Reincarnated into an Omega

Attack on Night Stone

I woke with a start.

Crashing and screams were seeping through my bedroom walls as an orange glow flickers wildly outside my windows, where my thin curtains were drawn closed. Scrambling out of bed I quickly run to throw those curtains wide open. What meets before my eyes has me frozen in confusion and disbelief.

What the hell was going on here?

I watch with horror as Night Stone pack was being attacked. Viciously. Dozens of pack members were running, screaming, and being killed right before my eyes. I stumble backwards as I watch a rogue wolf jump on a woman who was trying to get her child to safety, only to be shred to pieces in moments. I wanted to scream, but my voice was stuck in my throat.

“Safina?!”

I turn around just as my mother throws my door wide open. She looked a bit hysterical as she rushes to me. Grabbing my shoulders in a tight grip, her eyes wildly looking into my face, she says,

“We need to hide you.”

“W-What?”

She doesn’t answer me as she takes my hand and roughly pulls me after her. Ignoring what was happening all around us, I couldn’t help but stare as more wolves were barging into the mansion, attacking anyone they saw. Our omegas, that served our home day in and day out, tried to escape the slaughter, but none of them had any luck as more wolves burst through the windows.

I even watch as other omegas quickly shifted into their own wolves, but they were no match to any of them. Seeing someone I knew, I pulled back from my mother’s grasp and nearly fell over the rail on the second landing, crying out.

“Myron!” I yell to my dear friend; someone I had known my entire life.

His wolf hears me calling him. He turns in my direction before two wolves jump on his back. I didn’t know what to do as he stood his ground against them, but then, he too, fell.

“NO!” I cry.

“Safina! We can’t stop, we have to go!” My mother once again takes a hold of my hand and pulls me after her.

I didn’t know where we were going as tears fell and sobs tore through me. Myron was gone. Killed by those monsters. Our people were dying, and I didn’t understand why. Where was my father and all our men? My mother slams open another door and as soon as we entered she throws me further in as she slams the doors again and locks it.

“Quickly now!” She snaps at me.

She only took two steps when the doors begin to bang repeatedly.

“We know you’re in there Luna! Are you with your pretty young daughter?” A raspy voice muffles through the thick wooden doors. Laughter follows his words as others were with him.

My eyes widen as my mother quickly indicates to stay silent. I didn’t realize where we were until she pulls on my hand again and forces me to follow her to a wardrobe. We were in my parent’s bedroom. She quickly opens it and starts shoving her clothes aside. She then bends down and opens a trap door that revealed wooden stairs down below.

I frown down into the hole. I didn’t understand.

The banging gets louder and the wood starts to break and splinter. My heart racing and my palms sweating, my mother grabs me and starts to shove me into that little hole.

“W-What are you doing?” I whisper, afraid to be heard by those men.

She looks at me with an expression I didn’t want to accept. Shaking my head as she says,

“You’ll have to go alone. They know I’m here. If I go with you they’ll tear this place apart and find this hidden cellar. It was created just for this purpose between the two floors of the house.”

“No! You can’t do this!” I was starting to hyperventilate, my whole body shaking at the thought of leaving her behind.

“Shh.” She gently takes my face into her hands as she gazes at me with a tenderness I was afraid I’ll never see again. “It’s okay Safina, as long as you’re safe, I don’t care to what happens to me. You need to stay alive.”

“Mom-” She shoves me down hard where I nearly fall flat on my ass, missing all the steps together. I quickly look back up, sobs blurring my vision and making my voice stick.

Tears swell in her own eyes and she gives me a gentle smile. “I love you sweetheart, so much. Live.”

“ No, mom!” Then she slams the trap down closed and I hear the wardrobe shut.

The banging continues as the men still taunt her through the doors. There were small slits in the wooden floor that I could barely see out of as I walk the little space that was just under their room. I watch my mother quickly snatch the sheet off her bed and start making knots as quickly as she could. I was well aware she was ready for something like this to happen. As Luna it was her job to make sure what to do in any situation of an attack. But we weren’t prepare for something like this.

When she was done and tied one end to the bedpost, she ran to the window, disregarding her safety as she uses her elbow to break the windows and throws the knotted sheet out. She was looking down outside when the doors finally burst open.

I almost screamed out loud, throwing my hands over my mouth to keep myself as silent as possible. They didn’t rush at her like I thought they would. Instead, they stalked her slowly, like she was prey. She gives them a deadly glare, blocking the window from their view. It wasn’t very supple of her, almost as if she wanted them to know she was trying to hide it.

I peak between another part of the floor to see a short man with greasy hair and an unwashed body. He looks around the room as his cronies stay close behind him, all staring at her with disgusting grins on their faces.

Rogues.

My breathing becomes even more erratic at the knowledge that my home was being slaughtered by rogues. The leader of them looks to the window.

