🔥 Unwanted 👶 Beta's 🍑 Plump Bastard: 💕 Mated to the 👑 Alpha King “MATE!” My wolf Roxie says loudly, but I couldn’t believe it. I’ve been seen as a shame by everyone due to my chubby figure. Even though I am strong enough to fight and defend myself, I’m not exactly fitting the mold at 5’9” and 180lbs, while other she-wolves are thin and beautiful, with soft curves and still muscular. They said it was impossible that a fat she-wolf like me could have a mate, and I almost believe it. But now, an amazing scent hits my nostrils. It smells like fresh cut grass and cedar. I turn around to see who the scent belongs to, and I see Alpha Cullen. It’s the first time I have felt excited with anticipation. My fated mate! The moon goddess made Alpha Cullen my fated mate. I used to hear my half-sister Rachel say how handsome is he and that he is kind to everyone. She has pictures of him in her room. I know she daydreams all the time about him. Rachel has been vying for his attention, but she doesn’t turn 18 years old until next week. Meanwhile, I’m 23 years old, and because I’m never allowed out and my only day off is usually spent in solitude, I have never found my mate. I don’t think the pictures do him justice. He is very attractive. I stepped forward, but realized quickly, he doesn’t look as excited as I am. In fact, he looks like a mix between disgusted and angry. ‘Roxie? Are you sure he is our mate? He doesn’t look happy to see us.’ ‘Yes! He’s our mate! Go to him Rebel! I want our mate!’ she yipped. I move to walk towards him. Just as I take a step, he says, “Stop. This must be a mistake. I could never be mated to someone, like…you.” My hope and brief moment of excitement and anticipation just crash landed on rocky terrain. He isn't happy to be mated to us. He doesn’t want us. Roxie starts howling with sorrow. My eyes start to water. “Someone like me?” I ask. “Yes, I mean, look at you. No Alpha wants a Luna that looks like you to be their mate. You don’t look refined, your clothes are old, not to mention you are not attractive. Maybe if you lost weight, then you could be passable. The moon goddess made a mistake. There is no way I can accept you as my mate. What is your name?” He sneers. “Rebel Lawson” I reply. I know the rejection is coming. I’ve heard rejection is rare but painful. With my lips trembling and tears that sting my eyes, I brace for the impact that is coming. “Let’s get this over with, I have things to do. Just so you understand, I need a strong and BEAUTIFUL Luna by my side. I, Alpha Cullen Niles, of the Ironclaw Pack, reject you, Rebel Lawson, as my mate and Luna.” Instantly, my chest feels like it is ripped open and gutted. The pain is the worst I’ve ever felt. But I refuse to show pain in front of Alpha Cullen. “I, Rebel Lawson, accept your rejection.” It is like a final death blow. I see Alpha Cullen grab his chest, taking deep breaths. Then after a couple of minutes he stood straight up. I still haven’t moved. Bearing all the pain until Roxie and I can be alone. “You will not mention this to anyone, do you understand?” As much pain as I was in, I couldn’t muster up the strength to say yes, so I just nodded. “Good, I can’t have people knowing I was mated to such a she-wolf.” With that, he turned and walked away. I turned and went back to the lake, sat down next to my guitar and then the barriers crumbled. Fated mates were supposed to love each other, no matter what. He was supposed to protect, cherish and love me. However, I never felt more unwanted and alone. ###14324749### Chapter 2: Not Again Alpha Austin POV God! That Alpha Cullen is really bothering me lately. This is the third time this month that greedy wolf has attacked my pack, trying to get our gem mines. I give him credit for trying, but I’m too mean to let anyone try to take what’s mine, and believe me, Blackstone Pack and everything in it, is mine. “Renz, have the patrols secured the borders?” I mind-link my Beta. Lorenzo is my beta but also my best friend since childhood. “Yeah Alpha. Borders are secured. The patrols said that Alpha Cullen came in charging with 40 of his warriors. With only 3 guards are patrol, some of the territory's fences were damaged. I’m getting orders in for the materials to rebuild now, and it should be here in the morning.” With so many attacks by that Cullen this month, a lot of repairs must be made. It’s a good thing that my pack is one of the wealthiest in the southwestern region. It’s also the reason why that prick wants my gem mines. “Keep me updated. ” I told him. “Sure Alpha. By the way, are you still going out with Ceraline tonight?” “What are you talking about?” I can’t stand Ceraline. That she-wolf has