6. Rejected
I was taken aback when I saw Edward's image growing on the moon. My eyes wet, so what I felt this time was that I did have a mate, and what I felt towards Edward was not just infatuation, but the Mate Bond at work.
I surveyed the throng for Edward; I'm sure he's observed this as well, so why isn't he approaching? Shouldn't he have been the first to notice the occurrence and rush over to me? I'm not sure where he is now.
My heart was pounding with tremendous anguish. I had no idea what that was, but when my sight was drawn to Edward, I noticed him licking a brown wolf that belonged to someone I knew.
They swiftly returned to their human forms and stood up, covering themselves. Edward's glance touched mine for a brief moment, but he quickly returned his sight to Charlotte, who stood alongside him.
It crushed my heart to see the love he had for Charlotte in his eyes. He acted as if she were his distended Mate, not me.
