His Plump Mate

Rebel POV

Two months.

It’s been two months since I was rejected.

The first week was the worst.

My sister was getting ready to turn 18 years old that week and I had a lot of things thrown on my plate to complete.

Hemming her birthday dress, preparing the menu for the dinner, making a cake, decorating the house, and more, all needed to get completed.

I was barely able to make it home the day Alpha Cullen rejected me.

He just left and didn’t spare me a second glance.

Painfully, I had walked over two miles in my weaken state to get back to my room in the attic.

I cried more when I got there and then slept later than normal.

My father saw my state, and while he didn’t care what caused me to look so sickly, at least he didn’t push me to train that morning and instead said to sleep until it was time to do the housework.

That morning, I got a needed three hours of extra sleep.

Even though I still felt weak, I came downstairs to start my day in the kitchen.

Since then, my only day off has been spent in the attic by myself.

My sister turned 18, got her wolf, enjoyed everyone’s attention, and I stayed in the shadows.

The only thing she didn’t find was her fated mate.

I already know that when she finds her mate, that her mate won’t reject her.

He will want her, cherish her, love her.

The crazy part is she treats everyone like they are beneath her and yet everyone still wants to please her.

At this point, I just tolerate her.

I’m resigned about my future.

Second chance mates are rare from what I remember reading, and because I don’t get to be seen in public, I doubt I’ll have a chance to meet someone, even if the moon goddess wanted to show me kindness.

At least Alpha Cullen didn’t show up for Rachel’s birthday.

It saved me additional pain of having to stand in the same room with him and the pain I was going through at the time.

The thought of the rejection and the very real possibility of not having a mate has been depressing me.

Roxie is slowly coming back around though.

As the pain of the rejection eased, she started coming through and talking again.

Although, some of her sass has been lost.

I don’t blame her.

Some of my fire has been extinguished too.

I don’t feel the same anymore.
