Marked for Ruin: The Alphas’ Rejected Mate The Unwanted Mate
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

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

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

ELLAI hadn’t healed from the rejection I felt from the twins. I didn’t want to see them, be close to them, or even breathe in their scent, but I knew I was just hurting. I could only stay away from the pack for so long.At some point, I would have to be in the same space as them, and I needed to learn how to deal with my emotions.In school, it was easier to stay away from them as the bullying had drastically reduced. It felt like the rejection was the catalyst they needed to change their minds about picking on me.I didn’t walk past them in the hallway; it seemed like they were doing everything possible to prove that they wanted nothing to do with me. And in a way, that hurt just as much as the bullying.I had grown accustomed to seeing them leaning against my locker with a hateful look in their eyes. Now, there was nothing.I wasn’t sure how to deal with this new development, but I held onto one thing: they rejected me, and I had to live with that for the rest of my life.It probab

ELLAIt was time to train, and Lyla was nowhere to be found. This was the first time she had ever been late for anything we had scheduled.I was a little worried but decided to chalk it up to something keeping her behind schedule. So, I settled on the grass to read a book.I had found the clearing in the woods where she told me to meet her. I could see why she had chosen this place. It was quiet, detached from the town, and had an air of serenity unlike other parts of the woods.On my own, I would have never found somewhere like this. If anything, I would have been locked up in the house with my nose in a book, trying to meet my reading quota.Being outside, enjoying the rare silence I never got in school and the peace I never found anywhere else, was refreshing.At some point, I started wondering if it wouldn’t be such a bad thing if she didn’t show up at all. That would mean rescheduling our training, but I didn’t mind.I could just sit here, enjoying the company of my books and the

ELLAWe watched in silence as he walked away. I was still feeling befuddled by what had transpired and was starting to think I was in a silly dream I needed to wake up from.“Pinch me,” I muttered and looked around. The wind had picked up, and the leaves rustled as it blew through the woods.That was enough proof that I wasn’t imagining the entire scenario.“What was he doing here?” Lyla asked. She seemed upset, but I knew it wasn’t directed at me. Perhaps dinner didn’t go well, or she was just as surprised as I was to see Kade. “Are you hurt?”“No… I… just a little disoriented, but I’m fine,” I replied, and she let out a relieved sigh, then repeated the first question.I was still in shock and explained the exchange as briefly as I could. She clicked her tongue and moved toward me.“Don’t let him bother you. This is probably some silly ploy he and his brother have come up with. Don’t let them get to you,” she said.I stood rooted to a spot for a few minutes, trying to gather my thoug

ELLAI was still talking when he reached out and pulled me close to him. Our bodies were so close to one another that I could hear his heartbeat and breathe in the smell of his cologne mixed with sweat.I blinked and stopped talking for a moment, not because I had run out of words to express myself - far from that. I had a number of things to say, and I wasn’t close to being done, but I had genuinely lost my train of thought.For the first time that evening, I was grateful it was dark and he couldn’t see the effect that singular act had on me.I cleared my throat and tried to continue talking, but as soon as I opened my mouth, my brain felt mushy, and I knew nothing I would say from that point would be coherent. I had only one option: to leave.Everything within me was screaming the same thing. My blood had run hot and cold at the same time. I was struggling to move my feet, but his hand was still on my arm.“Run, Ella, run,” I told myself, trying to internally remind myself that I wa

KADE“If you hate it so much, then why are you here?” she retorted, and I scoffed.“You really just hear what you want to hear, don’t you?” I asked, trying to mask my irritation.She was trying to process what I was saying, and I understood it. I wasn’t sure why I had decided to do this, but after Lucian told me he had seen her in this part of the woods, I needed to see for myself if what he was saying was true. It was.I didn’t admit that to him, though, and instead, I suggested it was better for all three of us to move on since we had already rejected her.But I understood it; she was on a loop in my mind, and I needed to do something about it.I wasn’t sure if this was the right way to go about it, but I needed to cover my bases.If the pack considered having a mate essential to taking over the leadership role, perhaps I could make things feel less abrasive with Ella.She still wasn’t a great pick for the role, but I needed a backup plan on that front—and a bird in the hand is defi

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

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

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

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

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

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
