Ava's POV

Knock.

Knock.

My heart nearly stopped. I froze in place, my hands still hovering near the closet. I quickly shut the closet door and turned around, trying to calm my breathing even though my chest was rising and falling too fast.

The door creaked open slowly, revealing Lyra. Relief washed over me immediately. “Ava,” Lyra said, stepping inside.

“Lyra,” I breathed, trying to act normal. “Why are you here?”

She walked closer to me, her eyes flicking toward the room like she was checking if anyone else was around. “Karen is asking of you,” she said.

“Oh.” I nodded slowly, still trying to slow my racing heart. “Let’s head to her then.” Then, I lowered my voice. “By the way,” I whispered, “I got the poison. I’m ready to use it on the Alpha.”

Her eyes widened, and I saw the fear flash in them before she quickly looked away. “You did?” she asked quietly.

“Yes,” I said with a firm nod. “It’s here already. I’m just waiting for the right moment.”

Lyra bit her lip,

  • Mated To My Master's Beta   Chapter 65

    Thorne's POV I didn’t even know where I was going. My hands were gripping the wheel so tight that my knuckles turned white. It’s not like I could go to our hometown and see my mom. That was out of the question. But I just needed to drive, to clear my head, because my chest was burning with the weight of what I had just heard. I still couldn’t believe it. Even if we killed Darien, even if everything went perfectly…Ava wouldn’t be free. Damn it. My jaw tightened and I slammed my fist against the steering wheel, the sound echoing inside the car. “Why the hell is everything like this?” I muttered, my voice shaking with rage. “Why are we cursed like this?” My chest rose and fell as if I couldn’t breathe right. It would have been easier if Ava had been like the other maids. Then, I could have convinced Darien to sell her. I would have bought her secretly, without him knowing, and protected her. But no...Darien would never let her go. He would rather destroy her than release her. My ph

  • Mated To My Master's Beta   Chapter 64

    Thorne's POV "You really need to control yourself, Thorne." Nathan said, his hand gripping my shoulder firmly. But his grip only fueled my wolf’s rage. I growled, the sound ripping from my chest before I could stop it, and shoved him off me. The force sent him flying across the room, his back crashing into the couch with a loud thud. My chest rose and fell harshly, claws half-shifting at my fingertips. "How dare he?" I growled, my voice shaking as anger boiled through me. My wolf wanted blood—Darien’s blood. Nathan groaned from the couch but sat up quickly, his gaze locking onto mine. "You know you'll never win against him like this, right? You know your anger is useless right now...except you wanna get yourself and your family killed. So, fucking control yourself, Thorne." His words sank in, my wolf clawed at the inside of me, but slowly, painfully, I forced it back down. My breathing steadied little by little. I glanced around at the mess I had caused. Shattered porcelain

  • Mated To My Master's Beta   Chapter 63

    Ava's POV It was like everywhere suddenly became silent. No, it was like my scream made me deaf already. I couldn’t hear anything again, not even my heartbeat."Alpha..." I heard a muffled sound, but I didn’t see who said it, and the sound faded too quickly.It took me a while to realise my hands were clamped tightly over my ears, pressing so hard it hurt. My eyes were shut so tight that little sparks of light flashed in the darkness. Could what just happened be a dream? Was I still asleep? Maybe if I opened my eyes, I’d wake up in my bed. Maybe Thorne would even be sitting there beside me, like nothing had happened at all.But…what if it was true? What if what I had just seen a second ago was real? The thought made my stomach twist violently. Would I be able to live with myself? Could I survive knowing someone had died…because of me?The Alpha had snatched the sword from one of his guards, and instead of coming to me like I had thought, he had turned in the opposite direction and st

  • Mated To My Master's Beta   Chapter 62

    Ava's POV The splash of water struck my face so suddenly that my whole body flinched. My eyes snapped open instinctively, but the sudden sting made me squeeze them shut again.For a moment, my brain couldn’t process what had just happened, it was like being yanked out of darkness into a blinding, burning light. My lashes felt heavy, clinging together as droplets ran down my cheeks and jaw. I tried to lick at the drops that reached my lips, desperate for even the smallest relief to the dryness scraping at my throat. My lips were cracked, my tongue rough against them. I didn’t care that the water tasted strange, as if it had been scooped from the bottom of a bucket that hadn’t been cleaned in months.God, I was so thirsty and all it cared about was the way my throat burned and begged for something, anything, to soothe it. “That’s dirty water,” a voice muttered nearby. “Poor girl,” another voice murmured. “What do you think you are doing? You are pitying her?” The sudden growl cam

  • Mated To My Master's Beta   Chapter 61

    Ava's POV "Stop, everybody!"The voice was a female's but it was sharp and loud that everywhere became silent. For a second, I didn’t know if I’d imagined it. My head was pounding so badly it felt like someone was hammering inside my skull, each thud echoing in my ears. I tried...God, I tried to force my eyes open, because that voice didn’t sound like Evelyn’s or any of the others who’d been circling me like vultures. My lashes fluttered, and for half a heartbeat I caught a flash of movement, people… and then the sting hit.A white-hot burn shot straight into my eyes, so sharp and sudden I hissed out loud and squeezed them shut again. It felt like someone had thrown a handful of sand into them and ground it in with their fist. My tears instantly welled again, making it impossible to see.“Are you guys daft or what?” the same female voice rang out again, louder this time, pitched in a way that made people listen. “Doesn’t it look to you that there are all bunch of lies that you are b

  • Mated To My Master's Beta   Chapter 60

    Ava’s POV I honestly didn’t know what punishment awaited me, but I’d made up my mind. I would survive. Not because I believed there was a happy ending for me here...no, that fantasy had died a long time ago. But because dying now would be meaningless. It'd be a waste. If I was going to go, it would be on my own terms. My death wouldn’t shift the balance of power in this place. It wouldn’t even be remembered. I’d be another nameless slave in a long line of nameless slaves. But if I stayed alive…maybe, just maybe, I could claw my way out one day. The sound of heavy boots on the floor cut through my thoughts. Two of Alpha Darien’s guards entered the kitchen without knocking, but instead of speaking, they crossed the distance, grabbed me under the arms, and hauled me to my feet. My heart thudded against my ribs. They were taking me. “Where are you taking her?” Karen’s voice snapped. I turned my head to see she was already moving toward us, her body blocking the path to the door. The
