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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7r01d3Gxl
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IRvo5xJui
Or so, I thought.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwbk8Hl713
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwXLLrPpqN
The bell rang a second time, interrupting my thoughts.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ193Yj62KXn
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin5eMXyrIO
"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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QYuFq6ezZ
I stared at him for a minute, strangely captivated and then, snapped out of my trance.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcab6DnmA3N
"I don't need protection," I practically growled. "There's nothing endangering me."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb9esteMUX
"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." 748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIw80c1Zfu
That caught my attention, forcing me to turn around.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fznRVWlLb
"Tell me," I demanded. 748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghElXBVuRk
"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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTDozDKq4z
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?748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMfOO6Qoud
"Fine," I answered. "I'll let you defend me, as long as you tell me everything you know."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0HCeZ10Lv
"Give me your word."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZYwS06O63
"I give you my word, you have the right to protect me," I promised. "Now tell me the truth."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVHKTDLI8g
He smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KDFuQ9LiW
"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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlejYF0wtb
"But-"748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8ZsuRKgrr
"Time for introductions," he interrupted, grinning. "I'm West Grayson- your brother. What about you, little sister?"748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYsHcJoaRf
"I'm Weslyn Grayson," I responded drily. As if he didn't already know that.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D0lTHBLGj
"Now its your turn to ask a question."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ11PVbju1
"What happened to my parents?" I demanded. "How am I related to Gray Valley? Why am I connected to you?"748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyQZosj24G
"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...748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPac679ebWc
"My name is not Wes," I gritted out. "Either tell me what you know, or I'll leave."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZUJpzHQDs
"I'd love to see you try," he smirked. 748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJvkWh1oTq
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KJZS6Lkye
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFlJJftJyq
"How?"748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wiX8u6upW
"Mysterious, isn't it?" he chuckled. "Actually, when you think about it, it's quite unbelievable."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yxz9BkLqA
"But, how?" I repeated, my eyes wide with shock. "How does it work?"748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7glA70s2m3
"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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasUUgbnumi
"Really?" I couldn't believe he was that easily; I barely even tried. "Just like that?"748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz2BsUJlws
"Just like that," he confirmed. "First of all, Wes, why do you think I teach Lycanthropy at a local high school?"748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qnUc8yCGH
"In the name of Luna," I sighed, exasperated. "You're meant to be giving me answered, not more questions."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR7zWMB9LS
"Trust me, Weslyn. Think about it. Try to remember. Find the answer to this and you'll automatically get all your answers."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinuaAjcbLt
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4HAQGLtXL
Familiar images flashed by, leaving no trace: deadly silence, tormenting children, lonely nights, endless gloom, insignificant events. And then I saw it...748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5rFC8aego
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. 748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqmwhMm1nb
The truth was agonising.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzBZGb68SJ
"Werewolves," I murmured. "They don't exist." He smiled slightly.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarr2nq2T9y
"Don't pretend you didn't see that memory, Wes."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26ZDegMF62
"No its not true," I snapped. "There's no such thing as werewolves!"748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ihxonC0PM
"Isn't there?"748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYceG6csz9p
"For the love of Luna! They don't exist!"748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Yrej40A04
"Don't lie, Weslyn Grayson," he hissed. "You remember, don't you? Seeing your reflection in the lake..."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1sv8VOFCp
"That's not true!" I yelled. "I'm not a... I can't be a..."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnitldyfIhF
"On the contrary, that's exactly what you are," he smirked. 748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4tgKNZn83
No. I couldn't accept that the monster I saw... it couldn't be. It just couldn't.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U5trT7FMI
"Weslyn Grayson, you are a Werewolf."
