Omega to Luna

My name is Zaraphine Knight. Zara for short, I am the daughter of Alpha Jasper Knight and Luna Esther Knight of the Blue Moon pack. You would think being the daughter of the Alpha would have its perks but it doesn't if you ask me. I am the middle child and nobody pays attention to me unless I'm getting yelled at or beat by my pack mates.

My father died when I was only a pup of three years old. My mother tells us it was a rogue attack. My older sister Hazel Knight left the pack on her eighteenth birthday. Hazel was supposed to take over as Alpha since my brother Lyle Knight is too young. Hazel had different plans, she never liked pack life. She preferred to be by herself and I understood why.

My brother is my half brother. After my father passed, my mother started sleeping around with anyone that didn't have a mate. But with Lyle being my mothers he can take the throne as the heir. My mother was standing in place as the alpha until one of us took over the pack or challenged her for the title.

I was just an omega and didn't get much training so I knew I couldn't win, my sister left the pack and became a rogue and my brother is too young, therefore my mother continued as Alpha.

Today was my eighteenth birthday. It's a very exciting day for a wolf. Your wolf can recognize its mate. (Most of the time) In my case, this won't happen since I still haven't shifted. Nobody in my pack knew except for my mother and my younger brother. I was the family disgrace which is why I am the pack's only omega.

But let me explain something first. My father Alpha Jasper Knight was a kind Alpha. He thought of everyone as his equal no matter what your official tank was. But that all changed the day he passed fifteen years ago. When my mother Luna Esther Knight stepped up as Alpha I was made the pack slave. My job is to cook and clean and do whatever the pack members want me to.

Some days were easier than others but today was another bad day. I had to set up for my birthday party and my mother will bring me in front of the entire pack to show them my wolf. She knows I cannot shift but she also knows, when she can officially prove that I am an abomination she can banish me from the pack making me a rogue.

I graduated from high school a year early that way, once I turned eighteen I could leave and not have to worry about coming back. I was abused by my mother and packmates since my father passed and I couldn't do anything about it. I was covered in scars, littered with bruises and my clothes were filled with holes.

I rush downstairs still dressed in my night clothes at 5 am. I start making the pack breakfast which consists of eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, pancakes, and fruit. It takes me a while to finish due to how much I have to make since everyone in the pack comes for breakfast. I finally finish around 7:25 am, leaving me only 5 minutes to get dressed for the day.

As I run back to my small attic that is considered my bedroom, I bump into someones hard chest falling right back on my butt. "Watch where you're going bitch!! I wouldn't wanna make an example out of you again today, now would I?" Ahh there he is. My loving half brother Lyle Knight. "Sorry, sir. " I say just above a whisper as I run past him.

When I reach my room I let out a small breath I didn't know I was holding. Just yesterday Lyle didn't like the way I had my hair so he beat me until you couldn't recognize me. Covered in blood as new cuts and bruises littered my body. I was used to it by now but it still hurt. I tried not to cry when my packmates would hit me but it didn't always work the way I planned. If I cried, it would continue until I passed out.

I grab the only picture of my father I have and cry. "Daddy, why did you leave me? You and mommy loved us. Sissy wouldn't have left and we could still be a family, a pack... maybe I'll meet my mate today daddy. Is he gonna be as nice as you were? I don't know daddy, if he's not here I'll have to leave our home. Mommy's gonna kick me out I just know it." I sobbed. Setting the picture down I look at my old bed and see something I never expected to see in my room.

A beautiful white short strapless dress with a black belt around the center. The bottom was like a tutu and ruffled out while the top had a slight heart shape to it. A small note was laying on top of it. I slowly pick it up and read it. 'Dear little Zara, I know today is your birthday. I would like you to wear this dress for your party. You will look ravishing my darling.' Who could it be? Is it someone in the packhouse? I don't think my mom would give me anything and I don't have any other friends or family in this pack other than my mother's beloved son.

This is it. It's time to go downstairs. I packed everything in my room into six boxes. I'm ready to leave the pack. I take one last look in the mirror in my bathroom and smile. I smiled. I can't believe I look like a normal pack member. I used my sister's old makeup that she left behind along with an old curling iron I found in the garbage. I did a simple white shimmer with a black smokey eye and a slight curl to go with it.

UNKNOWN POV

Why hasn't she come down yet? Maybe the dress didn't fit. "Shit! Maybe I should go check on her." "NO! You know she has to come to you. It's the only way boss." My best friend exclaimed. I stood outside the packhouse looking through the window. "It's getting harder to sneak in boss. Maybe Esther knows about you." "How would she know Leo? She can't know unless she's working with a witch." I explained. "Shh! I think she's coming." Leo whisper yelled. I froze. I can't believe I'm gonna see her wolf. I don't know how she's been able to hide from me every time she shifts. I stay right outside the border so I can keep an eye on her. "She's gonna make an amazing Luna, Leo."

ZARAPHINES POV

Coming out of my bedroom all I can hear is the members downstairs talking to each other. I try to stay as quiet as I can that way I don't call too much attention to myself. Once I reach the top step and I can see everyone they all stop talking and stare at me. Well shit, is it too late to run? I ask myself. I continue my way down the stairs carefully taking each step as to not trip. This is something I'm so not used to. "Here she is everyone! The birthday girl has arrived." My mother calls out to the crowd while making her way towards me with an angry scowl on her face. "Zara where the hell have you been?! And what in the fuck are you wearing? I gave you an outfit to wear! Where did you even get this? This is way too nice of a dress for someone like you!" She whispers. Yep, she's furious. "It was laid on my bed Luna. I assumed this was what you gave me." I half lied. I knew she would never give this to me to wear today but I don't know who could've given it to me either, everyone hates me here. "Don't lie to me, child! Let's just get on with this so I can go back to bed." She said. "Yes, Luna."

The party is almost over which means I now have to 'shift'. This should be fun, I thought. "Everybody please quiet down and any unmute males come to the front while Zaraphine shifts into her wolf to find her mate, " She says while giving me one of her sickly sweet smiles. I slowly make my way to her, not ready for what is to come. "Zara please shift for the pack." Esther states cooly. "I can't, " I whisper to her. "What is that Zaraphine?" She asks with a smirk. I drop my head in shame and say it again louder, so everyone can hear me, "I can't. I still have not met my wolf."

Gasps and whispers are heard throughout the room. "Abomination!" Someone yells. "She's not even a wolf!" My brother screams from the back of the room. I am now in tears staring at my pack members knowing what is about to come. "Well, it is settled then. I, Esther Knight, Luna of Blue Moon pack banish you! You will live your life as a rogue from here on. You are not to welcome on any pack land unless granted by an Alpha! You have five minutes to be off my pack lands before you are killed like the rogue you are!" My mother screams at me. I rush past her up the stairs with tears steadily falling from my eyes. I reach my room in record time and start throwing my boxes out of my window. "Shit!" I scream. I don't have any more time so without thinking I jump from my window. I am almost positive I broke my ankle but I get up, grab my boxes and run as fast as I can to the edge of the pack.