“Where’s that pretty little daughter of yours?” He again taunts.

She doesn’t answer him as she gets ready in a stance I’ve seen so many times before. She was getting ready to shift into her wolf. He notices it too and holds his men back as they tried to move forward.

He again looks behind her at the window and grins. “Aw, how sweet, trying to save your child by sacrificing yourself. I’m afraid however, it will all be in vain.” He snaps his head to his men. “Find the girl, this one is mine.”

They all growl with glee as they dash out of the room just as my mother shifts into her light grey wolf. The man shifts midflight as they collide together. Watching was the hardest thing I had to do as I kept my hands over my mouth, tears streaming down my face as they tore into each other. I wanted to help her, but there was no way I could fight against someone like that. I haven’t received my wolf yet as my eighteenth birthday was still months away.

Then it happened. The most horrifying thing to ever witness. I hear my mother whimper and then yelp as the man threw her across the room, hitting the wall hard. He stalks over to her, breathing heavily. I fall to the ground just as I watch him sink his teeth into her skin and jerks, snapping her neck.

I didn’t know what had happened after that as my vision blurs and my body starts to go into shock, witnessing my mother being murdered right before my eyes. The next thing I know, my body sways in dizziness and my vision goes dark.

***

My eyes flutter open and I feel a little disoriented. Silence meets me as I slowly pick myself off the floor. I look around to see the small room, which was completely bare of anything. It was so dark in here that I could barely make out the moonlight that was desperately trying to seep through the cracks of the flooring above me.

Memories flood back like a tidal wave. My heart hammering into my chest, I go still and listen intently to my surroundings. Not a sound could be heard. With trembling hands, I climb the little wooden stairs and as gently as I could, I open the trapdoor inside the wardrobe.

I push my mother’s hanging clothes to the side, climbing up and out of that hole, that was starting to suffocate me. The sound of my pounding heart reverberated in my ears, making any other sound difficult to hear. I was terrified of what I was going to find just beyond these doors.

Pushing gently, the creaks echoing in the room, making me flinch in fear. I was so afraid of being caught that just the slightest movement had me on edge. I carefully get myself out of the wardrobe and took a look around me.

The room was a mess.

The mattress was torn and pushed slightly off the frame. The drapes around the fourposter bed were ripped and hanging in pieces. My mother’s everyday routine products were scattered across the dresser and the floor, the mirror on top shattered. The moonlight poured into the room, giving it a foreboding atmosphere.

I jump when I heard a crackle of wood burst just outside. The glow of red and orange in the distance made me feel an uneasiness that was creeping into my body. I didn’t hear any screams, I didn’t hear anything at all, other than the fire burning away.

I step backwards when I step on something that nearly made me fall on my hands and knees. I caught myself on the dresser before that could happen, but what I saw just on the other side left my blood cold with dread.

With wide eyes, tears sprang to my lids. “M-Mom?”

She laid there, unmoving. I didn’t comprehend the blood or the fact that her eyes were staring wide open at the ceiling. All I could think was too wake her up. “Mom! Mom, please you have to get up! We have to find dad and get out of here!”

I start shaking her, but she wasn’t budging at all. Sobs shake my entire being as the rational part of my brain was finally catching up with me. I didn’t want to admit that my mother was dead. That she was lying here lifeless and that she will never wake up again.

Leaning over her still body I let the grief overtake me. I’m not sure how long I lay on top of her just crying, but the tears finally slow down. The silence finally gets to me as I realized that I couldn’t hear a single person at all. Clumsily getting up I walk to the broken window and peer down below.

The place was a disaster. Houses were burning, bodies were scattered everywhere, not moving at all. Cars were collided with other cars or rammed through buildings, windows were broken, carts pushed on their sides that held fresh food and fabric that were just thrown all over the place. Breathing heavily, I look around to see absolutely no one that was alive. Were they hiding? Maybe they were able to escape through the forest.

I needed to find my father, the Alpha of Night Stone pack.

Turning back around I head back to my mother, taking a blanket that was tossed aside, I gently cover her body. I close her eyes to make her look as if she was only sleeping. Before I cover her face, I feel my lips quiver in heart wrenching pain.

“I-I l-love you so much. I promise mama, that I will treasure what you have done for me and I won’t forget.” Leaning down I kiss her forehead. “I won’t forget.” I whisper, then cover her face.

The thing about an empty silent house is that everything creaks louder than usual. Every time I open a door the sound was magnified ten times than normal. My emotions were so sensitive that I was completely on edge and every little sound made me jump out of my skin.

The mansion was also destroyed, but unlike most of the house outside, it wasn’t set on fire. Just ransacked and trashed beyond repair. I quickly head down the stairs and faced the front doors that were left wide open. There were bodies in the foyer and on the spacious porch that led to the grounds.

