**Chapter 299: Drove the Lamborghini**<\/p>\n
*Deanna\u2019s POV:*<\/p>\n
I burst out of the villa, my heart racing as I put some distance between myself and the lavish building. Just a few yards away, I hesitated, my breath catching in my throat. Luis was leaning against the sleek body of the car, a picture of relaxed defiance, but there was something unsettling about his appearance. His face bore an unnatural flush, a stark contrast to the cool night air.<\/p>\n
His eyes were closed, and the gentle breeze tousled his short hair, making him look almost ethereal in the dim light. He was a pure-blood Alpha, a being who could command respect and instill fear in the hearts of werewolves. Yet, in this moment, he seemed almost fragile, like a delicate flower caught in a storm, and that realization sparked a flicker of concern deep within me.<\/p>\n
The night wind whispered through the branches overhead, creating a soft symphony that accompanied my thoughts. I stood there, rooted to the spot, watching him with a mixture of admiration and worry. My emotions churned inside me, a tempest of confusion that slowly morphed into something more tangible\u2014anxiety.<\/p>\n
After what felt like an eternity, I let out a soft sigh, breaking the spell that held me captive. With hesitant steps, I made my way toward him, each footfall echoing my inner turmoil. It felt as though something was snapping within me, a barrier crumbling under the weight of my feelings.<\/p>\n
In front of Luis, I was utterly defenseless. He must have sensed my presence because, as if drawn by an invisible thread, he opened his eyes. The moonlight cast a soft glow in their depths, illuminating his features. When his gaze landed on me, a flicker of surprise danced across his handsome face.<\/p>\n
As I approached the car, he reached out, grabbing my wrist with a firm yet gentle grip, pulling me inside. I settled into his lap, my heart racing for reasons I couldn\u2019t quite decipher.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou actually came?\u201d he asked, his voice a low, gravelly murmur that sent shivers down my spine.<\/p>\n
I rolled my eyes, trying to mask my irritation with a playful glare. \u201cI came to collect your body,\u201d I shot back, unable to resist the urge to tease him.<\/p>\n
A chuckle escaped his lips as he buried his face against my neck, inhaling deeply. \u201cI\u2019m all yours. Collect me however you wish,\u201d he replied, his tone laced with a teasing warmth.<\/p>\n
I frowned, a mix of exasperation and concern swirling within me. Why did he have to be so reckless with his health? It was infuriating to see him so nonchalant about his well-being.<\/p>\n
Then, his voice broke through my thoughts again, low and slightly raspy. \u201cI missed you.\u201d<\/p>\n
I blinked, taken aback. \u201cWe literally saw each other this morning,\u201d I reminded him, my tone incredulous.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nighttime now,\u201d he countered, a hint of a pout forming on his lips. \u201cIt\u2019s been six hours. Why don\u2019t you just move back to Crestwood Park, hmm?\u201d<\/p>\n
I chose silence, my fingers reaching up to touch his forehead. The heat radiating from him was alarming\u2014far worse than I had anticipated.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re burning up. You need to go to the hospital,\u201d I insisted, my voice firm.<\/p>\n
After a few moments, I heard Luis\u2019s lazy voice cutting through the rush of wind. \u201cFloor it.\u201d<\/p>\n
I bit my lip, staring at him as if he had lost his mind. \u201cExcuse me?!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis isn\u2019t fast enough for you? There\u2019s a red light up ahead!\u201d he exclaimed, barely lifting his eyelids.<\/p>\n
I was taken aback, my heart racing for a different reason now. I slammed on the brakes, my pulse quickening as I realized how close I had come to running that light.<\/p>\n
Forty minutes later, we finally arrived at Crestwood Park. As I stepped out of the car, my legs felt unsteady, like jelly beneath me. I shot an annoyed glare at the arrogant Lamborghini, feeling a mix of frustration and disbelief.<\/p>\n
\u201cDummy,\u201d I muttered under my breath.<\/p>\n
Luis ruffled my hair playfully, a grin spreading across his face. \u201cYou\u2019re just not used to it. I\u2019ll teach you next time,\u201d he said, his eyes sparkling with mischief.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo thanks,\u201d I replied, shaking my head vehemently. I had no desire to ever touch that kind of car again in my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2381","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2381","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=2381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
