"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.
