Chapter 189
\nMarked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 189<\/p>\n
**The Heart I Buried for You by Serene Lockwood**<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
The lingering warmth of Deanna\u2019s kiss still danced on my lips as I gazed down at her, a playful smirk curling at the corners of my mouth.<\/p>\n
Ah, look at her, getting bold enough to flirt with me now.<\/p>\n
With a swift motion, I rolled her over, pinning her beneath me on the soft sofa. The fabric cradled her as her silky hair spilled around her like a dark halo. Her cheeks, usually so pale, were now flushed with a delightful pink, and her bright eyes sparkled up at me with a mix of mischief and surprise.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can bite me any way you like tonight,\u201d I murmured, my voice low and teasing, as my fingers deftly began to work at the buttons of her shirt, one by one.<\/p>\n
I could feel the rapid thumping of her heartbeat, a rhythm so loud that even my wolf, always attuned to her, noticed the change.<\/p>\n
But just as the moment began to heat up, the shrill sound of the doorbell shattered the intimacy between us.<\/p>\n
Deanna jolted back to reality, her eyes wide. She pushed against my chest with urgency, trying to sit up as she fumbled with her shirt buttons. \u201cWho is it?\u201d<\/p>\n
She shoved me aside with a look that was both sharp and commanding, her bare foot nudging my shin as if to hurry me along.<\/p>\n
\u201cGo answer the door,\u201d she insisted, her voice firm, leaving my desire hanging in the air, unresolved.<\/p>\n
With a reluctant shrug, I got to my feet, my mood souring as I made my way to the door.<\/p>\n
Standing there was a werewolf guard, cradling a small bundle in his arms.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlpha, I brought Puddy,\u201d he announced, the dog squirming in his grasp.<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s voice chimed with excitement from behind me. \u201cPuddy?\u201d<\/p>\n
A wave of realization washed over me. I had arranged for that ridiculous dog to be sent over just a couple of days ago, and now it seemed I had unwittingly sabotaged my own evening.<\/p>\n
I crouched down, ruffling Puddy\u2019s chin affectionately. \u201cYou little troublemaker, you better keep yourself entertained tonight, got it?\u201d<\/p>\n
But Puddy wriggled free, barking happily as he dashed straight into Deanna\u2019s outstretched arms.<\/p>\n
Her entire face lit up with joy as she enveloped the dog in a tight embrace, her laughter ringing through the room like music.<\/p>\n
I shut the door with a resigned sigh and crossed my arms, watching the two of them play on the couch where just moments ago we had been on the brink of something more.<\/p>\n
Fantastic. Just what I needed\u2014a silly dog to ruin my night.<\/p>\n
I slouched back onto the sofa, sprawling my legs out as I kept my gaze fixed on Deanna and Puddy.<\/p>\n
\u201cAm I invisible now that the dog\u2019s here?\u201d I called out, feigning annoyance.<\/p>\n
Deanna glanced up at me, exasperation etched on her features. \u201cGo play by yourself for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n
So, I picked up the remote, flicking through the channels aimlessly, stealing glances at her and Puddy every now and then.<\/p>\n
This is ridiculous.<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
His words made my heart race, and my lashes fluttered in surprise. Heat crept up my cheeks, embarrassment washing over me at being caught off guard.<\/p>\n
But I quickly lifted my chin, forcing confidence into my voice. \u201cWhy would I be jealous? I\u2019m just curious. Puddy\u2019s adorable, that\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis studied me for a moment, then leaned in and gently pinched my earlobe.<\/p>\n
The cold touch sent a jolt through me, and I felt my ears turn crimson as my breath caught in my throat.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you blushing?\u201d he chuckled, a teasing glint in his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, you startled me!\u201d I protested, trying to regain my composure.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, his expression softened, and he leaned closer. \u201cClose your eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d I blinked, confusion swirling in my mind.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I want to kiss you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before I could respond, his lips pressed against my forehead, a sweet, tender gesture that sent a rush of warmth through me.<\/p>\n
In that moment, I heard him whisper softly in my ear, \u201cNext time you come to my office, I\u2019ll tell you who my first love was.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2272","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2272","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=2272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
