I was his sister. I didn't even consider it as a possibility before, but the second he said it; I felt it. A sense of safety; familiarity overwhelming me completely. He was my blood. I could sense it perfectly.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM31wpHdgS
All my life, I had spent isolated. I was different from the others; an outsider. My mother was often reserved and difficult to talk to. At these times I yearned for a real family: a father, siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins. But I had none.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9C8uCJa2X
Or so, I thought.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckCMzMwXod
This was ridiculous. There was no way I had a brother my mother had never told me about. If it was something this important, I would've known.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE4znV38tj
The bell rang a second time, interrupting my thoughts.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uqfFS990A
"You're a liar," I hissed, shoving him away with all my strength. He stumbled back and grabbed onto the table end with fast reflex.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHTwS62aBq
"Wait, Weslyn," he called. I found myself freeze, despite how much I wanted to defy him. "I will protect you from others if you stay but if you leave now, that's the end of our family tie. I will never defend you from danger, even when you need it the most."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDlgG0cA9o
I stared at him for a minute, strangely captivated and then, snapped out of my trance.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEOanN5Oi4
"I don't need protection," I practically growled. "There's nothing endangering me."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcoOI5kmLL
"Ah, but there is," Mr Grayson objected. Rolling my eyes, I stepped out of the room. "But you'll only find out if you know the truth." 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNrmWbouXK
That caught my attention, forcing me to turn around.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIRgLm3jeK
"Tell me," I demanded. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25thfZngN5
"No," he said firmly. "Once you know the truth, so will the threat. You need to give me your word that you'll stay by me and allow yourself to be protected."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdad49qKar4
My whole life was a lie, I knew nothing of my past and I was possibly being stalked by some danger. Letting someone protect me didn't sound risky at all. In fact, if anything it was the opposite. Besides, I might have even gotten answers. What did I have to lose?846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7dlKI4Chg
"Fine," I answered. "I'll let you defend me, as long as you tell me everything you know."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hbgV7lDYh
"Give me your word."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFOyGgWjiX
"I give you my word, you have the right to protect me," I promised. "Now tell me the truth."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP1odnbNht
He smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkwKIt3Hi4
"Calm it, sister," he sounded amused. "This is the first time I'm seeing you in 8 years and you don't even remember me. Maybe we can slow down a bit."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ6N1g9DYR
"But-"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BjmrJlsVa
"Time for introductions," he interrupted, grinning. "I'm West Grayson- your brother. What about you, little sister?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXDAI67tBZ
"I'm Weslyn Grayson," I responded drily. As if he didn't already know that.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMf0FwoPb7
"Now its your turn to ask a question."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjyhhcW5hT
"What happened to my parents?" I demanded. "How am I related to Gray Valley? Why am I connected to you?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK891mThyj
"Whoa, didn't I just say we were getting to know each other, Wes?" he raised a single brow at me. "Besides, that was a lot more than one question." For the love of Luna...846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTfkQk7fGR
"My name is not Wes," I gritted out. "Either tell me what you know, or I'll leave."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn1El6Yhir
"I'd love to see you try," he smirked. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDl5RU1BAn
I turned to leave but felt my own body pull me back from moving. No matter how hard I fought the urge to stay, I couldn't step out of the room.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf2xeZJxh9
"You see, Wes," he explained. "Us Graysons; we're true to our word... we physically can't act against our promises." I stared at doorway with disbelief.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMawrkzGy7U
"How?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUw6U4cAT0
"Mysterious, isn't it?" he chuckled. "Actually, when you think about it, it's quite unbelievable."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbcjJcXeeQ
"But, how?" I repeated, my eyes wide with shock. "How does it work?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzYpXZjstr
"You really want to know, don't you?" he asked. I glared up him and he looked back, reflecting the intensity in my eyes. "Then I'll have to tell you."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOtgzJ8Crx
"Really?" I couldn't believe he was that easily; I barely even tried. "Just like that?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5g6woFcNd
"Just like that," he confirmed. "First of all, Wes, why do you think I teach Lycanthropy at a local high school?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLZXBJ99JQ
"In the name of Luna," I sighed, exasperated. "You're meant to be giving me answered, not more questions."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW21EswFW2l
"Trust me, Weslyn. Think about it. Try to remember. Find the answer to this and you'll automatically get all your answers."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN33hdRrWYU
I sank to my knees and squeezed the sides of my head with my palms. Luna, please help me. With that I stretched my memory, thinking of everything I could ever remember.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R2ssRe8vo
Familiar images flashed by, leaving no trace: deadly silence, tormenting children, lonely nights, endless gloom, insignificant events. And then I saw it...846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdafHsjfbr
The reflection of a beast in the form of a wolf, it's familiar eyes gleaming in the light of the full moon. I knew who it was without apprehension, but it was impossible to accept it. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEDiYIWLpI
The truth was agonising.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE0F4eoLB7
"Werewolves," I murmured. "They don't exist." He smiled slightly.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYEqyCi36Q
"Don't pretend you didn't see that memory, Wes."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzWfIzhnIo
"No its not true," I snapped. "There's no such thing as werewolves!"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM72fseGlN
"Isn't there?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvDXBQbWUv
"For the love of Luna! They don't exist!"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRThlDRqE68
"Don't lie, Weslyn Grayson," he hissed. "You remember, don't you? Seeing your reflection in the lake..."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QLwGKAdvk
"That's not true!" I yelled. "I'm not a... I can't be a..."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLUg1ABrkb
"On the contrary, that's exactly what you are," he smirked. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPwGWuUsU4
No. I couldn't accept that the monster I saw... it couldn't be. It just couldn't.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7iw6nFSLb
"Weslyn Grayson, you are a Werewolf."
