Semua Bab Captured by the Alpha's Love: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Zane’s POV"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked, shifting under his stare.I leaned against the doorframe, watching Mabel step out of the bathroom. The oversized tank top she wore was a tease—long enough to pass for a dress, loose enough to reveal more than it hid. My throat worked as heat curled low in my chest.She pressed her thighs together, folding her arms like she thought it’d shield her from me. Cute. Didn’t she know by now that I’d memorized every line of her body already?“Can I help you?” she asked, voice sharp, but her eyes slid away.I tilted my head, letting a smile tug at my mouth. “No need to be shy, wife. Remember the hotel room? I’ve seen and touched almost everywhere.” I let the pause hang on almost.Her sigh carried both exasperation and nerves. “Why are you here?”“To sleep.” I said it l

Split POV (Tyler, then Zane)“Is Zane awake?” Vivian asked without turning, her hands busy fixing her hair in the mirror.“Mhm,” I hummed, trying to hide the grin threatening to split my face.I’d just seen it with my own eyes—Mabel sprinting out of Zane’s room and slipping into hers, hair messy, legs bare, eyes wide like she had something to hide. No doubt she’d spent the night with him.I didn’t usually bother climbing up to the third floor, but Zane had shut the mind-link and I wanted to confirm he was up. Instead, I caught that sight in the hallway. Jackpot.I leaned against the doorframe now, arms crossed, waiting for Vivian to look at me properly. She caught my reflection in the glass and narrowed her eyes.“What happened?”“I won the bet.”Her brows furrowed. “What bet?”I smirked. “When Mabel came here

Zane’s POV“Where the hell did she go?”I shoved through the crowd, my voice rough as I called her name again. “Mabel!”Two women trailed at my side like shadows, pretending not to notice my irritation. I had already told them I was waiting for someone, yet they clung to me with empty chatter. Their words blurred into noise. All I cared about was the faint glimpse I’d caught—brown ears slipping through the bodies in front of me.Was it her? Or was I losing my mind?My chest tightened. The unease had started the moment she left me on that bench, but now it crawled under my skin like something sharp. She should have returned by now.“Move,” I growled at a group blocking my path. My shoulders brushed theirs as I forced through. The women behind me finally lost the courage to follow.‘Calm down,’ my wolf muttered.‘Calm down? She’s gone.

Mabel’s POV“I’ll be in my office,” Zane said, his tone clipped, and I couldn’t force a single word out in reply.The ride back had felt unreal. His hand had been warm around mine, steady in a way that made me forget where I was. Then he let go, opening the car door, and the cold rushed in. It was like the moment never happened.He came around to my side and held out his hand again. I took it without thinking, desperate for that fleeting heat. But the second my feet touched the ground, he released me. I stared at his back as he walked away, throat tight, words stuck somewhere I couldn’t reach.The sound of voices pulled me forward. Tina was in the kitchen. I followed, dragging my feet like I was under water. Kitchen meant work, and work meant focus. If I focused, maybe I wouldn’t think about how empty my palm felt.Inside, Tina stood with three younger Omegas, rattling off instructions. &ld

Ronan’s POV“You nervous, or just pretending you’re not?”Vivian’s teasing voice carried as she pushed the locker room door open ahead of me.I tightened the folded shorts in my hands. “Little of both,” I admitted.The path outside the packhouse curved into quiet woods, and Vivian kept up a steady stream of talk while I followed. She pointed at wide patches of grass where wooden beams and climbing ropes stood.“Obstacle courses,” she explained. “Human drills here, wolf drills out there. Anyone can train, but only those who pass get patrol duty or warrior rank.”Her tone was casual, but I could tell she wanted me to picture myself among them.By the time I realized, we were standing in front of a long two-story building. Vivian didn’t slow down, just tugged me inside.The air smelled of chlorine, metal, and faint sweat.“Pool to
