ELLA

“Of course, they aren’t your problems, even if you and your brother contributed greatly to those problems,” I said maliciously, and he scowled.

He ignored my retort and continued speaking. “Again, this affects me directly. That’s the only reason I’m here, which brings up the question—why did you leave without informing anyone?”

I rolled my eyes and ran my hands through my hair. I knew that question would pop up at some point, but I wasn’t interested in answering it—especially if it came from Kade.

The only person who deserved an answer to that question was Lyla, and she wasn’t here to get one, so there was no need to give anyone else a befitting reply.

“I didn’t think I was answerable to any of you,” I replied after a long silence, and he shook his head.

“We are a pack, Harper. You can’t just leave without giving a notice. Did you consider the fact that something might happen to you along the way or you might run into problems—such as this one—that we have to deal with, and not h

    ELLA“I came all the way here because this new ability is peculiar. I couldn’t go to the pack’s seer on my own—I’m not the one who has the power to see through the eyes of others—and if I mentioned it, your absence would become a major issue. The council wouldn’t sit back and ignore the fact that a pack member was missing, especially at a time like this when we already have cause for paranoia. It had nothing to do with how you’re faring and more to do with my curiosity.”He finished talking, exhaled, and shook his head slowly. He seemed like he was deep in thought and still had more to say, so I didn’t say anything for a moment. I expected him to start pacing any minute now. Through this new ability, I had learned that he paced when he had a lot on his mind.“Now that you’ve sated your curiosity and learned that I know nothing about how this ability works, can you leave now? I left the pack to get away from you and your brother. I don’t want to be reminded of a life I ran away from.”

    KADEI had given that answer because I wasn’t about to explain to her that the night I first felt her presence in my mind, I was having a conversation no one else needed to know about.I had to be sure she hadn’t heard anything she wasn’t supposed to—anything that might throw a wrench into my plans. Everything was already going wrong on that end. I didn’t need extra problems.Nothing she had said so far was convincing. Perhaps it was my cynicism at play, or maybe I just couldn’t bring myself to believe her because I felt like someone had been listening in on the conversation when it happened.But then again, how could I be certain she heard anything if she had continuously denied it?The only way to tell if she was lying or not would be to wait and see what came after this. Hopefully, it didn’t involve me sitting at a detective’s desk writing a statement.“If that’s the case, I’ve answered your question. I hope you have no more, because you need to be on your way now,” she said.Her v

    EllaThe hallway felt endless. I paused, glanced around, and continued walking, though each step felt heavier than the last. The silence was deafening, punctuated only by the echo of my footsteps. I had grown used to it—the stares, the whispers, the cold indifference.In the beginning, it was new and different in ways I couldn’t explain, but now it was a familiar feeling. I could almost taste it every time I experienced it. When you’re ostracized long enough, it becomes easier to live with the isolation that comes with it.I had learned to stay in the shadows, to avoid being noticed. It was better for me, and for them. You might wonder why I chose to fade into the background, but in my world, it was a kind of salvation.I was an omega, the lowest of the low in our pack. Invisible, unappreciated, ignored, except when someone wanted to remind me of my place. They didn’t need a reason; my mere existence was enough. They would find me wherever I was, just to drill the harsh truth of my re

    EllaAs soon as I was outside, my feet moved of their own accord, and I took off running. The wind rushed through my hair, and the world behind me faded into the distance.I didn’t stop until I was deep in the woods, far from the pack house, far from them. I needed to be alone. I needed to think. Never in a million years did I imagine this would happen.“This is so cruel. Anybody, anybody but them,” I muttered as I ran.I didn’t know where I was headed, but I let my feet guide me. My heart pounded in my chest, and every time I thought about it, I felt the urge to get farther and farther away from them.Yet, the bond tugged at me, relentless, gnawing at my mind, telling me I belonged with them— that they were my mates.It unnerved me, but the most heartbreaking part was that they didn’t want me. Of course, they didn’t. Who would want the omega? The wolf perceived as the weakest link, the one everyone thought they were better than.I collapsed against a tree, my breath coming in ragged

