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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75aRUSjg3W
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLzFnKh10q
Or so, I thought.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWw7LrFMXY
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsbQltQGN7
The bell rang a second time, interrupting my thoughts.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGAlEkBuZx
"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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvBSMZEokN
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23t49DEune
I stared at him for a minute, strangely captivated and then, snapped out of my trance.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wqbqxd4kT
"I don't need protection," I practically growled. "There's nothing endangering me."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxwcTIrRnC
"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." 851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGmCrPza51
That caught my attention, forcing me to turn around.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N5TMFzmg1
"Tell me," I demanded. 851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHggjyUKQe
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL17ktMC5Mf
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?851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY02ETLFP0
"Fine," I answered. "I'll let you defend me, as long as you tell me everything you know."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4UB5fTMjJ
"Give me your word."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94bgWlbHwQ
"I give you my word, you have the right to protect me," I promised. "Now tell me the truth."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Y0hWTXEz
He smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bfwYHCN35
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuFw9kbtC2
"But-"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep4QGpQHHu
"Time for introductions," he interrupted, grinning. "I'm West Grayson- your brother. What about you, little sister?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuwBJQXnQV
"I'm Weslyn Grayson," I responded drily. As if he didn't already know that.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYZDSKRbLv
"Now its your turn to ask a question."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ456KkPKVyf
"What happened to my parents?" I demanded. "How am I related to Gray Valley? Why am I connected to you?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5esh9WvurQ
"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...851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHr0fAQX1P
"My name is not Wes," I gritted out. "Either tell me what you know, or I'll leave."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpePgqzZtJ
"I'd love to see you try," he smirked. 851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT9soDWe99
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgN3F6dLaT
"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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUdbb6ltuK
"How?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoOSL6pU7r
"Mysterious, isn't it?" he chuckled. "Actually, when you think about it, it's quite unbelievable."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfOQhJm63z
"But, how?" I repeated, my eyes wide with shock. "How does it work?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpuS6ujzAn
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmLgAqmuXl
"Really?" I couldn't believe he was that easily; I barely even tried. "Just like that?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7LMfVU1q9
"Just like that," he confirmed. "First of all, Wes, why do you think I teach Lycanthropy at a local high school?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOj6wBz8AR
"In the name of Luna," I sighed, exasperated. "You're meant to be giving me answered, not more questions."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWnyuM9bEX
"Trust me, Weslyn. Think about it. Try to remember. Find the answer to this and you'll automatically get all your answers."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98oF6PahzZ
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE8c0TzD2J
Familiar images flashed by, leaving no trace: deadly silence, tormenting children, lonely nights, endless gloom, insignificant events. And then I saw it...851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rfL2HwDfR
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. 851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KahkAIDst
The truth was agonising.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC85MWYEZ6M
"Werewolves," I murmured. "They don't exist." He smiled slightly.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uSfab4FCZ
"Don't pretend you didn't see that memory, Wes."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjz6tHoU4S
"No its not true," I snapped. "There's no such thing as werewolves!"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWZPDoAQlk
"Isn't there?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FcF09VPiW
"For the love of Luna! They don't exist!"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnWSxlFwGB
"Don't lie, Weslyn Grayson," he hissed. "You remember, don't you? Seeing your reflection in the lake..."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXaM1V8jDc
"That's not true!" I yelled. "I'm not a... I can't be a..."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaF7S1lGPx
"On the contrary, that's exactly what you are," he smirked. 851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90OFrtlcTl
No. I couldn't accept that the monster I saw... it couldn't be. It just couldn't.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRbWdWZjiZ
"Weslyn Grayson, you are a Werewolf."
