?Chapter 127:


    Dominic’s POV:


    After learning that both Bryan and yton had been giving Makenna special treatment, I couldn’t resist keeping a closer eye on that woman.


    I went to check on her in the training room, but she wasn’t there. Instead of attending the training today, she had gone to her younger sister’s wedding.


    Something about that didn’t sit right with me.


    From what I knew, Makenna and her sister were anything but close—they were sworn enemies. So why would she attend her sister’s wedding?


    And then there was Frank. He was supposed to be Jessica’s mate, but the way he acted around Makenna hinted at something more.


    The whole situation reeked of trouble.


    A part of me was curious, wondering if something interesting was about to unfold at the wedding.


    With that in mind, I decided to attend the ceremony. Besides, it was a Gamma’s wedding—my presence would be an honor.


    When I arrived, the ceremony was already over. The guests were mingling, enjoying the feast at the hotel.


    But I was only interested in finding Makenna. As I entered the banquet hall, I scanned the room, but she was nowhere to be seen.


    I frowned. Had she already left?


    I wasn’t pleased. It wasn’t often that I took an interest in something. Her absence disappointed me.


    Just then, Jessica appeared, clinging to Frank’s arm. When they spotted me, their faces lit up, and they stered on their most ttering smiles.


    “Your Highness, what an honor to have you here! We wish you had informed us,” Jessica gushed.


    I was in no mood for pleasantries. My gaze remained cold. “Is my presence unwee here?”


    g?lnσν???s．c????, a world of tales


    “Not at all, Your Highness. We’re thrilled you could join us,” Frank chimed in, overly eager. “Please, have a seat. You’ve arrived just in time—the banquet has only just begun.”


    But I had no interest in their banquet.


    I got straight to the point. “Is Makenna here? Didn’t shee to your wedding? I haven’t seen her.”


    As I spoke, I noticed the brief flicker of unease in their eyes.


    “She—” Jessica stammered, her voice faltering.


    I narrowed my eyes, sensing something was off. “I asked where she is,” I repeated, my tone icy.


    Frank swallowed and replied, “She said she was busy and returned to the pce.”


    “Yes, that is right,” Jessica quickly added. “She went back to the pce. Please, Your Highness, sit down… We’ll have the best food and wine brought to you immediately.”


    Back to the pce?


    I studied them carefully, and my instincts screamed that something wasn’t right. There was panic in their eyes, hesitation in their voices. If Makenna had really returned to the pce, they wouldn’t look so nervous.


    Besides, I had stationed a guard to keep an eye on Makenna. If she had gone back, I would have known.


    No, something was definitely wrong.


    I sneered, my voice dropping to a frigid tone. “I’ll give you onest chance. Where is Makenna?”


    Jessica flinched under my gaze, her voice trembling. “I—”


    Frank, clearly feeling the pressure, insisted, “Your Highness, she really has returned to the pce.”


    My patience was wearing thin. I was about to go search for Makenna myself when I heard a heavy thud from upstairs.


    Frank and Jessica’s expressions briefly changed. I looked at them and saw that something was going on. I strode to the second floor after that.