been vying for the Luna position for the last 5 years. I’m not in the least bit interested in her. She’s not my fated mate. Don’t get me wrong. At 30 years old, I’ve been searching for my mate since becoming Alpha 12 years ago, but even a man has needs. I’ve had women that were a form of release for me, but I never have been with the same woman twice. I enjoyed their company for an hour or so and then we both go our own separate ways, neither party wanting anything more than a good time without commitment. I always use protection too. I’ll be doomed if a woman tries to force me into a mate bond or claim I’m the baby’s daddy. I try to be the southern gentleman my mama raised me to be, but seriously, I wouldn’t touch Ceraline. She is just bad news all the way around. The only reason I keep her around is because I told my late father’s Beta, when he was on his deathbed, that I would look out for his daughter. Somehow, she morphed “looking out for his daughter” into “making his daughter my Luna”. That’s NEVER going to happen. The only woman that will be my Luna is my fated mate. “Well, she was saying that you and she were going on a date tonight to see a show. She is saying you arranged everything. Are you trying to give her a private show Alpha?” as my beta tries to keep a straight face. “Does my fist need to visit your face Renz? I haven’t, nor will I, plan anything with her. I really need to figure out what I can do about her to keep her busy and away from me, before I kill her. She is annoying.” “Sounds like she wants to play ‘pin the she-wolf on the Alpha’.” Renz smirked as he walked up to me. “Should I ask one of the omegas to get your suit out?” “Do you want to run patrols for the next week? I’m sure Lacy would love to have the floor to herself while I run you ragged.” I said giving him a menacing grin. “So no to the omega pressing your suit then. Got it. Now, if you will excuse me, I have a beautiful mate waiting and begging to be teased by her loving mate.” He laughed. While I smirked at him. "Get out of here Renz. Say hi to Lacy for me." I turn to go to the pack house behind Renz who took off jogging ahead. I sigh and keep a steady pace. While I’m happy for Renz that he found his mate early on, I can’t help but feel a little envious. He has someone waiting for him at night and I go to my floor to an empty suite. My Gamma also found his mate early. They are both on their respective floors with their mates. I can’t help but feel a pang in my chest at the loneliness I feel each night. Sometimes I don’t even stay in my suite. I leave and go hunting just so I don’t feel alone in that big bed. As I enter the pack house, I hear the equivalent of nails clawing down a chalkboard. Not again. Ms. Annoying is approaching. She saunters over to me with her shapeless and bony figure. Seriously, does she ever eat? She thinks she is looking seductive, but in actuality, she looks like a scrawny teenage boy. “Hello Alpha”, she purrs. Trying and pathetically failing to get me to flirt with her. “I thought we could go out tonight. You and me, dinner?” She came close to me, trying to swing her non-existent hips. “Ceraline” I sighed. “I don’t know how many times I need to say this, but we won’t be doing anything together. I just finished fighting with that Cullen. I need to clean up and I’m exhausted. I will be going to bed. If you want to go out, then have a good time by yourself.” I finish as I turn and walk away. “I could join you and help you clean up Alpha.” She calls behind me, with her voice husky. For god's sake, she clearly isn’t getting the message. “Ceraline, whatever this is…it is NOT happening. I have said this enough times, I have zero interest in you. I am not playing hard to get. I don’t have a secret crush on you. I’m definitely not sending mixed signals. Have a good evening.” I said curtly and walked off. I could feel a little bad for being harsh, but there is only so many times I can say the same things and so much I will put up with tonight. I finally get back to my suite and make my way to the on-suite bathroom. I strip and get in the shower. I turn on the water and let the cold water hit me while the hot water comes through. As I start cleaning my body with soap and water, I start thinking about where my fated mate could be and what she looks like. I certainly hope she is curvy. I love a lush woman. I’m a big man at 6’5” and 280lbs of muscle. I might snap a small woman in half. I’d much rather prefer a woman with meat on her bones. I might be a wolf, but the bone is for the wolf, while the meat is for the man. In terms of her personality. I really would love for her to have her own interests. