The Rise of the Bullied Omega

Nyxana

People always said that miracles did happen and that there was a point in a person’s life when it would take a great turn. And I thought that I was having a great turnaround in my life.

I exhaled sharply for the millionth time that day and I rubbed my sweaty palms against each other. The AC on the car was still on, but I was nervous. I couldn't calm down and I kept tapping my feet, my breath shaky.

“I already told you to calm down. Don't be nervous.” A warm hand landed on mine and I lifted my gaze to meet the eyes of the woman that I had gotten so close to in the last month. Since I was born, she had been the nicest to me and she was taking me to my family. I had a family.

“What if they don't like me?” There was worry in my voice and Azmera flashed a soft smile at me. She was the woman I had come to know as my grandmother.

“I already told you to come down Nyxana. Everyone is expecting you and you don't have to worry, you will be treated nicely.” She assured me and I nodded at her. I glanced outside the car window and I was in awe of how beautiful the pack was. I used to live in a rural area with my old pack and my house was a wooden house located in the depths of a forest. Each time I left my house, it was to go to the market to steal just so I could put food on my table.

I was not a thief but the situation of things made me steal as people would not agree to give me jobs all because I was a poor and wolfless omega. They treated me like trash because I was an orphan and had no family. But in a few minute's time, I would be meeting my family. My real family and the woman sitting beside me who was my grandma told me that I had a brother.

It felt so surreal and finding out that the Alpha of a pack was your real father was a miracle indeed. A miracle that I had always prayed for.

“What are my parents like? And brother?” I couldn't help but ask as I was dying to meet them.

“You will know when you meet them, Nyxana, but know that they are very nice and love you very much.”

“Then why didn't they look for me? And what about the other girl?” My voice was low and Azmera sighed. There was another girl. Azmera had been explaining things to me and said there was a mix up and I was taken away from my parents at birth and the other girl was not the real princess of the pack. The past one month had been Azmera running around to prove that I was the real child, and I was.

“They had no idea. They would have come for you Nyxana. And don't worry about Rayne. We told the people that she is your long lost twin and Rayne will not trouble you.” She stated.

“But—”

“We have arrived. The Alpha and Luna are waiting at the palace gates.” The driver announced and I gasped, becoming more nervous than ever.

“See? They even waited for you here. Come on Nyxana.” While Azmera got out from the other side of the car, a guard opened the side of my door and I nervously stepped out. My hands were shaky and sweaty and I was worried about what would happen if I didn't impress them.

I looked towards the gate and there were some guards standing but my eyes were focused on two people. The queen and the Alpha. Zethra had a warm smile on her face and there were unshed tears in her eyes. Sylas was not smiling but he had a warm and welcoming look on his face.

“Go on,” Azmera motioned at me to move and I moved, running towards Zethra at first and I wrapped my hands around her, hugging her. She hugged me back and I immediately felt something. Peace.

“My child.” Zethra hugged me and I felt so much warmth. I was holding my mother and she was holding me back. I had a mother and a father. All my nervousness disappeared the moment I hugged her and I didn't want to let go.

I broke off from the hug and I was about to go hug my father when I saw two guards running towards us. Everyone noticed them as well and they suddenly became curious.

“Alpha—” The first guard began, panting. “The princess room is on fire, your highness. We have tried to get her out but the fire has spread—”

“What do you mean by my daughter's room is on fire?” Sylas suddenly grabbed the guard by the collar and my heart began to race as the smile on my mother’s face disappeared.

“What happened to my princess?” She asked, looking horrified.

“You high—”

“Stop talking! Zethra, come on. Our daughter needs us.” And that was how I watched the people that were supposed to welcome me left. They never spared a second glance at me. I felt so hurt and tears gathered in my eyes.

“Come with me dear. They are worried. Don't be sad. Let's go.” Azmera tried to make me feel welcome and I followed her back into the car. I felt empty still and I just stared in a direction as the driver drove into the palace grounds, straight to the main building.

I didn't even get the time to admire the beauty of the palace. Everywhere was in chaos and a lot of servants were running in panic and I also noticed the smoke. “What's going on?” I asked Azmera, who looked just as confused.

She gestured at me to wait as she turned to get a servant. “What happened to Princess Rayne?” She asked the female servant who had soot on her face and smelled like smoke.

“Her room caught fire. She attempted suicide and we couldn't save her. Princess Rayne set herself on fire and she is dead. She left a suicide note in the Luna’s room.” I heard a loud ringing in my ears at the servants' words and it felt like I had been thrown into a dark abyss. Suicide? Why did it have to be on the same day I stepped foot into the palace?
