Semua Bab The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back: Bab 111 - Bab 120

***Scarlett***I walked alongside James, my eyes scanning the aisles of the grocery store. We were just picking up a few essentials, but I was grateful for the distraction. My mind has been consumed by thoughts of Bryan lately. That's because James told me the Mo territory has been in a celebratory mode for the past few days. When he told me that, I knew it was about Bryan's wedding and his coronation as the next alpha. As we turned a corner, I caught sight of a familiar figure. Bryan…Talk of the devil. At first, I refused to believe that he was the one. I just assumed that the thought of him had begun to make me hallucinate. How could he just materialize when I was thinking so much of him. My heart skipped a beat as I saw him laughing with Ingrid, his mate to be. I felt a pang of jealousy and heartache. I closed my eyes thinking he would disappear. But he didn't , neither did ingrid. Finally, I accepted that it was Bryan in flesh and blood and not my mind playing tricks on me. He

***Scarlett*** I couldn't believe what Sterling had just said to me. "Evans is having a party at the Foss pack house tomorrow night?" I repeated, my mind racing with dozen possibilities. Sterling nodded, his eyes flashed with excitement. "Yes, and it's the perfect opportunity for us to put our plan into action." I felt the rush of adrenaline at the thought of finally taking down Evans. James, who was standing beside me, squeezed my hand in support. I took James gesture kindly. I didn't want be harsh on him despite turning him down frequently as he kept trying to win me over. "We need to make sure everything is in place," I said, hoping our plan is going to turn out well. Sterling nodded. "I've already taken care of incapacitating Evans' men. They'll be unavailable by the time we arrive and I'll send spies to the party." I nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. "And what about Evans?" Sterling smiled. "Leave that to me. I'll make sure he's nice and drunk by the

***Scarlett*** I was standing outside, trying to process everything that had happened. The happiness I felt from sending Evans to hell can't be quantified. Then I saw Bryan walking towards me. At first, I thought I was hallucinating not until his car got closer. I was surprised to see him, and I instantly knew that Adam had directed him here. As Bryan approached me, I could see the concern in his eyes. I almost broke down in tears when he wrapped his arms around me. I was taken aback, not just because he pulled me into a hug but also because people were around us, watching. "Bryan you need to leave. People are already looking strangely at us," I said in a pleading tone. He hugged me tightly and then cupped my cheeks and kissed me deeply. "Bryan, what are you doing?" I asked, pulling away from him. "I don't care who is watching. I missed you and I want to feel you close to me." "You shouldn't be here," I blurted with a warning. "Someone who knows who you are might recog

***Bryan*** Scarlett was taken aback immediately I blocked her path. "Bryan stop what you're doing and leave," She said, her voice gentle. "Scarlett, I want you in my life," I said, my voice filled with conviction. "I can't imagine living without you. The days I've spent without you close to me have been the hardest." She remained quiet and look at me. I stepped forward until I closed the distance between us. I almost thought she was going to step away from me when I reached out to hold her. I placed her hand on my chest until I was sure she could feel my heart beat. "Can you hear that? I've never felt like this for anyone." "I can't do this. We shouldn't be doing this. You know that." I pulled her onto a hug. That is my answer to her. She was weak in my arms, her body trembling with desire. My touch was setting her skin on fire, and I could feel her surrendering to me. But then, she pushed me away, her eyes filled with sadness. "Bryan, you're being stubborn. Why do you wa

***Scarlett*** I cried myself to sleep my heart heavy with grief. I had let Bryan go, choosing his happiness over mine. I wanted him, but not at the cost of his peace of mind. I knew that he deserved to be happy, and I couldn't bear the thought of being the one to take that away from him. It was surprising that Alpha Westby would come to warm me by himself. If only he knew that I also didn't want Bryan here. After settling everything with the authorities, I left James's pack and headed back to my own. I was greeted with open arms by my pack members, who were eager to see me and hear my own side of the story. But I knew that I couldn't rest yet. There was still work to be done. I had to make sure that Evans's men were brought to justice, and that my pack was safe. I turned to look at Sterling. "We must look for Andrew. He is on the run." "Pathetic. He's such a snake. We now know why Evans preferred to keep him close." Someone complained. "He's been leaking pack informa
