Chapter 211
\nMarked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 211<\/p>\n
**Jake\u2019s POV:**<\/p>\n
Panic surged through me. Without a moment\u2019s hesitation, I shifted into my wolf form, the familiar rush of power coursing through my veins. I bounded up the stairs, calling out for Deanna, my voice echoing in the empty stairwell.<\/p>\n
As I ascended, a muffled sound reached my ears\u2014a desperate cry. \u201cHelp!\u201d It was Deanna\u2019s voice, sharp with fear. My heart plummeted, and I pushed myself harder, each stride fueled by the urgency of her distress.<\/p>\n
With a thunderous crash, I burst through the rooftop door, and the scene before me ignited a blaze of fury within me. A woman clad entirely in black loomed over Deanna, a syringe poised to strike.<\/p>\n
\u201cStop!\u201d I roared, lunging forward. My front paw connected with her lower back, sending her sprawling. She shrieked as the syringe flew from her grasp, shattering against the wall in a shower of glass.<\/p>\n
In a heartbeat, I shifted back to my human form, urgency propelling me toward Deanna. I rushed to her side, swiftly working to untie the ropes that bound her wrists.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeanna, are you alright?\u201d I asked, my voice strained with concern as I fumbled with the knots.<\/p>\n
Her eyes, wide with disbelief, met mine. \u201cJake \u2026 how did you get here?\u201d she gasped, shock evident in her tone.<\/p>\n
There was no time for hesitation. I instinctively shoved Deanna out of the way, but I wasn\u2019t quick enough. The blade lunged toward me, piercing my chest with a searing pain. Blood erupted from the wound, warm and sticky, as I staggered back.<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s eyes filled with horror. \u201cJake!\u201d she screamed, her voice a mix of fear and disbelief.<\/p>\n
Finally, the werewolf guards arrived, rushing in to apprehend the assailant. I clutched my wound, trying to speak through the haze of pain. \u201cIt\u2019s okay. Alpha healing is strong,\u201d I reassured her, though my voice was barely above a whisper.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t talk,\u201d she insisted, her eyes darting around frantically. \u201cI\u2019ll call an ambulance!\u201d<\/p>\n
As my vision began to blur, I caught a glimpse of Dorothy being restrained by the guards. A wave of relief washed over me, if only for a moment, before darkness crept in, and I allowed my eyes to close.<\/p>\n
**Third-person POV:**<\/p>\n
In the sterile, fluorescent-lit corridors of the hospital, Barbara and Thora rushed in, their hearts pounding from the news they had just received.<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, please, just calm down,\u201d Thora urged, her voice steady but laced with concern. \u201cWe need to check on Jake first.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d Barbara stammered, disbelief coloring her words. \u201cWhat did you just say?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDeanna is Mr. Eaton\u2019s girlfriend?\u201d Barbara echoed incredulously, the implications sinking in.<\/p>\n
Luis shot them a piercing look, a hint of disdain in his expression. \u201cIs she yours, then?\u201d he asked, his words hanging heavy in the air.<\/p>\n
Without waiting for a response, he strode over to Deanna, his gaze softening as he looked at her. He extended his hand, a silent offer of support.<\/p>\n
Deanna hesitated, her lashes fluttering as she processed the moment. Finally, she took his hand, rising to her feet with a mix of uncertainty and resolve.<\/p>\n
Luis led her away, their connection palpable as they walked together, leaving a storm of emotions in their wake.<\/p>\n
As they exited, Barbara clenched her jaw, frustration boiling inside her. \u201cNo wonder she broke up with Jake. She\u2019s got the Mooncrown Alpha wrapped around her finger! I warned Jake about her, but he wouldn\u2019t listen\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Barbara jabbed a finger at Thora\u2019s forehead, her anger still simmering. \u201cJake got stabbed for that Deanna! He took the hit for her, and now she\u2019s running off with another Alpha!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2294","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2294","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=2294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
