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.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEpTP4BNVj
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.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzLMtgVP4B
Or so, I thought.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUda2GwRhe
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.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bT3rrmvgS
The bell rang a second time, interrupting my thoughts.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr4bdl3mIp
"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.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORarzzKSBf
"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."780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7kCDek409
I stared at him for a minute, strangely captivated and then, snapped out of my trance.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u3kjumROC
"I don't need protection," I practically growled. "There's nothing endangering me."780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjr4v9N9v1
"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." 780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fy1TOoIP8
That caught my attention, forcing me to turn around.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSU7Yjko2L
"Tell me," I demanded. 780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6QsYSdofH
"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."780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyDjPk6OMw
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?780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVttX0gRjP
"Fine," I answered. "I'll let you defend me, as long as you tell me everything you know."780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcIWRKEB85
"Give me your word."780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAOIVtfqrw
"I give you my word, you have the right to protect me," I promised. "Now tell me the truth."780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK1WMp8uYb
He smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLPboMsZ9s
"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."780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhtXXt7l5f
"But-"780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmewvlYRm7O
"Time for introductions," he interrupted, grinning. "I'm West Grayson- your brother. What about you, little sister?"780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLcSjBUbis
"I'm Weslyn Grayson," I responded drily. As if he didn't already know that.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7kiCL3NjX
"Now its your turn to ask a question."780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxwJeylgeZ
"What happened to my parents?" I demanded. "How am I related to Gray Valley? Why am I connected to you?"780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWri5oxeEdb
"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...780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkDDFNQXnE
"My name is not Wes," I gritted out. "Either tell me what you know, or I'll leave."780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhjQUJLCN0
"I'd love to see you try," he smirked. 780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDY4gi5MB2
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.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FfSwlvsHw
"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.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkHo8rDdVs
"How?"780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcjtbCwGlG
"Mysterious, isn't it?" he chuckled. "Actually, when you think about it, it's quite unbelievable."780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbkrgTmtK5
"But, how?" I repeated, my eyes wide with shock. "How does it work?"780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwwiS106wT
"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."780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyGrUoxVUv
"Really?" I couldn't believe he was that easily; I barely even tried. "Just like that?"780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSvq5EPJji
"Just like that," he confirmed. "First of all, Wes, why do you think I teach Lycanthropy at a local high school?"780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E8mAijByM
"In the name of Luna," I sighed, exasperated. "You're meant to be giving me answered, not more questions."780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu7PoI7NV2
"Trust me, Weslyn. Think about it. Try to remember. Find the answer to this and you'll automatically get all your answers."780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXogAoOx3kd
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.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFisp61Jvf
Familiar images flashed by, leaving no trace: deadly silence, tormenting children, lonely nights, endless gloom, insignificant events. And then I saw it...780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyM89bAUOi
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. 780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp4mcwHpbN
The truth was agonising.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9COBBtEqk2
"Werewolves," I murmured. "They don't exist." He smiled slightly.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruXLSE0chy
"Don't pretend you didn't see that memory, Wes."780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZJx8JNIXD
"No its not true," I snapped. "There's no such thing as werewolves!"780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWQaTykjEb
"Isn't there?"780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf2WL27RDU
"For the love of Luna! They don't exist!"780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuheAOcInIT
"Don't lie, Weslyn Grayson," he hissed. "You remember, don't you? Seeing your reflection in the lake..."780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksgeU7uzGk
"That's not true!" I yelled. "I'm not a... I can't be a..."780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KpDfPwhn5
"On the contrary, that's exactly what you are," he smirked. 780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn6kYjtwap
No. I couldn't accept that the monster I saw... it couldn't be. It just couldn't.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefTugCjPjn
"Weslyn Grayson, you are a Werewolf."
