Chapter 537
Chapter 537:
“You’ve reached marriageable age now and have given much to the Lycan clan. I think it’s time you found a suitable match to marry—a noblewoman from the wolf pack whose family and appearance complement yours.”
A flicker of disgust passed through me, but I masked it with a grateful expression. “Thank you, Your Majesty.” Then, raising my eyes to him, I added, “Your Majesty, the death of the Wizard Clan’s key general deserves a true celebration. Why not invite everyone in the palace to join the banquet?”
“Very well, as you wish,” Leonardo agreed with a pleased smile.
I hid a cunning smile of my own. I would make sure Makenna paid for what she had done.
Makenna’s POV:
The following days passed peacefully. Bryan didn’t come to see me, which was a relief. To avoid unintentionally revealing my true identity as a white wolf and meeting Antoni, I feigned exhaustion and stayed home. However, fate had other plans for me, as things didn’t go according to plan.
Leonardo decided to hold a celebration party for Antoni, and attendance was mandatory for nobles and even sex slaves. A sense of foreboding welled up in me when I heard this.
Alice came to see me after receiving the news. She suggested I refuse the invitation.
“You can’t attend this party, Makenna. Antoni hates you and wishes you harm. He will surely try something at the party.”
“You’re right. I shouldn’t go,” I said, recognizing the logic in Alice’s words.
I pondered the issue for a while before turning to Evie. “Evie, can you please help me ask Prince Clayton to decline the invitation for me?”
I believed that, given my condition, Leonardo wouldn’t mind me missing the event if Clayton spoke to him.

Evie nodded and began to head out. However, Dominic’s tall figure appeared at the door, blocking her path. He glanced at Evie briefly before turning to me.
“What errand did you send her on?” he asked.
I hesitated, unsure whether to tell him. Finally, I decided to speak the truth.
“During my last time in the garden, Antoni and I had an unpleasant encounter. I’m worried he’ll try something malicious at the party. Could you help me refuse the invitation, Your Highness?” I asked.
“Is that all?” Dominic asked indifferently as he strode over to me.
Alice and Evie, reading the situation, quickly left. Once they were gone, Dominic sat down and said, “There’s nothing to worry about. I’ve already declined it for you.”
I sighed in relief upon hearing this.
I was about to thank Dominic when he suddenly asked, “Did you send Evie to ask Clayton for help?”
I was taken aback by his question but answered truthfully, “Yes.”
Dominic chuckled coldly. “They’re too preoccupied to worry about you right now.”
Too preoccupied? “What do you mean?” I asked with a puzzled frown.
Dominic leaned back lazily on the sofa, a smirk playing on his lips. “Bryan and Clayton have been at loggerheads with each other lately. It’s reached the point where it has even affected me. I’m sure this has something to do with you, doesn’t it?”
Makenna’s POV:
I remembered that Bryan and Clayton had fought each other a few days ago because of me. It seemed they were both still holding a grudge. I refused to meet Dominic’s eyes and instead turned away from him.