Remembering Myron, I quickly search through the bodies until I finally found him. I cover my mouth in a silent scream as more than half of his body was missing. Blood soaked his hair and face, and I could no longer look anymore. I scramble out of the house and came straight outside. The air was chilly as the dead of winter had set in. The packed snow, that before was pure white, was now mixed with mud and blood.

Everybody I came across was mauled and mutilated in some way or another. No one was left alive and I was beginning to feel more desperate and scared. Not a single one was my father, however.

I was only in my pajamas and the cold was making my limbs feel even more numb than they have before. I keep walking through the town until I finally come to the front gates that also stood wide open. There was a mound of bodies just in front, making my head spin and my heart ache seeing the emblem on the jackets, stating they were the Sentinels of our pack.

I run as fast as I could to the bodies and begin searching each of their faces for my father. After exhausting moments of lifting dead weight and searching repeatedly, I finally come across him. Like my mother, his eyes were wide open staring into the night sky with his throat ripped out.

I clutch his shirt front in a death grip, staring at him with complete disbelief. I couldn’t understand this situation. How was it my brave, loving, powerful father, the best Alpha there ever was, be dead?

This couldn’t be right. This wasn’t right. He can’t just be dead, he can’t. He was to show me the way of the wolf when she finally presented herself to me. He promised that we were to shift and roam our lands together for my first time. He promised to give me lessons on each packs responsibilities and how to take care of those I will one day protect. To watch me fall in love, to walk me down the aisle and raise a family of my own, where he could retire and play with his grandchildren.

How was he supposed to do all that if he just leaves me here all alone? What was I supposed to do now? How could he leave me alone like this?

The grief was too much. I had just lost both of my parents in a gruesome act. Not just them, but everyone that I knew was gone. Calvin, my father’s Beta, laid just a few yards away looking no better than the others that fought and died to protect their home.

After long moments of crying uncontrollably I was finally able to calm down. I didn’t know what to do or where to go. How was I able to live all alone without any of my pack members? Depression was staring to set in. I didn’t want to move as I just sat there next to my father in the midst of all these dead corpses that were both my people and the rogue invaders.

I don’t know how long I did sit there for, but after a few more moments I heard distant voices. Heart beginning to race I wasn’t sure if they were friend or foe, so I pick myself up quietly and head in the direction the voices were coming from.

At first they were talking in calm low tones, until one of them got louder in anger. I stop where I was, just around the corner of a building where they couldn’t see me.

“We can’t just leave! The girl hasn’t been found yet!”

“We’ve been here long enough. If we stay any longer other nearby packs will see the fire and smoke and will want to investigate. I don’t want to be here when they decide to show up. We are leaving.”

A man I have never seen before barks out, looking highly annoyed. I stare in disbelief at my uncle, the man who had first spoke. Well, he was my mother’s stepbrother. I didn’t understand what they were talking about and why he was standing there seeming to be completely calm about what had just happened to our home.

“If we don’t find her and make sure she’s dead, it will come and bite us in the ass one day! I can’t have her live!”

“Your niece is no threat to us, Marcus. She’s a little girl who just lost her entire family. Do you honestly think she’ll be able to come after us? Besides, she doesn’t even know it was you who has betrayed your own family and murdered your own brother-in-law and sister.”

“Step-sister!” He growls in hate. “I don’t care, she needs to be dead!”

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. What was he saying? Betrayed my family? He murdered my parents? But…why?! Why would he do such a thing? For what purpose? My heart was pounding erratically, my breathing becoming shallow as mounds of thoughts rushed through me, trying desperately to comprehend what was going on around me.

“If you value my sister, who is unfortunately your mate, and wish to be with her then we leave now.” The stranger growls back angrily.

I stiffen at his words. What? His sister? Mate? What was that supposed to mean? All this was just so he could be with his mate?

Placing my hand over my mouth as tears kept falling at this bizarre conversation. I step back and accidently hit something behind me that causes a loud clash. Gasping aloud I hear the two men heading my way. Quickly retreating back the way I had come from I collide with two large men that emerges from a nearby house, their arms full of possessions.

I stumble backwards and nearly fall on my behind when one of them say,

“Well, well, well. Look what we have here.”

My body freezes in the way his tone screamed with glee. My body starts to shake as I take a couple of steps back from them.

“We got ourselves a real beauty here. Hey sweetheart, you look a little cold. How about I come over there and warm you up.” He grins at me showing rotten teeth.

The other man shoves him a little with a growl. “I get her first, you had the last one all to yourself. By the time you were done she was too destroyed for me to enjoy myself.”

My eyes widen at the implication of what these two were planning to do to me. Before either of them could stop talking to the other and just as my uncle and that strange man rounds the corner, I sprint as fast as I possibly could straight into the forest. Hoping against hope that I would be able to lose them there.
