Todos os capítulos de The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

Aurora The sun had just set at its usual spot, casting a warm blue-golden glow into this shabby room I occupied in the servant quarters. I breathed in relief as an unprecedented excitement slowly slipped into my chest. It was morning again, yet another day—but only that today was different in a way. No… not because unmated maids were given the day off to prepare for the occasion and show up at the venue later, but because I was finally turning eighteen and would soon bid this life of torture goodbye in a few hours when I met my mate. I hurriedly freshened up and stood before the mirror as I tied my hair into a bun. I stared at my reflection, which was just… Full cheeks. Soft arms. A body that refused to be anything but thick, rounded, noticeable. My thighs pressed together. My waist curved in ways that were never admired here. I wasn’t the ideal image for Darkshade. Not even for anyone. Even my own family had treated me like a curse, something unfortunate, something shameful.

Aurora It’s almost noon by the time I left my quarters. The evening air breeze was warm and cozy, sending a slight chill down my spine. I stood alongside the other omegas that had assembled to welcome Alpha Lucas’s first son, Damian. Rumor had it that he had been out of the pack for almost five years. They said he was cruel, ruthless, and hardened, but also calmly good-looking. They also whispered how the two brothers were like opposite sides of a coin and never ever associated openly. I didn’t know much about the history because all my life I had been secluded from social life and hardly left the house except on errands. The rumors also had it that the chaos between the two brothers took a cruel turn four years ago, and ever since, Damian had vowed not to return home, up until now. I hadn’t gotten to see him, nor was I familiar with how he looked, other than the fact that it was compulsory for every omega to assemble and welcome the first heir of the pack. As I stood with head

Damian It had been a long afternoon of exhaustion, having to go through the final clearance at the training facilities, clearing off certain details I needed to handle myself, and doing a series of final activities before hopping on the eight-hour journey by flight and then another two hours by land. By the time I arrived at the packhouse, I was totally drained. It’s been four… or maybe five years since I left Darkshades. I haven’t fully been in transit, and even though I engaged in any, they were always short trips to handle certain personal details. But this… this was different. This was a return. To the same pack I had walked away from. To the same place that still echoed with everything that happened four years ago. And I hated it. But I had to return since it was already time to take my duties. Duty called, destiny called, pulling in my restraint, and I wouldn't have said no. But what snapped at me, so unexpected, unsettling, or whatever best described this feeling,

DamianI took my seat at the high table, where Dad and, of course, Liam were seated alongside a few of the respected members of the council who had come to honor this welcoming party and also to hear whatever announcement Dad was to make.But my mind didn’t leave the event that had taken place moments ago with that lady.‘Mate,’ Aaron corrected.I exhaled sharply, my fingers tightening around the edge of the table. The word alone irritated me in ways I couldn’t explain. Four simple letters… yet they carried a weight I refused to accept.I kept telling myself that I couldn’t trust the Moon Goddess again. At least not after everything. Not after her choices. Of course, how would I?Not after this second time. An omega to be precise.But then, why couldn’t I think above it? Why couldn’t I take her out of the folds of my mind and settle with this gathering and whatever unfolded later?Yes… I was sure I was going to proceed with the rejection. At least that way, I wouldn’t have to be enta

AuroraMy entire spine locked. My heart stuttered.My mind carved holes of its own when Liam asked me to serve him at his table. I knew one thing straight away as the air immediately left my lungs in one sharp pull.He wanted to humiliate me. He wanted to send the message straight. To remind everyone exactly where I stood. To reduce me, again, to nothing.Kiera stirred with rage in my head. She was still weak, but the realization also weighed on her. Even in her rage, there was still nothing we could do about it.We couldn’t refuse either. After all, I was his. Wagered, owned, bound to him as nothing more than a personal servant long before tonight ever happened. Long before I even realized he was my mate. Long before the rejection.I moved slowly, weakly, towards where Liam sat. Each step toward him felt heavier than the last, my body already drained just from being in his presence. The hall was massive, filled with eyes, voices, power, but none of it mattered.Despite my second cha
