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.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbhqM0hSuX
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.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEop0Jf6iut
Or so, I thought.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF66fAqEXZ
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.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50Y20Z8p6g
The bell rang a second time, interrupting my thoughts.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoolZNq2jiB
"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.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6TYz29RIw
"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."696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmBo9kOVDa
I stared at him for a minute, strangely captivated and then, snapped out of my trance.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBnwMkfHG8
"I don't need protection," I practically growled. "There's nothing endangering me."696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X1kKQSoUk
"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." 696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA9hjTKrs0
That caught my attention, forcing me to turn around.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eT0dCCF0s
"Tell me," I demanded. 696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqZ9cmUMJZ
"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."696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95rrHdIyuW
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?696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1xFXBVSmE
"Fine," I answered. "I'll let you defend me, as long as you tell me everything you know."696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DGH8ST41k
"Give me your word."696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rWqqZsPY9
"I give you my word, you have the right to protect me," I promised. "Now tell me the truth."696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WVERAX5fM
He smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl4SVdy4m0
"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."696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmry9kM9Y7m
"But-"696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXD2cJzDjn
"Time for introductions," he interrupted, grinning. "I'm West Grayson- your brother. What about you, little sister?"696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZtXO54fJX
"I'm Weslyn Grayson," I responded drily. As if he didn't already know that.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2KLnzwfLJ
"Now its your turn to ask a question."696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC1ymjZ74W
"What happened to my parents?" I demanded. "How am I related to Gray Valley? Why am I connected to you?"696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziCPnDxaSp
"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...696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaU6GBb9qW
"My name is not Wes," I gritted out. "Either tell me what you know, or I'll leave."696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn304nGPren
"I'd love to see you try," he smirked. 696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IiIo8RS0P
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.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtOg8dCX9i
"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.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgvmYkhvzA
"How?"696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnJWcW8YvW
"Mysterious, isn't it?" he chuckled. "Actually, when you think about it, it's quite unbelievable."696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpQE1ygz0N
"But, how?" I repeated, my eyes wide with shock. "How does it work?"696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjV1wLZbF6
"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."696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxUwZZJeA9
"Really?" I couldn't believe he was that easily; I barely even tried. "Just like that?"696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrRbjqxmQ9
"Just like that," he confirmed. "First of all, Wes, why do you think I teach Lycanthropy at a local high school?"696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HnJE6J5LV
"In the name of Luna," I sighed, exasperated. "You're meant to be giving me answered, not more questions."696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrO4ttzgJI
"Trust me, Weslyn. Think about it. Try to remember. Find the answer to this and you'll automatically get all your answers."696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1kEnyJ171
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.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfuaniAsCw
Familiar images flashed by, leaving no trace: deadly silence, tormenting children, lonely nights, endless gloom, insignificant events. And then I saw it...696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNPLyFXaHq
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. 696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMMgmKV29M
The truth was agonising.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUdahuqVNn
"Werewolves," I murmured. "They don't exist." He smiled slightly.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuL9EUO14F
"Don't pretend you didn't see that memory, Wes."696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhLz8H9rMw
"No its not true," I snapped. "There's no such thing as werewolves!"696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6wmIaa3Et
"Isn't there?"696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS9KVh9Ekx
"For the love of Luna! They don't exist!"696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueD1KU94kL
"Don't lie, Weslyn Grayson," he hissed. "You remember, don't you? Seeing your reflection in the lake..."696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoBtekiZ0D
"That's not true!" I yelled. "I'm not a... I can't be a..."696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgdbwKt4yO
"On the contrary, that's exactly what you are," he smirked. 696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGUNg0UDkV
No. I couldn't accept that the monster I saw... it couldn't be. It just couldn't.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLE6NtbqwN
"Weslyn Grayson, you are a Werewolf."
