Big and Bullied: The Rejected Mate

Chapter 8: Embracing Herself

As Penelope kept pushing herself in training and stood up to other pack members who were mean to her, she started to feel more confident and in charge of her life. In other words, she grew more self-sufficient. Her outward appearance or how her body presented itself no longer bothered her.

These two things no longer bothered her. She didn't give a damn about how she looked. She realized that, despite her outward appearance, she was beautiful and that her worth had nothing to do with her physical characteristics in any way, shape, or form.

She happened to overhear a pack of young wolves giggling and chatting amongst themselves one day as she walked through the forest. She had overheard this conversation. As she got closer, she realized they were making fun of her again, and she was furious. She found it offensive that they were doing so.

However, things were significantly different the second time around from how they were the first time around. When Penelope recalled the incident, she was not as anxious or embarrassed as she had been. She'd gotten used to the situation. On the other hand, she was acutely aware of a rising tide of rage and defiance within her. She was adamant about not giving in.

As she walked up to the group of puppies, she kept her back straight and looked directly into the eyes of each one. She asked me, "What are you laughing at?" firmly. She spoke in an authoritative and unyielding tone to the person who was listening to her.

The young wolves were taken aback by her confidence as they stared at her with surprised expressions. They seemed taken aback by her confidence. One mumbled something akin to "Uh, nothing," then averted their gaze in the opposite direction.

Do you think making fun of someone else's appearance is funny? Describe your ideas. Please express your thoughts. Please share your thoughts. Penelope said something as she raised her voice and became more audible to everyone around her.

"Allow me to begin by saying that I am very proud of the person I have become throughout my life, and I would like your permission to say that I am very proud of you."

"I am strong and can overcome any challenge; I will not allow anyone to bring me to my knees by enabling them to do so."

The young wolves exchanged puzzled glances, unable to decide what to do or say. They just stood there looking at each other. They sought one another's guidance and advice. Penelope was overcome with a sense of triumph and self-reliance after the incident, and she turned around and walked away from the scene.

Penelope then made a concerted effort to begin loving and accepting herself precisely as she was. She accomplished this by concentrating on her strengths. She wore whatever she wanted, ate, and did whatever she wanted. She was entirely in charge of her life.

She had complete control over the creative direction of her life. She had complete control over her life's imaginative path from that point forward. She was free of all constraints of any kind. She'd gotten to the point where she didn't care what other people thought of her and finally arrived at it. She couldn't give a damn about anything.

She was acutely aware that the only person who could assess her worth was herself and that she was the only one who could do so. She was the only one capable of doing so.

The pack perceives Penelope differently than they had initially imagined her. As a result, the pack's interactions with Penelope are altered due to this perception shift. They admired her confidence and toughness, and they looked up to her as a role model whose actions they should strive to emulate. Her tenacity was another quality they admired in her.

They admired her tenacity, which was another of her admirable characteristics. Penelope had grown into a true leader throughout her life, one who could inspire others to accept who they were and use their actions to advocate for the causes in which they believed. Penelope was able to accomplish this because she took herself.

On the other hand, Aiden had become a more mature and well-rounded individual as a direct result of the events that had occurred in his life, in addition to broadening the scope of his worldview. As he observed Penelope's growth and advancement, he became aware of the need for him to change, similar to those she had gone through.

These changes would be similar to those he had witnessed in Penelope. These changes included increasing self-awareness and becoming more open to new experiences. He made a point of apologizing and assuring her that he would treat her with the love and respect she deserved in the future.

He expressed his regret to her for how he had previously treated her. They were always there to support one another and worked as a team to overcome obstacles during their endeavors.

Penelope had finally accepted that she had discovered the one true love she had been looking for within herself. This dawning realization had been a long time coming. And with that love came the ability to overcome any obstacle thrown in one's path.
