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 find her. We have to find 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.

Shut up, I screamed, hating that he was right.

« SHUT THE HELL UP. THAT IS MY SISTER YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT ! MY SISTER. SHE COULD BE DYING SOMEWHERE RIGHT NOW ! » I screamed, which caused her to flinch and cower under my glare.

« Beta Ryan. We don’t have time to waste on her. We need to find Sophia, NOW. I want the entire territory searched and any possible leads as to where she is, » he demanded in this Alpha voice.

Everybody got up and went out looking for her. Then we found out that her pack bond was broken.

-

We’ve been searching for her for weeks now. We’ve asked other Alphas of the neighbouring territories. We’ve checked hospital, bank, anything, but it was as if she had completely disappeared off the face of the planet.

Her faint scent that we found was washed away with the rain, which meant we couldn’t track her down. Even the trackers were having a hard time finding her, and they were the best.

I changed when she left. I don’t sleep around anymore. I can barely sleep as it is. I hardly eat, only when forced. Most of the time, I spent all my time in her room or looking at her photos after school and before school, and now I even sleep in her room.

When our parents found out, they blamed themselves for not being here for her. And finally, they’ve stopped sleeping around, being whore-bags and started being a proper couple, like they used to be when we were younger. They are like living corpses though.

Days after she left, I found out that she took one of my favourite hoodies, one of mom’s favourite necklaces and one of dad’s favourite colognes.

That made me start crying all over again. I don’t think I could ever forgive myself. Despite what we’d done to her, she still wants to remember us.

If she did come back, I don’t think that I’d deserve her forgiveness. I don’t think anyone of us does. We all humiliated her at every chance we got and bullied her. We made her feel like trash and nobody could forgive us for doing that to her.

Chase has changed as well. Before he actually had standards, but now, he fucks everything with tits. He’s out most of the nights, partying, sleeping around, drinking . . .

But I can see that he doesn’t get any sleep at all. He hardly ever talks anymore. I don’t know why Sophia leaving has had such an impact on him, but it has. I tried to talk to him about it but he would always brush it off and make up a stupid excuse and leave.

I just wish Sophia comes back, because now, I’ve realise how much I actually miss my baby sister. They say you don’t know what you have until you’ve lost it and now I truly know what I have lost, and that it that kindest, most beautiful person at heart in the world, who so happens to be my angel of a little sister.

Wherever you are Sophia, please come back to us, I prayed before I fell asleep on her bed.

After driving out of the territory, I let out a shaky breath. My wolf was protesting, wanting to go back to her mate, but me : that is a completely different story.

I hated him now. More than ever.

He took my innocence and left me to be. He didn’t even reject me properly, which meant that that our bond wasn’t broken yet.

I continued driving, tears silently falling down my cheeks, until a pain struck me in my lower abdomen. I bit my lips so that I wouldn’t start screaming out, because the pain was excrutiating.

I parked my park on the side of a quite road before stumbling into the forest nearby. I walked deep into the forest before screaming, with tears running down my cheeks.

I cried louder as the pain got worse.

After about half an hour of pain, I got feel myself falling into darkness, but before it got fully engulf me, I heard a voice near next to me, telling me to hold on.

-

An hour later . . .

« When is she going to wake up ? » a deep voice asked.

« I don’t know. She should’ve woken by now, » a soft voice replied.

I tried to open my eyes, by my head felt as if someone was hitting it with a hammer. With a groan, my eyes flew open. Taking in the surroundings, I noticed that I was in an unknown place.

My wolf automatically went into defense mode, just in case someone tried to attack us. Although we weren’t well-trained, we knew the basics.

I sat up straight and looked around. I was in a cream-coloured bedroom. I noticed that I was sitting on a warm, comfortable king-sized bed, but I wasn’t wearing my clothes, instead a huge comfortable t-shirt.

Standing in front of me was a tall, handsome man, with brown shaggy hair and bright blue eyes. To say that he was good-looking would be an understatement : he was HOT. He seemed a bit older than me, maybe eighteen, and also he had a powerful aura around him, indicating that he was the Alpha.

Next to him stood an older looking woman, aged in her mid-thirties. She had beautiful long, blonde hair and bright blue eyes as well. She was probably the guy’s mom as they had the same eyes and had similar facial features.

« Hey honey, are we ok ? » the lady asked in a soft, motherly voice.

I nodded, « W-where am I ? » I was scared as I was a rogue now, so they could kill me for trespassing their land.

« You’re in The Shadow Moon’s territory, and I am Alpha Daniel Woods, » the fit guy answered confidently with pride.

« O-ok, why d-did you bring m-me h-here ? » I stuttered.

« You were in pain and you were screaming, then you passed out, so I brought you here, » he replied.
