All Chapters of Mated To My Master's Beta: Chapter 131 - Chapter 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

Chapter 35 Sophie's POV Why is Julian not back yet? I thought, glancing at the clock for the umpteenth time. He had said he would be back soon, but it had been hours since he left for his meeting. I couldn't help but worry that something might have gone wrong. I wanted to call him, but what if he was still at the meeting? I paced around his room, my mind racing with thoughts of what could be keeping him. He had stopped me from going to my room, except when I wanted to wear something, and now I felt trapped in a cycle of anxiety and restlessness. I wanted to go downstairs, but I was only wearing his shirt, which stopped mid-thigh, and I was sure he wouldn't like it if I went downstairs like this. So, I decided to wait, hoping he would walk through that door any moment. The door suddenly swung open, revealing Julian. He looked wasted as he moved closer to me, his hair tousled and his expression clouded. He wasn't even wearing a shirt. Did the meeting not go as he planned? "Ju