    EllaIt grew quieter as the sound of their footsteps faded into the distance. They were gone.They had rejected me, and they didn’t care about how that affected me. That was the height of their cruelty, but in a way, I understood them.As I stumbled through the woods, my vision blurred with tears that I refused to shed. I tried to see things from their perspective as the conversation replayed in my mind.While I had put on a brave face earlier, now, alone, I could admit that it broke me to come to terms with reality.Each step felt heavy. I had longed for silence, but this was deafening. My head throbbed, and my limbs felt weak from exhaustion and something else— something I would be thinking about for a long time.I stopped walking and looked back, hoping for a moment that they had changed their minds and returned. Then I broke into a short laugh. Hope was such a silly concept, especially when this was my reality.Nothing could change it now. I was always going to be the omega that n

  • Marked for Ruin: The Alphas’ Rejected Mate   LUCIAN

    LUCIANMorning had come faster than I anticipated. It was either that or the fact that I spent the night awake, thinking about several things.Being an alpha-in-training was the most coveted position in the pack, and as the eldest twin, it was up to me to live up to the role since I was next in line to lead.Sometimes, it felt like a burden I would prefer to pass onto someone else so I could stay in the shadows, living life on my own terms.But that was just wishful thinking. I had been training for this position since I was young, and it was almost time for me to take charge.The only way the position would be passed on was if I died or if there were wolves who wanted to contest my credibility. These options were very unlikely, so I knew I had to prepare myself for the role.From the private meetings I occasionally attended, I knew it wasn’t going to be a walk in the park.There were so many people who looked up to me, and I couldn’t afford to fail. That both excited and terrified me

    KADE“I’m nothing like Lucian,” I muttered under my breath as I made my way down the hallway and took a right turn. I walked past some students, but they seemed too engrossed in their phones to notice me, and I was grateful for it.An added advantage was leaving Lucian behind, since he was being extra lazy. He didn’t mind, and I would be free from being clustered among people whose guts I couldn’t stand. I liked it that way.It was a quiet morning in school, which was unusual. I started to wonder if we would find out something the other students thought was newsworthy. I better not be mentioned in any column or gossip, or I’ll have to find that Harper girl and make her pay.I groaned at the fact that she had become a part of my life. We were mates, and although Lucian and I had rejected her, I could still feel the bond tugging at me. The difference was that the feeling wasn’t as deep as it had been that day.When we rejected Ella, I felt the pain shoot through my chest too. We were ju

  • Marked for Ruin: The Alphas’ Rejected Mate   PROPHECY OR OMEN?

    PROPHECY OR OMEN?The Blackthorn pack was the lead pack in the quaint town of Dennison. Their family had moved into the area over three decades ago when they didn’t find any other pack in the region and decided to make it their home.There, they had their children and started to grow into a bigger family than when they had arrived.This was the pack that the twins belonged to. They had moved from their former place because the seer in their clan had seen a vision that something terrible was going to happen where they were, and the only solution was to move as far away as possible.They had fought with another pack, and their enemies were planning a war like none that had ever been witnessed in all the clans.The seer further explained that non-werewolves would be involved in the battle and that things would escalate beyond measure. While the majority of the pack would have preferred to stay back and fight for their land, the chief decided to adhere to what they had heard from the seer

    ELLAHe said it with a calm demeanor and a friendly smile. I knew there was more to that threat than the flowers-and-rainbows angle he was trying to give it with his expression.I glanced around the room one last time, hoping someone would notice how clearly uncomfortable I was with this setup and come to my aid.I shook my head at how silly that hope was—thinking people cared about anyone but themselves.They were probably too busy with whatever they’d come here to do to involve themselves in a stranger’s business.Or maybe they’d seen the exchange between us and concluded we were lovers or something similar, and so kept their noses out of it.I considered causing a scene. That would get attention, at least, and I could damn the consequences of being remembered as the girl who raised her voice in the pub. We’d be gone in a few hours anyway.“Whatever you’re thinking, don’t do it,” Kade said, studying my expression.I turned my gaze back to him and stared with as much disgust as I cou

