Chapter 500:


    I blinked, those words echoing in my head. Could that stranger really have meant I’d recover from just sleeping? Tentatively, I shifted in my bed and blinked in surprise. The aching weakness I’d carried like a weight for days… was gone. Completely.


    I pressed a hand to my belly and gasped. The baby stirred, lively, like it was kicking for joy. Relief and excitement surged through me.AdChoicesADVERTISING


    “I think I’m healed!” I blurted out, wide-eyed with a smile.


    Everyone stared at me as if I’d just spoken in tongues.


    Alice tilted her head, a curious frown creasing her brow.


    “Could it be… that mysterious man you mentioned? But why would he help you?”


    Indeed. That was the question that gnawed at me. Why would a stranger—one I didn’t know, and who certainly didn’t know me—save my life?


    Strange…


    Especially his gaze back then… it wasn’t ordinary. Why did he look at me like that, as if he knew me? Or thought I was someone else?


    Despite the lingering confusion, there was no denying it: I feltpletely, inexplicably healed.


    But before any of us could puzzle it out, yton motioned to a servant standing by the door. “Fetch the doctor. I want him to check her, just to be sure.”


    The doctor arrived within minutes, bustling in with an air of urgency. He conducted a thorough examination, checking everything with the precision of someone determined to find a problem. After what felt like hours, he straightened and gave us a reassuring smile.


    “Miss Dunn is perfectly healthy. There’s nothing wrong with her. In fact, she’s in excellent condition.”


    The tension in the room dissolved like ice under the sun.

    I could practically hear the collective sigh of relief.


    yton, though, was already moving onto the next thing. His eyes lit up as if he’d just solved a puzzle.


    “I’ll go tell Father right away! If he knows you’re well enough to give birth, we can finally avoid naming Molly the Lycan princess.”


    Before I could process what he said, yton was halfway to the door with his quick steps, bursting with anticipation.


    “Wait!” I called out, grabbing the hem of his coat. “You can’t tell him. Not yet.”


    He froze mid-step, turning back to me, confusion in his eyes.


    “Why? This is great news—” But then, something clicked. A flicker of regret darkened his gaze. “You’re right… we can’t. I wasn’t thinking.”


    I let out a slow breath. “I’m a white wolf. If His Majesty finds out, if he examines me himself, everything wille to light. You know how much he loathes white wolves. He wouldn’t hesitate to condemn me.”


    Dominic, who had been silent until now, let out a sharpugh, the sound cold and biting. “Unbelievable. You almost got her killed, yton. What were you thinking?”


    yton ignored him, his face drawn tight with regret. He took my hand again, this time with a grip that trembled just slightly.


    “I’m sorry, Makenna. I didn’t mean to put you in danger.”


    I gave him a small, reassuring smile. “It’s alright. I know you were just trying to protect me.” My gaze shifted to the others. “But we have bigger problems. Molly. We need to figure out what’s going on with her. And that man who saved me? He knows something. I’m sure of it. I feel he’s still in the pce, and we must find him.”
