Chapter 152
\nMarked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 152<\/p>\n
In the bustling atmosphere of the dimly lit room, an Omega clad in a daringly short skirt hurriedly made her way toward Maurice, her urgency evident in her every step.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Gross, Mr. Gross!\u201d she exclaimed, her voice tinged with panic.<\/p>\n
The sight that greeted her was alarming; white foam was bubbling out of Maurice\u2019s nose and mouth, an unsettling spectacle that sent ripples of concern through the crowd.<\/p>\n
But as they looked on, a chilling indifference settled over them.<\/p>\n
After all, this was merely a punishment sanctioned by the alpha of the Mooncrown Pack, and the collective sentiment was one of apathy.<\/p>\n
With the healing capabilities inherent to werewolves, the alcohol that had led to Maurice\u2019s current state was nothing more than a minor inconvenience\u2014a mere stomach pump, really. Even in the unlikely event of his demise, Luis would ensure that everything would be swept under the rug.<\/p>\n
Impatience seeped into the voice of one of the members. \u201cThen call someone to carry him to the hospital. You can accompany him and take care of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Omega, sensing the weight of the moment, dared not utter another word. Instead, she quickly summoned two werewolf attendants who efficiently dragged Maurice away, leaving the atmosphere charged with a mix of relief and anticipation.<\/p>\n
As soon as they departed, the next round of the game commenced, the tension in the room shifting back to the cards.<\/p>\n
Maggie nodded in agreement, her eyes darting around the room. \u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, just as the words left Maggie\u2019s lips, Leo Larson, clad in a garish floral shirt, pointed an accusatory finger directly at Deanna.<\/p>\n
Caught off guard, Deanna\u2019s eyes widened slightly. She cautiously raised the corner of her card, her heart racing with uncertainty.<\/p>\n
Maggie, glancing over her shoulder, gasped audibly, her expression shifting from surprise to dismay.<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s card was even worse than Maggie\u2019s, a stroke of misfortune that seemed to plague her tonight.<\/p>\n
As Deanna revealed her card, Leo erupted with triumph. \u201cI win!\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna froze momentarily, her mind racing as she processed the implications of his words.<\/p>\n
A second later, Leo\u2019s grin widened, and he declared with a playful malice, \u201cAlright, pretty girl, here\u2019s your little punishment. Pick any man here and sit on his lap.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s mind went blank, a whirlwind of thoughts crashing against each other. She had not anticipated a punishment of this nature.<\/p>\n
Desperation clawed at her as she nervously glanced toward Luis, who sat there, seemingly unfazed, as if her predicament was of no concern to him.<\/p>\n
Maggie leaned in closer, her voice low and urgent. \u201cDeanna, I think you should just pick someone. Otherwise, you might end up like Mr. Gross. These people don\u2019t seem easy to mess with.\u201d<\/p>\n
A sly glint danced in Leo\u2019s eyes, a predator savoring his victory.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome sit on my lap. I don\u2019t mind at all,\u201d he taunted, his voice dripping with insincerity.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re practically drooling over her.<\/p>\n
If Deanna were to comply, he\u2019d likely take advantage of her the moment she made contact with his lap.<\/p>\n
Eager to put the situation behind her, Deanna stood up, determination fueling her steps as she made her way toward Luis, planning to sit briefly and declare the penalty complete.<\/p>\n
Yet, as she navigated the narrow passage between the tables, a foot suddenly shot out from nowhere, catching her off guard.<\/p>\n
Deanna stumbled, her balance lost as she pitched forward, her heart racing with panic.<\/p>\n
She braced herself for impact with the hard glass table, her mind blanking out in that fleeting moment.<\/p>\n
But just then, a strong hand shot out, gripping her slender waist with an unexpected firmness.<\/p>\n
Luis had caught her, pulling her close, and Deanna found herself landing squarely in his lap.<\/p>\n
The familiar scent of cedarwood enveloped her, grounding her in the chaos of the moment.<\/p>\n
Her heart, which had been racing in panic, began to settle, a strange sense of calm washing over her.<\/p>\n
Everything transpired in a blur, and as the crowd turned their attention toward them, it appeared as though she had eagerly leaped into Luis\u2019s embrace.<\/p>\n
Avoiding Luis\u2019s gaze, she scrambled off him, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.<\/p>\n
The women in the room exchanged knowing glances, their expressions a mix of disdain and surprise.<\/p>\n
They had initially perceived her as an innocent little bunny, but now it seemed she had revealed herself to be a cunning fox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2235","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
