The Alpha's Plus-Sized Mate

Vivian's POV "Get out of my way, fattie!" Chloe snapped at me, struggling to shove me aside with her tiny, petite body. I pressed my lips together, not replying before getting out of her way. My mother rushed across the living room to us, glaring at me before adjusting Chloe's hair and makeup. "Don't get worked up because of your sister. Your hair and makeup have to be perfect for today." Chloe's annoyed expression quickly changed into one of confident joy. "Once the alphas see how beautiful I am at the mating ceremony tonight, I'm certain to get a mate!" Her words made my mother smile even wider, gesturing for her to move to the dining table. It already had dinner set out. Three plates with food on them. Three. In a family of four. The bitterness sat heavy on my tongue, but I was used to this by now. With a sigh, I walked into the kitchen, picking up a plate and serving myself a small portion of rice and stew.

Vivian's POV My heart raced as I joined the others, wincing when my gaze locked with Chloe's glare.

The only choice. "Relax your minds. Let the bonds fully forge. Tonight, may the moon goddess bless you all with your other halves!" the priest announced. Almost immediately, those who had stepped out began to shift, matching in pairs. They all looked confused, but this was something I'd witnessed many times. For three years. And now, the same empty feeling sat heavy in my c

Vivian's POV Tears streaked down my face uncontrollably, my body falling apart with each step forward.The pain from the broken bond raked through my body, sucking out what little strength I had left.I knew I'd collapse if I took the regular route home.The shortcut was just through the woods and turned straight to our house.My mind didn't consider the risks before steering the rest of me towards that direction.The streets were mostly empty besides the occasional beta shooting my body disgusted glares.I wrapped my arms tighter around my body as I walked past a small pub with three alphas sitting in front.They were all heavily drunk and whistled at me as I walked by."Damn, that pig must be wild in bed." One said, laughing right after.Even from afar his breath hung heavy in the air, along with the insult.I blocked out the rest of their conversation, walking off without looking back or listening to their taunts.Those words had been said to me so many times, but it still stung l
