Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Beauty 88

Chapter 88 – Miles Another day of treatment. They were becoming repetitive. But, if I forced myself, they were almost bearable, and it meant I got to spend at least a little time with Kaia. I got to see her smile. See the way her eyes lit up as she laughed… Feel the way my heart warmed if I was blessed with a giggle… or a little sideways. glance through her long lashes… And, it meant I was moving toward my end goal of leaving this place quicker. I requested additional sessions each day, shocking the therapists, but they didn’t see my plan. If I had the additional sessions, it made it more likely they would see me as completing their b*t p*ogramme sooner, and allow me to leave earlier. Completing the programme earlier had become my main goal. My second goal had become making Kaia mine, one way or another. I had briefly spoken to Ellis, who had told me he had been training. Not just regular day to day training. Oh no, this was a full-on, hard and fast training that only Alphas were sent on. The specialized Alpha training. Hearing that infuriated me. My younger brother was training for a spot that was rightly mine. That told me that my parents were taking this consideration of allocating him as Alpha seriously, and I could not have that. I needed to tread carefully for the time being. Do all they asked of me to ensure I got my title. Got my role as Alpha as I should always have done. Unfortunately, my parents, nor my best friend, had chosen to contact me since, and were not willing to answer my calls either. And, when I inquired with the treatment center staff, their Chapter 88 – Miles answer was simple, they believed no contact was the better option to allow me the no-distraction approach to enable me to make this treatment a success. I swear these people pulled their answers from their a**s, because they were most definitely full of s**t. I was getting sick of them all. But, I did all I could to hold back on taking my frustrations out on them. The struggle to control my temper was a daily, hour by hour battle, but one I needed to maintain, or this whole thing would be for nothing and my title would go to my f**g brother. And I could not allow that. He had done nothing to deserve to be Alpha. “Another session done, I believe, Miles.” Jonah, another of my therapists said to me with a smile. I

had noticed that since reigning in my temper and showing my willingness to cooperate and complete their **y programme, the staff were less on edge around me and the scent of fear was gradually dissipating, as frustrating as that was, because both I and my wolf craved that scent. “Looks like it.” I nodded. “Is it okay to go for a walk in the garden, and clear my head?” I asked him. This had become my usual escape after my afternoon sessions, as I knew Kaia was so often around in the gardens then, and it gave me an excuse to talk to her. Spend some time alone with her… I was desperate to get her to see the potential in me. Allow her the opportunity to see I wasn’t all bad, and that my company was actually quite enjoyable. I would wear her down to the point she was desperate for my company. For my attention… “Of course, it is good you see the need for relaxation time, Miles. I think sometimes that little time to clear your head can Chapter 88+ Miles 1280 Wouchers make all the difference to a clear mind. A calmer mind.” Jonah said calmly, making me want to roll my eyes, but I fought the urge, wanting him to think I was being respectful and I nodded. I rushed off down the corridor of the pack, toward the door which led me to the familiar area of the gardens that I knew Kaia would often sit in the afternoon to do her work on her laptop. But as I approached the garden, I could see she was not alorie, and my heart dropped. By her side was an older man, well-built, and muscly. His arms were littered with tattoos. I could feel my eyes glaring toward him, already questioning who this mystery man was, and why he was with Kaia. She looked comfortable in his company. And looked up at him with big, affectionate eyes. I wandered a little closer, desperate to pique my curiosity as to who this man was. “But Daddy, you know I don’t like doing formal events.” Kaia appeared to whine. Oh… this appeared to be the pack Alpha. Kaia’s father. Of course, that would make sense, looking at his build and the way he seemed to carry himself. I had met many of the country’s Alphas, but in truth, I paid little attention, finding them irrelevant to me. They would be below me once I was Alpha, so I didn’t see the need to memorize them all. If I needed them, then I would make an effort to get to

know them, so this man’s face was not familiar to me. However, I was desperate to speak to Kaia. And, if I wanted to win her over, then surely it would be a good thing to win her father over too… “Good afternoon Miss Carter.” I smiled sweetly at her, causing both Kaia and her father to look up at me with curiosity. The Chapter 88-M 1248 (Vouchers. Alpha then looks across to Kaia with a raised brow and a smirk. upon his face. “Good afternoon Miles.” Kaia said, with a brief nod in my direction. “Good afternoon sir.” I offered my hand to the Alpha, who took it in a firm handshake, almost crushing my hand, in what I assumed was an attempt to remind me who was the stronger out of the two of us. Ha, little did he know just how dangerous ! could be if pushed… “Good afternoon. Miles, I assume.” He smiled. “And no need for sir, Alpha Aaron would suffice.” I nodded. “We don’t normally see you across this part of the pack, Alpha. Though the gardens are always nice to enjoy when the sun is out.” I tried hard to be nice. Though already him belittling me the way he did had irritated me. “We do make sure our packlands are well tended, much like the pack buildings. Though the garden of our family home is much more pleasant to sit and enjoy, I have to admit. I am merely here to come and visit my daughter. She seems to like to try and avoid me.” “Oh, now that isn’t nice is it?” I smiled at Kaia, trying to tease her a little, while attempting to make it seem I was supporting the Alpha. “I don’t know why you think it is any of your business, Miles.” She scowled at me while her father simply chuckled. “Nor do I recall inviting you to come and join our conversation.” I felt rejected by her snappiness. I knew she did not want me ||| Chapte 89 – Miles 208 Vouchers there, and that hurt. I wanted her to want me, and my attempts right now were proving futile. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Kaia, do not be so rude. That is not how the daughter of an Alpha is brought up to act.” Alpha Aaron shakes his head at his daughter with a look of what could only be described as disgust upon his face, before looking at me. “Please excuse her Miles, she appears to have gotten out of bed on the wrong side today.” “Honestly, it is fine. I understand the pressures of being the child of an Alpha can bring. It isn’t always easy.” I looked at Kaia with a small smile, hoping she would see this as me trying to defend her, as well as something we have in common. Sometimes, being the child of an Alpha could be more of a chore than anything… Instead, she rolled her eyes, while her father quickly rested his eyes upon me in a dark and meaningful glare. “Oh, you are the upcoming Alpha I have been hearing about. Hmmm…” his voice was full of intent in his words, and I don’t think I liked it. Wonderful, my plan to win Kaia over, and make a good. impression upon her father had failed h**sly on both counts. This was not going my way. Not in the slightest. I needed to get out of here as soon as I could…
