\nMarked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 215<\/p>\n
**Chapter 215: I Didn\u2019t Ask for This**<\/p>\n
**Jake\u2019s POV:**<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you tell her or not?\u201d I insisted, my voice strained as I lay in the hospital bed, frustration bubbling within me.<\/p>\n
Thora, standing at the foot of my bed, tugged at the corner of her mouth, a mix of amusement and exasperation dancing in her eyes. \u201cI told her, alright. But what do you want me to do if Deanna doesn\u2019t respond? Drag her here? You\u2019re not a diamond; women don\u2019t just line up because you\u2019re breathing.\u201d<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t help but frown, irritation clawing at my insides. It had been an entire week since I had regained consciousness, and not a single glimpse of Deanna had crossed my sight.<\/p>\n
Cold. That woman was as cold as ice.<\/p>\n
I had taken a knife for her, and yet she couldn\u2019t even muster the strength to show her face?<\/p>\n
Thora muttered under her breath, barely audible, \u201cIf you\u2019d known it would come to this, maybe treating her better in the first place would\u2019ve been wise.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShut up!\u201d I snapped, my patience fraying like an old rope, the dull ache in my chest flaring up once more.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou think I wanted to be here, taking care of you? With your Alpha temper? Honestly, Deanna must have been out of her mind to chase after you back then,\u201d she retorted, her tone sharp as a knife.<\/p>\n
\u201cThora.\u201d I growled her name through gritted teeth, my body tense with frustration. If I had the strength, I would have tossed her out of the room without a second thought.<\/p>\n
Just then, a soft knock echoed through the door.<\/p>\n
I assumed it was a nurse coming to change my bandages, so I waved my hand dismissively and called out, \u201cCome in.\u201d<\/p>\n
To my surprise, the door swung open, and there stood Deanna.<\/p>\n
In that very moment, the sterile scent of the hospital was overwhelmed by the familiar, sweet aroma of her Omega pheromones\u2014a scent I had been yearning for day and night.<\/p>\n
My heart raced, and my eyes lit up with hope.<\/p>\n
Thora blinked in disbelief. \u201cDeanna \u2026 You actually came?\u201d<\/p>\n
I coughed to clear my throat and shot Thora a cold glare. \u201cAren\u2019t you leaving?\u201d<\/p>\n
Thora rolled her eyes, the tension between us palpable.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight. Deanna, I just remembered I have something to do. Later!\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, she hurried out, closing the door behind her with a soft click.<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t tear my gaze away from Deanna, my eyes drinking in every inch of her.<\/p>\n
She was dressed simply today, in casual clothes that somehow only highlighted her beauty. God, I missed her scent. I missed everything about her.<\/p>\n
Her eyes fell to the thick white bandages wrapped around my chest, and I could see the concern etched on her face.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you for taking that hit for me,\u201d she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeanna, as long as you\u2019re okay, none of it matters,\u201d I replied, trying to keep my tone gentle, despite the turmoil inside me.<\/p>\n
\u201cSit down,\u201d I urged, nodding toward the chair nearby.<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t budge. \u201cNo need. I\u2019ve got something to do after this.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDeanna, do you still hate me?\u201d I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, the distance in her tone sending a fresh wave of pain through my chest.<\/p>\n
I locked my gaze on hers, refusing to blink. \u201cDeanna \u2026 could this, just this once, count for something? Maybe cancel out at least some of the shit I put you through before?\u201d<\/p>\n
Pregnant\u2026?<\/p>\n
Boom.<\/p>\n
It felt like a bomb had detonated inside my head, leaving chaos in its wake.<\/p>\n
How could this happen?<\/p>\n
I shot upright, staring at the doctor, desperation creeping into my voice. \u201cAre you sure? Could you check again? There\u2019s no way I could be pregnant!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe already ran two tests after you passed out. This is the result,\u201d the doctor said, handing me an ultrasound printout.<\/p>\n
I stared at the image, my heart racing as reality crashed over me like a wave. For a moment, I froze, then slowly reached out and took it into my trembling hands.<\/p>\n
I gazed at the ultrasound, shock coursing through me, before my eyes fell to my stomach. I couldn\u2019t fathom that there was a new life growing inside me.<\/p>\n
A pureblood Alpha\u2019s child.<\/p>\n
But Luis and I had already broken up.<\/p>\n
The thought sent a chill through my veins, my hands clenching into fists as my face went pale.<\/p>\n
This sudden, unexpected news hit me like a tidal wave, leaving me gasping for breath.<\/p>\n
The doctor continued, \u201cWhere\u2019s the father? You\u2019ll need regular prenatal checkups starting soon. For now, given your condition, I recommend you stay in the hospital for a few days. We\u2019ll need the child\u2019s father to handle the admission paperwork.\u201d<\/p>\n
I bit my lip hard, my voice trembling as I asked, \u201cDoctor\u2026 is it possible to get rid of the baby?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2298","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2298","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=2298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
