Chapter 35 I Like Her, Even When She Lies.<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
Watching Deanna turn her face away, her ears turning red, I couldn\u2019t help but smirk.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t the first time I\u2019d seen her like this, but she still got flustered every single time.<\/p>\n
I smiled faintly and walked straight to the fridge.<\/p>\n
The moment I opened it, my brows pulled together.<\/p>\n

Neat rows of frozen sandwiches and microwave dinners filled the shelves. There were no fresh vegetables or cuts of meat available.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou live on this stuff?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n
She was the Mistbane Pack\u2019s heiress. And this was what she called food?<\/p>\n
At Mooncrown Pack, even the lowest\u2013ranked Omegas had meals prepared with care.<\/p>\n
Deanna leaned over my shoulder, peeking into the fridge. Her tone carried a hint of defiance.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy place isn\u2019t like yours, Mr. Eaton. You\u2019ve got a maid and a nutritionist waiting on you.\u201d<\/p>\n
I picked up a cheap\u2013looking sandwich, glanced at the label, and grumbled.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo wonder you barely weigh anything. You\u2019re living off this junk.\u201d<\/p>\n
She pursed her lips and rebuked in a low voice, \u201cDid I ask you to touch me?\u201d<\/p>\n
I shot her an annoyed look, grumbling under my breath, but still stepped into the kitchen. In the end, I decided to make two plates of pasta.<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
I was surprised when he stepped into the kitchen.<\/p>\n
A pureblood, respectful Alpha like him is cooking?<\/p>\n
I moved to the doorway and leaned against the frame, watching Luis at work.<\/p>\n
His tall figure stood out in the sunlight. His natural air of authority clashed with my cramped, outdated kitchen.<\/p>\n
Yet, for some reason, seeing him focused like that made me feel oddly calm. Safe, even.<\/p>\n
When the food was ready, I couldn\u2019t resist. I ate two full servings.<\/p>\n
I had to admit\u2013Luis could cook. Way better than my frozen dinners.<\/p>\n
After breakfast, I checked the time. I had to get to the mall for a morning inspection, or I\u2019d be late.<\/p>\n
Luis stepped outside first to wait for me. I was about to follow when I remembered I\u2019d left my phone in the bedroom. With a sigh, I went back to grab it.<\/p>\n

As I headed toward the door again, the apartment across the hall opened. Jessica walked out in her high heels, her steps sharp and confident.<\/p>\n
She was Jillian\u2019s junior. We weren\u2019t close, but we knew each other.<\/p>\n
Jessica marched straight up to Luis.<\/p>\n
\u201cSir, are you Deanna\u2019s mate? Let me tell you\u2013last night there was some guy all over her. Don\u2019t get fooled. She may look sweet, but she\u2019s not as innocent as she seems.\u201d<\/p>\n
I froze in place, rage flaring in my chest.<\/p>\n
I was ready to speak up when Luis\u2019s low, lazy voice rolled out.<\/p>\n
\u2018Is that so?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessica\u2019s eyes lit up. She nodded quickly.<\/p>\n
\u2018Yes, yes! That guy last night\u2013just like you\u2013he was totally wrapped around her finger. I heard everything from the hallway. The bulling, the whispering, the laughter. They were far too close.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis let out a sharp, mocking laugh. \u201cTwo men in one night? Still better than you spending every night alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessica blushed deeply in response to his rebuke.<\/p>\n
\u2018How can you say that? I was trying to warn you. She\u2019s tricking you, and you don\u2019t even see it. Your mate could be cheating, and you\u2019d never know.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis barely lifted his eyes. His voice was calm, almost lazy. \u201cI like her. Even if she lies to me, I still like her.\u201d<\/p>\n
ike!<\/p>\n
That word made my heart skip in my chest.<\/p>\n
Did he just say\u2026 he likes me?<\/p>\n
Jessica snapped, her tone sharp and cruel.<\/p>\n
\u2018You really are blind. You are falling for a she\u2013wolf with a messy life. She\u2019s a slut. Aren\u2019t you afraid of catching something?\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s expression darkened instantly. He took a step closer, his voice low and dangerous.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t hit women. Don\u2019t make me break that rule.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessica flinched, her whole body trembling. She didn\u2019t dare say another word. Her heels clicked in a panicked rhythm as she bolted for the stairwell, too scared to even wait for the elevator.<\/p>\n
All the way down to the parking garage, I couldn\u2019t focus.<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s voice kept echoing in my head\u2013the tone, the look in his eyes\u2013it replayed over and over like a recorder.<\/p>\n
Then reality hit me. I shook my head with a bitter smile.<\/p>\n
Are you a fool? Who is Luis, really?<\/p>\n

He is an Alpha, powerful and untouchable. She\u2013werewolves lined up every day for his attention. There was no way he could truly like<\/p>\n
No. He only wants my body. He told me that we are a good match in bed.<\/p>\n
That had to be it. It couldn\u2019t be real. I couldn\u2019t let myself believe it.<\/p>\n
I told myself again and again not to believe it. And yet, no matter how hard I tried to convince myself, my heart still raced wildly out of control.<\/p>\n