    ELLAI had walked for a few minutes before I arrived at my destination. I had gone from wanting to head straight to the pub to letting my feet lead the way and just enjoying being outside in a town where I didn’t know anybody.Occasionally, I would stop to look through the windows of shops that were still open, and at one junction, I paused to smell the flowers outside a florist shop.They were the prettiest collection of lilies and petunias I had seen in a long time, and I was sad I couldn’t get some to take back with me.It was better that way, if I were being honest. I didn’t have a vase to put them in back at the motel room, and if I did buy any, I wasn’t sure they’d survive all the living around and shuffling that we had to endure for the rest of the journey.As I walked away from the store, I thought about what my life would be like if I had such small problems rather than the ones I had to deal with.Things would’ve been a lot different if my problems were relegated to the type

    Ella“I’m sorry I didn’t pay attention the first time you mentioned this. I dismissed it as a regular dream or something that was occurring because of fatigue. That must’ve made you feel terrible. Please forgive me,” he said, and I felt my heart race in my chest.This was the first time anyone had apologized for making me feel like my thoughts and experiences were disregarded, and I didn’t know how to deal with it.I would have never expected an apology, let alone from him, but it felt refreshing to know there were people in the world who didn’t shy away from accountability. I squeezed his hand and nudged him playfully.“It’s okay. When you said it, I considered that fatigue must’ve been an underlying factor too. It was a new experience for me as well. I don’t know one person or wolf who has gone through anything like this. It only makes sense that you thought about that first.”I was trying to reassure him that everything was fine, but at the same time, I was trying to reassure mysel

    ELLAI started hoping that I wouldn’t have to encounter being in Kade’s mind once more, but as soon as the thought crossed my mind, I heard a loud whistling sound, and my vision split in two.It happened faster than I anticipated, but I soon realized that I was no longer looking at just the stream.I could see the waterfall back home, and a feeling of dread enveloped me when I realized I was in Kade’s mind, and he was standing in the clear area where Lyla and I had our training sessions.I swallowed and tried to be as subtle as possible, but in a few minutes, I realized that he had caught onto what was happening.“I know it’s you,” he said, and a chill ran up my spine.I felt annoyed that even with the distance between us, he still had that effect on me, and didn’t bother to hide my irritation.“I wish I had connected with someone else,” I answered. The irritation I felt was evident in my tone, and I hoped he had caught onto it. “I was looking forward to talking to someone that is act

    ELLA“Hi, good morning,” Quincy said as he stepped into the room. I was on my way to the bathroom, but he had a cheery expression and a swing in his step that made me stop and look at him suspiciously.I internally chuckled at the fact that he would never have guessed that just a few minutes ago, I thought he had picked up his things and left without me.Just how traumatized was I that my first thought leaned into the worst possible outcome? It was as hilarious as it was pathetic.I would have to reprogram my mind to see the good in things, but right now, that was far from happening anytime soon.“Hey you, for someone who has missed their flight, you look too happy,” I said and turned around to face him completely.“Well, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”“The bad news. That way I can get it out of the way and appreciate the good news better.”“Fair enough. Well, bad news—our trip got rescheduled. Something about a road being fixed and buses currentl

    ELLAAt this point, I was happy I hadn’t told him about the conversation between Kade and the group.He would probably have a basic explanation for that or say I was thinking about going back to the twins, and that was why my mind was playing tricks on me—finding ways to convince me to go through with this new thought. It felt unfair to make such conclusions, but then he had taken my experience and made light of it. I didn’t know what to think anymore.“Let’s go to bed. Tomorrow you’ll wake up, and you’ll see that everything feels so much better,” he said and tapped the empty space beside him. I shook my head and walked toward the bathroom.“I need to take a long bath, and I need some time to myself. I spent the last few hours outside. I think I need to soak up.”He nodded, then closed his eyes. “If you need anything, all you have to do is wake me up, and I’ll make sure you get it. And oh, your food is on the table.”As he spoke, I glanced at the table and saw the dish covered. I didn
