One
Evelyn's POV
"You can never be my mate," I heard Alpha Eric barking rudely at me, making my eyes teary immediately, as I stared at the man who was my mate, because I never expected this.
"I can never accept a lady as fat and ugly as you as my mate," he said, making me try to move closer to him.
"But Alpha, you can't reject me. I'm your mate, and I believe the moon goddess has a good reason for making me your mate," I spoke up, while standing right in front of him now, as he looked at me in disgust.
"You can say whatever you want to say, but I want you to know one thing, and that is I will never have anything to do with you, as you are just too ugly and disgusting, that I can't even stand the sight of you," he spoke, as I felt a sharp pain in my chest.
I tried to speak but was choked with tears, as I finally let down the tears I had been trying hard to hold back.
I heard laughter coming from all angles, as I buried my head on my palm in shame.
"She is so ugly, and we are not going to like her to be our Luna in any way," I heard the people murmuring among themselves, as some also started saying abusive words at me.
I felt so humiliated and wished the ground would just open and swallow me up, and save me from this shame right now.
"I Alpha Eric rejected you as my mate," he said, making my heart sink as I fell to the ground.
"What are you waiting for, accept his rejection and break the bond between you two," the crowd screamed, as I remained rooted at the spot, thinking about how my life was going to be after this.
I really won't be able to recover, or even look anyone in this Pack in the eye, because I knew they were always going to remain with me for the rest of my life.
They have always mocked and humiliated me before because of my size, and that really breaks me every day, and now this was even worse than anything else.
"What are you waiting for Evelyn , just accept it already," I heard Mirabel say, making me feel worse than ever.
Mirabel was my sister and never for once has she ever supported me, or even cared for me as a sister, rather she made my life even more miserable, but always reminded me of my size, and how much she was disgusted by it.
"What are you still waiting for, or do you want me to force you to accept it," Alpha Eric asked, pulling me by my hair, as more tears poured down my cheeks.
"I Evelyn Peterson accepted your rejection," I mumbled, as more tears poured down my cheeks as rain, as I held onto my chest feeling our mate bond fading away.
"That better," he said coldly, without thinking twice, as he walked over to my sister, and took her hands.
"You will be my Luna," he told her, as I watched them, from where I was on the floor.
"I accept," Mirabel said, with a wild smile plastered on her face as I could feel my heart ache from the sight before me right now.
Mirabel has always gotten everything good, while I also received all the bad things, and right now it is happening again.
I thought tonight I was going to find solace in my mate, after all I had gone through in the hands of my parents, and all the people in the Pack, but here I was also being rejected again.
I thought it was going to end someday, but now I know better. I thought, as I slowly stood up from the floor, I couldn't stand to watch this painful scene anymore, as Mirabel was now all over my mate, making my heart ache even more.
I started running away from there, but I could hear the crowd's laughter from behind me, some of them started calling me names and saying mean words, but I just ignored them, as I was too hurt now.
I ran deep into the woods, not knowing where I was going, as my tears split over, and flowed down my face like rivers that escape a dam, as I continued running away.
I just wanted to get far away from everyone, and even my Pack, because I really couldn't stand the humiliation that would follow after the event of tonight.
The night was dark, but the moon lightened the path, making it possible for me to continue into the night, just then, I felt my body hit someone, making me fall to the ground.
"Are you okay?" I heard the most calm male voice ever, making me swallow hard, as I sat up on the floor, but tried to move away from the person.
The sweet scent of berries hit my nostrils making me feel a little uncomfortable, but my wolf growled inside of me.
"Mate," my wolf growled, as I could feel a wave of excitement ripping through her. But I was still finding it hard to believe it.
"You are my mate," I heard him say, as he moved closer to me, while I remained seated on the ground, still wondering what was happening.
Just a while ago I was rejected by Alpha Eric, who happens to be my mate, but here I was feeling the same mate bond that was just broken some moments ago again.
I thought, as I couldn't still understand what was happening at the moment, I needed to understand it.
Do I have a second chance mate? Or what was happening right now? This question popped into my head as I faced the ground, not being able to look up at him, as I couldn't see clearly, as the tears I had been crying had made my vision blurry.
