Marked for Ruin: The Alphas’ Rejected Mate Ella
ELLAIf I said the seer’s actions hadn’t taken me unawares, I would be telling a terrible lie. I understood not wanting me around while she worked, but stopping in the middle of a session and refusing to give me the information I needed was another ball game entirely.What were the odds that I would find another seer who’d be willing to tell me what I wanted to know? I didn’t want to walk around telling all and sundry that I was looking for a way to cut ties with Kade and Lucian—word traveled fast in this town.Even faster in the pack. I needed to get it done, but I also needed to know that whoever I was going to meet would be able to help me achieve my goal and be as discreet as possible.I sighed and left the premises. If she didn’t want me around, the only thing I could do was wait. I wasn’t sure how long I had to stay away, but I would try to come around next weekend.Maybe she’d be in a better mood then and would be ready to talk about the things I needed to know.As I walked dow

ELLAWhoever decided that the weekend only consisted of two days was a really terrible person, and they were lucky I couldn’t go back in time to shake some sense into them.It was Monday already, and I hated that I had to drag my barely healed body to this place and force myself to sit through classes.I would’ve stayed home, but that would ruin my perfect attendance, and I had a test coming up after lunch. I wasn’t going to let an aching body take away the chance of increasing my credits.If I started to feel faint, I’d simply go to the infirmary and spend some time with the nurse. I didn’t need to take any medication—if anything, the really sore parts of my body were healed, and the rest would be over before the end of the day. I just needed to rest.I thought about the note I had read earlier. Since I got it, I had been trying to make sense of the text written on it, but to no avail. I couldn’t pinpoint why, but it felt oddly familiar.I couldn’t understand what was written or why

ELLALyla spent more time talking to Quincy than me at lunch, and I was actually happy about it.It was like watching a kid get a new shiny toy they wanted to play with all day, and it also meant I could retain my quiet time and just watch everything happening around me.To be fair, she was a better host than I was. When she learned he was a new transfer student, she started explaining how things worked in the school beyond his class schedule.She told him about the cliques, the people he needed to avoid or be wary of; which was funny, because she was always talking about inclusion for everyone, but she was right.That group of people who hung around school selling drugs and never graduating were definitely ones to stay away from.Except, of course, if that was your crowd, then they’d be great allies.Still, they had their advantages, and she urged him to learn how to use that to his benefit. I was zoning in and out throughout the conversation and tried to focus on finishing my food.

ELLAThe loud sound of Quincy pressing the car horn reverberated throughout the house, and I groaned.We had come to a silent arrangement over the course of this budding relationship—he would pick up Lyla, then stop by my house to pick me up too.We always went to school together. At first, it seemed strange because I was used to walking to school by myself and being alone with my thoughts.Now, I was stuck listening to the sound of their voices talking about the previous day and trying to rope me into the conversation. More often than not, I chose silence, as I would rather listen. Today was one of those days.I picked up my bag and walked to the door, locked it behind me, and got into the car. The ride to school was like any other. Lyla sat in the front seat talking with Quincy, and I enjoyed being ferried from one place to the other.What I didn’t anticipate was that this morning had a lot in store for me. When we arrived at the gate, I saw something that made my heart race.I didn

ELLAWhen we arrived at the school, the body had been removed from the gate and the blood cleaned up, but I could still smell the stench in the air, and the feeling of dread that I had been walking around with seemed to triple in intensity.I swallowed and tried to ignore it as I walked to the field with the others. Soon after, the tryouts began, and we had to sit through a couple of mediocre performances before it was Quincy’s turn.Once he stepped on the field, I knew he would give the twins a run for their position as team leads, but his composure told me something else—something I had been suspecting for a long time.His moves, his speed, the way he caught the ball and threw it back made Lyla and me pass knowing looks between each other.Unlike the twins, he wasn’t showing any restriction in using his power. The only thing he didn’t do was turn into wolf form, but everything else was enough to confirm everything I needed to know.He was a werewolf—and if I was delusional enough, h

ELLAI left Lyla’s house to get a few things from mine and decided to meet up with Quincy. We met at the diner where he was picking up his dinner, and I told him my plans to leave town.I explained that Lucian’s note wasn’t a good idea and, though I wasn’t sure I could go into details, I needed to leave as soon as possible. He was delighted to hear my plans and said he was happy I had come to him with it.Then he told me that he was a werewolf too. I wasn’t sure how to react to this news, but I tried not to make a fuss about it. I told him that I had suspected it since the tryouts but didn’t want to push any further when I realized he wasn’t very keen on talking about where he had come from earlier.I asked if he didn’t have a pack to return to. He was hesitant to reply but finally stated that he had been planning to leave town for a while too and had always preferred being alone.It was easier to move from one place to another that way. That seemed like a fair explanation, but someth

