A One Night Stand And A Rejection

**Audrey's POV***

 I sat up straight on the bed with my eyes wide open, only to realize that I was lying in a strange bed. What the hell is happening? 

I shut my eyes and tried to recall what happened, and then some bits of memory came flooding. 

I remember I was having a drink alone when someone walked over to the bar. Damn it! I remember him. Furthermore, I recalled that I had a good conversation with him that night and I discussed my dead parents, but that's just about all that I could remember. 

Why can't I remember what happened beyond there? 

I slowly looked at the bed I was laying on and discovered that it was the fanciest bed I had ever laid on.  

Just then, I noticed the bed cover around me. How did I get coveted with a bed cover? I slowly pulled down the bed cover off my body, only to notice that I was stark naked. 

“Argh!” I screamed out in fright. What the hell happened last night? Just then a hazy memory of someone on top of me came into my head and I recalled moaning in pleasure. 

I gasped in shock and quickly covered my mouth with my palm. This can't be happening. At the same time, my eyes sighted my clothes on the floor. 

“No, no, no. It can't be.”

I can't believe I just had sex with someone I barely ever knew. How loose did I get? How did my frustration lead me into having a one-night stand with a stranger? 

While I sobered at my mistake, the door to my room immediately flew open and a man walked in. 

It was him, the guy I saw last night, the same man I had slept with. But something happened. For some reason, my wolf purred seeing him. 

“Mate!” She called. 

I blinked at that moment. This must be a dream. H…he's my mate?”

He stood in front of me, wearing a dark gray suit with his dark hair perfectly styled, giving him a sexy look. Judging from my faint memory of hon, he has a sexy body with enough muscles on a smooth milky skin. 

At that moment, my cheeks heated up, and I nervously looked downwards. I didn't want him to see just how much I was blushing like hell. Just then, he cleared his throat. 

“Listen, I, Alpha Storm Reid from the Silver Crescent pack, reject you, Audrey Baker, as my mate from now henceforth to eternity.”

Immediately, I felt my chest tighten painfully. 

“No! Why?” I asked, as I struggled to get out of the bed but couldn't. 

“What were you expecting? That I would make you my Luna?”

I shook my head with tears in my eyes. How could this happen to me? 

“This is unfair. First you took my innocence and you rejected me when morning came. How could you be so cruel to me after what I told you last night?”

He didn't even flinch when he saw me cry. It seemed as though he hated me from the very beginning. 

“I know your story, and I feel sorry for you. For this reason, I'll offer you 300 million dollars. This should be enough to settle you for life. Leave to a faraway place where no one knows you. Remember, you must not appear in front of me, no matter what happens. Have I made myself clear?”

“How could you? How could you be this cruel to me? What did I ever do to you?” I repeated. What he said made no sense to me. 

“You didn't do anything wrong, but I cannot have a weakling for a Luna. I'm the Alpha of Silver Crescent pack, and I'm sure you know just how powerful the pack is. Do you think you are worthy of becoming my mate?”

I blinked back the tears in my eyes. Could it have gotten any worse? I'm rejected simply because I'm an omega, and he sees me as a weakling. 

“Goodbye, and never forget to show your face in front of me again,” with that he placed a check on the table next to the bed and walked out of the room without taking a glance back at me. 

The moment the door was shut, I burst into bitter cries and the pain in my heart got worse. 

I laid back on the bed in tears. This is so unfair to me. I got rejected the moment I realized I had a mate. Wasn't this my doom? Maybe I was never meant to be happy.

Two days passed, and I was locked up in my room. I didn't feel the need to go out because I was in so much pain. 

“Sister, please open up. It's two days already, are you planning to kill yourself?”

Daniel asked. He's been coming to my room door every hour to check on me. 

I couldn't face him. I had failed him as a big sister. I'm out of a job, had a one-night stand with a stranger who happened to be my mate, and now, I'm rejected. 

How do I explain to my baby brother all that I've been through? I had sold practically everything of value in the house, just to make ends meet. The only thing left was the red pendant, which my mom says could reverse time. Maybe I should use it and reverse the time I spent with my mate. 

But come to think of it, what good will that do? Rather, I might get hurt even more since there's an adverse effect for reversing what happened. 

The misfortune I've had is enough, I just don't want to add more to it. I forgot the idea of the pendant, but then, another thought came into my head. Rather than sitting out here and sulking for days, why not go out there to seek employment. If I really want to continue being that big sister, then I must do the things only big sisters can do. 

I quickly rushed to the bathroom and washed my face before going out of the room. This way, my brother wouldn't see me sad. 

“Sister, finally you came out. I was so worried about you,” he whined with a sad expression. 

“I apologize for these past days, brother. It's just -”

“You don't need to say. I know ever since our parents died you've been trying your hardest to take care of me. I don't blame you for it, rather I'm glad to have a sister like you. I'm proud of you, sister,” Daniel said, and immediately came over and hugged me tightly. This made me burst into tears. I hope I can make it against all odds. 

“Sister, lest I forget, once I'm eighteen, Andrew promised to make me his beta.”

“Really?” I asked, wide-eyed.
