"It is." But not at all on the same level as, well, himself. Silvio chewed on the information for a moment before shifting to face Simon a little. "I'm about to tell you something about myself. And I'll understand if you don't believe me at first but I'm willing to prove it to you if you want to see. Just know that it might seem scary but I don't want to hurt you. I want to protect you."

A deep breath to steady himself and then he continued. "There are supernatural creatures in this world, Simon. Beings who hide from the world for their own safety and privacy. You've probably seen them in movies, read about them in books, heard about them in stories. I'm one of them."

He made sure his coffee was safely set aside then he continued.

"I'm a werewolf. A person who carries the soul of a wolf within him."
