REBORN AND FATED TO MY HOCKEY ALPHA BULLY
She ran away from her pack at thirteen to escape an arranged mating to a cruel aging Alpha. At Wolvaria, Ethel Gulliver finally had it all: the boyfriend of her dreams and a new life far from danger. The only blemish was Tavian Graves, the unrelenting bully who made her life miserable, mocking every extra fold of skin he could find.
Then she dies holding his hand, on a locker room floor, while her boyfriend's hands finishes what his secret lover started.
When she opened her eyes, they had gone back in time. They have matching marks neither of them asked for. A bond neither of them wanted, and an alliance built on nothing but revenge, rage, and the kind of heat that has no business existing between two people who spent years hating each other.
Their relationship is fake, she reminds herself of that every time his hands find her skin like he is memorizing it. They only have one shot to stop their murderers before history repeats itself.
But the longer she plays pretend to want him, the more she is terrified that she actually does.
Between growing feelings and passionate desire, two other murders rock the university and her past begins to catch up with her, Ethel realizes that the secrets her parents kept from her are far more dangerous than anything she could've imagined and they are well on their way to bite her in the butt.
She might've escaped once,
But this time... survival isn't guaranteed. Not for her and definitely not for anyone she loves.

Chapter: CHAPTER 5-NO STRINGSETHEL “Please, Ethel.”His forehead rested against mine for a long minute. I felt my lips quiver lightly against his palm. Sparks against my shoulder where his elbow touched. The stupid bond. I shoved his wrist away."If you're not willing to figure this out with me," I said, "then I have no reason to stay connected to you.”"I understand your anger, but you're not thinking about what rejection actually means.""You're an Alpha. You'll survive it.""And you? You're willing to go through that kind of pain just to be rid of me?""I'm stronger than I look.”"I don't doubt that." He stepped back, giving me room, but he didn't move toward the window. "What I'm saying is that we don't know how this bond works. It's not normal, Ethel. I'm a Greymoore, it's very rare for an Alpha like me to be mated to an Omega like you.”I crossed my arms. “So the bond is abnormal because I'm what? An omega? An outlaw? Is that what you want to say?” He pressed his fingers against his forehead and went s

Chapter: CHAPTER 4-COLLATERAL DAMAGEETHEL“Honey, you've not touched your dinner.”"I'm fine," I said. "Just not that hungry."I stabbed a forkful of eggs and put them in my mouth so she would stop looking at me like that.But mom didn't stop. "I prepared them exactly how you like them. Should I add more salt? What is wrong, Ethel? Talk to me.”"Nothing is wrong, mom.""Your portions have been declining for three days, Ethel.""I'm just tired." I pushed back from the table and picked up my plate. "I'll cover this and come back down later if I get hungry. I'm going to go and lie down for a bit."She sighed but didn't argue. I went around the table, kissed the top of her greying head, and took the stairs before she could find another angle to start questioning me from. I closed my bedroom door and let out a breath that felt like it had been sitting in my chest for three days.I hated lying to her. We didn't keep things from each other. But what was I supposed to say? That my boyfriend and his secret girlfriend had murder

Chapter: CHAPTER 3-MATEETHEL“No!”The sound tore out of my throat before my eyes were even open. My chair crashed backward and I hit the floor. I sat there on the floor of my lecture hall, breathing hard, gasping and looking at the curious faces of my coursemates. Wait. Coursemates? Lecture hall? What… how?“Miss Gulliver.”Professor Hargrove was looking at me from the whiteboard with his marker in his hand. “Is everything alright?”I didn't know what to say. I rubbed my eyes and looked around, then pinched myself slightly. “Miss Gulliver. I asked a question, is everything alright?”“I…” I swallowed and stood up. Dusting my purple dress. Purple?! I only wore purple on Mondays and a few minutes ago was Thursday…“Uh… yes, I'm… I'm… good.” “Then why are you disrupting my class? Don't you know that economics is a very important subject and if you are to make it to your second year with a good GPA you ought to…” I wasn't listening to him anymore because Tavian Graves was staring right at me three rows

Chapter: CHAPTER 2-FINISHEDETHEL “Why?” She sighed and let go of my wrist. “Just go home.”“What does that mean, just go home? Declan is supposed to take me home.”She shook her head and turned back to her cabinet. “You youngsters and thinking you know best.” She let out a long sigh. "At least I tried.”Uh… that was extremely weird. “Okay Mrs Barlow. I guess I'll… see you tomorrow.”She didn't respond.I turned around and headed for the showers before she could creep me out any further. The hallway was empty, Mrs Lotham had likely left and I knew that Mrs Barlow would soon leave too. Somewhere between the infirmary and the east corridor, my thoughts drifted to Declan. He had tried to fight Tavian for me.My fingers drifted to my neck without thinking, specifically to the two shallow dents just below my pulse point. A month ago during our first time, Declan's teeth had grazed that spot on my neck and I felt my emotions overwhelmingly intensify. He had pressed his forehead to mine and said that he wasn't rea

Chapter: CHAPTER 1-BIG REDETHEL “Tell me, if Declan dumped you tomorrow, would anyone here still know your name?”The entire hallway drowned in laughter around him. My books hit the floor before I could even process that I had been shoved. My soda followed, the cap popped free and the dark liquid soaked my economics textbook. “Instead of going on a weight loss journey,” Tavian snickered, tilting his head like he was genuinely puzzled, “you are hauling more junk drinks around. What's the goal here, Ethel? To fill the entire hallway when you walk past?”The laughter became ridiculously louder. “... Big Red,” someone called out. “... More like double XL Ethel,” said another.My fingers curled into a stiff fist as I tried to keep my face neutral, but the tears prickled at my eyes like they always had. I slowly reached for my wet textbook. Tavian glanced at the commenters and their mouth clamped shut.“I don't remember asking any of you to butt in.” They dispersed like chicks chasing chick-peas because appar
