Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0158

"Fine, I made a mistake. I know I did not need to act like that. But you pushed me into a corner where I did not want to be Dad!" I told him angrily. "I do not want to be doing this. I told you the girl I wanted."

I saw the expression upon my Dad's face change. It softened slightly, and he looked concerned. "There is a girl you want? A girl you would willingly take as a chosen mate?" My father's tone had completely changed now. If anything, he sounded a little shocked. He sounded calm, almost willing to listen. But his words still angered me. How can he act so clueless about all of this? I had mentioned Kaia so many times to them. To my Dad, and my Mum. Told them I wanted to have her considered for my chosen mate. Yet, my Dad was here acting like he had never heard of her. Like she was a nobody.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Yes. Kaia. The daughter of the Alpha of the pack I went for treatment at." I told him, and my Dad screwed his nose in confusion.

"Why would you consider her for a mate, son? She was a worker, was she not?" he raised his brows at me, shaking his head. “You are an Alpha, or will be if you stick to the rules we have given you."

I held back the fury I was so tempted to unleash upon him. How can he be so rude? So dismissive? Evidently he had not listened to me at all when I had spoken of Kaia, and it appeared he paid little attention to the information given when they came to my treatment center, or he would have known she was one of the daughters of the Alpha there.

"No Dad, she was also one of the Alpha's children." I informed him, trying hard to hold back the spite within my tone. "He has quite a few from what I heard." I added, and I saw his face change, like a lightbulb had turned on within his mind.

"Hmmm. An Alpha's daughter." He nodded as if understanding now. "And you liked this girl? You would happily want her as a chosen?" he asked, shock more than evident in his voice. Listening to the way in which he spoke, I believe he had thought I would never happily take a chosen mate. They thought I would fight them about this.

"Without a doubt. She challenged me. Didn't care about my role. Wasn't scared of me. It drove me mad, but I liked it." I explained, and my Dad smiled, as he nodded.

"I think she sounds perfect, son. That is what you need for a mate. Someone who sees you for you. Doesn't see your title, and is willing to challenge you. I will look to contact her father. Her pack shall be our next visit. No wonder you have been so reluctant for this trip!" he said enthusiastically. "I just wish you had told me sooner!"

I rolled my eyes at my Dad. He was unbelievable! Yet I could not hold back the rush of excitement I felt racing through me. I may get my girl yet! I had been so determined, but had been beginning to lose hope, as nobody had been willing to listen to me. Now, it seemed they would! Though, I have to say, there was still an anger rippling through me too, that it just went to show just how little my parents actually listened to me.

Me... their son... the one they wanted to take over their pack. The one they were apparently so concerned about that they would do anything to help him get better... yet neither one had listened to me. Listen to what I wanted. Not a clue, either of them. I had spoken of her, and none of them heard me. So much hassle could have been stopped had they just paid attention to me in the beginning. I just hope my Dad could do what was needed now. Fulfill his role and prove himself as the pack Alpha, but more importantly as my father in getting us that meeting. And then, it was winning Kaia over...
