Marked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 257

**Chapter 257: It’s Been a While Since We’ve Done It**

**Deanna’s POV:**

There I was, perched next to Violet, my heart racing as I watched Erik methodically undo the buttons of his shirt, each one coming undone at a deliberate pace that felt like it was stretching time itself.

As the fabric parted, it revealed tantalizing glimpses of his sculpted abs, the kind of physique that inspired countless fanfictions from women who dared to dream. The sight of that V-line, so perfectly defined, sent a ripple of excitement through the room.

But then, just as he gripped the sides of his shirt, clearly ready to tear it open, my breath caught in my throat.

Every woman present was transfixed, their eyes gleaming with anticipation, like lions waiting for their meal to arrive—each breath a silent prayer for the show to continue.

Suddenly, a heavy weight descended over my head, plunging me into darkness.

What on earth was happening?

I was utterly bewildered.

“Should I call a film crew for you? Perhaps hire some adult-film producers, let you strip to your heart’s content?”

The room was filled with a familiar, deep voice that sliced through the tension like a knife—cold, territorial, and laced with an unmistakable fury.

As soon as those words echoed around me, I yanked the jacket off my head, my heart racing as I took in the sight of the imposing figure standing before us.

Erik, caught mid-strip, froze in place, his hands falling to his sides as he shrugged nonchalantly.

Robert, too, abandoned his peacock display, hastily tucking himself back into his shirt, a smirk playing on his lips.

The whispers that erupted around us spread like wildfire, igniting a buzz of excitement and envy.

“That’s the Mooncrown Pack Alpha—”

“Isn’t his pack a major investor in my last drama?”

“If that pure-blood Alpha looked at me just once, I could die happy—”

Luis swept his gaze across the room, a single glacial look silencing the chatter before he fixed his piercing eyes on Erik. “This is your idea of ‘keeping an eye on her’? Stripping for my mate?”

Erik immediately raised his hands in protest. “Correction: I was stripping for everyone, not specifically for her.”
