When Serina and I returned to the villa, I was happy to hear from Maria that Lazarus left.
After giving a few instructions, Serina and I headed to our bedroom on the third floor.
I suggested that we go to the basement where we have rooms with various equipment for monitoring the human body, but Serina refused.
"There is no point in any of those machines. They will only distract me.", Serina said. "I need to do this on my own."
No, not on her own. "I will be with you."
She gave me a nervous smile in response.
'I will be there also.', my wolf said in my head.
'Shut up', I scowled at him. 'Don't you think you did enough damage?'
