Marked for Ruin: The Alphas’ Rejected Mate Ella
ELLA“Look who the cat dragged out,” I said as I walked through the front door and met Lyla leaning against my locker. She chuckled and folded her arms, waiting until I got closer to where she was standing before responding.“Good morning to you too, Miss Harper,” she smiled, and I giggled at her formal tone.It was a great morning, to be honest. I had woken up feeling refreshed and ready for the day. It was a new feeling, and I wasn’t sure how to deal with it, but I liked it. I felt free, like the world was at my fingertips and I could do anything I wanted.Seeing Lyla made me feel a lot better. She had an unreadable expression but still managed to maintain her calm and collected personality.I reached into my locker, collected the books and other items I needed for my classes, and locked it before turning to her.“I got your note yesterday,” I said as we walked down the hallway. We had different classes this morning but still had enough time to chat before we had to go our separate

LUCIANIt had been two days since Ella and I saw each other in the woods, but I still hadn’t gotten over how I felt when our skin touched.That, and the way the pack meeting made me feel. At first, I had brushed it off as nothing and focused on the physical part of it because most of the conflicts we had were always settled by combat.But as I walked home that evening, I felt something else stir within me. If I was already facing these internal conflicts before even taking over the leadership of the pack, I didn’t want to find out how difficult it would be to lead the others.“I have my work cut out for me,” I muttered with a sigh, then stopped in my tracks. I was standing in the middle of the school’s empty hallway.I wasn’t sure how I had gotten here, but the last thing I remembered was sitting in a classroom, learning about the town’s history or something related to that.I couldn’t concentrate on the lesson, so I had taken a pass and headed for the bathroom, but I never got there.

KADE“If wishes were horses, beggars would ride”That was my waking thought that morning, and at first, it seemed bizarre. But as the day progressed, I understood why that line kept looping in my mind. The universe had decided to plague me with thoughts of Ella Harper, and I hated it.Getting out of bed was the worst part. I already knew I’d spend my day in a permanent state of irritation, and I wasn’t looking forward to it.It had been at least forty-eight hours since her name was mentioned at the pack meeting, and I was still thinking about it. The fact that she had come up in the conversation unnerved me.If it mattered to the pack that Lucian didn’t have a mate before taking over leadership, that posed a problem for me as well.If my coup succeeded, the odds weren’t looking so favorable at this point. But if there was the slightest chance that things would go as planned, that would put a wrench in the entire process.Being mates with Ella was the worst arrangement the universe cou

LUCIAN“Hey, I didn’t see you at breakfast,” Kade said as he walked towards the car. I had gotten to school a few minutes before the bell signaling the end of the day rang.I stood in the parking lot, contemplating whether it made any sense to go back in but decided against it. The janitors and principal would be patrolling the hallways at this time, looking for prey to send off to detention, and I wasn’t in the mood to come up with an explanation for why I was walking through the doors at that hour.I felt my pocket and realized that the pass was still in there - I needed to return it because it was the only thing that could implicate me if I gave it back the next day.Or maybe it was better to give it back later. I could go back to the classroom early and hand it to the teacher, saying that I had been in the counselor’s office and then went over to the infirmary because I was feeling a little under the weather.It was a stretch, but I hoped my excuse wouldn’t be fact-checked and tha

ELLALyla and I had spoken during lunch. Her trip to the principal’s office had been a simple misunderstanding—at least, that’s what she said.But as she narrated the ordeal, I felt like her teammates were trying to sabotage her and get her out of the cheerleading squad for reasons best known to them.She asked if I had seen the pictures of her making the rounds in the school gossip vine, and I told her I was out of touch with anything that wasn’t related to schoolwork and going straight home once the day was over.She chuckled at the response, and that was the first time I had seen her genuinely smile all day.It was great to see the stress lines on her face lessen a little, and I asked her to tell me all about it.She explained that someone had made a fake picture of her in a compromising position with an older man and sent it to the whole school.As she spoke, I remembered coming to school a few days ago and noticing how everyone was glued to their phones or chattering excitedly wi

ELLAWe spent the next few hours training. I couldn’t tell if she had gotten stronger over the last few days or if she was simply channeling her emotions into this session, but at the beginning, I was struggling to keep up.Slowly, I started catching up with her pace. My body hurt all over, and my joints screamed for mercy, but I didn’t stop until she signaled that it was time to take a break.Even then, I wanted to keep going, but I knew it was better to let her catch her breath and recollect her thoughts.I tried to steady my breathing and calm my nerves as she reached into her bag and pulled out some sandwiches and two bottles of juice. I hadn’t realized how hungry I was until the aroma of peanut butter hit my nostrils.I thanked her as we sat down and ate a couple of sandwiches before drinking from the bottle she had given me. I chuckled at how much my body ached; it reminded me of the first day I started these sessions.The only difference was that this time, I had become accusto

ELLAI continued training until after sunset and was breathless by the time I decided my body had reached its limit for the day. Despite the ache in my joints, I felt lighter and much stronger.I had also practiced the moves I saw Lyla perform and was certain I had mastered them, but I would only confirm that when we returned here to practice tomorrow.I closed my eyes for a moment, exhaled, and inhaled until I had steadied my breathing. I resisted the urge to open my eyes and decided to listen to the sound of the waterfall to help me stay calm.As the minutes rolled by, I realized that the feeling I had been ignoring for so long—the sensation of impending doom that seemed to envelop me throughout the day—was still there, and this time, it seemed to have heightened with the emotions I was feeling.This was yet another problem I had to solve. My troubles seemed to be exacerbated at every turn, and it irked me greatly. I needed to find solutions to everything plaguing my mind, and I did

ELLAI was starting to lose my temper, and honestly, I didn’t care how he would react to my outburst.I had taken enough of being followed around by these twins; I simply craved some peace and quiet.He looked taken aback by my retort, but I was too engrossed in the memory of the last few minutes before he showed up to care.They always ruined everything, him and his brother. If he hadn’t turned up, I would’ve been able to communicate with the wolf I had just seen and find out where it was from. Or I would’ve died fighting for my life.I refused to consider the possibility that his appearance had saved me from imminent death. The Blackthorn twins had never saved me from anything, and if that wolf was an alpha, it wouldn’t have run away just because another person showed up.There was more to all of this, and I needed to get to the bottom of it. Again, my list of things I needed to sort out had grown, but this seemed very important.I couldn’t shake the feeling that the alpha was conne

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

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

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
