Chapter 410:


    I joyfully grabbed Alice’s hand. “Alice, I want to go to the library to look for some information. For some reason, I’m unsure about my own identity. Could I truly be a descendant of the white wolves?”


    Makenna’s POV:


    This idea wasn’t without merit. Piecing together my recovery from injuries, the scattered clues, and Connolly’s cryptic words before his exile, a sense of unease crept in. I had a nagging feeling that my identity was moreplex than it appeared. The white wolf n was a taboo subject in royal circles, so if I wanted to delve into this mystery, discretion was essential.


    Alice was taken aback by my sudden interest. She tilted her head, her brow furrowing in confusion. “Makenna, what sparked your desire to head to the library all of a sudden?”


    I hesitated, the truth weighing heavily on my tongue. Alice was a trusted friend, and deceiving her felt wrong, but the significance of this matter was too great for her to bear. Noticing my internal struggle, Alice chose not to press further. She reached out, her fingers wrapping around mine, offering a gentle pat as aforting gesture. “Makenna, if you prefer to keep it to yourself, I understand. Just know, if you run into any trouble, you can count on me.”


    I nodded gratefully. “I will, thank you.”


    The next morning, after notifying the doctor of my ns and assuring him I would return in time for my medication, I dashed to the library. I scoured the public sections but found no tomes on the white wolves. It seemed that the secrets of the white wolvesy hidden beyond the reach of the general collection. I remembered the secluded spot on the third floor where Dominic had previously taken me. That was where the elusive information must be stashed.


    Determined, I made my way alone, but at the threshold of the third floor, the librarian blocked my path. “Miss, you can’t go up there.”


    I stood dumbfounded. Why had I been allowed ess before with Dominic? Noticing my hesitation, the librarian stepped closer, exining, “Only nobles are permitted on the third floor. Unfortunately, you don’t qualify with your current standing.”


    Step into fiction with gα?ησν????s???o??


    Refusing to back down, I pleaded, “Please, I have something urgent to look into. I promise I won’t linger.”


    But the librarian remained steadfast. “Miss, rules are rules. I can’t make exceptions. Please don’t make this harder for either of us.”


    Frustrated, I stomped my foot. How could this be fair? Wasn’t the library meant for everyone to use? Realizing the librarian’s resolve, despair began to wash over me as I prepared to turn away in defeat.


    As I turned around, I heard a careless and condescending voice behind me say, “Let her in. She is with me.”


    I spun in shock, catching sight of Dominic lounging at the corner of the staircase. His rxed posture suggested he had been there longer than I realized. When our eyes met, he raised an eyebrow, a knowing smirk ying on his lips. His gaze made me ufortable, prompting me to look away quickly.


    The librarian nodded respectfully and let me pass, with Dominic trailing behind like a shadow. This had just gottenplicated. With Dominic beside me, my chance to investigate the white wolf n’s secrets was slipping away. What if he caught wind of what I was really after?


    Resigned to my situation, I feigned interest in the books, slowly weaving through the shelves, hoping Dominic would tire of my presence and walk away. From what I had gathered, the Lycan n and the white wolf n were likely at odds. If I truly belonged to the white wolf n and he discovered it, I had no doubt he would not take it lightly.


    Yet Dominic kept following me, observing me closely. Feeling cornered, I ventured, “Thank you for bringing me in, Your Highness. You can go handle your affairs now.”
