?Chapter 1033:


    I turned instinctively and found Dominic’s gaze—deep, conflicted, a storm of emotions swirling within.


    His eyes held a fathomlessplexity, yet his lips curved into a smile that seemed light but masked a bitter, aching sorrow.


    “Makenna,” he began, his voice low and gravelly, each syble dragged from the depths of his soul, “since the day we became mates, I vowed to embrace all of you—even the parts that tear at me.”


    Makenna’s POV:


    I stood frozen in shock. Never in my wildest dreams had I imagined such gentle and loving wordsing from Dominic, who had always been distant and aloof.


    My disbelief was evident in my voice as I asked, “Are you serious, Dominic?”


    Dominic sighed and smiled wistfully.


    He lowered his head, and his bangs fell over his eyes, hiding the emotions within them.


    “I can’t imagine life without you. This is the only option,” he said.


    I was moved by his words. A warmth wrapped around my heart.


    I had always thought that among the three princes, Dominic was the one who liked me less.


    He had alwayse across as indifferent and had never openly expressed his feelings.


    The fact that he chose to ept all of me and share his feelings now, without hesitation, warmed my heart to no end.


    yton shook his head. A resigned smile crossed his face as he said, “It seems I’m left with no choice but to ept this.”


    He stared deeply into my eyes and continued, “Once, you loved me the most, but now you have a child with Bryan and have be Dominic’s true mate. I am the only one left with nothing. I can’t even show my displeasure and jealousy, for fear that if I do, you’ll leave me…”


    g???????ν??????.??????, ???????? ????????????????


    yton paused, his voice choking with emotion. His eyes glistened, and he seemed on the verge of tears. He stood there, head bowed, making it impossible to see his expression, but it didn’t take a genius to figure out that he was heartbroken.


    At that moment, he seemed on the verge of copse.


    I had never seen yton so vulnerable, and it pierced my heart deeply.


    I walked toward him. Each step I took felt heavy. “I’m sorry… I’m so sorry. It’s my fault you feel this way,” I said, my voice thick with guilt.


    I paused, taking a deep breath in an attempt to regain myposure. Finally, I reached out and took his hand in mine. “I want you to know that I love you. I never stopped loving you.”


    yton finally looked up, meeting my eyes. He smiled at me and said, “That means a lot to me, Makenna.”


    At that moment, I nced to the side and saw Dominic staring at us with a slight frown.


    Bryan’s face, however, remained devoid of emotion.


    After a short while, he sighed and shrugged, acting indifferent. Yet, his voice was hoarse as he spoke. “Fine, I’ll ept this for the sake of the child.”


    Bryan’s words filled me with a mixture of emotions I couldn’t quite exin.
