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.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpHnWJoGZX
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.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilSDNg1CEf
Or so, I thought.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYu6NpUAW7
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.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvLp6zWFlY
The bell rang a second time, interrupting my thoughts.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCY3ehwbl1
"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.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQdEcDm1Lr
"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."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pgTl1BuXB
I stared at him for a minute, strangely captivated and then, snapped out of my trance.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjmLlugV6n
"I don't need protection," I practically growled. "There's nothing endangering me."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxaedJCPP4
"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." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraZL8Atl8f
That caught my attention, forcing me to turn around.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqSuEoObXJ
"Tell me," I demanded. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcM3pF526H
"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."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEk7r84kbZ
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?854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I478NIinS
"Fine," I answered. "I'll let you defend me, as long as you tell me everything you know."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp8UQUTbet
"Give me your word."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUU61jpPLG
"I give you my word, you have the right to protect me," I promised. "Now tell me the truth."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH3Kuheiyk
He smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv45WXxo4o
"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."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssEJN7Bnbh
"But-"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWngIa199w
"Time for introductions," he interrupted, grinning. "I'm West Grayson- your brother. What about you, little sister?"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKqD39NQ4u
"I'm Weslyn Grayson," I responded drily. As if he didn't already know that.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsnr683D1E
"Now its your turn to ask a question."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVHbjR9tjb
"What happened to my parents?" I demanded. "How am I related to Gray Valley? Why am I connected to you?"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmtVDxiID4
"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...854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErOiQolZPT
"My name is not Wes," I gritted out. "Either tell me what you know, or I'll leave."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYRZB6d6j5
"I'd love to see you try," he smirked. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDXr5DMleP
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.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmxGBY7M47
"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.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tWB2LLWyo
"How?"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29tMnC6fHN
"Mysterious, isn't it?" he chuckled. "Actually, when you think about it, it's quite unbelievable."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nsw0hg7PZ
"But, how?" I repeated, my eyes wide with shock. "How does it work?"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBfvdHkzFB
"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."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77SYib6qkh
"Really?" I couldn't believe he was that easily; I barely even tried. "Just like that?"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvezMK1lrw
"Just like that," he confirmed. "First of all, Wes, why do you think I teach Lycanthropy at a local high school?"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoKUFsfcDV
"In the name of Luna," I sighed, exasperated. "You're meant to be giving me answered, not more questions."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxSMs9Nniy
"Trust me, Weslyn. Think about it. Try to remember. Find the answer to this and you'll automatically get all your answers."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjupWPqR2W7
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.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5fYBBNr1w
Familiar images flashed by, leaving no trace: deadly silence, tormenting children, lonely nights, endless gloom, insignificant events. And then I saw it...854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2p8vGl0yw
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. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxC5TmoDBJ
The truth was agonising.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsNvgJj16e
"Werewolves," I murmured. "They don't exist." He smiled slightly.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWff046DfGN
"Don't pretend you didn't see that memory, Wes."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGCVC3W18x
"No its not true," I snapped. "There's no such thing as werewolves!"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EDpTituew
"Isn't there?"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5UG5HhA5c
"For the love of Luna! They don't exist!"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqio90vaThk
"Don't lie, Weslyn Grayson," he hissed. "You remember, don't you? Seeing your reflection in the lake..."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M3WP2kTi7
"That's not true!" I yelled. "I'm not a... I can't be a..."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISg4mmKbuN
"On the contrary, that's exactly what you are," he smirked. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXkWdVSBE6
No. I couldn't accept that the monster I saw... it couldn't be. It just couldn't.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasRFGzYH3N
"Weslyn Grayson, you are a Werewolf."
