Marked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 186

**Chapter 186: I’m Going to the Restroom**

In the softly lit ambiance of the restaurant, Deanna nudged Luis with her elbow, a subtle yet firm gesture urging him to temper his thoughts. She could sense the tension in the air, the way words could twist and turn, and she didn’t want Zelena to feel uncomfortable.

“Zelena, don’t take him seriously. He has this habit of speaking whatever comes to mind…” Deanna reassured, her voice laced with warmth.

Zelena managed to muster a smile, though it was more rigid than genuine, before finally placing her glass down on the table with a soft thud.

Violet, ever the social butterfly thanks to her experience in the entertainment world, seized the moment with a playful jab. “So, what kind of gratitude are we talking about here, exactly?”

Luis leaned back, a lazy grin spreading across his face as he replied, “If I wanted to shoot an indie film directed by Jason Fallon this year, do you think Mr. Eaton might lend me a hand—just because of Deanna?”

Deanna’s heart skipped a beat as she bit her lip, the words hanging in the air like a sweet promise. “Violet!”

Violet let out a light laugh, the sound dancing through the air. “What? Are you already that protective of him?”

Luis didn’t offer a direct answer; instead, he let his gaze linger warmly on Deanna. His tone was languid, almost teasing. “It’s really up to her.”

Violet, having navigated the werewolf entertainment industry long enough, understood the weight of those words. It was a subtle declaration that, as long as Deanna was on board, anything was feasible.

It was clear that Luis wasn’t just doing a favor for a friend; he was laying it all out on the table—Deanna’s desires took precedence, even if it meant pulling some serious strings.

Jason Fallon was a titan in the world of werewolf cinema, known for his artful films that only featured seasoned actors, those with years of experience and a reputation that preceded them.

For Violet, who primarily starred in idol dramas, the mere thought of auditioning for such a prestigious project felt like a distant dream. She had been joking when she first brought it up, never truly expecting a serious response.

Yet, with Luis’s affirmative words hanging in the air, a spark of hope ignited within her.

She cast another keen glance at Luis, her mind racing. No matter how affluent he was, no man would extend such generosity unless there was genuine affection involved. Men like him didn’t waste their time on whims.

As these thoughts swirled in her mind, Violet felt a genuine happiness for Deanna, her smile widening as she raised her glass. “Mr. Eaton, you truly are generous! Here’s to that—cheers!”

The server, attentive and efficient, kept their glasses filled to the brim, the clinking of crystal echoing their camaraderie.
