Chapter 15 Deanna, You Little Menace<\/p>\n
Luis\u2018 POV:<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s voice drifted from behind me, softly trembling just enough to catch<\/p>\n
\u201cRelax. I\u2019ve got you. No way I\u2019m letting you fall.\u201d<\/p>\n

my attention.<\/p>\n
She seemed braver than she probably felt. I slowed down anyway, just a notch\u2013no point in scaring her half to death.<\/p>\n
The mountain road stretched out ahead of us, glowing faintly under the moonlight. My wolf eyes picked out every flicker of movement\u2013shadows shifting, leaves stirring, the glint of dew clinging to the grass.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeanna,\u201d I called back, my voice low and steady. \u201cLook up.\u201d<\/p>\n
She hesitated for a second, then tilted her head like I told her to.<\/p>\n
Above us, the sky was endless\u2013thousands of stars burning bright, the moon glowing like silver fire. Even the forest below looked alive, breathing under Nyra\u2019s light. It almost felt like she was watching over us.<\/p>\n
The cold wind tore past, sharp enough to sting, but it only made the run sweeter. I couldn\u2019t help it\u2014a grin broke across my face.<\/p>\n
\u201cTake it in while you can,\u201d I said, then pushed my pace. My paws struck the ground hard, carrying us higher, faster.<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
I swear my heart was about to leap out of my chest.<\/p>\n
This wasn\u2019t running. This was flying.<\/p>\n
Everything around me blurred\u2013the trees, the ground, the night air. I held on tight, grinning so hard my face hurt. Who knew this could feel so good?<\/p>\n
Luis dashed through the forest like a shadow, leading us to the peak. He stopped, and I gently slid off his back. My knees felt a bit wobbly, and my heart was still racing from the ride.<\/p>\n
The air up here was different\u2013crisp, cool, and laced with pine scent.<\/p>\n

As I was catching my breath, he had already reverted to his human form. Without hesitation, he put an arm around my waist and carried me toward the viewing platform.<\/p>\n
My voice came out soft. \u201cUh\u2026 Luis? You can put me down now.\u201d<\/p>\n
He did, slow and easy, then shoved one hand in his pocket like we hadn\u2019t just sprinted up at mountain at breakneck speed.<\/p>\n
I turned to the view and forgot how to breathe.<\/p>\n
The city spread out below us, a shimmering blanket of lights against the darkness. From this height, it appeared quiet and orderly, almost magical.<\/p>\n
I leaned against the railing, taking a moment to absorb everything as my heartbeat gradually slowed. It was the first time I\u2019d ever experienced such speed, and it truly drained me\u2013in the best way\u2013ridding me of all the tension and negative feelings. For once, my chest felt light.<\/p>\n
Luis popped open a bottle of beer\u2013no clue where he even pulled it from\u2013and held it out to<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks,\u201d I said, grinning as I took it.<\/p>\n
One long gulp later, the fizz burned down my throat and lit me up from the inside.<\/p>\n
\u201cBetter?\u201d His voice was calm, almost teasing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWay better,\u201d I admitted, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand. \u201cThat was insane, but in the best way.\u201d<\/p>\n
He smirked. \u201cSometimes, a little wild is the cure for everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
I looked up at him\u2013tall, steady, and maddeningly composed\u2013like that wild run hadn\u2019t even left a scratch on him.<\/p>\n
I wondered, Why bring me all the way up here? What\u2019s really going on in that Alpha head of his?<\/p>\n
Still, whatever it was, I wasn\u2019t about to wreck the moment by asking.<\/p>\n
I responded, \u201cThanks, Luis. I needed this. For real. Honestly, it\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve ever done something this reckless.\u201d<\/p>\n
He tilted his head, amused. \u201cThank me? What\u2019s it going to be? Dinner again?\u201d<\/p>\n
I smirked. \u201cNot dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n

The words slipped out before I could stop them. My heart was pounding so loudly it had to be illegal. I turned back to the city fast, praying he didn\u2019t hear it.<\/p>\n
From here, the city looked like a glass palace glittering at our fect. I let out a quiet laugh. \u201cThis view\u2019s unreal. Think I can yell?\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis arched a brow. \u201cYell? What are you, some baby wolf practicing your first howl?\u201d<\/p>\n
I shot him a look. \u201cHey, don\u2019t knock it. Yelling clears the soul.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve never done it before?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n
He shrugged. \u201cNope. Figures I never needed it.\u201d<\/p>\n
I mused, of course, he didn\u2019t. He\u2019s a pureborn, the Alpha of Mooncrown Pack\u2013nothing ever shakes him. Meanwhile, I? Yeah\u2026 whole different story.<\/p>\n
Right then, he looked straight at me and nodded his head toward the view. \u201cGo on. I\u2019m not stopping you.\u201d<\/p>\n
That was all I needed. I cupped my hands around my mouth, sucked in the cold night air, and let it rip.<\/p>\n
\u201cAhhhhhh! Jake, you pathetic excuse for an Alpha!<\/p>\n
\u201cPeggie! Jillian! You two can choke to your death!\u201d<\/p>\n
The words flew out, raw and loud enough to scrape my throat, but it felt incredible. It was like I\u2019d just thrown a mountain off my chest.<\/p>\n
Luis glanced at me, his mouth twitching like he was fighting a grin. \u201cThat\u2019s it? You\u2019re tapped out already?\u201d<\/p>\n
I laughed breathlessly and shook my head. \u201cYeah, I\u2019m good.\u201d<\/p>\n
For a split second, his expression shifted. I couldn\u2019t help but wonder, Does he want to yell too, but<\/p>\n
won\u2019t admit it?<\/p>\n
I waved him over and teased, \u201cGo on, try it. You\u2019ll see\u2013it\u2019s addictive.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then, his hand came down on the back of my head in this ridiculously casual pat, and I just<\/p>\n
froze.<\/p>\n
Before I could react, he turned toward the city, cupped his hands, and shouted at the top of his lungs, \u201cDeanna! You little menace!\u201d<\/p>\n
