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.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCBM4pr8yv
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.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiiRAtc2ny
Or so, I thought.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagXwCiZc3I
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.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCSFPrAko8
The bell rang a second time, interrupting my thoughts.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNE26rpzog
"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.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrFQkkqgaR
"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."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxJW7OAnQz
I stared at him for a minute, strangely captivated and then, snapped out of my trance.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLondzNRaRn
"I don't need protection," I practically growled. "There's nothing endangering me."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xeIFtjuLt
"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." 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlWTfh3tPm
That caught my attention, forcing me to turn around.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnc0suRalN
"Tell me," I demanded. 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6Lp9U7hMW
"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."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnzMUZ9rKf
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?897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wDBOTxufv
"Fine," I answered. "I'll let you defend me, as long as you tell me everything you know."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGplnr7dKUQ
"Give me your word."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PbG0t9ZEC
"I give you my word, you have the right to protect me," I promised. "Now tell me the truth."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL9BIlOAdi
He smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTpOi1ZA7T
"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."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYw6iDeQLk
"But-"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNTdD4gb5a
"Time for introductions," he interrupted, grinning. "I'm West Grayson- your brother. What about you, little sister?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptXcfvUUAr
"I'm Weslyn Grayson," I responded drily. As if he didn't already know that.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNyqBRivDd
"Now its your turn to ask a question."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLcA1j92Sw
"What happened to my parents?" I demanded. "How am I related to Gray Valley? Why am I connected to you?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuApjWMSUzy
"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...897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ0iyq5Ys7
"My name is not Wes," I gritted out. "Either tell me what you know, or I'll leave."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqjdcIKEE2
"I'd love to see you try," he smirked. 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUd36RA9b9
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.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH0DMuSDCI
"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.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz71u3SUWl
"How?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuxAmHvr8m
"Mysterious, isn't it?" he chuckled. "Actually, when you think about it, it's quite unbelievable."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxYlNCSPIO
"But, how?" I repeated, my eyes wide with shock. "How does it work?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59SHwrDiOI
"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."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqRgSTSoZP
"Really?" I couldn't believe he was that easily; I barely even tried. "Just like that?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75jXGpAvUG
"Just like that," he confirmed. "First of all, Wes, why do you think I teach Lycanthropy at a local high school?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskrSrZRgwv
"In the name of Luna," I sighed, exasperated. "You're meant to be giving me answered, not more questions."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn2avjq5GZ
"Trust me, Weslyn. Think about it. Try to remember. Find the answer to this and you'll automatically get all your answers."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyiWIYr9Vm
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.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsXgGhGyUx
Familiar images flashed by, leaving no trace: deadly silence, tormenting children, lonely nights, endless gloom, insignificant events. And then I saw it...897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7lPTb0Du1
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. 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDJU46KAGt
The truth was agonising.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnFZLaxYDQ
"Werewolves," I murmured. "They don't exist." He smiled slightly.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxHKZ1GZWU
"Don't pretend you didn't see that memory, Wes."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQmUPuNwLv
"No its not true," I snapped. "There's no such thing as werewolves!"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwhqNSnihX
"Isn't there?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihrYdoi6At
"For the love of Luna! They don't exist!"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QxaeUqnYn
"Don't lie, Weslyn Grayson," he hissed. "You remember, don't you? Seeing your reflection in the lake..."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuRfwaR8dK
"That's not true!" I yelled. "I'm not a... I can't be a..."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeaac4u3yG
"On the contrary, that's exactly what you are," he smirked. 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbHxH6CHQ3
No. I couldn't accept that the monster I saw... it couldn't be. It just couldn't.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrsKKnCj8e
"Weslyn Grayson, you are a Werewolf."