ELLAUnderneath that pride was something else—I couldn’t quite put a finger on it or give it a name, but I felt it.It ran deeper than anything I’d experienced in a long time, and it made me question my decisions.It was a strange blend of fear, pride, and a wave of uncertainty. This was the first time I was leaving home—or anything I remotely called that—and while it felt like adventure was waiting for me ahead, the thought of being alone in a new place terrified me.I didn’t know what to do with all these emotions. This was unfamiliar territory, and as usual, I had no map, no guide, no one to show me how to move forward.I turned to Quincy and watched him for a while. He had fallen asleep a few minutes after the bus left the station. I figured he must’ve been tired from the errands he mentioned earlier and hadn’t had a chance to rest before we set out.I needed to sleep too—or at least find some way to relax—but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. There was

ELLAI hoped that no matter what happened after the pack meeting, the odds of Kade and Lucian remaining the assholes I knew them to be, and not caring enough to go after an omega, would stay the same.They were unpredictable, and the events of the last few days had given me cause to worry, but I hoped, against all odds, that the part of them which upheld the standards of debauchery was still intact.I wondered if they would simply chalk it up to some silly need to elope with the first person who gave me any kind of attention and instead focus on the task ahead of them.The only regret I had was not telling Lyla about my plans. I desperately wanted to let her know I was leaving town.I even wanted her to come with me. But I knew her—she would try to talk me out of it or insist on not letting me leave without her, which would complicate everything.Her family was an important part of the town. There was no way she could leave without telling her mom and aunt, and if she did, they would

ELLAThis new revelation seemed to throw Kade off balance. He clearly wasn’t expecting their helper to be someone within his social sphere, nor did he think there were any other alphas around the area.And this confirmed one thing for me as well: the group he was speaking to weren’t from our pack—or at least not all of them. If they were, their loyalty would lie solely with the person speaking to them and his twin.Their devotion to someone else, strong enough to keep a secret of that magnitude, was a clear indication that something else was at play here.“An alpha?” Kade said, disbelief evident in his tone. “Why would an alpha help you?”“They had… well, they had similar goals, and when they found out we wanted information on the victim, they gave it readily.”“And your excuse for not killing them?”A pause swept through the group, and they shook their heads in unison. I could tell they were all thinking the same thing.“You might be an alpha and we might be mercenaries, but we know

ELLAThe conversation clearly wasn’t going as expected for any of the parties involved, but I was determined to see it through to the end, so I listened attentively.“So you saw blood, saw a weapon, and decided that he was still alive at some point—and your initial thought was blackmail?”“Yes. We had no reason to believe any harm had come to him. His shack was in an organized state when we arrived, and our informant had seen him earlier that day, hale and hearty, planning something fun with his buddies.”“You thought their idea of fun included spilling blood?”“Fun can be anything for anyone. We were focused on carrying out the assignment you gave us, not trying to put two and two together.”“That’s very clear. I should’ve found smarter people to get this done. So humor me—what did you do after?”“We contacted the person who had given us the information about his whereabouts and asked if he had seen the victim again after the first sighting. He admitted he hadn’t come across him sinc

ELLAPerhaps watching the entire procession would help me understand what I was dealing with. I had never experienced anything like this before.I wasn’t sure how to navigate this new ability—there were no seers to ask, no council of elders to tell me how to channel this power or even what to call it—but the thrill of encountering something unknown piqued my curiosity.It was fascinating to discover that I could tap into the mind of another wolf, but whose thoughts had I ventured into? There was only one way to find out, so I steadied my nerves and decided to observe.The whole thing was surreal—I had gone from being annoyed and irritated by everything around me to trying to unravel what I had just unlocked. If there had been a memo about this happening, I had clearly missed it.I focused on the events unfolding on the other side. Whoever this was, they were in a meeting with other werewolves. But it wasn’t a regular pack meeting—it felt more like something arranged in secrecy. And wh

