Avery's Point of View
"Hold her up properly!!", Sophia ordered as her minions held me tight, paying deaf ears to my pleas and cries.
This has been my life for as long as I can remember, I still don't know what I did wrong that made them treat me this way.
Countless times, I've wondered what I'd done that made Sophia hate me this much. I mean, she has everything-the pack adores her, she has our parents and siblings' love, and she's practically the gem of the entire pack.
While I was treated like the black sheep, my own parents made me feel like an outcast, they made me feel worthless.
"Sophia, please... I'm your sister, your own blood," I choked out, my voice trembling with desperation. "What did I do to deserve this? Why are you treating me like this?! Tell me, please... why do you hate me so much? I've tried... I've tried so hard to make you see me, to make you love me."
I groaned, unable to stop the tears pouring down my eyes.
"What did you just say? Sister?! I'm no sister to a witch", Sophia sneered as she eyed me as if I was the most disgusting thing she had ever laid her eyes on.
"I mean, look at you. With your white hair and strange looking eyes!! You're nothing but a witch, I'm sure mom must have picked you up somewhere", She sneered as she slapped me across the face.
All of a sudden, I felt a strange resolve in me, I knew this was a suicide mission but I was tired of her constant bullying. For once, I wanted to speak up for myself.
"So what if I look different? I know that you're just jealous because I look way more beautiful than you are", I was rewarded with a punch and I could feel the copper taste of blood in my mouth but it was worth it.
"What?! You know it's the truth", I smirked, staring at her, daring her to do her worst.
"Beat this witch up!!", her brainless minions were about to descend on me, when a voice suddenly yelled authoritatively.
"What's going on here?!" I sighed in relief as I stared at the approaching figure, it was Julian.
My savior.
My mate.
The only reason I'm able to put up to all the maltreatment from the pack. He's the only support I have, if not for him, I would have been long dead.
"Alpha!" Sophia shrieked in terror and I couldn't help but smirk at her.
"Don't make me repeat myself!!" Julian growled as he stepped closer to us.
"Alpha, she... sh... she was caught stealing and I decided to have her punished", Sophia stuttered and I gasped in shock at how easy it was for her to lie.
And to think that I saw her as the best sister ever, not knowing that she was nothing but a sly fox.
"Is that so?" Julian asked as he narrowed his eyes on her.
"Yes Alpha"
"Then leave her to me, I'll give her the punishment she deserved," Sophia and her minions nodded as they walked away but not without her giving me the 'you're dead' look.
But I shrugged it off, immediately she was gone out of sight, I leaped into Julian arms as fresh tears poured down my face.
"There..... there, princess. It's all good, I'm here, okay", he cooed as he stroked my hair.
