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.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8kNogODzL
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.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62bn7HhjE2
Or so, I thought.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDef8kQP0Qi
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.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bo04K12qK
The bell rang a second time, interrupting my thoughts.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnORIYfO4uE
"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.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccax78Cf5f
"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."827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVyOiuqm9B
I stared at him for a minute, strangely captivated and then, snapped out of my trance.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHJQ3SsIT0
"I don't need protection," I practically growled. "There's nothing endangering me."827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0rrrj1eNH
"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." 827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWwWqFU8qc
That caught my attention, forcing me to turn around.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpkjmEHRZp
"Tell me," I demanded. 827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBHcR5i3zA
"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."827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdJQ543R1A
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?827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5ACxUe8V0
"Fine," I answered. "I'll let you defend me, as long as you tell me everything you know."827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFArBs8UKa
"Give me your word."827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOP3QDOBNB
"I give you my word, you have the right to protect me," I promised. "Now tell me the truth."827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrc5dqQeQQ
He smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCI1EEDBcT
"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."827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5kk7DVV2a
"But-"827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaOD4Jp3mG
"Time for introductions," he interrupted, grinning. "I'm West Grayson- your brother. What about you, little sister?"827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjhUBXAUQP
"I'm Weslyn Grayson," I responded drily. As if he didn't already know that.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIpCN0tSxv
"Now its your turn to ask a question."827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxtZWLD1uj
"What happened to my parents?" I demanded. "How am I related to Gray Valley? Why am I connected to you?"827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXcZvT3RX1
"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...827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU7L8du0IB
"My name is not Wes," I gritted out. "Either tell me what you know, or I'll leave."827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVUb7n9ZAK
"I'd love to see you try," he smirked. 827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8cdYkF514
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.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4JSro3NG8
"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.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQYU9EowaY
"How?"827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9duAhwnQ7O
"Mysterious, isn't it?" he chuckled. "Actually, when you think about it, it's quite unbelievable."827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWWB88fKPk
"But, how?" I repeated, my eyes wide with shock. "How does it work?"827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLznm15aRV
"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."827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw8GG7086C
"Really?" I couldn't believe he was that easily; I barely even tried. "Just like that?"827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMyoq6U7oa
"Just like that," he confirmed. "First of all, Wes, why do you think I teach Lycanthropy at a local high school?"827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c9iykgdrr
"In the name of Luna," I sighed, exasperated. "You're meant to be giving me answered, not more questions."827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB4qdLHEe7
"Trust me, Weslyn. Think about it. Try to remember. Find the answer to this and you'll automatically get all your answers."827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJKzdle85a
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.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxMQ495FGt
Familiar images flashed by, leaving no trace: deadly silence, tormenting children, lonely nights, endless gloom, insignificant events. And then I saw it...827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwaigjPLUF
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. 827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW7GV90sq5
The truth was agonising.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHZGxdd1ID
"Werewolves," I murmured. "They don't exist." He smiled slightly.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w84U99Pyn
"Don't pretend you didn't see that memory, Wes."827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NgAG74QJJ
"No its not true," I snapped. "There's no such thing as werewolves!"827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87Z5LkxbRm
"Isn't there?"827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsTWgUrxd5
"For the love of Luna! They don't exist!"827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5vgm5k3Nv
"Don't lie, Weslyn Grayson," he hissed. "You remember, don't you? Seeing your reflection in the lake..."827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E9Q9xzPBd
"That's not true!" I yelled. "I'm not a... I can't be a..."827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtG823dG7K
"On the contrary, that's exactly what you are," he smirked. 827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFvu4e7Shl
No. I couldn't accept that the monster I saw... it couldn't be. It just couldn't.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxS89azKL3
"Weslyn Grayson, you are a Werewolf."
