Marked for Ruin: The Alphas’ Rejected Mate Ella
ELLASeeing Lucian had surprised me, but I wasn’t going to show it. He didn’t need to know that he had that kind of effect on me.Honestly, I had expected to see one of the rogue wolves the elders spoke about, and I was ready to try out everything I had learned while training with Lyla. But his presence threw me off balance.He didn’t need to know that, and I certainly wasn’t going to let it show on my face. I turned away for a moment to regain my composure.When I was certain I was in a better frame of mind to respond, I turned back to meet his gaze.“What are you doing here?” I asked.He squinted at me.“You heard me the first time,” came the reply, and I shrugged.“I’ve decided to ignore whatever it was you said and focus on getting you out of here,” I answered, folding my arms.He looked around, and I could see that even he appreciated how beautiful the scenery was, although he said nothing to that effect. He shifted his gaze back to me and sneered.“Were you doing what I think yo

ELLAAs I walked away, I replayed the conversation in my head and couldn’t help but smile at how I had handled the situation. It was better than I expected. I had been thrown off by his sudden appearance, but I quickly adapted and made the best of it.“I didn’t cower,” I muttered to myself as a grin crept onto my face.I felt elated. For a moment, I forgot about everything else that was troubling my mind and focused on being an entirely different person from who Lucian and his brother knew.I could tell that he wasn’t expecting that - but he should’ve known better. From the moment they rejected me, it sparked a flame in my soul. One I never knew was capable of being lit, and while I was seemingly unable to fan the embers on my own, Lyla had been a great source of encouragement.My thoughts shifted to Lyla as I made my way out of the woods. She hadn’t come to the meeting point, as she stated in her note, and Lucian’s presence had disrupted my stay. I just hoped she wouldn’t go there ho

KADEThe meeting had ended, and I went home. Lucian said he needed some time alone, and I understood him. After that commotion during the pack meeting, he certainly needed the space to reevaluate things.I knew he would come to talk to me when he was ready - he always did. First, as a way of freeing his mind of the thoughts that plagued him, and also because he valued my opinions regarding whatever plans or decisions he intended to make.What annoyed me was the way things had played out. At first, it was boring, then a little exciting as people finally started speaking up about who should lead the pack. But then, it took a different turn with Aubrey’s speech.As I drove home, I could still recall the way I felt when she started talking, like something had shifted in the atmosphere. For Langdon, it was pure comedy.But for me, I wasn’t sure I was interested in speaking to the wolves I had overheard discussing a coup anymore. It just didn’t make sense to start another round of fancy spe

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

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

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 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

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

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

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.

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

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

ELLAI had spent the weekend recuperating—being home and in my own bed did wonders. I was finally in a space no one could barge into and make me feel uncomfortable, except, of course, for the occasional doorbell that went off at specific times of the day.It had started the same morning Quincy dropped me off. That afternoon, I heard the bell and slowly dragged myself to the door, only to find no one there. Instead, a basket filled with food items sat on the porch, with a get well soon note attached.At first, it was strange to receive something without knowing who it came from. But when another basket arrived later that evening, I decided it was a welcome development.Whoever was sending it had saved me the trouble of cooking or spending more money to order food—and for that, I was grateful. I would’ve liked to know who was behind the kind gesture, but if they preferred to stay anonymous, that was fine by me. Sooner or later, I’d find out. Right now, I just needed to get my strength b
