All Chapters of Captured by the Alpha's Love: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Mabel’s POV“You’re not leaving me again, right?” Zane’s voice was low, rough, and close enough that his breath touched my ear.My chest tightened. I wrapped my arms around him and pressed my face into the heat of his shirt. The fabric smelled like cedarwood and faint smoke, steadying me even as my eyes stung. I wasn’t the type to cry, yet everything inside me tangled—anger, relief, sadness, joy. They all crashed at once, and I pushed closer, hoping he could steady the storm.“I’m sorry,” I whispered.He stiffened. “I told you, no more apologies. If you mean it, then don’t walk off. Don’t leave me.”So that was it. He thought I left him. I only wanted space, a minute to breathe. How could I have known it would spiral like this—two men on the floor, Zane looking like a monster to everyone else, when to me he was the only calm left?I sho

(Mabel’s POV)"What did you just say?" I asked, blinking at Zane."You heard me," he said. "Undress me."My gaze flicked to his shirt, then to his pants, and back to his face. He couldn’t mean completely. Right?But then I remembered. He had bragged more than once that he wasn’t wearing underwear. If that was true, all that stood between him and nakedness was his shirt and pants. My throat dried."Just the shirt, right?" I asked.His brow arched. "Are you trying to bargain with me, Mrs. Blake?"I pressed my lips tight and focused on the row of buttons, as if they were enemies.This wasn’t a big deal. I had seen him shirtless before. I had even clung to him while sleeping. I could do this.I inhaled deeply and forced my trembling fingers to move. Each button slipped free under his steady gaze. He smirked, enjoying my unease, and I hated how handsome he looked while doing it.

(Mabel’s POV)"You are mine," Zane whispered, his lips brushing against my ear. "Say it, kitten. Say it out loud.""I am yours," I breathed, barely able to form words.His eyes searched mine. "Do you mean it?""Yours to touch. Yours to kiss. Yours to hold."His mouth curved, soft and dangerous. "Mine to love."That smile stole the air from my lungs. I didn’t know if it was his words, his gaze, or the heat of him pressed between my thighs, sliding slick over my folds."Let me love you," he murmured. "In every way."My body answered before my mind could.The blunt head of his cock pressed against me and I froze, clutching his shoulders."This might hurt at first," Zane said, voice steady though I felt the tremor in his muscles. "I’ll be gentle."I bit down on my lip as pressure spread through me. The stretch burned and my nails dug into his back. His forehead was damp, a vei

Mabel’s POV“If you sleep now, we’ll miss breakfast, kitten.”Zane’s voice brushed close to my ear, low and husky, pulling me back from the edge of drifting off.I smiled faintly, still wrapped in the haze of the morning. My hair slid smoothly between his fingers as he combed through, gentle tugs on my scalp sending tiny sparks down my spine. I let my eyes close again.The memory of what came before lingered with the daylight. His hands on me. His mouth everywhere I wanted him most. The air was hot against my skin, sticky with sweat, and I had watched him above me, every muscle tight with focus, every breath deep and rough. I could still feel the heat of his chest against mine, the rhythm that built until it drowned out thought itself.Each kiss, each brush of his lips across my body, had left me shaking. My voice had broken into gasps I didn’t know I was capable of making. His growl in my ear, t

Tanisha’s POV“I’m going to greet the future Luna,” a woman’s voice carried across the room, low but clear enough to reach me.I lifted my head from the table, lips pressed in a stiff smile that had been plastered on far too long. My cheeks ached. Fake pleasantries had drained me dry, and if not for Trevon sitting at my side, I might have bolted long ago.The woman in question walked toward me with her chin high, eyes sharp. It took me a second to place her. Lydia. She was with Wendy yesterday when they cornered Mabel. Wendy had done the talking, but the two of them were a pair. My chest tightened. Did I really have to deal with her now?I forced my gaze away, hoping she would lose interest, but she didn’t. She extended her stride, closing the gap between us with the certainty of someone who thought she belonged everywhere.Before she reached me, a cheerful voice rang out. “Lia!”
