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
