"When were you going to tell me that you had a sister?" she asked.

I sighed and closed my eyes. To be honest, I didn't know. I was hoping that one day she'd come back to us and then I could introduce my mate to my sister.

"And why haven't I met her? Why did she leave? Answer my questions, dammit!" she shouted, standing up abruptly and started pacing.

She was going to hate me, but I couldn't lie to her. Not after I'd promised her to never lie to her or hide anything from her.

I took a deep breath and began my story, "Sophia ran away about five years ago. S-She didn't have the best life here. She was b-bullied by the pack, me, dad.. .just everyone. Mom was there for her sometimes, but mom was always sleeping around, so she wasn't here most of the times. Sophia hadn't shifted when she left, so she was 16 then, when she was suppose to have shifted. So dad us to call her w-worthless everyday and b-beat her."

I wiped away the tears that had fallen from my eyes and stole a quick glance at her to see her reaction. Her face was emotionless, so I couldn't tell what she was thinking, and she'd blocked off her mind from me, so I wasn't able to sense her emotions.

I continued anyways, "Dad convinced me that she was weak, that she wasn't worth anything. That she was just a pathetic human. So, wanting to make my dad proud, I tortured her, along with the rest of the pack. She never had any friends, nobody to talk to. Dad was sleeping around too and hated that mum did as well, so he used to take her anger out on Sophia. And I-I never did anything to protect her. I just joined along, hurting my baby sis. But now, I realise that it was the biggest mistake of my life!"

By the end, I was full-on crying. I don't expect her to come running back to me and accept me as her brother. But it hurts, the truth hurts.

I looked up at Becca and the only emotion present in her eyes was disgust. I stood up and walked to her, but she held up a hand, causing me to halt.

"I never, ever thought that you guys could do that to a poor girl. I thought you guys were the nicest people there could be on Earth, but it turns out you're just a devil in disguise. You and everyone in that pack." she said, backing away from me. Her back hit the wall and she slid down, wrapping her hands around her knees tightly.

I kneeled down beside her and whispered, "I love you Becca, I could never do that to you. And what I did to Sophia, I deeply regret, and I promise you I will do anything to make up it to Sophia, even though I could never do enough to make up for those years of torture. I'll be the brother she needs, and she wants. I promise you."

Wiping away her tears furiously, she stood up with new determination in her eyes and spoke in a confident voice, "That doesn't make anything better. You didn't think about even telling me up until now, when we met her. What if we hadn't, huh? Would you have never told me such a big part of your life?

"Even though I don't forgive you doesn't mean that I will forget about my responsibility as Beta female. I will be there alongside you in front of the pack, but other than that, we're done. We'll pretend to be happy in front of the pack, but apart from that, there will be nothing between us. Well, not until you earn the forgiveness of your sister."

And with that, she left the room and me. My heart broke and all of a sudden, my world seemed a lot darker than before.

I didn't know if I wanted to go back home yet. It had been a few weeks since the concert and since I'd met them again.

I knew that Ryan was desperately trying to get me to forgive him, and every time, I'd be so close to calling him again and telling him that I forgave him when I'd have another flash-black again of what he'd done to me along with the rest of the pack.

He sent me different flowers every single day with a personal message, telling me to come home. And everyday, I'd just ignore it.

Chase had been trying to make some amends as well. So far, he'd sent me two letters telling me how much he'd regret everything and how much he needed me.

The first one was just an ordinary letter saying that he was very sorry, and with it he sent a really expensive necklace. It was beautiful with a sapphire shaped-heart with a silver frame around it, which was encrusted with diamonds. The words, 'Sophia, Forever and Always' was engraved at the back. I hadn't worn it yet, but I have kept in the same royal blue box with a white bow tied around it that he sent.