ELLAWhen I got to the end of the lot, I stopped walking and peered at the trees for a bit, trying to see if that was all there was.But I soon discovered that there was a clear path in the middle of them, and that only meant one thing—there was more than just trees waiting beyond this path, and I needed to get to it as soon as possible.But first, I had to make sure Quincy knew I was alright. If I just wandered off, he would end up worried and start searching for me.I wasn’t interested in explaining that I needed some time to myself, so the best thing was to make that clear right away.I walked back to the motel and met him at the door.“I was about to come get you,” he said with a smile.I tried to mirror his expression, but it felt too warm and cheery—a far cry from what I was feeling. I couldn’t bring myself to pretend, so I let it go.“Likewise,” I replied as calmly as I could and walked past him into the reception area. “Are the rooms ready?”“Yes, come, I’ll show you how to ge

ELLAThe air was dry during the day, then cold and damp at night. I wasn’t sure if I liked it, but it was a new experience compared to where I was coming from, so I accepted it.As I walked through the parking lot, I thought about what Quincy had said. I still didn’t believe his confession of love, but it was surprisingly comforting to know that someone felt that way about me.The prospect of starting my own pack and being away from the Blackthorns filled me with both excitement and fear.Starting fresh was no easy feat. I would be in a different town with people I had never lived with before—I didn’t know their temperaments or understand their way of life.At the same time, it was an opportunity to begin again. There wouldn’t be any social ladder to climb.I didn’t have to impress cliques or keep trying, after failing multiple times, to be part of people who clearly wanted nothing to do with me.It was one thing to dream of a life where I could be whoever I wanted. It was another to

ELLAI was at my wits’ end when we arrived at the next stop. As we alighted from the vehicle, I wished there was a way to move quickly from the station to the motel.Above all, I hoped he would tell me this was our final stop — but that wasn’t happening anytime soon.We had to get a ticket for the next trip, book a room at the hotel, and find something to eat before doing anything else.At one point, I had considered walking around the towns we stopped in for sightseeing, but what difference would that make?It would only postpone the inevitable feeling that these trips were never-ending, and then I’d just get on another bus and continue going to wherever.I resisted the urge to let out a string of curses when my jacket caught on the seat in front of me. Tugging it free, I carried on.When the air blew, it felt dry, and for some reason, I wished we had stayed at Lorne a little longer.I was just starting to get used to the environment before we left the next morning.I decided that if

ELLA“There isn’t a manual for how love works, I know that. I also know it doesn’t just happen; there has to be some sort of… I don’t know, something has to spark those emotions between the two people involved… I… What I can’t wrap my head around is how quickly this happened,” I said finally, and he chuckled.“I’m no expert on the matter either, but I think neither of us has a hold on something as powerful as love or when it would spring up; it just happens and…” he responded and started to reach for my hand but stopped.I was happy he didn’t go through with it. I was still in shock, and our bodies touching was the last thing I needed at this point. I wondered what to do with this piece of information—this was the first time someone had ever declared their feelings for me, and it was also the first time it was unrequited from my end.I barely knew him to pinpoint anything that would make me attracted to him; perhaps it was the shock or the need to logically critique what he was saying
Marked for Ruin: The Alphas’ Rejected Mate Ella
ELLAHe started by explaining that he wasn’t just any werewolf—he was an Alpha from the Sevill-Turner pack who had been tormented by members of the Blackthorn pack in the past.He had lost loved ones during the altercation and was the last Alpha standing when he decided it was time to do something about the dire situation.He left his town and his people to come to Blackthorn territory. This revelation about him having a pack didn’t match the story he had given me earlier about preferring to be alone, but I decided to listen until the end.Perhaps it was his way of throwing me off the subject because he wasn’t comfortable talking about it, and I understood that.Now that he was willing to divulge information about himself, the sensible thing to do was to listen as he spoke.“When I came to your town, I had one agenda in mind: to avenge the wolves under my care who had been killed,” he said, and I stared at him like he had lost his mind.“That’s why you came?” I asked, wearing a surpri
Marked for Ruin: The Alphas’ Rejected Mate Ella
ELLAWe had gotten food and found a cheap motel to spend the night. It wasn’t a terrible spot to sleep in, and I was grateful for that. Quincy had initially wanted a room with twin beds, but those options had been taken, so we had to settle for the one which was available.I wondered if it would feel a little awkward lying next to him and reminded myself that it was only for a few hours. To be fair, it was still bright outside, which meant I could walk around the town and familiarize myself with the place while shaking off whatever weird feeling I would have regarding being in the same room with him.“I’m going to the pub and take a walk around, want to come?” he asked as soon as we had gotten into the room. He set the bags on the couch, which was positioned in the corner of the room, and shifted his gaze to me.I thought about it for a few seconds, then shook my head. He had slept the entire drive here and had enough energy to move around.I had stayed awake throughout the journey, a
