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.881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gOa9SIZYv
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.881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPJE9vo0Mc
Or so, I thought.881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXmrfAx5gw
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.881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMii3TMi9t3
The bell rang a second time, interrupting my thoughts.881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDe2VArtwt
"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.881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMOdbnmrid
"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."881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSEn2h4qh7
I stared at him for a minute, strangely captivated and then, snapped out of my trance.881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCmDaDz2V2
"I don't need protection," I practically growled. "There's nothing endangering me."881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKBTHyBvo0
"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." 881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1fxbKsskM
That caught my attention, forcing me to turn around.881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VTJ806QJr
"Tell me," I demanded. 881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapRR5zkayt
"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."881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRUz6JLAYr
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?881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1UAuMjREe
"Fine," I answered. "I'll let you defend me, as long as you tell me everything you know."881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgnDT11WeW
"Give me your word."881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy3f8nlvtc
"I give you my word, you have the right to protect me," I promised. "Now tell me the truth."881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zYjzhj92v
He smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScOQacGkpC
"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."881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUyyiCWzQB
"But-"881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZsx8KUtVn
"Time for introductions," he interrupted, grinning. "I'm West Grayson- your brother. What about you, little sister?"881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zpLdJNt2Q
"I'm Weslyn Grayson," I responded drily. As if he didn't already know that.881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFBVV2kmiq
"Now its your turn to ask a question."881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbewiPJ54Y1
"What happened to my parents?" I demanded. "How am I related to Gray Valley? Why am I connected to you?"881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRAhpTBVWm
"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...881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QzvdeRFyz
"My name is not Wes," I gritted out. "Either tell me what you know, or I'll leave."881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk0bR7ciLL
"I'd love to see you try," he smirked. 881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2xk9PLPD0
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.881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU5mcj4Hmj
"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.881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD5JZS6PeT
"How?"881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGI1sbmSS0
"Mysterious, isn't it?" he chuckled. "Actually, when you think about it, it's quite unbelievable."881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr7eEchf7W
"But, how?" I repeated, my eyes wide with shock. "How does it work?"881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2LHeOj9EL
"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."881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8xwOVOvZ2
"Really?" I couldn't believe he was that easily; I barely even tried. "Just like that?"881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoW6wF8rev
"Just like that," he confirmed. "First of all, Wes, why do you think I teach Lycanthropy at a local high school?"881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwcr3XZpfa
"In the name of Luna," I sighed, exasperated. "You're meant to be giving me answered, not more questions."881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotYUpzrxec
"Trust me, Weslyn. Think about it. Try to remember. Find the answer to this and you'll automatically get all your answers."881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OMsdYIfQP
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.881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe728lV8sJn
Familiar images flashed by, leaving no trace: deadly silence, tormenting children, lonely nights, endless gloom, insignificant events. And then I saw it...881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3SFxDBfpp
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. 881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FEneaNxCf
The truth was agonising.881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QK7m2dTwb
"Werewolves," I murmured. "They don't exist." He smiled slightly.881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ27YsiCIbT
"Don't pretend you didn't see that memory, Wes."881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeawUjjKUZu
"No its not true," I snapped. "There's no such thing as werewolves!"881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHSXUwrE4K
"Isn't there?"881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZaglrMLHd
"For the love of Luna! They don't exist!"881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7ou2t1DLZ
"Don't lie, Weslyn Grayson," he hissed. "You remember, don't you? Seeing your reflection in the lake..."881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjcTT4IHjv
"That's not true!" I yelled. "I'm not a... I can't be a..."881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOd5UwVZ5p
"On the contrary, that's exactly what you are," he smirked. 881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CmFZUpwXK
No. I couldn't accept that the monster I saw... it couldn't be. It just couldn't.881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcZ1DpOkk6
"Weslyn Grayson, you are a Werewolf."
