Adam’s advice, I had turned around and realized that he was right. Everyone’s attention was focused on Bryan, Evans and Alpha Westby.Adam led the way and I followed him. I trust him because he helped Bryan save me the night Evans poisoned me and buried me. We succeeded in slipping out of there without alerting anyone. We both transformed into wolf form and ran into the forest. After running for about thirty minutes, he stopped when we reached a cabin. Immediately, I changed into human form to ask him some questions that have been weighing on my mind. “Why ar
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 103: You Love Her Or Not
***Bryan***Thirty minutes to midnight, Adam walked into my room. I was surprised to see him. "Hi, Bryan. What's up?" He slumped into the sofa with a heavy sigh. I was in no mood to talk but I didn't want to act towards him like a jerk. Adam is a cool and nice guy who I wouldn't want to lash out at. "I'm good." I simply answered. He nodded. He slipped his fingers into his pocket and lowered his head. "I was concerned. I thought I wasn't going to find you here."I sighed, my patience was beginning to run out. "Thanks Adam. I'm good. I want to be alone." "I understand you are confused and lost about what to do about this situation." I lifted my head to look at him. "You are a physician. Stick to your job and stop…" I trailed off immediately. I realized I was beginning to sound like a jerk. "Adam just left. Obviously, you can see that I'm not in the mood." "I've only known you for like eight months but I know for sure you're a great guy. Many times you jump in to help people even