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to share in all of her interests, but it would be nice if she isn’t dependent on me to make her days interesting. I would like to come home, and we both share our days with things that were exciting for both of us. I hope my mate is comfortable around me, enough to truly be herself. Plus, I wouldn’t mind if she had some sass. I think a Luna could be assertive and soft at the same time and still know when to lean into her attitude. I sigh and close my eyes, letting the water rinse away the dirt, grime and soap. I turn off the water, dry off and go to my walk-in closet. I’ve always kept one half open for my fated mate. I have the omegas make sure it stays clean and dust free. Waiting for the day that I bring her home. I climb into my large bed, by myself, again. I look over to the empty space beside me. A pang in my chest hits once again, as I wonder if I will ever meet my mate. Closing my eyes, while I go into another night with a restless sleep. ###14324754### Chapter 3: Dinner with who? 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. The thought of the rejection and the very real possibility of not having a mate has been depressing me. I don’t feel the same anymore. That day broke me. Every good or normal thing I’ve had in my life has always been taken from me. It shouldn’t have been a surprise that my mate didn’t want me either. With women like my sister or all the pretty she-wolves in the pack, well, I assume they are all prettier than me, who would want a frumpy and chubby she-wolf as a mate? I push the thoughts aside and make my way downstairs. As soon as I come down, my stepmother looks at me with a sense of urgency on her face and a big smile. Something must have happened. “Rebel! Good thing you’re here, I was about to start hunting you down.” she sneers at me and looks at me like she has something sour in her mouth. I sigh, “What do you need Jules?” “Alpha Cullen has decided to take a chosen mate. He wants to have dinners with women he finds worthy of being his Luna! He will be here tonight for Rachel!” I suddenly feel lightheaded, and the room starts spinning around me. “Alpha Cullen, here, tonight?” A chosen mate? As if my heart couldn’t break any further, my fated mate, the one who rejected me, is coming here to have dinner with my father and stepmother, for Rachel. Not me. I didn’t think salt could be so deeply rubbed into my wounds right now, but apparently, it can. Does the moon goddess take pleasure in hurting me? Without realizing it, my stepmother is in my face, “You must leave. I don’t need you staining our family with your presence. Go out the back door and don’t come back until midnight to give Alpha Cullen enough time to enjoy Rachel’s company and leave.” Just then Rachel, my half-sister, walks in. Having heard the last thing Jules said to me, she starts laughing. “If it were up to me, you would be gone indefinitely. Alpha Cullen will fall madly in love with me. When he makes me his Luna, I will be sure you are banished from the pack. I can’t have you staining my reputation. The fat dirty blood of the pack’s beta.” Being called fat doesn’t hurt nearly as much as being called dirty blood. Even though it stung, I kept my face neutral. My eyes may have lost some of its light in recent months, but I won't let her see my hurt. “He isn’t patient enough to wait for his fated mate, so instead he will settle for a chosen mate. Does that make you feel cherished?” I couldn’t help it. He did wait but didn’t cherish me, and now he is settling for someone else because of looks. Rachel face almost contorts with anger. Actually, it looks funny. I wasn’t aware her face could twist so unnaturally. “At least I will be mated and marked. Even if not by Alpha Cullen, then by someone of rank. How do you compare Rebel? You are a fat illegitimate child. Not even your own family wants to recognize you and only sees you as a stain on our reputation. You will always be what you are, a servant in your father’s home, and a servant to me no less!” “ENOUGH!” My father enters the room. He seems upset about the scene unfolding. I think he is going to say something to Rachel about calling me a servant, but of course, I was wrong. “REBEL! FOR ONCE CAN YOU STOP ESCALATING THINGS WITH YOUR SISTER!” he roars at me. I look at him dumbstruck. I’m defending myself from the insults being hurled at me and he is coming to her aid. “Alpha Cullen is coming here tonight to meet with us and get to know Rachel. This is a huge opportunity not just for Rachel but our family. Could you please just leave?” “You mean your family. Clearly, I’ve never been wanted here. Not even by my own father.” I