?Chapter 459:


    I beamed, my heart swelling with pride. “See?” I said, turning to him with a triumphant smile. “Evie is really strong.”


    Dominic remained quiet, his gaze flicking from Evie to me. His expression gave nothing away, but the tension in the air was unmistakable. Wasn’t he convinced?


    My pulse quickened as I anxiously waited for him to speak. But without a word, Dominic turned and left the garden, seemingly uninterested in digging deeper into the matter. Relief washed over me like a tidal wave. I exhaled deeply, realizing I had been holding my breath. We had survived this… barely.


    After the test, my thoughts immediately turned to Alice. I needed to see her, to make sure she was alright. Her room was next to mine, and I hadn’t even had the chance to check on her properly.


    I made my way to her room, my heart pounding again, though for different reasons. I gently pushed the door open, half-expecting to find her still unconscious. But there she was—awake, lying quietly in bed. Her face was pale, but her eyes shone with life.


    “Alice!” I rushed to her side, grasping her hand tightly. “How are you feeling? Any pain? Anything at all?”


    She gave me a small smile, shaking her head. “I’m fine.”


    Her gaze sharpened with curiosity as she studied me. “Makenna… what happened exactly? I remember I was so close to dying.”


    My heart skipped a beat. I was unsure how to exin it to her. Suddenly, her eyes widened in shock as she looked at me.


    “Makenna, I remember… I saw a white light emanating from you.”


    I panicked, ncing around the room, half-expecting someone to be listening. I leaned in close, pressing a finger to her lips. “Shh,” I whispered urgently, my eyes darting to the door. “Not so loud. Someone could hear us.”


    Alice’s brows furrowed in confusion, but she nodded, lowering her voice. “What was that light? It felt like… it healed me.”

    I hesitated. I had kept this secret for so long, but Alice was my closest friend. If anyone deserved the truth, it was her. I took a deep breath.


    “Alice… I’m a white wolf. I have… powers, abilities I don’t fully understand. That light was from me. Somehow, it healed you.”


    Makenna’s POV:


    “A white wolf?” Alice looked confused. Her scrunched-up face showed it. Leonardo had kept all news of the white wolf n frommon knowledge, leaving the younger generation ignorant of its significance—Alice included.


    I softened my tone, knowing this was unfamiliar territory for her. “The white wolf n is a legend among the werewolves. It’s said to hold extraordinary powers, but the white wolf n was wiped out by the Lycans a long time ago. I don’t even know why I’m a white wolf myself…”


    I shared what little I knew, everything I had read about the white wolves from the book. Alice listened closely, her eyes growing wide with shock. She swallowed hard, her voice shaky when she finally asked, “Has anyone found out you’re one?”


    I shook my head quickly. “No, only Evie’s seen the white light.”


    Her worry deepened, and she bit her lip. “Evie… What if she betrays you?”


    A sigh escaped me. “If it wasn’t for Evie, I wouldn’t even be alive. She fought with me when the lion attacked us. We’d both be dead if not for her.”


    Alice’s face softened, though her brows still knitted together in a struggle to ept the situation. After a long, thoughtful pause, she nodded. “I get it. I’ll stop keeping my guard up against her.”


    But even as she said this, her brows remained furrowed. She took my hand, squeezing it tightly. “Makenna, what’s your n? The pce is dangerous. If you really are a white wolf, it’s not safe for you to stay here.”
