Marked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 178

**Chapter 178: Are You Living with Mr. Eaton Now?**

Deanna’s POV:

The sound of Violet’s voice erupted from my phone, reverberating through my bedroom with an unexpected intensity. I hadn’t anticipated her keen observation of my surroundings, and for a fleeting moment, I was at a loss for words. How was I supposed to explain this? All I managed to utter was a half-hearted, “I’m at… a friend’s place.”

Luis stood nearby, his figure framed by the full-length mirror. I could feel his gaze flicker over to me, a quick, inscrutable glance that sent a shiver down my spine before he returned to the task of unfastening his tie.

Violet’s skepticism was palpable, her voice dripping with curiosity. “Really? I’m your only friend, and this isn’t my place. Wait a minute, are you living with Mr. Eaton now?”

Out of the corner of my eye, I observed Luis slowly unbuttoning his shirt, the fabric sliding off to reveal his bare chest and sculpted abs. The sight was undeniably captivating, and the raw Alpha energy radiating from him made my heart race.

I couldn’t help but let my gaze linger for a moment longer, but as embarrassment washed over me, I quickly averted my eyes. My voice trembled slightly as I protested, “It’s not… living together.”

Violet dismissed my words with a casual wave of her hand on the video call.

“I get it, I’m not your mom. I’m not here to judge. But if Mr. Eaton is going to whisk you away, he should at least have the decency to invite your best friends over for dinner.”

At this, I noticed Luis lift his chin, his interest piqued, his gaze now fixed on me with an intensity that made my heart flutter.

Violet continued, her voice teasing and playful. “I’ve never lived with a man before. What’s it like? You must have a fantastic sex life. Your face is all flushed. Am I interrupting something?”

“Violet!” I snapped, gritting my teeth as I lowered my voice, desperate to keep the conversation under control. “Don’t get weird ideas!”

Oh, why had I even picked up this call?

Violet waved her hand dismissively, her laughter ringing out.

“Fine, I won’t meddle in your love life. But listen, you’ve got to keep things exciting. Try some lingerie, keep him on his toes…”
