Ava's POV

"Thorne." I muttered involuntarily.

"I'm sorry, Ava. I'm so sorry for everything." He said. I couldn't say anything, I just nodded into his hand that was still on my cheeks. "I wish I could do something. I really wish I could."

“You don’t have to do anything, Thorne. You can’t do anything...” I whispered, my voice crumbling. I didn’t mean it to sound cruel, but it did.

His hand didn’t move. His thumb brushed gently beneath my eye, and I flinched—not because it hurt, but bec

    Mira's POV "Why are you here with us?" Briane suddenly asked, tilting her head slightly as she studied me from across the room, her arms crossed but her expression softer than it had been just hours earlier. "What…are you still mad at me?" I asked, my voice small, bracing myself for whatever answer might come next, my hands twisting nervously in my lap. Maybe I'm not supposed to be standing here with them. "No, of course I'm still mad at you, but that's not what I'm saying." She said, waving a hand dismissively, though the corner of her mouth twitched with the faintest hint of amusement. "I'm saying, why are you here with us and not with Nathan? You two should be having a conversation right now. Or are you guys cool? Like, actually cool?" "I…" I stuttered, not knowing quite what to say, my mind scrambling for words that wouldn't come. I don't know if Nathan even wants to talk to me right now, not after everything, not after all the weeks I spent pretending to be something I wa

  • Mated To My Master's Beta   Chapter 160

    Thorne's POV I watched as Ava breastfed Kaelen, her whole body soft and unguarded in a way I hadn't seen in what felt like a lifetime, before she gently placed him in his rocker, watching him drift off into a peaceful sleep with a tenderness that made my chest ache. Then she stood up from the bed, crossed the room toward the mirror on the wardrobe, and slowly unzipped her gown, letting it pool at her feet until she stood there in nothing but her bra and panties, the soft light of the room catching against her skin. "Stop looking and come help me." She said, catching my reflection in the mirror, a teasing smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. I stood up immediately, a smile finding its way to my cheeks despite everything we'd been through only hours earlier, and crossed the room to stand behind her. She watched me in the mirror the entire time as I stepped closer, and I leaned down to press a kiss against her neck before unhooking her bra slowly, deliberately, placing another

  • Mated To My Master's Beta   Chapter 159

    Darien's POV My head still can't wrap around the fact that I have been trapped, that I, of all people, had fallen into the hands of these dimwits and their pathetic little scheme. How could that even happen? How could I have been so gullible, so easily led around by the nose by a group of humans and half-wits who should never have been able to get anywhere near me, let alone humiliate me in front of over a hundred witnesses? I had a feeling since this morning that things were going to get ruined somehow, some nagging voice in the back of my mind whispering warnings I chose to dismiss as paranoia, but I wasn't expecting something this bad, and I certainly wasn't expecting that I wouldn't even be there, wouldn't be able to do a single thing to stop it while it was actually happening right under my nose. And the most infuriating, almost laughably absurd part of all this is that those dimwits had come completely alone. They weren't backed by any Alpha, weren't flanked by any army of

  • Mated To My Master's Beta   Chapter 158

    Darien's POVI think the best word that comes close to what I'm feeling right now is anger, though even that word feels too small, too tame for the storm raging through my chest, because what I'm feeling right now is something closer to madness, something that claws at the inside of my ribs and demands blood before it will settle. I just want to tear each one of them apart, every single person who had a hand in tonight's humiliation, piece by piece, until there's nothing left of them but a warning to anyone else who might think of crossing me.Ava, that cunning bitch, things always work out in her favor every single fucking time, and I can't understand how a woman I broke so completely, so many times over, still manages to slip through my fingers again and again like water I can never quite hold onto. That's fucking impossible, and yet here I am, standing in the wreckage of everything I built, proof that it happened anyway.I roared so loudly that I could feel the floor shake beneath

    Mira's POV "What are you talking about?" Rhea asked, her voice rising sharply with disbelief. Her eyes were wide open, so wide I could see the whites all around her irises. Her mouth hung open slightly and she took a step forward, staring at Nathan like he'd lost his mind. "Yes, that's litera

    Mira's POV "How could all these be happening?" Ava cried out, her voice breaking completely. Her whole body seemed to give out and she collapsed onto the floor, her legs folding beneath her. Her hands hit the ground first, catching her fall. Briane immediately rushed to her side, moving so fast s

The shock knocked the breath right out of my lungs, and all that came out was a choked cough. My whole body trembled. I couldn’t think. Couldn’t breathe. My heart pounded like a hamm
