Enzo's Guilt

Whips sounded aggressively in the wind, a heart-shattering scream was heard. It was not just that scream, the person who was being beaten with such brutality was his sister. It was hard to watch. Women wept with her in their hearts but hid it because they were not allowed to share her pain. This was her own doing, she disgraced all of them. She broke the rules.

Out of all of them, one girl was gloating in happiness and relief.

Kick "Crack," that was the sound that made her scream an agonizing scream.

"I didn't do it," she said in between her cries and pleas. She pleaded with the man she trusted most, he was killing her. He just broke her ribs right now, he was whipping her like he was beating a fucking enemy.

Goddess, what have I done to be treated this way?

"You vile child, how dare you to bring such shame to my home? How dare you taint our pack and family name?" The beating became more intense.

Blood...

There was blood everywhere and she was swimming in the pool of it all. People watched on the sidelines doing nothing, others laughed while others sneered.

How can people be so heartless, why didn't they believe her?

It looked like her sister made sure no one would listen to her. Her eyes found those of her mother, the woman was smiling a wicked smile. She is the one who is a disgrace to all of them. The disgraceful people were those pathetic creatures, who allowed themselves to be manipulated by a little girl. She looked around her and found her brothers eyes, he was fighting with his friends.

He was trying to rescue her, he knew she didn't do all of those vile things. Millicent smiled at him and the smile was filled with happiness, tenderness and love.

Enzo and his friends froze. How can she smile while she is being killed?

One boy frowned from Enzo's crowd, if she was guilty why did she look so pitiful? She was calling for help, looked hopeless. He turned around his eyes found Linda, what he saw scared him. She was smirking looking at her sister with happiness and delight in her eyes. It was astonishing. She was being beaten to death for God sake, yet she was so happy about it.

"She didn't do all of those things, did she?" asked Anthony "Of course not," answered Enzo in anger.

Millicent finally looked at her twin sister, she didn't blink and finally saw Linda for who she was. Looking at how Linda enjoyed her being beaten by their father to death, gave her goosebumps. She had been in denial before and ignored all the signs. She didn't want to believe her sister would be like that, her twin sister to betray her this way.

"She must hate me," said Millicent absently, everyone froze at that statement.

What did she mean?

********

"Enzo man, what are you thinking about?" asked Anthony.

"I am always thinking about that day. I feel so guilty, my sister died because I did nothing to save her." A lone tear slowly descended on his cheek.

"Man, you know you did all you could. Your parents just didn't want to listen. Linda duped everyone with her lies." Anthony still couldn't believe what Linda did to her twin sister.

"I just wish there was a way I could've prevented all of that mess, but Linda made sure all the exits were sealed. I still can't believe she was that cunning and causing her own sister's death because of jealousy." Enzo still couldn't understand his sister's behaviour to this day.

"Don't do this to yourself Enzo, your parents and sister are to blame. You know very well they only cared about their status and what the pack thought. They... they really could care less about the truth. I am sure your father wanted to be feared if he could kill his flesh. what is to stop him to do the same to the enemy or disobedient pack members?" said Anthony.

"You are right, he got a better position in the pack after that. He is disgusting. I can't believe he beat her so bad, she couldn't even survive, and mother just watched with a sinister smile. I don't understand my family. Millicent was such a sweetheart but Linda took all the limelight for herself and tarnished any good that was said about our sister."

They didn't realize Enzo's father was listening to their conversation. He didn't care what other people said about him, but it hurt him to hear his son condemn him. He doesn't understand why Enzo insists that good for nothing daughter was innocent and puts all the blame on his innocent Linda.

"They don't even know what Linda did to Millicent. Every friend she made Linda would befriend and start lies about Millicent. Millicent though never cared that people looked down on her because she still had her sister. She trusted Linda with her life, she told her everything because she believed Linda would never harm her. If only she had known, Linda hated our sister. She felt she took all the attention from her and all was about Millicent, so she retailed by doing the worst." Enzo stopped talking, there was a lump in his throat, he felt like crying.

"She stole her friends, any boy who showed interest towards Millicent she would snatch them away. Linda found his mate who was an omega, she rejected him and got him killed because he was too weak for her." Anthony's eyes bugged out in shock.

But the most shocked person was the father who was eavesdropping on them, Enzo must be lying. There is no way Linda did that, he refused to believe it.

"When she found out Millicent was fated to be with an Alpha, she went ballistic. She couldn't take it. Why again was Millicent getting everything better? Millicent got good grades, she always was approached by popular kids. Now, she was mated to an Alpha? This must have been the last straw for Linda."

Anthony was confused, what did Enzo mean? "What are you talking about dude?"

"She snapped. She slapped Millicent when she told us about Alpha Reese. Linda was convinced Millicent was lying to us, she called her an attention seeker. She didn't believe her at all, but she was dumbfounded when the Alpha himself confirmed that Milly was his mate." Enzo chuckled.

But his face changed again and the pain was seen. "A day after that Millicent was dead and Linda became the Luna of the Moon Pack"

"WHAT?" Enzo father and Anthony exclaimed at once.
