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.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZDVj2uCYH
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.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi72GjgSj2
Or so, I thought.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9hoyRkYw2
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.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiRrtp68u4
The bell rang a second time, interrupting my thoughts.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzPfrjtueR
"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.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJg9VnY3lb
"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."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLViQgVgSf
I stared at him for a minute, strangely captivated and then, snapped out of my trance.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9aoOPsmfA
"I don't need protection," I practically growled. "There's nothing endangering me."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd0FKUZi5b
"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." 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6ikFTSxhk
That caught my attention, forcing me to turn around.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySyLiSoM4S
"Tell me," I demanded. 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevBSet6pFQ
"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."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyUszaUAkl
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?873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KryQcutJH
"Fine," I answered. "I'll let you defend me, as long as you tell me everything you know."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWlbNXaIX0
"Give me your word."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX45E47vFk
"I give you my word, you have the right to protect me," I promised. "Now tell me the truth."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vNspsC4pg
He smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2pinpRsef
"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."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADlH7NdRQI
"But-"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRr3ZBWECi
"Time for introductions," he interrupted, grinning. "I'm West Grayson- your brother. What about you, little sister?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1viM0YlpN
"I'm Weslyn Grayson," I responded drily. As if he didn't already know that.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB1zvxc7SJ
"Now its your turn to ask a question."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDYBsKkRXZ
"What happened to my parents?" I demanded. "How am I related to Gray Valley? Why am I connected to you?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsmHk90XSn
"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...873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHHb94Rssj
"My name is not Wes," I gritted out. "Either tell me what you know, or I'll leave."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5CWfQpZ8F
"I'd love to see you try," he smirked. 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEML3WureK
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.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy3LFnIrSw
"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.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKO2KzqLbB
"How?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08TxmqhO6W
"Mysterious, isn't it?" he chuckled. "Actually, when you think about it, it's quite unbelievable."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxrL8JljdO
"But, how?" I repeated, my eyes wide with shock. "How does it work?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUuEbq7cRq
"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."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVACuzeARA
"Really?" I couldn't believe he was that easily; I barely even tried. "Just like that?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL1AAVOFAo
"Just like that," he confirmed. "First of all, Wes, why do you think I teach Lycanthropy at a local high school?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbusOvt6Xp
"In the name of Luna," I sighed, exasperated. "You're meant to be giving me answered, not more questions."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaQTPnBzKa
"Trust me, Weslyn. Think about it. Try to remember. Find the answer to this and you'll automatically get all your answers."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtEZiV60YH
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.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV7mswRsu3
Familiar images flashed by, leaving no trace: deadly silence, tormenting children, lonely nights, endless gloom, insignificant events. And then I saw it...873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgVxRZc6pW
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. 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfvKCkytuv
The truth was agonising.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonF5raz11I
"Werewolves," I murmured. "They don't exist." He smiled slightly.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl22sIKPPf
"Don't pretend you didn't see that memory, Wes."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGca9YqUVQ
"No its not true," I snapped. "There's no such thing as werewolves!"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnp5kqJYw2
"Isn't there?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN5axYurW0
"For the love of Luna! They don't exist!"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cPWOZA4MS
"Don't lie, Weslyn Grayson," he hissed. "You remember, don't you? Seeing your reflection in the lake..."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7qzbHOvB5
"That's not true!" I yelled. "I'm not a... I can't be a..."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmq1xURedy
"On the contrary, that's exactly what you are," he smirked. 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn6DmgtJmV
No. I couldn't accept that the monster I saw... it couldn't be. It just couldn't.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcuqQdvdMQ
"Weslyn Grayson, you are a Werewolf."
