Ava's POV

I tried to lean on the wall, my hands trembling as I pressed my weight against it. The sharp, tearing pain in my back made my knees almost give way. My breath came short and fast, not because I was trying to breathe quickly but because each inhale made the pain worse.

It burned. Not a clean burn...not the kind you get from touching something hot and then pulling away... this was fucking more, like a knife had been buried in the muscles of my back and someone was twisting it in slow circles.

Death…death would be better than this. Death would mean release. Death would mean quiet. Death would mean no more counting the seconds until the next wave of agony hits. No more fear of when it will come back.

“Ah… God…” I muttered under my breath, clenching my teeth as another wave of agony stabbed up my spine. The pain crawled up my ribs, spreading like wildfire until it reached my skull. My vision blurred, and for a terrifying moment, I thought I was going to black out. I blinked

  • 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

  • Mated To My Master's Beta   Chapter 59

    Ava's POV I stumbled to the closet, pulling the phone from my pocket. My fingers shook as I pressed the buttons the way Thorne had shown me. It made an irking sound before I heard Thorne's voice. "Ava..." he called on the other end. “Thorne…” My voice broke, and fresh tears streamed down my cheeks. “Are you okay? What’s wrong? Where are you?” His voice was full of alarm. “Thorne…I was caught. The Alpha said…he’s going to punish me when he gets back, so I...” "What did you mean? How? I'm coming there right now." he said, his voice filled with concern. "Listen to me first, Thorne." I yelled, my voice strained. There was a pause. “Sorry, Ava. I’m listening.” I reached up to the top shelf of the closet, pulled the small poison bottle from my bra, and placed it there before resting my hand on the wood for support. "The Alpha is going to punish me but don't you ever mention that you know anything about it or that you were...the one that gave me the poison..." I said, my voice tr
