"Is this how you bully Carly at home?!"
My eyes widened in disbelief as I stared at him. What was he talking about? I hadn't bullied anyone! I opened my mouth to protest, but before I could get a word out, he grabbed my arms, his grip tight. I opened my mouth to protest, but before I could get a word out, he grabbed my arms, his grip tight.
"Answer me! Why would you bully Carly?" Hayden roared, his voice shaking with rage.
"Let go of me!" I tried to pull away, but he held on tight.
I looked over at Carly, hoping she would say something - anything - to defend me. Even though I knew it wasn't even possible, she was the least likely person to defend me.
I don't remember when Carly fell in love with games like this - playing the victimized Cinderella. Especially in front of the much-loved twin Alpha's as a way to get their attention.
And I was the one who helped her through it all, the one she constantly vilified. But I don't want to explain, it doesn't make any sense.
"This isn't the first time, God knows how she bullies soft Carly at home!" A female voice came from the crowd, and immediately the crowd of people started accusing me.
"Yeah, that's her own sister! What a mean person!"
Yes, Carly was my twin sister, but we were nothing alike. From birth she was diagnosed with a congenital heart condition that nearly killed her. The doctors decided it was because I robbed her of nutrients in the womb and that's what caused her to be born weak. It was because of this that our parents always favored her, constantly admonishing me to provide for her every need.
I can tolerate Carly indefinitely, but that doesn't mean I'm weak enough to be bullied.
"Are you guys done?!" I said coldly, glaring firmly at the men. "She's MY sister. leave us alone."
The room went silent, and I could feel everyone's eyes on me.
I walked over to Carly, ignoring the looks, I was used to this so they have no effects on me.
"Come on, Carly, let's go home," I said, my voice sounding more confident than I felt.
I knew that I don't come home with her, our parents would blame me for leaving my sick sister, just like they always did.
I looked up at Carly, and she was still standing there, frozen in fear. I reached out to take her hand, but she flinched away, hiding behind Hayden's twin brother. Hunter's back, "No... I'm scared."
God, she wasn't going to end this farce just yet.
I take a deep breath and try to soften my voice as much as I can and gently say, "Carly, it's time to go home." , my voice barely a whisper as I tried to drag her from Hunter's back.
Hunter stepped forward, placing himself between me and my sister. I could see the anger in his eyes, and I knew I was in trouble.
"You need to leave," he said, his voice cold.
Hunter and Hayden were twins. They are the next heir in our pack, which made them the most powerful and feared.
"Stay out of this," I snapped, unable to keep the anger out of my voice. "It's between me and my sister."
I reached for Carly’s hand, but Hunter slapped my hand away.
"Stay away from her," he growled.
"And who are you to tell me what to do?" I demanded, folding my arms across my chest. I could feel the tension rising, and I knew that I had crossed the line, but i couldn’t help it.
"You'll see who I am if you touch her again," he said, his eyes flashing with warning.
I reached for my sister's hand again, but before I could touch her, Hunter shoved me away. I stumbled backwards, tripping over a chair and crashing into a table.
I yelped as pain shot through my leg, and I could feel blood trickling down my leg. I bit my lip to stop myself from crying out, and I could hear the students around me laughing. No one moved to help me. I felt humiliated and angry, and I glared at Hunter, my hands clenched into fists.
