?Chapter 568:


    A glint of understanding sparkled in Dominic’s eyes. “It’s definitely possible. You’re a white wolf; your healing abilities are known to be strong. So, it wouldn’t be too surprising if your milk had that effect.”


    A deep flush crept up my neck, staining my face crimson. This whole ability was beyond embarrassing. I quickly lowered my gaze, trying to hide my burning cheeks as I fumbled with my clothes, too mortified to even look him in the eye.


    Dominic, still watching me, reached out with a yful smirk and pinched my cheek. “You didn’t seem so shy a moment ago. Why the sudden blush?”


    He fainted just now; that was why I did it! I clenched my jaw, muttering under my breath, “I only did that because you fainted! If you hadn’t saved me, I wouldn’t have bothered to help you.”


    Dominic chuckled, his voice low and teasing. “You really are a thankless woman.”


    “Humph.” I puffed out my cheeks, still upset as my thoughts drifted back to everything that had happened earlier. Dominic had been locked in a fierce battle with yton, so what had changed? How had he ended uping to my rescue?


    My suspicions nagged at me, and I looked up at him, narrowing my eyes. “How did you end uping to my rescue? What about Prince yton?”


    The smile on Dominic’s face faded, his features turning serious. He answered calmly, “I made sure to bring enough people to keep yton busy. But when I chased after you and found the driver dead, I knew something was wrong.”


    Makenna’s POV:


    The thought of the driver’s death weighed on me like a thousand bricks, suffocating me with guilt.


    “Your Highness…” My voice cracked, the words choking in my throat as I lowered my head, a sob escaping me. “I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. I caused the driver’s death.”


    As the tears welled up, I instinctively covered my face, the floodgates finally opening. I couldn’t hold it in any longer.

    Dominic let out a heavy sigh, his arms wrapping around me without hesitation, pulling me into aforting embrace.


    In that moment, his warmth felt like the only anchor in a storm, the only thing that could steady me amid the chaos.


    “This is not your fault,” he murmured, his voice calm but firm.


    I shook my head, the tears flowing freely now. “No! The driver died because of me. He saved my life. If he hadn’t warned me to run, he could’ve escaped. He didn’t have to die.”


    The image of that innocent man, his life snatched away because of me, hit me like a punch to the gut. I lifted my tear-filled eyes to Dominic, my voice pleading. “Please, Your Highness, you have to avenge him. Find those who did this.”


    Dominic’s expression hardened, a cold, dangerous gleam in his eyes. “Rest assured, anyone who dares harm my men will regret it,” he said, the weight of his words leaving no room for doubt.


    He then paused, lowering his head slightly, his voice turning serious. “Makenna, have you made any enemies recently? Those men in ck were clearly targeting you.”


    I hesitated, my mind spinning. “Have I made any enemies…” I murmured, letting the thought linger. It didn’t take long before Antoni’s face shed in my mind. “Could it have been Antoni?” I voiced the suspicion, uncertainty lingering in my words. He was the only one I had crossed recently, the only one who might want me dead.


    Dominic’s eyes narrowed, a dangerous edge creeping into his gaze. “I’ll get to the bottom of this.”
