With one hand I carried both my duffel bags, and with the other, I carried my guitar, which was safely placed in it's case.

And with that, I left my old home and life in search of a new, better one...

[Ryan's POV- Sophia's older brother ]

Laughing at Drake's joke, we all entered my house. My friends and I always hang out at mine after school and before. Sometimes they like to tease me about Sophia being my sister. But I always end up using my Beta voice to tell them to be quiet and shut up.

Sophia and I used to be close. But then, I shifted and she still hasn't, which automatically makes her the lowest of the pack. Which is why she gets bullied: because she's too weak. And I knew that if I did stand up for her, I would be bullied as well, and I wouldn't be Beta, which dad would be furious about. I truly do love her (even though I would never admit it to anyone), but I can't stand up for her, I just have to go along with the crowd. But I always do feel guilty after humiliating her, those words porbably hurt me more then her.

I entered the kitchen and found that there was no food anywhere. Normally, Sophia would cook for us as our parents were hardly ever at home. I told her to get food ready for us.

Damn it, why hasn't she? Does she want to embarrass me in front of my friends? "Hey guys, hold up. I'm gonna go see Sophia. I'll be down in a minute," I said to them as they continued telling jokes and messing around.

Stomping up the stairs, I made my way to her bedroom. I knocked on her bedroom door gently at first, but when she didn't answer, I knocked louder.

Was she really testing my patience? But my wolf didn't have a good feeling about this, call it instinct, but he knew there was something most definitely wrong. This time, I pounded on her door.

I waited a few seconds and when she didn't answer, I flung the door open to an .. .empty-looking bedroom?

I looked around and noticed that most of her clothes were gone. Most of the things in her room were gone- not that she had much anyways. Her room was completely bare, apart from the furniture in the room and her pillow and bedsheets. I gasped as I looked around the room, taking everything in for the hundredth time.

Please don't tell me she did what I think she did, I prayed silently.

I looked around her room and in her bathroom and she wasn't anywhere to be found. Sniffing the air, I found her scent, although it was faint, indicating that she left a while ago.

I could feel my world crumbling. My young, innocent baby sister has left all because of her brother. I felt tears rolling down my cheeks now and I did nothing to stop them. It was all my fault. I didn't protect her. I chose my reputation and status over her, and suddenly, it didn't mean anything to me anymore.

What if something happens when she's out there?

I'd never ever be able to forgive myself. I sat down on her bed and rested my elbow on my knees. I buried my face in my palms and cried. The phrase, 'You don't know what you have until you lose it' really struck home right now.

Sobbing slightly, I mind-linked Chase as he was the Alpha, 'Ch-Chase, get at my h-house n-now. It's important.'

'I'm busy,' he replied. I knew exactly what he was talking about, but right now that wasn't important. She could be dying for all I knew. God forbid that happens.

'This is important Chase, h-hurry up. I'll be in Sophia's room,' I urgued him.

'Fine but if it's not important, you're getting your ass kicked.'

Few minutes later, he arrived. Since the pack house wasn't that far way, he could get here within two minutes if he was in werewolf form. But Chase was one the fastest pack members in the pack, being Alpha, so he could get here in less than a minute.

"What happened to you?" he asked, his eyes widen as he took me in, crying. He knew that I hardly ever cried, since he was my best friend and had practically known me for his entire being, he knew lots about me.

"She left..." I whispered as I felt a load of warm tears fall down my cheeks.

I laid back on the bed, when I felt a piece of paper underneath me. I sat up again and found a note. It read two simple worlds that nearly killed me, 'Sorry. Goodbye.'

She was sorry for being in the pack, so she was leaving us. She blamed herself all this time and this made me feel even more guiltier, if that was even possible. Although that note just had two words on them, they were the most painful word anyone had ever said to me.

"W-what do you mean she's left?" Chase stuttered with his eyes wide and mouth open.

"S-she's l-left," I sobbed and passed him the note.

He read and a second later, anger, sadness and guilt appeared across his face. "She c-can't. She can't leave."

"Well she has! All because of us!" I cried.

"W-we need to replace her. We have to replace her," he said, beginning to collect himself from the shock. He then mind-linked the pack for an emergency pack meeting in his Alpha tone, which meant that everyone had to come. We all ran in human form to the pack house.

Our friends joined us as we went to the pack house for the meeting. Whispers filled the room as we arrived. People looked at us with questioning looks. I probably looked like hell right now, but I couldn't care less.

Chase went to the front of the meeting room, which was basically a large room with chairs facing a large stage. I stood next to him as his Beta, with red puffy eyes, as he cleared his throat, which stopped all the murmurs and whispers.

"I have called this emergency today here today because our Beta's sister Sophia Campbell has ran away, as we think. We found a note saying, 'Sorry. Goodbye.' on her bed," he said loud and clear with confidence, although I could hear him wince slightly when he said that she'd ran away.

"Thank God, we don't need her," a whiny voice said. I turned my gaze to the voice and found that it was Nicole, sitting in the front row with a tight dress, which finished just below her butt and the neckline so low that all her almost all her goodies were on display.

Within seconds, I was in front of her, raging. How dare she say such things about my sister?!

'Have you forgotten, you've said worst.' my wolf taunted.
