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."
