Chapter 432
\nMarked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 432<\/p>\n
Deanna’s POV:<\/p>\n
After leaving the city hall, we headed back to the Zedowood.<\/p>\n
Once we stepped through the door, it suddenly hit me that this place didn’t really feel right for newly bonded mates.<\/p>\n
Not to mention that in just a few more months, the pup in my belly would be born.<\/p>\n
As a mother, of course I wanted to give my child a good environment and a brand new home that was truly ours.<\/p>\n
“Do you have any other houses?”<\/p>\n
Luis raised an eyebrow. “Where do you want to live?”<\/p>\n
I thought about it seriously. “The house should be bigger, close to schools and hospitals, with convenient transportation, and enough room for two live-in servants.”<\/p>\n
As I listed out my requirements, I looked up to find Luis staring at me intently with those deep eyes of his.<\/p>\n
I touched my face. “What?”<\/p>\n
He let out a low chuckle and reached over to tuck a loose strand of hair behind my ear. “You have a certain vibe right now.”<\/p>\n
I played along. “What kind of vibe?”<\/p>\n
“The vibe of a wife.”<\/p>\n
My cheeks instantly flushed, and I shot him an annoyed glare.<\/p>\n
Luis grinned smugly, planted a kiss on my cheek, then strolled into the kitchen with a spring in his step.<\/p>\n
I sank into the couch, tucked my legs beneath me, and scrolled idly through my phone, occasionally stealing glances at the tall figure bustling around in the kitchen.<\/p>\n
He had taken off his suit jacket and wore only his white dress shirt, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his toned forearms as he skillfully prepared the ingredients. A warm, golden haze from the evening sun surrounded him where he stood by the window.<\/p>\n
Honestly, after the registration, our lives didn’t seem all that different.<\/p>\n
After all, we had already been living together for a while and were long familiar with each other’s presence and habits. But something had definitely changed. There was a deeper, more solid sense of security now. I could proudly declare to the whole world that he was my Alpha mate, and no one could take him from me.<\/p>\n
As I scrolled through my phone, a new notification suddenly popped up. It was an update on Luis’s social media.<\/p>\n
Posted half an hour ago.<\/p>\n
That little life who had depended on me so much and brought me countless moments of joy was now lying in the pack’s medical center, in a special care unit, kept alive by life support systems and medication, with no telling when he might wake up.<\/p>\n
But at least he was still alive. That miracle had come at the cost of everything I had, even risking harm to myself and my unborn pup.<\/p>\n
It was okay to feel sad and to miss him, but I couldn’t let myself drown in it.<\/p>\n
I needed to maintain my strength and keep my energy stable so I could visit Puddy regularly for maintenance treatments, using my healing ability to nurture his damaged life core. Maybe then he would wake up soon.<\/p>\n
I took a deep breath, saved the photo Luis had posted, and closed the app.<\/p>\n
Then I made a post of my own.<\/p>\n
“My Alpha. Here’s to the future together.”<\/p>\n
I attached a photo of the bond certificate.<\/p>\n
The moment I posted it, my phone exploded with notifications, messages pouring in like a flood.<\/p>\n
I glanced at the screen, turned off my phone, got up from the couch, and walked into the kitchen, one step at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2514","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2514","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=2514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
