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.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCS6PrgZnj
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.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxTdUeqrIS
Or so, I thought.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkfkbh5YHn
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.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGssveeanG
The bell rang a second time, interrupting my thoughts.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DPDKQBkWx
"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.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58X5NQezJi
"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."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW6L0Yq06v
I stared at him for a minute, strangely captivated and then, snapped out of my trance.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqTudlcKTI
"I don't need protection," I practically growled. "There's nothing endangering me."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyBE4w9YR4
"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." 894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxaAWndLWh
That caught my attention, forcing me to turn around.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2fz9495f8
"Tell me," I demanded. 894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznCspQhhTS
"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."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxrB6gfGzh
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?894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb72I96wVH6
"Fine," I answered. "I'll let you defend me, as long as you tell me everything you know."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoc5kZQUwe
"Give me your word."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9mAn5LJAp
"I give you my word, you have the right to protect me," I promised. "Now tell me the truth."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNL9i1HXeK
He smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEYKvV6yQl
"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."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7kICB64U8
"But-"894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRnKLkKxCb
"Time for introductions," he interrupted, grinning. "I'm West Grayson- your brother. What about you, little sister?"894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnxikgEU63
"I'm Weslyn Grayson," I responded drily. As if he didn't already know that.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA0w7FZkYy
"Now its your turn to ask a question."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjIveNXjSN
"What happened to my parents?" I demanded. "How am I related to Gray Valley? Why am I connected to you?"894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypJd1mWURl
"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...894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88ZlxOy1HD
"My name is not Wes," I gritted out. "Either tell me what you know, or I'll leave."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DDe30HCEN
"I'd love to see you try," he smirked. 894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG41YCOe7a7
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.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYRgnWQiFI
"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.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw99d9Ad2Ck
"How?"894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmF9oQZDCC
"Mysterious, isn't it?" he chuckled. "Actually, when you think about it, it's quite unbelievable."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPobdMjmjzF
"But, how?" I repeated, my eyes wide with shock. "How does it work?"894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpONdvGw7Ck
"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."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cLPZGvP5h
"Really?" I couldn't believe he was that easily; I barely even tried. "Just like that?"894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbJeDe8kcq
"Just like that," he confirmed. "First of all, Wes, why do you think I teach Lycanthropy at a local high school?"894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinIOAhhzAi
"In the name of Luna," I sighed, exasperated. "You're meant to be giving me answered, not more questions."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyc1mfxZZD
"Trust me, Weslyn. Think about it. Try to remember. Find the answer to this and you'll automatically get all your answers."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FEITZQIxu
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.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1VcbLjg4M
Familiar images flashed by, leaving no trace: deadly silence, tormenting children, lonely nights, endless gloom, insignificant events. And then I saw it...894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypqTJUFXad
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. 894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEnuaXP4eV
The truth was agonising.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWqZP9vj43
"Werewolves," I murmured. "They don't exist." He smiled slightly.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZi9JmhCAl
"Don't pretend you didn't see that memory, Wes."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny3VFQq7Ra
"No its not true," I snapped. "There's no such thing as werewolves!"894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu9vpmzw2S
"Isn't there?"894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwNGRmgJKu
"For the love of Luna! They don't exist!"894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9EYISVltX
"Don't lie, Weslyn Grayson," he hissed. "You remember, don't you? Seeing your reflection in the lake..."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk0Zy4hdLJ
"That's not true!" I yelled. "I'm not a... I can't be a..."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop1vdVAssI
"On the contrary, that's exactly what you are," he smirked. 894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3w9q4lfqg
No. I couldn't accept that the monster I saw... it couldn't be. It just couldn't.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezNq6uOJDK
"Weslyn Grayson, you are a Werewolf."
