All Chapters of Love is Hell; Mate is Heaven: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Mabel’s POV“I said leave.” Zane’s voice cut sharp, his hand pressing harder on Ronan’s shoulder.“And I said he stays.” My words came out steady, even though my chest was tight. His Alpha aura pushed like a heavy wall, but I refused to bow. Not this time.Zane’s eyes narrowed. If it weren’t for the space between Ronan and me, Zane would have torn him apart already. One wrong move and Ronan’s neck was gone.Ronan scrambled up, his shirt clinging to his back with sweat. He looked like someone had dumped a bucket of water on him. Every nerve in his body screamed danger, and he knew it.“I’m sorry, Mabel, but—”I hated that he was giving in. Not just to Zane’s order, but to the idea that Zane could walk in here and control everything. He wasn’t my boss. He wasn’t anyone’s boss outside his pack.Zane promised me he’d come to the festival. He didn’t. He promised me he’d show up. Instead, he disappeared with some random gir

Zane’s POV “Are you willing to come with me?” Zane asked, eyes locked on mine.I didn’t mean to answer so fast, but the word slipped out anyway. “Okay.”His smile deepened, and I felt my chest tighten.I slid off his lap, and he winced.“What’s wrong?” I asked quickly.“My legs are numb.”“Oh.” My face warmed. I had been sitting there too long. “Sorry.”He smirked. “If you’re really sorry, help me.”I reached out my hand, but he just stared at it.“What’s that for?” he asked.“To help you up.”“I can’t feel my legs. Unless you can carry me, there’s no point.”I frowned. “So… how do I help?”“Massage.” His tone was casual, but his eyes gleamed. “It’ll

Mabel’s POV"I want that wolf," I said, pointing at the hanging toys.Zane followed my finger, eyes narrowing. "I see five wolves. Be specific. Or do you want me to win them all?""Not all," I said quickly. "Just the black one."His brows lifted. The one that looked almost like… him.For a second, I saw his expression shift. He’d never shown me his wolf form, except once, when he thought I was asleep in the forest. Was this just coincidence? I couldn’t tell. His face gave nothing away.He turned to the vendor. "The black wolf. If I land all five rings on the back posts, it’s ours, right?"The vendor nodded eagerly.Zane lined up, cool and calm, and with each flick of his wrist, a ring landed cleanly on the farthest post. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Perfect.I gasped, my mouth open.His grin turned smug. "You saw that?"I nodded, still in awe.He looked

Mabel’s POV"We need to move," Dawn whispered, tugging on my arm.I blinked at her, still caught in the rhythm of the drums, my feet moving with the other dancers. Only when I saw Zina’s worried face beside her did I realize something was wrong."Where are we going?" I asked, refusing to budge until I got an answer."Alpha mind-linked us," Zina said in a low voice. "Everyone who can’t fight has to go to the safe houses. He told us to bring you.""What? Why?""We don’t know," Dawn said. Her hand tightened on my sleeve. "Orders are orders. We’re Omegas, we can’t fight. If things turn bad, we’ll just get in the way."The dancers around us thinned. The music still played, but the crowd no longer swayed as one. My eyes searched for Zane. The spot where he had been was empty. Only his bag remained."Come on." Zina tugged harder. "Don’t run. We don’t want to alarm

Mabel’s POV“Feed me and I’ll tell you what happened tonight,” Zane said, his voice lazy as he leaned back against the chaise.I rolled my eyes at him, but I tore a piece of quiche with my fingers and pushed it toward his waiting mouth. He smirked while chewing, smug like a man who had just won a small victory.The balcony was quiet except for the faint buzz of night insects. The air smelled of cool stone and the faint trace of pine drifting in from the forest. It felt strange to sit here with him, sharing food where no one else was allowed.He swallowed and finally spoke. “I left the festival as soon as I got the alert. My warriors caught two men sneaking through the trees. They confessed there were others inside town. By the time I reached them, we already had five detained. They’re in the dungeon now.”My stomach turned at the word dungeon. I didn’t need details about what “i
