"Mate". He said, reaching out his hand to her. Amelia stretched out her own hand and placed it in his with a big smile on her face and her eyes full of love. Finally, the moon goddess has shown her favor. She found her mate on her 18th birthday. Not many were blessed or lucky to find their mate when they turned 18. Most werewolves stay so long without a mate.She couldn't wait to love and cherish him for the rest of her life. Suddenly a bright light came on, blinding her eyes. She looked around, trying to adjust her eyes to the light.She saw her pack gathered in the room. "Were they here to celebrate with her?" Amelia thought to herself. It was her birthday after all.She had turned 18 and had been blessed to find her mate on the same day. She saw her parents in the crowd of people, smiling at her. They had thrown an extravagant birthday party for her and everyone in the pack had been invited. Today was her day and she felt so happy. She was almost smiling, but their smiles turned to a look of pity and sadness and she saw tears flowing down their cheeks.She became confused. Why were they crying all of a sudden? Today is a happy day. She had turned 18, and she had found her mate,so why were the sad? "What is happening?" She thought to herself." Are they not happy for me?" She turned to look at the other people around and saw that same look in their eyes. They were pointing at her and shaking their heads in pity. Some of them were even laughing at her. The people that were laughing at her were chanting. She tried to make out what they were saying. Then she heard the words she dreaded so much. "Fat! Fat! Pig! Pig!". Why were they saying such horrible words to her? They were supposed to be happy for her. Why mock her? She saw her brothers in the crowd of people. They looked angry and were growling at someone behind her. "Why were they so angry,. They should be happy for her? It was her birthday and she had also found her mate ", she murmured to herself. What were they looking at behind her that made them so angry? She turned and looked behind her and saw her best friend, standing alone and looking at her with so much hatred and triumph in her eyes. She was shocked and surprised by the look of pure hatred in her best friend's eyes. Her best friend was saying something. Then she heard what she was saying. "Fat Amelia! Pig Girl. No one will ever love you". She felt so horrible and pained. Why was her best friend saying such horrible words to her? Has she always been this wicked? Has she been so blind to see Lola for who she really is? What was happening here? She was getting more and more confused by the whole situation. Suddenly, her mate ripped his hand from hers. She felt so cold and alone. She turned from her best friend and looked at him.She saw his eyes but could not see the other parts of his face, so she couldn't recognize him. His eyes were full of disdain and hatred. He looked at her with so much scorn. She tasted salty water in her mouth. Where was the water coming from? She touched her face, thinking she was sweating or something. What she touched was tears, streaming down her cheeks into her mouth. As soon as she touched the tears,she felt so much pain in her chest. It was like a hand had reached into her chest and ripped her heart out and shredded it into pieces. "What in the goddess is happening?", she cried out. She heard a voice calling her name in the distance. "Amelia! Amelia! Amelia!", the voice got closer. Everything became blurry and she closed her eyes because she felt sick to her stomach.The person calling her name got closer, grabbed her by her shoulders, shook her and said "Amelia, wake up! She opened her eyes and saw her mother's face staring back at her. "Amelia, are you okay? What is happening? Why were you screaming?You were crying in your sleep and breathing heavily ". She looked around her surroundings and discovered that she was in her room and on her bed. She felt wetness on her face and she touched her face. She discovered that she had been crying. So she cried in her dream and it showed in reality. It was a dream yet it felt so real though. "Amelia, you are making me worried "her mom said, shaking her again. Looking at her mom, she replied "Don't worry mom. It's nothing.I am fine. It was just a bad dream". "Are you sure, dearest? I can see you have been crying. I can see the tears. Do you want to talk about it?" Her mom asked,still worried. "No mom,I don't even remember it anymore. It must have been a nightmare, hence the tears, but I am fine. I promise", she lied to her mother's her which she had never done before. "Okay dearest,if you say so.I came to wake you up for school,so that you will not be late",her mom replied. Amelia groaned.She hated school.They bullied her at school because of her weight.She was attending high school in her pack Today was going to be another day of bullying and snide comments. " You have 15 minutes,Amelia". Her mom said.She had even forgotten that her mom was still in the room. "Okay mom".she replied.Her mom got up and left the room. She got up from her bed and headed to the dresser mirror in her room.She stood in front of it and stripped.When her clothes were off her body,she looked at her self.She hated her body.She looked at the stretch marks on her arms,breast, stomach,hips and thighs.She grabbed her breast.They were so big and full.She traced her hands down to her stomach and grabbed it.She shook her head in disgust.Other girls her age were slender and willowy. Why did she have to be on the big side? She turned from the mirror and headed to the bathroom.When she was done with her morning routine,she headed to her closet to pick out an outfit for the day.As she was trying to sort that out, different thoughts regarding the dream were flowing through her head.She was disturbed and troubled. She shook it off and blamed it on nervousness of her upcoming 18th birthday party.She hated parties.She dressed and stepped out of her room with her backpack. "All will be well!" She repeated while murmuring to herself. "I will have a great party and everything will go well.I can't wait to find my mate on that day", she continued talking to her self. She found her mom in the kitchen.She reached for the fruit basket on the island table and took and apple and a banana. "I am off to school mom",she said to her mother. "Okay dearest.Have a great day at school",her mom replied. As if, Amelia thought to herself.She squared her shoulders and walked out the door of her parents house,ready to face another horrible day at school.
