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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH64X9M6Yy
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vVuCjotHl
Or so, I thought.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KpUWm2EGd
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADChSRqqJC
The bell rang a second time, interrupting my thoughts.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDpzkZUjxn
"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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1tfvzh3Hd
"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."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgHjBN7hpA
I stared at him for a minute, strangely captivated and then, snapped out of my trance.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3bfJwKYAF
"I don't need protection," I practically growled. "There's nothing endangering me."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KcJyJ9gMw
"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." 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHoW6vw3I0
That caught my attention, forcing me to turn around.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE4TCwC577
"Tell me," I demanded. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSxVFIozqb
"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."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCwKlwMJX6
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?677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1m6qzL68Y
"Fine," I answered. "I'll let you defend me, as long as you tell me everything you know."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMltpcfmCM
"Give me your word."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNyTiFwlQx
"I give you my word, you have the right to protect me," I promised. "Now tell me the truth."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqrnbtq9LH
He smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmesNG1s0Kk
"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."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa7G3sCw68
"But-"677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7bk0cl91G
"Time for introductions," he interrupted, grinning. "I'm West Grayson- your brother. What about you, little sister?"677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVFatUWVIi
"I'm Weslyn Grayson," I responded drily. As if he didn't already know that.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaunrVVROM
"Now its your turn to ask a question."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPQk1oxP4a
"What happened to my parents?" I demanded. "How am I related to Gray Valley? Why am I connected to you?"677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIfDM8mMQK
"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...677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s7uQYpArk
"My name is not Wes," I gritted out. "Either tell me what you know, or I'll leave."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y276AVOfI
"I'd love to see you try," he smirked. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTP4ptmIX9
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmhbzHzObu
"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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0NXq32uqh
"How?"677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufdQmm2GnR
"Mysterious, isn't it?" he chuckled. "Actually, when you think about it, it's quite unbelievable."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz2LSsxAOl
"But, how?" I repeated, my eyes wide with shock. "How does it work?"677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdiJ3DM3aj
"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."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHvA6Gpdoj
"Really?" I couldn't believe he was that easily; I barely even tried. "Just like that?"677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXV2fpQ7MO
"Just like that," he confirmed. "First of all, Wes, why do you think I teach Lycanthropy at a local high school?"677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodm3shYc2b
"In the name of Luna," I sighed, exasperated. "You're meant to be giving me answered, not more questions."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUUsCjwzXR
"Trust me, Weslyn. Think about it. Try to remember. Find the answer to this and you'll automatically get all your answers."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBjITGauTK
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYONHak9fjc
Familiar images flashed by, leaving no trace: deadly silence, tormenting children, lonely nights, endless gloom, insignificant events. And then I saw it...677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJNqzHWm7C
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. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3Ww7StLyB
The truth was agonising.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D7xXcrzlm
"Werewolves," I murmured. "They don't exist." He smiled slightly.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptzCFJHfTC
"Don't pretend you didn't see that memory, Wes."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U4iZaDEoN
"No its not true," I snapped. "There's no such thing as werewolves!"677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhLY5vCE6x
"Isn't there?"677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXujYvUiVy6
"For the love of Luna! They don't exist!"677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo4MRZ9RPQ
"Don't lie, Weslyn Grayson," he hissed. "You remember, don't you? Seeing your reflection in the lake..."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UNhqucUTW
"That's not true!" I yelled. "I'm not a... I can't be a..."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4QlDnVIvU
"On the contrary, that's exactly what you are," he smirked. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb522QR0IZ
No. I couldn't accept that the monster I saw... it couldn't be. It just couldn't.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtycBEhoHAi
"Weslyn Grayson, you are a Werewolf."
