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.571Please respect copyright.PENANAqzCQih1KfV
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.571Please respect copyright.PENANAdrocsMVXhX
Or so, I thought.571Please respect copyright.PENANAZS2zpTS76n
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.571Please respect copyright.PENANALtL0OvCzkh
The bell rang a second time, interrupting my thoughts.571Please respect copyright.PENANAXqtIBdfWOO
"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.571Please respect copyright.PENANABW97NeMaFw
"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."571Please respect copyright.PENANAkANaY3tUtj
I stared at him for a minute, strangely captivated and then, snapped out of my trance.571Please respect copyright.PENANArdQbQgN8s3
"I don't need protection," I practically growled. "There's nothing endangering me."571Please respect copyright.PENANAtZWqLsnAst
"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." 571Please respect copyright.PENANAG1FWIKcxql
That caught my attention, forcing me to turn around.571Please respect copyright.PENANA3dtQC07cJS
"Tell me," I demanded. 571Please respect copyright.PENANAyFIjho3ypT
"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."571Please respect copyright.PENANARjBmUx04cS
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?571Please respect copyright.PENANA2Q7K3zmqLm
"Fine," I answered. "I'll let you defend me, as long as you tell me everything you know."571Please respect copyright.PENANAH1LcsI0AwF
"Give me your word."571Please respect copyright.PENANAr6eFKxdPBy
"I give you my word, you have the right to protect me," I promised. "Now tell me the truth."571Please respect copyright.PENANA7TLO48lJ85
He smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.571Please respect copyright.PENANAhYrBvTNgHq
"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."571Please respect copyright.PENANAcsVhkvQXuX
"But-"571Please respect copyright.PENANAi50Y712v9W
"Time for introductions," he interrupted, grinning. "I'm West Grayson- your brother. What about you, little sister?"571Please respect copyright.PENANAmOyQFWAuXw
"I'm Weslyn Grayson," I responded drily. As if he didn't already know that.571Please respect copyright.PENANAJtuTKOnayt
"Now its your turn to ask a question."571Please respect copyright.PENANA2et4UXQefE
"What happened to my parents?" I demanded. "How am I related to Gray Valley? Why am I connected to you?"571Please respect copyright.PENANAsO8ut1Hbvk
"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...571Please respect copyright.PENANABfBi1p2IuR
"My name is not Wes," I gritted out. "Either tell me what you know, or I'll leave."571Please respect copyright.PENANAqYz5bBMyda
"I'd love to see you try," he smirked. 571Please respect copyright.PENANAqrnlBXIpEg
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.571Please respect copyright.PENANAOiS6R7LA4y
"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.571Please respect copyright.PENANAEYlBlkaHJ1
"How?"571Please respect copyright.PENANAKrQbxIZf1S
"Mysterious, isn't it?" he chuckled. "Actually, when you think about it, it's quite unbelievable."571Please respect copyright.PENANA8SA4riOfJl
"But, how?" I repeated, my eyes wide with shock. "How does it work?"571Please respect copyright.PENANAHvcaXc2BFB
"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."571Please respect copyright.PENANAqOZvwRv6th
"Really?" I couldn't believe he was that easily; I barely even tried. "Just like that?"571Please respect copyright.PENANATg5spXTwMi
"Just like that," he confirmed. "First of all, Wes, why do you think I teach Lycanthropy at a local high school?"571Please respect copyright.PENANAn5aMVD9xwB
"In the name of Luna," I sighed, exasperated. "You're meant to be giving me answered, not more questions."571Please respect copyright.PENANAlpMhouihEA
"Trust me, Weslyn. Think about it. Try to remember. Find the answer to this and you'll automatically get all your answers."571Please respect copyright.PENANAVYdxktP8ge
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.571Please respect copyright.PENANAAUe5W2qA4C
Familiar images flashed by, leaving no trace: deadly silence, tormenting children, lonely nights, endless gloom, insignificant events. And then I saw it...571Please respect copyright.PENANAtos2NAPNMN
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. 571Please respect copyright.PENANAi1tL35PZ6V
The truth was agonising.571Please respect copyright.PENANAWGQMGPcAnQ
"Werewolves," I murmured. "They don't exist." He smiled slightly.571Please respect copyright.PENANARUfUsnKPrQ
"Don't pretend you didn't see that memory, Wes."571Please respect copyright.PENANArwFkCaLeWw
"No its not true," I snapped. "There's no such thing as werewolves!"571Please respect copyright.PENANAnBKw16rGyE
"Isn't there?"571Please respect copyright.PENANA6b6x6UOVcm
"For the love of Luna! They don't exist!"571Please respect copyright.PENANAmdVxJ61JkG
"Don't lie, Weslyn Grayson," he hissed. "You remember, don't you? Seeing your reflection in the lake..."571Please respect copyright.PENANAAr6H0JVHNB
"That's not true!" I yelled. "I'm not a... I can't be a..."571Please respect copyright.PENANAAY0n3sJL3h
"On the contrary, that's exactly what you are," he smirked. 571Please respect copyright.PENANA0fRFOR3gI7
No. I couldn't accept that the monster I saw... it couldn't be. It just couldn't.571Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0gBFEc2qT
"Weslyn Grayson, you are a Werewolf."
