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.copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqlspJVztA284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IhTnEFWvb
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.copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D6UC6KlTD284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvL9UTHWFU
Or so, I thought.copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUc5leNOcH284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubgAsK18Lx
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.copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlo94Ca4zy284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWpxqW8m1I
The bell rang a second time, interrupting my thoughts.copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpuv9p3YYW284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKshZeod2W8
"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.copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1CdUIeIM9284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0doJJ6Pjfa
"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."copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jvXg1IzCt284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZbAIWUr1p
I stared at him for a minute, strangely captivated and then, snapped out of my trance.copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb5xUBt99W284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH3STxsSUr
"I don't need protection," I practically growled. "There's nothing endangering me."copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2wc9JsaPb284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8raAMeHwGI
"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." copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoSxsHfhjh284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbJfa0eOuH
That caught my attention, forcing me to turn around.copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡTktZpQihu1284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqhqS9vH4L
"Tell me," I demanded. copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI7jgL7n9t284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUHYwlGnid
"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."copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZmmdzzdyd284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxIGPkE37a
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?copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTPwFRoL7x284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGLFPIB2dQ
"Fine," I answered. "I'll let you defend me, as long as you tell me everything you know."copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC3U3SLvKS284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DiCK3zEA4
"Give me your word."copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrAwBmb5rj284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibd4KwslGE
"I give you my word, you have the right to protect me," I promised. "Now tell me the truth."copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡclEIs7zDml284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwthrexiG9z
He smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQgyMAWRax284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CcAXppfRS
"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."copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUVosruJ5q284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPE5W5F6ot
"But-"copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdqt1MHXFu284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcbVJ3pbWL
"Time for introductions," he interrupted, grinning. "I'm West Grayson- your brother. What about you, little sister?"copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cAlWQAXwl284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFPJTniZ6Q
"I'm Weslyn Grayson," I responded drily. As if he didn't already know that.copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvmEXJJt8r284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6V2djqv8g
"Now its your turn to ask a question."copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6KKDc14hs284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrhxpofdUe
"What happened to my parents?" I demanded. "How am I related to Gray Valley? Why am I connected to you?"copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaQK1pC8m8284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90QsKAKsMk
"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...copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SOezTr9Dz284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49n0i87mvA
"My name is not Wes," I gritted out. "Either tell me what you know, or I'll leave."copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vrat0zhIh284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1PiuSAQAo
"I'd love to see you try," he smirked. copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlILyzGbrc284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUkkQ0Lu9w
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.copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjyKSNpNW9284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEfg3FjQM3
"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.copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHrjmKBhIK284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66UFn6tm5E
"How?"copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaCMn4rD0c284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV1jcy77a5
"Mysterious, isn't it?" he chuckled. "Actually, when you think about it, it's quite unbelievable."copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE3Tl9cVMV284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciTDph83kJ
"But, how?" I repeated, my eyes wide with shock. "How does it work?"copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i9t970Zus284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNIoNSyaD0
"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."copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhpTiaY77H284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvE2AdGKo5
"Really?" I couldn't believe he was that easily; I barely even tried. "Just like that?"copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1HpTAsdO0284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOIdSQV7HP
"Just like that," he confirmed. "First of all, Wes, why do you think I teach Lycanthropy at a local high school?"copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH5KjXCycL284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1jyaoTQOk
"In the name of Luna," I sighed, exasperated. "You're meant to be giving me answered, not more questions."copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡgptZKi9hrD284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry5MSS1B1J
"Trust me, Weslyn. Think about it. Try to remember. Find the answer to this and you'll automatically get all your answers."copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMqXiy1sDi284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj5E8K2R9X
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.copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4B89zTrk1284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDXrQuzXP7
Familiar images flashed by, leaving no trace: deadly silence, tormenting children, lonely nights, endless gloom, insignificant events. And then I saw it...copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vFI0JqGyg284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQUonihgjF
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. copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFlrsmYnUV284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW5SviP1oc
The truth was agonising.copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGrkcCSmoE284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuKuxEjKA7
"Werewolves," I murmured. "They don't exist." He smiled slightly.copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡu46GbqoHiE284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIStRvrJVND
"Don't pretend you didn't see that memory, Wes."copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfnRaRTuJn284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmCUxsC8XK
"No its not true," I snapped. "There's no such thing as werewolves!"copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4EeU1B2I4284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb1hDDMTuV
"Isn't there?"copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdkqL3cbLj284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMfQtfAf9M
"For the love of Luna! They don't exist!"copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN3rFXQd3s284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5ipgOqgDb
"Don't lie, Weslyn Grayson," he hissed. "You remember, don't you? Seeing your reflection in the lake..."copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn8hu9xxMK284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9OrsSW66R
"That's not true!" I yelled. "I'm not a... I can't be a..."copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xmq6lJALr284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl3t2TZsDt
"On the contrary, that's exactly what you are," he smirked. copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡoglrYiLuS6284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD7zBxVuoR
No. I couldn't accept that the monster I saw... it couldn't be. It just couldn't.copyright protection280ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EtMc3eKUT284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTuLVHfQFL
