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.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sgHxXa42d
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.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizxjn6jXN6
Or so, I thought.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oGeeLtHj6
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.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3tLYzM6Fr
The bell rang a second time, interrupting my thoughts.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw809fljEF6
"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.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2m3XIZPSJ
"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."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAWaSO6CxV
I stared at him for a minute, strangely captivated and then, snapped out of my trance.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz5z9gYlv8
"I don't need protection," I practically growled. "There's nothing endangering me."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjCD4a672t
"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." 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9MY87T0zd
That caught my attention, forcing me to turn around.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XtJpTJKOM
"Tell me," I demanded. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TNR1rWD0L
"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."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngj5urXqVe
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?778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf80HQhVHzJ
"Fine," I answered. "I'll let you defend me, as long as you tell me everything you know."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIX14l5jOZ
"Give me your word."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jDUVOug8F
"I give you my word, you have the right to protect me," I promised. "Now tell me the truth."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNDQVkGJk8
He smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6qGo50HdV
"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."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWWp3uxLJf
"But-"778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIJhSRwRwy
"Time for introductions," he interrupted, grinning. "I'm West Grayson- your brother. What about you, little sister?"778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AncbEHZY3
"I'm Weslyn Grayson," I responded drily. As if he didn't already know that.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKKonihG1O
"Now its your turn to ask a question."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEQ8pEvv5Q
"What happened to my parents?" I demanded. "How am I related to Gray Valley? Why am I connected to you?"778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFde4ppgaEW
"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...778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8r38xpbBU
"My name is not Wes," I gritted out. "Either tell me what you know, or I'll leave."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cSSecnP4e
"I'd love to see you try," he smirked. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyEihYcga0
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.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLQ2Nz0HMY
"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.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnHlFZBRsK
"How?"778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ96HZaVz2
"Mysterious, isn't it?" he chuckled. "Actually, when you think about it, it's quite unbelievable."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX6oiAYPHq
"But, how?" I repeated, my eyes wide with shock. "How does it work?"778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWz6yQaUFU
"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."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jr26WHT1W
"Really?" I couldn't believe he was that easily; I barely even tried. "Just like that?"778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetLVVG6qhO
"Just like that," he confirmed. "First of all, Wes, why do you think I teach Lycanthropy at a local high school?"778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0rJKuVXkM
"In the name of Luna," I sighed, exasperated. "You're meant to be giving me answered, not more questions."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sN7Qq4TM7
"Trust me, Weslyn. Think about it. Try to remember. Find the answer to this and you'll automatically get all your answers."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIttSGfv6TJ
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.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIKcjvHXrj
Familiar images flashed by, leaving no trace: deadly silence, tormenting children, lonely nights, endless gloom, insignificant events. And then I saw it...778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1SqbZ3FaZ
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. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkWKGKkCAD
The truth was agonising.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5JPHrhxsa
"Werewolves," I murmured. "They don't exist." He smiled slightly.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6XBhr8EpR
"Don't pretend you didn't see that memory, Wes."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkwZ8KZYX2
"No its not true," I snapped. "There's no such thing as werewolves!"778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYpXNQfAwc
"Isn't there?"778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n8kJAlyN6
"For the love of Luna! They don't exist!"778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5Bknr9U6U
"Don't lie, Weslyn Grayson," he hissed. "You remember, don't you? Seeing your reflection in the lake..."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLuQrPIbUR
"That's not true!" I yelled. "I'm not a... I can't be a..."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLxL1wnEdF
"On the contrary, that's exactly what you are," he smirked. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcCzLBH76E
No. I couldn't accept that the monster I saw... it couldn't be. It just couldn't.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr5IUkqp3L
"Weslyn Grayson, you are a Werewolf."