said calmly. I turn on my heel and walk to the kitchen before the tears I’ve been holding back come down and before they continue their verbal assault on me. ###14324757### Chapter 4: It’s cold out here Rebel POV As I’m walking through the forest and far away from the house, I start thinking about things I could have done differently, but honestly, the odds have been stacked against me since birth. When my father took me in and found his fated mate, there was never a situation where things would have turned out differently for me. I’m resolved about my life. I only hope that Alpha Cullen chooses someone other than Rachel to be his Luna. That way, she can’t banish me from the pack. I don’t have anywhere else to go and I don’t think I would survive as a rogue. Roxie had run for about an hour, and still had energy. I tried let go enough to enjoy the moment and not thinking about the future or what would happen to me. It was a moment of bliss. Bliss that was too short lived. Roxie came to a dead stop and I was brought back to reality. ‘Roxie! What happened? What’s wrong? Did we stray too far from the pack land borders?’ Then it hit me. My nostrils flared as the scent of salted citrus and driftwood filled my senses. OH, NO! Roxie whimpered, lowered her head and her ears pushed back in fear. She said the least expected thing I ever thought I would hear her say again in our lifetime. ‘Mate.” She whispered. Panicked, I urge Roxie, ‘Let’s get out of here! We are not strong enough to handle a second rejection!’ Roxie pivots to take off in the opposite direction when we hear him. “MATE! STOP WHERE YOU ARE!” God, that sexy voice is an Alpha voice. Why me? Why another Alpha? This is going to be painful. I already know it and there is nothing I can do. “Please don’t go. I may be a feared Alpha, but not to you. Never you.” His words were sincere. But then again, he hasn’t actually seen me yet. I’m still in wolf form and Roxie is a beautiful wolf. Her fur is much like my hair, black with auburn undertones and she has my eyes, beautiful emerald green. He may think I’m something special now, but it won’t last. Both Roxie and I both know it. We huff lightly. ‘Let’s just get this over with Roxie. Maybe we can ask him to hold off until after we eat, so we at least have some strength.’ Roxie remains quiet. She’s definitely nervous and so am I. I pull a shift with my back still turned to my mate. I thought I heard him suck in a breath. I guess he thinks my backside is disgusting too. My shoulders slump and I lower my head, even though I’m not facing him. I say barely above a whisper, “If you don’t mind, I would like to put some clothes on before we speak.” “Of course mate. I’m not going anywhere.” Does he sound excited? It’s almost like I can hear him smile as he speaks. Well, I’m sure it will be short lived. I finish putting my clothes back on and put my backpack on my shoulder. I take a deep breath and before I step out I tell Roxie, ‘It’s okay Roxie, we can handle this. We are going to be fine.’ Bracing myself, I square my shoulders and step around the tree and face my new mate. When I see him, my eyes widen. My goddess, he is the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen. I didn’t realize a man could look that good. He is all broad shoulders, muscles, and charisma. His hair is a little lighter than chestnut brown and his eyes are the most crystal blue I have ever seen. His skin is a light caramel tan. Much more attractive than Alpha Cullen. You can tell he works outside a lot. He has that rugged, working man look about him that is seriously sexy. I don’t know who this Alpha is, but goddess, my core is clenching at the thought of exploring the body of the man standing before me. ‘That’s not the only thing that’s making us hot and bothered.’ Roxie surprisingly says as she forces my line of sight to his very obvious bulge in his shorts. Apparently, seeing our mate is making her sass come back and it’s making me feel relief. ‘Don’t get too happy Rox, a man this handsome is likely to reject us. Let’s get this over with, okay?’ Roxie whimpers in my mind, because she knows what’s coming. My mate, is looking at me intently. It almost feels indecent the way he keeps looking at me. It’s making me really self-conscious. I instinctively wrap my arms around myself and look down. “Would you mind waiting a few minutes for me to get some food in my system? My wolf has been running for well over an hour and she burns off energy faster than most wolves. We would just like to gain some strength before you reject us.” “Reject you? Why the hell would I do that mate?” He looks at me like I’ve grown two heads. “I know I’m not Luna material or beautiful. You don’t have to pretend Alpha.” I look down again. I can’t stand to look at this incredibly handsome man, knowing he will not want me. Carefully, he steps closer to me lifting my gaze to meet his with his finger. I feel little jolts of electricity go straight to my core before he speaks, “First, I don’t know why you think you are not beautiful or who made you believe that you are not beautiful, when you are gorgeous. You’re the most the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life darling. Second, you are MY mate. That makes you MY Luna. No one will dare challenge this fact or they forfeit their life.” One, oh my goddess his southern draw! That has to be the sexiest voice I’ve ever heard. Two, I look at his eyes and I don’t see any lies coming from them. He seems to be sincere. ‘Roxie, what do you think?’ She’s great at sniffing out lies, it’s a gift the moon goddess gave her, so I want her opinion on what she thinks too. ‘He’s telling the truth Rebel. Not to mention his southern accent is hot and do you see his body? Yummy!’ I inwardly roll my eyes. She has always been a flirtatious wolf. ‘Focus Rox!’ I tell her exasperated. ‘Oh, believe me, I’m focused!’ She salivates and wiggles her eyebrows. I shake my head and turn my attention back to my mate. “So Alpha, what are you doing all the way over here in Ironclaw?” He raises an eyebrow at me, god that’s a sexy look, “Darling, you are in Blackstone pack.” “We are in Blackstone Pack?” I say thinking once again, my wonderful wolf has run too far again. Then the realization hits me. “Wait. You said you are the Alpha. We are in Blackstone. You are the Alpha? As in Alpha Austin?” I say my voice climbing a little higher with each question. My eyes widen and I start to panic. ‘Roxie! This is the meanest and cruelest Alpha of the southwestern region! He’s our mate?!’ Roxie rolls over in my mind practically purring, it didn’t take long for her to shake the fear. ‘Yes Rebel, and HE wants US. How blessed are we?’ she is almost purring the minx. Amused, my mate smirks at me, “Where did you think you were little mate?” “Clearly, not Blackstone but my pack, Ironclaw.” I said. Instantly, his expression hardened. “You are from Ironclaw? Your Alpha is Alpha Cullen?” Why does that matter? “Yes, he is my Alpha, among other things, unfortunately.” Trying not to feel bitter about the rejection. Alpha Austin is way better looking than Alpha Cullen. So far, he hasn’t treated me badly at the sight of me either, so Alpha Cullen can kick rocks. “What’s your name darling?” He asks me like if he is trying to decide something. “Rebel Lawson, did you change your mind about rejecting me because I’m from Ironclaw?” I ask. He says he wants me, so I don’t think he will reject me. Though when Alpha Cullen asked me for my name, it was to do precisely that, so maybe my mate is planning to do the same now. “You seem like you have decided I am going to reject you any moment now. Why is that Rebel? What happened to you?” He asks as if he is catching on to the fact that I’m skeptical about him. I sigh. I might as well rip the band aid. The sooner it’s known, the sooner he will feel the relief of not being the only one to have rejected me. “You are not mate first mate. I met my mate two months ago, and as soon as he saw me, he rejected me.” I saw his eyes darken. He was clearly upset. Who knows why? He wanted to know what happened to me. Now he knows and he’s upset with me? “First, I’m glad he rejected you Rebel. Because now you are mine, and I’m not only happy, but I’m ecstatic you’re mine. Second, whoever your first mate was, he was a idiot not to see how perfect you are. Either way, it’s his loss and my gain sweetheart. Was he part of Ironclaw?” I stare at him, completely shocked. ‘Rebel, I told you, HE wants US. I can’t wait to meet his wolf. I bet he is as sexy as Austin.’ She’s purring in my mind with doe eyes, looking at our mate. Yeah, she’s a total minx and is already decidedly in love with this man. Apparently, she doesn’t waste time. He says he’s ecstatic I’m his. That’s never a word I thought someone would use to describe being with me. Not when everything ever said to me in my life was the complete opposite. “Yes, he is part of Ironclaw. Actually, he was the one who said I wasn’t Luna material.” He looked down, shaking his head with his hands positioned sexily on his hips. With a smirk on his face, he asks, “Why would he tell you that you aren’t Luna material? Was your mate Alpha Cullen?” He chuckles. I look down at the ground and in a very low voice I replied, “Yes.” I looked up slowly and saw rage rolling off of Alpha Austin’s aura. “Did that moron hurt you?”
