\nMarked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 249<\/p>\n
**Chapter 249: Fiasco**<\/p>\n
In the midst of the chaos, Luis\u2019s lips twisted into a smirk, his voice languid yet laced with an undercurrent of steel.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Vaughn,\u201d he drawled, each word dripping with condescension, \u201cit seems you\u2019ve overlooked the essential parenting handbook. Allow me to take the reins here. We wouldn\u2019t want the world to believe that a pack funded by Mooncrown raises wolves devoid of basic manners. It would reflect poorly on my pack, you see.\u201d<\/p>\n
He squeezed the trigger once more\u2014pop, pop, pop\u2014sending beads ricocheting off the twins, their howls of distress echoing through the air.<\/p>\n
Just then, like a knight charging into battle, a wiry old woman burst onto the scene, her presence commanding.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandma! Grandma, save us\u2014and Dad!\u201d the boys cried, relief flooding their voices as they spotted her.<\/p>\n
Shania Vaughn, their grandmother, planted herself firmly, her eyes ablaze with fury. \u201cYou cruel, heartless brute! Hitting my grandsons and my son? May your pups be born without butts!\u201d Her voice rang out, fierce and unyielding.<\/p>\n
Luis turned his gaze to Deanna, his expression cool as ice, as if the heat of the moment barely registered. \u201cNo need to worry, Deanna. Whether my child has a backside or not is none of your concern.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut yours?\u201d he continued, his tone dropping to a dangerously silky whisper. \u201cAfter today, I doubt they\u2019ll even need pants.\u201d<\/p>\n
He tilted his head, a crooked smile playing on his lips, a mix of challenge and mischief. \u201cThey attempted to take you down together. So, what do you say we join forces, return the favor, and obliterate the enemy line?\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna simply stared at him, her mind racing.<\/p>\n
Is this really what we\u2019ve come to? Pack warfare? And he\u2019s suggesting we team up? Unbelievable.<\/p>\n
Shania, reveling in her role as protector, spread her arms wide, a barrier for her family. \u201cIf you dare to shoot, then hit me! I\u2019m old\u2014let\u2019s see if you have the guts!\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna tugged gently on Luis\u2019s sleeve, her voice firm yet pleading. \u201cOkay, that\u2019s enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis lowered his lashes, his gaze shifting to her delicate fingers gripping his coat, his voice slow and almost menacing. \u201cAnd what if I hadn\u2019t shown up? They could have harmed my unborn wolf pup. Then what would you have done?\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna was left momentarily speechless, her thoughts a whirlwind.<\/p>\n
She had already envisioned herself wielding a broom like a bat\u2014no helpless damsel here.<\/p>\n
Feeling the intensity of his stare where her fingers had just been, she quickly released him.<\/p>\n
Vince\u2019s face darkened, his jaw tightening. \u201cMom, what are you doing? Move! Stop causing trouble! He\u2019s my biggest investor and a dominant Alpha!\u201d<\/p>\n
Shania puffed herself up even more, indignant.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care if he\u2019s the Wolf King reborn\u2014you don\u2019t lay a finger on my boys. I\u2019m an elder\u2014he wouldn\u2019t dare touch me!\u201d<\/p>\n
Now, Shania truly wailed, tears streaming down her face, snot bubbling up in a performance worthy of an Oscar.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou all saw that! This Alpha is merciless! Attacking an old lady\u2014call the Werewolf Enforcement Bureau! Son, get me a lawyer! I\u2019m suing him for everything!\u201d<\/p>\n
Vince looked as if his very soul was being ripped from his body.<\/p>\n
Just earlier, he had been on the brink of negotiating peace, and now everything was spiraling into chaos.<\/p>\n
His company, his investments\u2014set ablaze by two wild children and their reckless grandmother.<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, stop! Get up! If you keep this circus going, I\u2019ll lose my entire company!\u201d<\/p>\n
In desperation, he reached down to pull her up.<\/p>\n
The hotel manager, phone in hand, was ready to call for enforcement\u2014until Aaron stepped in front of him, blocking his path.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re a bold manager, pretending you don\u2019t recognize your own boss?\u201d Aaron said, his voice low and threatening.<\/p>\n
He gestured sharply at the wolf guards. \u201cWhat are you waiting for? Remove this entire family.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2331","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2331","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=2331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
