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.805Please respect copyright.PENANACnIQESBtPZ
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAkSUC3tn9bL
Or so, I thought.805Please respect copyright.PENANA4un7Eg3eGu
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAaLiJRE9amE
The bell rang a second time, interrupting my thoughts.805Please respect copyright.PENANAIao8WQYRiA
"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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAgSfzSHFHjt
"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."805Please respect copyright.PENANA2PQcRwGKXf
I stared at him for a minute, strangely captivated and then, snapped out of my trance.805Please respect copyright.PENANA5hszyEgGvS
"I don't need protection," I practically growled. "There's nothing endangering me."805Please respect copyright.PENANAg3h9yAWDQP
"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." 805Please respect copyright.PENANApyJvANtjv5
That caught my attention, forcing me to turn around.805Please respect copyright.PENANAS7AATXgWDn
"Tell me," I demanded. 805Please respect copyright.PENANAxWSQbtoGpo
"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."805Please respect copyright.PENANAKJaDJdu4Gh
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?805Please respect copyright.PENANA5cc36jr80N
"Fine," I answered. "I'll let you defend me, as long as you tell me everything you know."805Please respect copyright.PENANAq8yrQz0Ven
"Give me your word."805Please respect copyright.PENANAn6jTmCrxqH
"I give you my word, you have the right to protect me," I promised. "Now tell me the truth."805Please respect copyright.PENANAHG7jwhO8ho
He smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.805Please respect copyright.PENANAOFZ10saIKQ
"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."805Please respect copyright.PENANATuL1nLuvqB
"But-"805Please respect copyright.PENANAw2l9JqwXMc
"Time for introductions," he interrupted, grinning. "I'm West Grayson- your brother. What about you, little sister?"805Please respect copyright.PENANAzfNTdopWxu
"I'm Weslyn Grayson," I responded drily. As if he didn't already know that.805Please respect copyright.PENANA6E4Yurpvrb
"Now its your turn to ask a question."805Please respect copyright.PENANAReCRpqW8et
"What happened to my parents?" I demanded. "How am I related to Gray Valley? Why am I connected to you?"805Please respect copyright.PENANAr5uZNcJrXP
"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...805Please respect copyright.PENANAmpMZ0mFCFe
"My name is not Wes," I gritted out. "Either tell me what you know, or I'll leave."805Please respect copyright.PENANAZTjye5TIhc
"I'd love to see you try," he smirked. 805Please respect copyright.PENANAUzWfQLB2yE
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANA0vSo7vMsYy
"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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAauLjoRXVbd
"How?"805Please respect copyright.PENANAMhivNNr0x7
"Mysterious, isn't it?" he chuckled. "Actually, when you think about it, it's quite unbelievable."805Please respect copyright.PENANAzAn3wcuI8c
"But, how?" I repeated, my eyes wide with shock. "How does it work?"805Please respect copyright.PENANAmOPfp9dUci
"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."805Please respect copyright.PENANA6xApJ91glW
"Really?" I couldn't believe he was that easily; I barely even tried. "Just like that?"805Please respect copyright.PENANA4j9z7pXEFr
"Just like that," he confirmed. "First of all, Wes, why do you think I teach Lycanthropy at a local high school?"805Please respect copyright.PENANAOeqorWJ76s
"In the name of Luna," I sighed, exasperated. "You're meant to be giving me answered, not more questions."805Please respect copyright.PENANAkzjeKtVvTD
"Trust me, Weslyn. Think about it. Try to remember. Find the answer to this and you'll automatically get all your answers."805Please respect copyright.PENANA2dP4mscgMs
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAGhUAqQFWAt
Familiar images flashed by, leaving no trace: deadly silence, tormenting children, lonely nights, endless gloom, insignificant events. And then I saw it...805Please respect copyright.PENANAnuUxqF8kiy
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. 805Please respect copyright.PENANARt1w6ptfTi
The truth was agonising.805Please respect copyright.PENANAXunq9G63wX
"Werewolves," I murmured. "They don't exist." He smiled slightly.805Please respect copyright.PENANAfDQKhmRVoy
"Don't pretend you didn't see that memory, Wes."805Please respect copyright.PENANAItY92pEUY6
"No its not true," I snapped. "There's no such thing as werewolves!"805Please respect copyright.PENANASj8oJBl5vQ
"Isn't there?"805Please respect copyright.PENANAPoiHOPZDOJ
"For the love of Luna! They don't exist!"805Please respect copyright.PENANAaBGW1GQM0q
"Don't lie, Weslyn Grayson," he hissed. "You remember, don't you? Seeing your reflection in the lake..."805Please respect copyright.PENANAHhG6I1GUsA
"That's not true!" I yelled. "I'm not a... I can't be a..."805Please respect copyright.PENANAuLPS54AI17
"On the contrary, that's exactly what you are," he smirked. 805Please respect copyright.PENANAQYMkemfpLr
No. I couldn't accept that the monster I saw... it couldn't be. It just couldn't.805Please respect copyright.PENANAGlP5x22tnl
"Weslyn Grayson, you are a Werewolf."
