Rejected By One Alpha, Claimed By Another

"I, Quinn Jacobs hereby reject you Genevieve Portman as my mate" My now ex mate announced in front of practically the whole pack. My eyes welled with tears as he stared at me waiting to hear my acceptance. "But Quinn…" "just accept it Genny, I'll never love you or accept you so just accept the rejection" Quinn snapped sharply. I bit my lower lips to control the tears that were threatening to spill and took a deep breath to calm myself. "I.i.i G-g-genevieve Portman a-accept your rejection," I stuttered. Immediately, I was hit with a sharp pain all over my body. I fell to the ground and the tears I had been fighting back rolled freely down my cheeks. I groaned in pain as the pain gripped me from the insides. I managed to tilt my head up to look at Quinn. He seemed fine, like the rejection didn't affect him at all. I let out a quiet whimper as I felt the pain hit my thighs. Since I was a weak omega, I was more affected by the rejection than Quinn. The rejection probably just felt like a pinch to him while I felt like I was going through all the phases of death. When the pain finally stopped, I let out a sigh of relief and dragged myself off the ground to face the mocking looks from the people around me. I turned to Quinn, who still had an unfazed expression on his face. "Are you done wiggling and whimpering?" he asked, and the people around burst into muffled laughter and chuckles. "What now?" I asked, ignoring his previous statement. "Now, you leave me alone and pretend like this never happened" he replied and walked past me to rejoin his friends. I remained frozen at that spot for a long time unable to comprehend what had just happened to me. I was just rejected by my mate. I stared down at my feet to see an orange lying next to it, then it hit me. I was supposed to buy fruits for Helen. Helen was my stepmother. I had dropped my basket of fruits when I sensed my mate and now they were all covered with dirt and dust. I quickly bent down and picked the ones that were still good, placing them back in the basket. "Poor thing, she is going to spend the rest of her life alone now" I heard a passerby say, "maybe she'll get a second chance mate" "oh please, that only happens to beautiful people, not scrawny ugly ones" I turn to look at the person that said the last statement and to no one's surprise, it was Natalie, my step sister. "And I hope you're not planning to feed that to us" she said pointing at the bruised fruits in the basket. "I don't have money to get another" I mumbled and got up with the basket. "Of course you don't, you've refused to get a job" Natalie snapped. That was a lie, her mum, Helen wouldn't let me work anywhere else but her store and she refuses to pay me. "You know that's not true" I mumbled and made to leave but Natalie being her immature self just wouldn't let me go. " You seriously want to take that home?" She snapped, by now the crowd which had previously dispersed began to form around us again. "Just let me go Nat" I pleaded in a whisper, I couldn't take anymore embarrassment in the market. I tried to walk past her but she said in front of me with a sly smirk on her face. "Go then" she said and pretended to make way for me but the moment I tried to walk past her she tripped me with her foot. I landed face first on the muddy floor and the few fruit I had managed to gather in my basket was once again sent flying all around the market floor. I picked myself up and turned to face Nat who was laughing like a maniac. "Are you happy now?" I asked almost tearfully,I was already having a bad day but she somehow managed to make it worse. "Not yet" she replied and pushed me causing me to fall and bruise my elbow in the process. I stared at the wound and back at Nat wondering why she was doing all that to me, and why did it have to be in public on my birthday. "Come on, heal yourself. You're eighteen now so you should be stronger" she said in a mocking voice. I tried to quickly self-heal like a normal werewolf but couldn't, I was too weak too. No wonder Quinn rejected me, why would he want to be with a weak omega like me. "Aww! Don't tell me you still can't self heal, what a pity" she said and walked away while laughing. One would expect that in a busy market, at least one person would come to help me but nope, all I got were not so discreet snickering and giggling. They were all just the same. I picked the empty basket leaving the fruits and ran out of the market in shame only to run into two tall figures, they were Alpha Carter and Beta Reed. What were they doing here? "Sorry" I mumbled and ran past them. "What's wrong with her?" I heard Alpha Carter ask, heightened sense of hearing were the only abilities that I had. "I think she got rejected by her mate" Beta Reed replied making me wonder how he knew. I arrived home and was ambushed by an angry Helen who didn't care to listen to why I came empty handed. After getting hit a couple of times, I retreated to my room and stayed there till it was time to prepare dinner. . . . . It had just been three days since I was rejected by Quinn, when Helen came to me with a bomb, "Natalie and Quinn are getting engaged" she announced
