Chapter 418
\nMarked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 418<\/p>\n
Third-person POV:<\/p>\n
Inside an apartment in a run-down residential block.<\/p>\n
Jerry and Alice Bond sat with dark, heavy expressions on their faces, their features grim. They were only in their sixties, yet looked closer to their late seventies or eighties.<\/p>\n
They never imagined that after a lifetime of living, losing their money would be one thing, but after returning to Nordvale, they would have to sneak around just to go outside, like thieves in the night.<\/p>\n
When they asked their daughter what she had done, she only snapped irritably, saying, “Don’t worry about it. Just be careful when you go out!”<\/p>\n
Not long ago, she had promised to take them abroad to enjoy a comfortable life.<\/p>\n
And what happened instead? They didn’t enjoy any comfort at all. They were living even more miserably than they ever had in Nordvale.<\/p>\n
Her new boyfriend not only tricked her out of all her money again, but also abused her, and didn’t even spare the two of them, these frail old bones.<\/p>\n
Gosh!<\/p>\n
Just thinking about it made them feel how cruel their fate was.<\/p>\n
They had spoiled their daughter rotten when she was young, raising her to be proud and arrogant, convinced of her own superiority.<\/p>\n
They never thought that this would become her fatal flaw.<\/p>\n
Alice sighed heavily. “You’ve already been scammed once. Was the lesson from Felix not enough? When you find another boyfriend, can’t you look more carefully? What’s the use of being handsome? Can good looks put food on the table?”<\/p>\n
Zelena’s POV:<\/p>\n
I wandered back and forth inside the apartment, my eyes dull and empty, sharp flashes of pain constantly blooming across my face.<\/p>\n
Originally, I never planned to come back. After taking the money from Ruth, I wanted to live my own good life.<\/p>\n
Who knew the Nyra loved tormenting me this much?<\/p>\n
Abroad, I met a man named Alan Moreno.<\/p>\n
He was handsome, with striking brows and eyes, the corners of his eyes slightly upturned, his profile impossibly sexy.<\/p>\n
At that moment, I nearly felt dizzy.<\/p>\n
The last time I had seen a man this handsome, this devastatingly attractive, was that pure-blood Alpha from the Mooncrown Pack.<\/p>\n
I was never willing to accept it.<\/p>\n
Why could Deanna find someone like Luis, a top-tier Alpha?<\/p>\n
Tonight, at the night market, I saw the smile on Deanna’s face.<\/p>\n
It was so radiant. So damn dazzling.<\/p>\n
It made me want to tear it apart, no matter the cost!<\/p>\n
Why?<\/p>\n
Why am I living in such poverty and misery, while Deanna lives so happily?<\/p>\n
The poison of jealousy flooded my veins in an instant. My fangs extended uncontrollably inside my mouth, only to be bitten back down hard, filling my mouth with a metallic sweetness.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, an idea struck me.<\/p>\n
Recently, I’ve been lingering around the estate of the Mooncrown pack and overheard some things.<\/p>\n
It seems there will be a grand proposal ceremony there tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Thinking of this, I curled my lips into a cold smile.<\/p>\n
I can’t be the only miserable one in this world!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2500","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2500","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=2500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
