Chapter 429
\nMarked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 429<\/p>\n
Violet’s POV:<\/p>\n
Erik and I were walking one behind the other when we saw Luis carrying Deanna, heading straight toward us.<\/p>\n
Deanna was being discharged today, and I had originally come to keep her company.<\/p>\n
But seeing Luis carrying her like this, I stood there feeling a bit awkward.<\/p>\n
I didn’t know whether to approach them or not.<\/p>\n
Erik, following behind me, chuckled. “What’s the matter? Jealous? I can carry you, too, you know.”<\/p>\n
I rolled my eyes at him. “Like hell you will. I’m not even pregnant.”<\/p>\n
“Well, why don’t you try getting pregnant then? Maybe I’d be even more attentive than Luis.”<\/p>\n
“Get lost.”<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Deanna’s POV:<\/p>\n
Luis carried me all the way and set me down in the passenger seat.<\/p>\n
He closed the door, walked around the hood, settled into the driver’s seat, and casually started the engine.<\/p>\n
The sleek black Ferrari glided smoothly down the road.<\/p>\n
The sun was beautiful today, casting golden light across the earth, and the pine trees lining the road left dappled shadows dancing through the car windows as we passed.<\/p>\n
Luis had one hand resting against the window and the other on the steering wheel. He wore a white custom-tailored dress shirt today, no tie.<\/p>\n
The shadows of the trees played across his chiseled profile, softening his sharp jawline and making him look devastatingly handsome.<\/p>\n
I couldn’t help but lean over the center console and poke his sculpted arm. “Aren’t we going home?”<\/p>\n
Luis glanced at me from the corner of his eye without saying a word. He switched hands on the steering wheel and wrapped his other hand around my fidgeting one, his warm fingertips grazing my ring finger ever so lightly.<\/p>\n
“We’re going somewhere.”<\/p>\n
“Where?”<\/p>\n
“You’ll see.”<\/p>\n
The Ferrari turned a corner, continued straight down the road, and pulled to a stop in front of the city hall.<\/p>\n
Our gazes intertwined in the small space of the car, and the air seemed to thicken, charged with an unspoken, burning intensity.<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry. I wanted to make this special for you, so I kept putting it off until today.”<\/p>\n
“Mm.”<\/p>\n
My breathing quickened, and my heart began to pound uncontrollably against my chest, each beat harder than the last.<\/p>\n
Luis got out first, walked around to my side, and opened the door for me.<\/p>\n
The bright afternoon sunlight spilled over his white shirt, casting a golden halo around him. He bent down slightly and extended his hand to me. That hand was elegant and strong, with defined knuckles, palm facing up in a gesture of invitation. “My Luna, allow me.”<\/p>\n
I took a deep breath, and after a moment, placed my hand in his palm and stepped out of the car.<\/p>\n
The moment I was out, something cool slipped onto my ring finger.<\/p>\n
I looked down to find a simple, elegant diamond ring now sitting on my finger.<\/p>\n
The ring wasn’t flashy or over-the-top, but it was clearly expensive. The white diamond had a soft pink tint to it, and it fit just a touch loose on my hand.<\/p>\n
It was clearly different from the sapphire ring he had given me at the proposal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2511","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2511","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=2511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
