Mateo spoke with confidence. "As long as the chance of success to awaken my wolf is more than zero, I'm willing to go through it."

"Are you sure about it?"

Mateo confirmed. "If I stay like this, it will be only a matter of time before someone gets to me or Serina, and if anything happens to her because of me, I will never forgive myself. I promised Serina that we will travel the world and I will take care of her, and I can't do that if I'm hiding."

I admired Mateo's spirit, however… "Don't make that decision rashly. What will happen if the procedure backfires and cripples you, or you die? What will Serina do then? She will never forgive me."

"I won't die.", he said with confidence. "Serina admires your scientific proves. She trusts you and I trust her. I have faith that you can make it happen."

Cheeky boy. Where did he learn to compliment others?
