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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvQQ6ZxvoY
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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34Xd55KOjo
Or so, I thought.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fEKE73HQZ
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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IZm1ijZao
The bell rang a second time, interrupting my thoughts.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqve8sBRr3
"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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL9pOyKol1
"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."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdeEgNCe8p
I stared at him for a minute, strangely captivated and then, snapped out of my trance.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e9P3PyaTA
"I don't need protection," I practically growled. "There's nothing endangering me."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDE9EtZXb1
"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." 775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXYKB8hxkz
That caught my attention, forcing me to turn around.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sVsOsvYeW
"Tell me," I demanded. 775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyNQR5xTXD
"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."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdUn0zFf3j
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?775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCnE0cDSFp
"Fine," I answered. "I'll let you defend me, as long as you tell me everything you know."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd5jKU9kXC
"Give me your word."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz4pXFBMnR
"I give you my word, you have the right to protect me," I promised. "Now tell me the truth."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXObo5TEgF
He smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWa3dVVPxl
"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."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5WlQoJAKG
"But-"775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYqza3q7Id
"Time for introductions," he interrupted, grinning. "I'm West Grayson- your brother. What about you, little sister?"775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvJyOENest
"I'm Weslyn Grayson," I responded drily. As if he didn't already know that.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sylxv9PEi
"Now its your turn to ask a question."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wl25OxSt8
"What happened to my parents?" I demanded. "How am I related to Gray Valley? Why am I connected to you?"775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRJdmDHEgh
"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...775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkEtUrqFyB
"My name is not Wes," I gritted out. "Either tell me what you know, or I'll leave."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeuj88mD9w
"I'd love to see you try," he smirked. 775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrDNqFO6xw
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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrh8Us30Gp
"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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgW3bCq5KM
"How?"775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjrc70fq9F
"Mysterious, isn't it?" he chuckled. "Actually, when you think about it, it's quite unbelievable."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkccL965ZB
"But, how?" I repeated, my eyes wide with shock. "How does it work?"775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI7dDaJ5Hl
"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."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7C7bhq978
"Really?" I couldn't believe he was that easily; I barely even tried. "Just like that?"775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJAA52unmd
"Just like that," he confirmed. "First of all, Wes, why do you think I teach Lycanthropy at a local high school?"775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQh0hnJo9P
"In the name of Luna," I sighed, exasperated. "You're meant to be giving me answered, not more questions."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpbqRT4Ope
"Trust me, Weslyn. Think about it. Try to remember. Find the answer to this and you'll automatically get all your answers."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz0Qn7YTTK
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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel0cwQBfPH
Familiar images flashed by, leaving no trace: deadly silence, tormenting children, lonely nights, endless gloom, insignificant events. And then I saw it...775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkYDSjr87M
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. 775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6Uof9aZ1N
The truth was agonising.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x66xud5oB
"Werewolves," I murmured. "They don't exist." He smiled slightly.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrnsVmfoiz
"Don't pretend you didn't see that memory, Wes."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk87jqQblm
"No its not true," I snapped. "There's no such thing as werewolves!"775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPraJeOduvE
"Isn't there?"775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YcLYVP8Ho
"For the love of Luna! They don't exist!"775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhMdDZDz4u
"Don't lie, Weslyn Grayson," he hissed. "You remember, don't you? Seeing your reflection in the lake..."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pz0f6jZiJ
"That's not true!" I yelled. "I'm not a... I can't be a..."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ54EX0WcVP
"On the contrary, that's exactly what you are," he smirked. 775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6S2C1QuJq
No. I couldn't accept that the monster I saw... it couldn't be. It just couldn't.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY37gEDhf95
"Weslyn Grayson, you are a Werewolf."
