Chapter 318
Chapter 318:
“Stay strong, kid. You’re going to make it. Just remember, keep your true identity hidden. The Lycan clan can’t be trusted.”
I gathered my strength to ask more questions, but before I could speak, something was thrust into my mouth. Suddenly, a wave of warmth washed over my body, and I slipped into a deep sleep. It felt like an eternity before I regained my senses.
I wrestled my eyes open, my throat parched and dry. In a raspy voice, I managed to say, “Water… I need water.”
Instantly, someone gently propped me up, brought the water to my lips, and murmured, “Take it slowly. Don’t rush.”
I blinked, trying to focus on the face before me. My vision was blurry, so I couldn’t recognize who it was immediately. Only after I had finished the water did I realize it was Clayton helping me drink.
Clayton looked at me anxiously and exclaimed, “Makenna, you’re awake at last! How are you feeling?”
“I’m okay,” I murmured faintly. Then, uncertainly, I asked, “What happened to me?”
Clayton pursed his lips, his expression filled with fear. “You were bitten by a snake.”
I was bitten by a snake?
That was right! I remembered now. I had indeed been bitten by a snake.
Just as I was about to ask Clayton why there were snakes in my room, a furious voice cut me off sharply. “Üloman, are you blind? Can’t you see I’m also here?”
I looked up and noticed Bryan leaning against the door with his arms crossed, clearly annoyed. His frown was deep, and he glared at me as if I had gravely wronged him.
Before I could respond, Dominic’s lazy voice rang out. “How ungrateful of you! You only acknowledged Clayton and overlooked me. I’ve been doing everything to save you, but apparently, it was all for nothing.”
Dominic was sprawled on the sofa, seemingly napping. When he opened his eyes, a faint, insincere smile played at the corner of his mouth. I was so startled that my eyes widened and my mouth fell open. I couldn’t believe it. All three of them were here!

What was even more astonishing was seeing these three princes, who usually couldn’t stand each other, sharing a room peacefully. It was beyond belief. Confused, I looked at them and asked anxiously, “What happened?”
Clayton let out a soft sigh and explained gently, “After the snake bit you, we all brought you back to the palace for treatment.”
Remembering the snake attack, fear crept back into me. My voice trembled as I asked, “How could such snakes be in the manor?”
At my question, all three princes became serious. Dominic opened his eyes fully and responded, “It’s puzzling indeed. Those snakes typically live in deep mountain areas and are rarely seen near the manor. Moreover, seeing two of them simultaneously is highly unusual.”
As they spoke, a disturbance outside the door interrupted us. My heart raced, worried that another incident had occurred. Then, a guard rushed in and announced, “Your Highness, there is a woman named Alice outside, insisting on seeing Miss Dunn.”
Makenna’s POV:
Why was Alice stopped outside the door?
This caught me off guard. Beside me, Bryan was grumbling with impatience. “That lady kept crying—
it was getting on my nerves, so I sent her out.”
