All Chapters of The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

***Scarlett*** I was jogging in the early hours of the morning in the forest, enjoying the peace and quiet, when suddenly I was grabbed from behind. I tried to struggle, but my captor was too strong. I was dragged away, unable to see who it was. But there was this familiar scent I picked. As I was pulled through the thrick forest floor, I caught a glimpse of Ingrid being dragged along beside me. I tried to call out to her, but my voice was muffled by a hand over my mouth. Finally, we were thrown into a dark room, and that was when I saw our captor. My heart stopped as I realized it was Evans. There was no way he was alive. I'm sure he died in the fire. Or did he somehow survive? The scars on his face were clearly seen caused from burns. I couldn't see his whole body because he was covered in a sweater and he had a hood on. "Surprised to see me honey?" He smiled at me. I had to turn away immediately because he reminded me of a demon from hell. "You're supposed to be dead,"

***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

***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

***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

***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
