***Scarlett***

My father was cremated as the tradition demands for werewolves in the range. My stepmother and I had to wait behind to collect his Ash.

I doubt if my father's death will make us close. I have a feeling it will only push us farther away from each other because we were never close to begin with.

Dina wiped a tear that trickled down her right cheek. "Your father was a good man. The best man I've ever met."

"You don't have to be dramatic about it," I said feeling irritated by her display.

Evans caressed my arms. "That's no way to talk to your stepmother, babe. She is hurt too, you know."

I ignored Evans. The last thing I need now is an argument.

Dina began to sob more. "I wish she could care for me as much as I care for her."

I rolled my eyes at the pathetic show she kept on displaying. It was funny that she was shedding a tear from just one eye—she looked funny honestly.

Who was she trying to deceive? Not me of course. If I was a private investigator, I wouldn't waste time carrying out an investigation because I'll arrest Dina right on the spot for murder. Yes. She looks like someone who would help the enemy kill my father, her mate. I know what I'm saying. She's the perfect snitch. She says she loves him. I can bet my life that she never did.

Marrying my father has made her the luckiest bitch in the whole of Bergen right now.

She'll get some parts of his estates. That I know for sure. My father fell for her looks and loved her truly but Dina didn't love him as she claimed.

I could always see the fakeness in her smile and her words when she was with my father. I've always seen right through her. Now that he's dead, she's as free as a bird. She can do all she wants with the money she's going to get. Who cares!!!

Our friends who had grieved with us dispersed leaving just four of us in my father's mansion. Dina said she sent the staff home. "Everyone is supposed to take today off to mourn their dead boss" Those were her exact words.

I picked up my bag and Evans drove us back home. We had left Dina and just the butler, Sir Vik. Evans discharged his men before we left. They had been standing guard at the mansion since morning as my father was cremated.

When we got home Evans suddenly paused before we could reach the main door into our house. He looked at his watch. "Oh! Shit. I almost forgot I have an appointment at the Foss packhouse."

I was concerned he would be leaving me alone in the house. "But it's eight pm, Evans."

"It ain't late yet, babe. I promise I'll be back soon. Go in and have some rest." He kissed my cheeks, ran back to the car and sped off.

I stood there looking at him like I didn't understand what he said. After I watch him disappear through the gate. I dip my hand into my bag to bring out the keys to the house but it wasn't there.

I checked again and confirmed that it wasn't in the bag. After a little thinking, I remembered that I left it in the mansion. If I had realized it sooner, Evans would have used the spare keys with him to open the door. Then I'll get my keys tomorrow.

I wasn't feeling like going back there, but I had to. Calling Evans back wasn't an option. Going back to my father's house would only take a short ride. I'll be there in twenty minutes using a cab.

I quickly took a cab and headed to the mansion. The first item that welcomed me into the sitting room were my keys. They were laying on the table.

I must have left it together beside the handbag earlier—I had taken my bag but forgotten the keys.

No one was in sight. I assumed that Dina had slept already. I quickly headed out in the direction of the exit.

A sharp cry stopped me in my tracks. What the heck was that?

A loud moan soon followed. I hurried in the direction of the sound. Was Dina being attacked? The sound was clearer now.

Her moans were in sync with heavy groans that appeared to mask hers.

I followed the noise. The noise coming from the room was loud because the door to the bedroom wasn't closed. Did she forget to close it or what?

The voices coming from the bedroom proved she wasn't alone. I instantly knew what was going on in the bedroom hearing the clear voices now. Dina was shamelessly fucking someone in my father's house. Holy crap! How could she do this on the day he was cremated.

I can't imagine she wanted me to believe that those tears of hers from earlier were real. This wasn't only shameful but evil.

How could she fuck someone else on the bed she once shared with my father?

My wolf was more curious than ever. I would have turned around but my wolf wanted me to find out who she was performing this shameful act with.

I took three steps forward and what I saw sent shivers through me—a very familiar tattoo. I could identify that tattoo anywhere.

A drawing of a big black wolf spread entirely on the man's back. I could also recognise the man's voice. I was torn apart.

My knees felt weak. I trembled at the sight of Evans thrusting himself into Dina with sheer abandon as she screamed his name with her legs spread wide while he held onto her waist. My world turned dark and it began to spin…

  • 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

    ***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
