XVI This isn't really happening...
The day before yesterday, I finally received my graduation diploma. There was no party, because for werewolves it's just a paper. Today is Sunday, so I allowed myself to sleep a little longer. When I woke up, Adrian was not next to me. Our conversation, in which I revealed a little bit of my secret, took place about a week ago. Since then we've been sleeping next to each other and slowly starting to get to know each other. I lifted my hazy gaze when he had just emerged from the bathroom. In just a towel hung low on his hips. I swallowed because I had a perfect view of his muscular body with a few droplets of water running down it.
- Take a picture. It'll stay on longer. - He chuckled. Flustered, I looked away because I was staring at him, even devouring him with my eyes. He noticed it and immediately started talking: - This. - He pointed at his body. - It belongs entirely to you. You don't have to be embarrassed. Take what you want. - I blushed. Oh my... I'm a rather bold person, but now... I feel like a teenager who sees a naked guy for the first time... He started walking towards the closet, and I carefully followed his every move. When he got there, he opened the door and let go of the towel, which slid down his legs and landed on the ground. I had a perfect view of the place where the back loses its noble name. I widened my eyes and then quickly covered them with my hands. I waited a moment and then slowly lowered them. I waited that much more and opening my eyelids I saw that he was already putting on his shirt and his buttocks were covered by his pants.
- I have to go. - He came up to me and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. - I'll see you soon. - And left with a mysterious smile on his lips. I sat on the bed confused. What had just happened in the past few minutes?

I stepped into the kitchen when I saw several smirks directed directly at me. What? I have something on my face? I walked over to the fridge as my stomach played a funeral march. I pulled out natural yogurt, and muesli with nuts from the cupboard next to it. I dug out a bowl and spoon as well and then sat down at the table to begin eating my breakfast in peace. Suddenly Em came into the room with a wide smile on her face. Why does everyone have that look on their face when they look at me? Maybe I have some kind of halo that I don't know about?
- How was your night? Did you have a good night's sleep? Or did my brother tire you out a lot in the sheets after all? - she sat down next to me and asked one question after another, making me choke on a peanut. She patted me on the back and brought me a glass of water. I nodded in acknowledgement and then drank it all in a gulp. That' s the last thing I need. To leave this world by choking on a poor freakin' peanut. I grunted and looked meaningfully at the people straining their ears to hear what I had to say, despite their improved hearing. After catching my eye, they lowered theirs and magically evaporated from the kitchen. In a moment we were left alone.
- We...we weren't doing what everyone thinks we were doing.
- And here I thought my big bro couldn't keep his hands to himself and consummated your bond after all. I was wrong, though. Or he has really good self-control. - I was red as a beet in my soul at the memory of our kiss in his office and the way I mirrored him in the bedroom this morning. I shook my head to come back to reality and understand what she had just said to me.
- So what? - I sent her an apologetic look. - You weren't listening to me, were you? - I shook my head like a docile lamb and she sighed: - I asked if you' d like to go shopping with me, Kinga and Hannah?
- Sure. I could use some female entertainment. - I sent her a smile. I'm not a shopping lover, but sometimes I have the inner need to break away from reality in the form of walking through the stores and looking for something I might like.

We had been talking like that for an hour when we heard murmurs of conversation in the living room. We got up and went to see what was going on. The TV had a news program for supernatural creatures on. But why such a clamor over ordinary news? At the same time we noticed Daniel, so we approached him.
- What's all the fuss about? - she asked me in advance.
- All over the world at twelve o'clock in the afternoon all the news were hacked. Now it is our turn. - He pointed at the television, on which the clock struck the exact same time. The news lead appeared and then the screen turned gray and looked as if it had lost coverage, but suddenly a figure dressed in a navy blue suit appeared. As he showed his face to those gathered in front of the televisions my wolf became concerned.
- Hello everyone gathered. - He spoke up, and I realized that I knew him from somewhere. But the problem is that I've never seen him before in my entire life. It' s the first time I see him right now. His hair was the color of rust, and his eyes were brown. A slightly crooked nose maybe from being broken, which framed a plump face. He looked to be about forty years old. Behind him was some sort of a box or cage, draped in what looked like white cloth. - My sincere thanks to those who have chosen to listen to me, though my message is addressed to only one person. The hunt continues. Unfortunately, I do not know exactly her current identity. However, it seems to me that what she is about to see may convince her to come to my humble doorstep. - At his words everyone leaned closer to the TV and eagerly awaited the "encouragement" of which he spoke. He turned his side to the camera, and the white material began to ride up. By the time it was fully up, I felt dizzy and sick. No. This isn't really happening.
