All Chapters of Captured by the Alpha's Love: Chapter 241 - Chapter 250

Zane’s POV"We should visit your parents more often."River water still clung to her hair. I felt the cool strands against my neck as I carried her up the trail. The falls roared behind us. My boots sank into soft earth where our bodies had pressed the grass flat. Two pairs of shoes still sat on the cliff. I did not go back for them."I want to bring flowers," Mabel said. She tucked closer in my arms. "And thank them. That place helps me think. I see things clear there.""Good," I said. My voice came out low. My chest felt lighter than it had in days."I realized something," she said. "No matter what happened before, I do not see my future without you. I will calm my wolf. I will learn. I want to be the Luna you and our pack deserve."I kissed her forehead. "You are already more than I deserve, kitten. There is no manual for Luna. You are right for this pack. You are right for me."She smiled. She did not argue.

Mabel’s POV“I still don’t get why you had to come with me,” I muttered, keeping my eyes on the road as Adrian lounged in the passenger seat like he owned it.“Who else was supposed to drive?” he asked, far too smug.“I can drive just fine,” I snapped. “You’re up to something. And don’t think I don’t notice you scheming with Sullivan.”He gave a lazy shrug. “What’s wrong with me having friends? Or is fun only allowed for she-wolves?”I rolled my eyes. Adrian’s version of fun meant drinking until he couldn’t walk and then chasing whichever girls lingered near him. Sullivan, on the other hand, barely touched a drink and avoided women like they carried disease. They were polar opposites. Adrian hanging around him made no sense.“Fine, don’t tell me. Just leave Mabel out of it. She’s a good girl, and Zane

Mabel’s POV"Are you sure about this, Mabel?" Navy’s tone was sharp, like she already hated my answer before I gave it.I remembered her words from the Summer Solstice festival. She never liked the idea of being tied to an Alpha.Navy wasn’t the type to live in someone else’s shadow, even if that someone was her fated mate. She was accomplished, confident, and restless. To her, being a Luna meant clipping her own wings. She pictured endless duties, pack management, social events, and less and less time for the things she loved.I was different. For most of my life, I didn’t even know what dreams looked like. Now the ones I had were small, simple, and so far Zane wasn’t standing in the way. He encouraged me. Any future goals I made, I wanted him in them.Would things change later? Maybe. But I couldn’t keep borrowing trouble."I’m not thinking that far ahead," I told her. "Zane

Zane’s POV“Any ideas, Max?”Adrian tipped his glass and smirked. “Only one.”I leaned forward, desperate for something I could use. “Which one?”“We need women.”I froze, heat rushing up my neck. “Are you brain-damaged? I told you ten minutes ago that Mabel is my mate. You think I want more women hanging around? Or are you just trying to see me suffer?”Adrian waved me down, lazy and calm. “Not like that. Not for your bed. For their brains. I’m good at breaking jaws and making people kneel. If subtlety’s needed, I call my sister.”I exhaled through my nose, shoulders loosening a bit. He had a point. When it came to plans, Vivian was sharper than any of us. She thought, we executed.“Think Navy would help?” I asked.Adrian’s grin turned sly. “You know what she wants. A fat ch

Mabel’s POV“I can’t believe you called this a date,” I whispered as Zane pulled me from the SUV.He grinned wide, hand firm around mine. “Because it is a date, kitten.”My cheeks burned. Sparks jumped where his fingers wrapped mine, alive and constant, making it impossible to think straight. I nodded, trying to act calm even though this was the first time we were stepping out together in public, here on Stonebrook land. It was huge.The others waited at the lot. Tyler and Vivian stood close, relaxed. Alpha Adrian loomed beside Navy, already smirking like he had a comment stored.“Totally whipped,” Adrian muttered loud enough for me to hear the jab.Zane’s arm slid around my waist before my heels touched the ground. Adrian’s smirk widened until Navy jabbed him hard with her elbow.“Shut it,” she hissed.He winced, rubbing his ribs. “Wha
