We were connected.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxRWvj0hpY
As weird as it seemed, I shared a bond with my new lycanthropy teacher, Mr Grayson, from the moment I met him.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YdHPOByXx
"I've been waiting for you for many years, Weslyn." I stared up at him, a strange blend of curiosity and confusion filling me. "The last time I saw you, you were barely 9 years old."698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq581PoqosW
9 years old. The start of my memories. For years I tried mindlessly to remember my childhood before that age, only to be attacked by pain, that burst at the sides of my head. It was almost unreal; impossible. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13b0NUCGJ2
When I started to question it, my mother told me of the hit and run accident that killed my father and gave me amnesia. The explanation made perfect sense. It even justified the long scar that ran along my back; almost as if I had been slashed open with a blade.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX9AC4ZiWf
But after finding out my mother had went through so much caution to hide my birth place from me, I had no way in believing what she said.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UbTuv4ulh
There was only one way to find out the truth. It was, after all, the reason I had come to Gray Valley in the first place.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwIyWGeam1
"By Luna, you know me?" I asked, not particularly surprised. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenpav6NKuJ
After arriving in the town, I had so many strange experiences, I doubted I would be astonished by anything.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSrFwP4M0X
"You could say that."698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB88RPkrc2
"What can you tell me about my father and mother?" I demanded. He raised an eyebrow scornfully.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUD32CF65j
"What makes you think I'll tell you anything?"698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjdxPiz1ca
My mind spun, as I realised he was right. What did I have that could possibly make me get him spill what he knew? I had no way of leverage on him or anyone. Gritting my teeth, I looked down and saw his hand gripping my wrist. And then, it clicked.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevRM5GGWMZ
"You're touching your student," I replied. "I can get you fired for that." 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtP1YtQUVJ
His eyes met mine and to my astonished, he recoiled. I guess I was wrong. Some things would never fail to surprise me. He released my arm from his hold.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp19v7qSMl
"You're father and mother were Wesley and Lianna Grayson," he started. "They were both born and brought up in Gray Valley. So was I... and you."698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazgiYuq04b
"Me?" Once again, this confused me. "I was brought up here?"698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2m2ZiOkbU
"But of course," his smirk returned. "You wouldn't remember, would you?" I stared at him. What was he going on about? "So tell me, what was the pathetic cover story your mother gave you for moving states away from your birth place. Not to mention, of course, your significant memory loss..."698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO4aPaTZnz
"It was no cover story," I bit out. "My father died in a hit and run accident that injured my mother and I. I had amnesia from the crushing my skull onto the car door and the glass shards slashed my back, which is why I have-"698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1LlyuyMxA
"Clever," he interrupted. "That was extremely clever of her. The fact that she justified the scar made it a whole lot more believable, didn't it Weslyn?" 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LUB54KTRj
I furrowed my eyebrows, as I recalled the time she told me of the accident. She had added my back being slashed several minutes afterwards; almost like an afterthought. Back then, it made sense that she was reluctant to speak of it but now that the doubt was planted, there was no way I could trust her completely.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBco7ozbv9
"It did," I admitted. "I could believe her more when she explained the scar... but if she was really lying..." Who can I put my faith in? 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfooX7wNpzE
"You don't know who to trust anymore," he finished. My lips parted at his statement. How did he know exactly what I was thinking. "You can believe me." 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C9JXO9sSA
I carefully studied at the man before me. His stormy, gray eyes fixed with unfathomable intensity; deafeningly black hair, darker than the night sky; smooth ivory skin shone with determination. Nothing about him made me feel I couldn't trust him but at the same time, I didn't feel I could either.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ831Fgvk0Ta
So I asked him.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakdFuU9HCW
"Why should I trust you?"698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAyGxho9On
"I want to protect you, Weslyn; save you. I'm not going to let anyone else hurt you." 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS1GicBNG0
Again, it didn't make sense. I didn't even know him, yet he claimed to want to defend me from danger. Who was he? What did he know of my past? But most of all what was there for me to be protected from?698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT2bFs48lO
"But, why?" I repeated. "Why defend me?"698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XQuToiEF7
This time, he smiled. Not smirk, but a genuine smile.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV5oWhwCs8
"I thought you would have figured it out by now, Weslyn. Surely I wasn't the only one who felt the bond. Even if you are missing memories... surely, you can't have forgotten your family."698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKhyovOEGa
"W-what?" I stuttered. family. Just the word itself made hope flutter in my stomach. "W-who are y-you?"698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99jVjsamVG
Family. There was something in the way he uttered the words... Almost knowing.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRhV0mqLyq
Maybe, I wasn't lost. Maybe I was exactly where I needed to be.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83xxwGDCuI
"I may not seem it, but I've missed you, my little sister."
