All Chapters of Mated To My Master's Beta: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Ava POV "Thorne, why did you make me worry about you? Why did you scare me? You know I can't live without you. So why?" I demanded, hitting his chest over and over, tears streaming down my cheeks. My fists connected with his solid frame, but he didn't even flinch. "I'm sorry, my love. I just did that to protect us. I had to pretend to lose my memory to save you and Kaelen." He said softly, his large hands gripping mine gently to stop me from hitting him. I tried to pull away, but his grip was firm yet tender. "But you should have given me a hint. I can't stay away from you. I was really scared." My voice broke as the words tumbled out. He reached up with one hand and wiped the tears from my face.. "I promise I won't scare you like that again. I'm back now and together we'll get Kaelen back and we'll defeat Darien. His time is up." Before I could respond, he pulled me into a tight hug. I buried my face in his chest, breathing in his scent, feeling safe for the first time in forever

Ava's POV"Ava, please say something. You're scaring us." Briane's voice cracked with worry as she gently shook my shoulder.I couldn't respond. My mouth wouldn't form words. All I could do was stare at the floor, seeing nothing, feeling everything and nothing at the same time."Get her some water," Mira said urgently to someone. I heard footsteps rushing away."Ava, I'm so sorry." Ashlen's voice was thick with guilt. "I wish I had better news. I really do."Sorry. Everyone was always sorry. But sorry didn't bring my son back. Sorry didn't make Thorne remember me. Sorry was just a word people said when there was nothing else they could do.Nathan returned with a glass of water and pressed it into my hands. The glass felt cold against my palms, but I couldn't bring myself to drink. My hands were shaking so badly that water sloshed over the rim and onto my dress—the blue dress I'd put on to look pretty for Thorne. The dress he'd never see because he didn't even know who I was anymore."

Ava's POV "Ashlen just texted me. They're almost here," Nathan said, looking up from his phone. He pointed toward a spot in the distance. "I'll be inside that car with the others." I followed his gesture and saw a black car parked at the far end of the clearing—far enough away that Thorne wouldn't notice it, but close enough that Nathan and the others could reach me quickly if something went wrong. I nodded, not trusting my voice to work properly. My heart was pounding so hard I could feel it in my throat. It was finally happening. The D-day, as they called it. I was finally going to see Thorne after an entire month of being apart from him. It had been a week since we'd had that conversation in my bedroom about making a plan. Seven long days of waiting while Ashlen tried to figure out how to get Thorne away from Darien without raising suspicion. Seven days of barely sleeping, barely eating, constantly checking my phone for updates. I'd been praying every single day for t

Darien's POV "I thought you had forgotten all about me," I said, following her into the room and closing the door behind us with a soft click. I watched her move further into the dimly lit bedroom. My bedroom. The place where I'd taken so many women, but none of them had ever made me feel quite like she did. She let out a soft chuckle, the sound low and teasing. She didn't turn to face me, keeping her back toward me as she spoke. "No, I never forgot about you. I never stopped being loyal to you, Darien. Not for a single moment." She'd always had that effect on me—making me feel like I was the only man in the world who mattered to her. I watched as her hands moved to her jacket, slowly sliding it off her shoulders. The fabric fell away, revealing the thin singlet she wore underneath. The material clung to her body in all the right places. Her upper back was bare, smooth and flawless, the kind of skin that made you want to run your hands over it just to feel how soft it was. The si

FLASHBACK CONTINUES Mira's POV I spun around to see a cab pulling up alongside the curb. The driver, a man with gray hair was leaning over to look at me through the passenger window. Thankfully, I wasn't caught yet. "Do you need a ride?" he asked, apparently mistaking my startled expression for confirmation. Did I need a ride? Where was I even planning to go? But i need to at least leave this fucking place, to not be here when Briane and the others came back to pick me up. To buy myself some time to figure out my next move. "Yes," I said quickly, hurrying over to the cab. I fumbled with the door handle for a moment before managing to get it open and sliding into the back seat with Kaelen. "Where are you headed?" the driver asked as I settled in, trying to arrange Kaelen comfortably while also buckling the seatbelt. Where was I headed? I honestly didn't know where to tell him to go. I didn't know where Darien was staying now. I didn't even know if he'd want to see me or i
