Chapter 316
Chapter 316:
We knelt together, and I pleaded, “Father, Makenna has been poisoned and is on the brink of death. Only the antidote pill in the palace can save her. Please, let us take her back immediately and administer the pill to save her life.”
He frowned deeply, clearly reluctant. “The antidote pill is no ordinary medicine. It cannot be used lightly, especially not on a lowly sex slave.”
Clayton quickly interjected, “Father, if Makenna dies because of this, we swear we will never touch another woman again. The Lycan clan will die out because of us.”
Dominic nodded in solemn agreement. Our father’s expression darkened, his eyes narrowing as he asked, “Are you threatening me?”
“No, Father.” We bowed our heads in unison, our voices respectful yet firm. I spoke earnestly, “Father, Makenna is the only woman all three of us have been involved with. She is the most likely to be carrying our child. Even if you don’t care about her, surely you care about the future of the Lycan bloodline?”
Our father’s gaze pierced through us as he weighed our words carefully, his mind clearly racing through the possibilities. Finally, he let out a heavy sigh and spoke, “Very well. Take Makenna back to the palace at once and administer the antidote pill. Save her life.”
Earnn Frank’s POV: Standing in the shadow of the king’s residence, I watched as the three princes hurriedly exited, their tension fading like a storm passing. Relief washed over their faces, making my heart lurch with dread. Damn it! Did Leonardo really agree to save Makenna with the antidote pill? An uneasy feeling began to gnaw at me.
After the princes left, I wasted no time in secretly digging for information. Sure enough, whispers confirmed that Makenna would soon return to the palace for treatment. I was stunned, and my heart sank like a stone. If Makenna was rescued, everything we had planned would go up in smoke!
After my shift ended before dawn, I raced back to my quarters, finding Jessica waiting. “Our plan failed,” I said, my voice heavy with exhaustion. I couldn’t fathom why it was so damn difficult to eliminate a mere woman like Makenna.

“What? It failed?” Jessica’s eyes blazed with shock and fury. “How is that possible? I placed the snakes myself! How could it fail?”
“The three princes found out Makenna was poisoned…” I inhaled deeply and recounted the entire story to her.
As Jessica absorbed the news, her jealousy and rage surged to a boiling point. She exploded, her voice shrill and uncontrollable. “Why? Why does that bitch Makenna get the favor of three princes?” She pounced on me like a wild animal, her anger blazing as she vented her frustration on me, laying the blame squarely at my feet. “Frank, you’re a failure! If it weren’t for your incompetence, Makenna would have been dead long ago!”
“Enough!” I shouted, finally shoving her hard. She tumbled to the floor as I released the pent-up emotions that had been festering in me for days. Now, my standing with the king was hanging by a thread. If Makenna survived, the princes would continue lining up against me. The road ahead looked grim.
“Frank! How dare you push me!” Jessica screamed, her fury undiminished.
Jessica, sprawled on the floor, was oblivious to the torment I was enduring. Instead, she shrieked at me, her voice cutting through the air like a blade.
I was at my wit’s end. Jessica sobbed on the floor, tears and snot mingling on her face—a pitiful and disgusting sight.
“Frank! You ungrateful coward!” she screamed, her voice piercing. “And that bitch Makenna, you’re both scum!” Her filthy words stung me. Hearing her curse me, then Makenna, only fueled the fire inside.
I clenched my fists, my knuckles white as blue veins bulged. I wanted nothing more than to slap the stupidity out of Jessica.
