Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mated To My Master's Beta: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

FLASHBACK CONTINUES Ava's POV "Ava, you can't do this. Please, listen to us this once. Don't do anything drastic." Rhea cried out from the other side of the door, her voice breaking. I could hear her pressed against the metal, could imagine her hands flat against it, trying to reach me through the barrier between us. "No words can get to me. I already made up my mind." I cried back, my voice shaking. I was holding the hard part of the knife handle, gripping it tightly as I looked at the tip that was shining under the kitchen lights. I was going to end it right now and here. Right in this kitchen where I'd made so many meals, where I'd laughed with friends, where I'd fed my baby and Thorne. "Ava, please. Just don't do anything." Nathan pleaded, his deeper voice joining the others. I could hear the fear in his tone, something I'd never heard from him before. "I promise you I'll find a solution as soon as possible. Thorne will regain his memory and bring Kaelen back home but you

PRESENT Ava's POV I'm honestly not sure about letting Mira be the bait. The doubt gnaws at me, eating away at whatever trust might be left. I'm not sure if I can still trust her fully, not after everything she's done. What if she's still working for Darien and they had planned something together? What if Darien had asked her to confess to us to make it seem real, to make us think she'd turned against him when really she was still his spy? No, she wouldn't have confessed from the start because she knows that it would be hard for us to trust her again. The logical part of my brain tried to reason with me. If she was still working for Darien, keeping quiet would have been smarter. But the wounded, betrayed part of me couldn't let go of the suspicion. I had gone into my room that day after her confession and locked myself up, shutting out the world. I cried my eyes out for days, soaking my pillow with tears until it was damp and uncomfortable. First, it was my loves that were taken aw

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 she nearly tripped over her own feet. "Everything would be fine." Briane reassured her softly, grasping Ava's left arm with both hands. She was trying to lift her up, to support her weight, but Ava wasn't moving. She just stayed there on the floor, crumpled. "When? When would it be fine?" Ava demanded, her voice rising. Her head lifted and her eyes were wild, filled with tears and fury. "Is it until my whole family dies? Is it until Darien really does what he has always wanted to do? Is that when everything would be fine?" Her voice cracked on the last word and more tears streamed down her face, making tracks through the ones that had already dried. "Every time I decide to summon the

Mira's POV "Nathan." I called out, my voice low, barely above a whisper. The word felt heavy in my throat, like it took all my strength just to say his name. My hands were fidgeting nervously at my sides, fingers twisting together and then pulling apart over and over. "What?" He replied back curtly, not turning to look at me. He was standing in front of the kitchen counter with his back to me, his posture stiff and unwelcoming. He reached for the jug sitting on the counter and poured water into a mug slowly, the liquid making soft splashing sounds. Then he lifted the mug to his lips and took a long drink, his throat moving as he swallowed. "I'm…I really…" I stuttered, the words getting stuck in my mouth. I didn't know what to say or how to say it. Should I apologize for everything I'd done? Should I try to explain myself? Or should I just be quiet and leave him alone? I knew he was really disappointed in me with everything that had happened, especially owing to the fact th

Darien's POV "Let's get the fun started." I muttered under my breath, a dark thrill running through me. My car came to a smooth halt in front of where Ava had been staying. I leaned forward slightly in my seat, looking out the tinted window at the building before me. It was actually a big storey building, even bigger than the one I'm currently living in. The structure was impressive—modern architecture with large windows and what looked like expensive stone facing on the exterior. Probably all thanks to Thorne and his money. The thought made me smirk. Thorne had always been good at making money, since a very young age, even before I took control of him. "Mira's line still hasn't been reachable, Alpha." One of my bodyguards sitting in the passenger seat announced, turning back to look at me over his shoulder. His face was concerned, worried about delivering bad news. The driver had already turned off the engine and the car was silent except for the ticking sound of the cooling moto
