?Chapter 474:
“How are you feeling? Any difort?” Bryan was the first to speak, worry creasing his usually carefree and handsome features.
yton rushed forward, reaching out to help me sit up. “Does it hurt anywhere?”
Dominic hovered nearby, his eyes wide with unspoken worry, though he remained silent.
Their evident anxiety warmed my heart, but embarrassment crept in. I managed a sheepish smile and murmured, “I’m okay; it’s just that my belly is growing bigger, so it’s a bit tough to move.”
Their gazes shifted from my face to my belly. At that moment, I caught a flicker of bitterness in their eyes, as if they were wrestling with thoughts they couldn’t voice. A sense of unease settled over me.
“What’s going on? Did something happen to me?” I asked urgently, my heart racing.
The three of them exchanged nces and quickly shook their heads, as if to dispel my concerns.
“No, don’t overthink it,” Bryan assured me, his voice steady.
“Yeah, just focus on resting,” yton added, his tone soothing.
Despite their reassurances, a knot of anxiety twisted in my stomach. I sensed they were holding something back. yton poured another cup of water, gently urging, “Don’t worry, just take it easy.”
I took the cup and sipped, but the unease only deepened. “What’s really going on? You’re hiding something from me,” I pressed again, anxiety creeping into my voice.
No matter how many times I questioned them, they continued to offer reassurances, insisting everything was fine. Seeing them united in their concern—a rare sight—only heightened my worry.
“What on earth happened? Please, tell me!” I insisted, my voice rising with urgency as I nced between them, searching their faces for answers.
They exchanged nces again, their expressions calm, but the worry that flickered in their eyes betrayed their true feelings.
“Makenna, just rest. We have some matters to discuss, but we’ll be back soon,” yton said softly, affectionately ruffling my hair before he left with Bryan and Dominic.
I narrowed my eyes, watching their retreating figures, a nagging feeling gnawing at me that they were heading off to discuss something significant. What had really happened? Why did it feel like they were deliberately keeping secrets from me?
Fortunately, not long after they left, Alice and Evie entered the room. Their heavy expressions and furrowed brows mirrored my concern.
“What took ce? Why are all of you looking so serious? What is happening?” I asked eagerly.
Alice spoke with a gravity that made my stomach drop. “Makenna, the doctor said your body seems to have weakened.”
What? My body had weakened? How could that be? Alice’s words hit me like a thunderbolt, leaving me speechless.
“That’s impossible!” I shook my head vigorously, stating firmly, “I am a white wolf. How could I be weak?”
Alice pondered my reaction, tilting her head thoughtfully. “It is indeed strange. This shouldn’t be happening.”
I was so stunned at the time that I paid no attention to Evie, who was sitting next to me. She seemed even more astonished than I was when she heard me, her voice quivering slightly. “You… are you a white wolf?”
