Chapter 88 – Miles Another day of treatment. They were becoming repetitive. But, if I forced myself, they were almostbearable, and it meant I got to spend at least a little time with Kaia. I got to see her smile. See theway her eyes lit up as she laughed… Feel the way my heart warmed if I was blessed with agiggle… 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 additionalsessions each day, shocking the therapists, but they didn’t see my plan. If I had the additionalsessions, it made it more likely they would see me as completing their b*t p*ogramme sooner, andallow me to leave earlier. Completing the programme earlier had become my main goal. My secondgoal 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 daytraining. Oh no, this was a full-on, hard and fast training that only Alphas were sent on. Thespecialized Alpha training. Hearing that infuriated me. My younger brother was training for a spotthat was rightly mine. That told me that my parents were taking this consideration of allocating himas Alpha seriously, and I could not have that. I needed to tread carefully for the time being. Do allthey 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 willingto 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-distractionapproach to enable me to make this treatment a success. I swear these people pulled their answersfrom 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 mytemper was a daily, hour by hour battle, but one I needed to maintain, or this whole thing would befor nothing and my title would go to my f**g brother. And I could not allow that. He had done nothingto 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 andcomplete their **y programme, the staff were less on edge around me and the scent of fear wasgradually 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 afternoonsessions, as I knew Kaia was so often around in the gardens then, and it gave me an excuse to talkto 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 allbad, and that my company was actually quite enjoyable. I would wear her down to the point shewas 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 toclear 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 rollmy 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 thegardens that I knew Kaia would often sit in the afternoon to do her work on her laptop. But as Iapproached the garden, I could see she was not alorie, and my heart dropped. By her side was anolder man, well-built, and muscly. His arms were littered with tattoos. I could feel my eyes glaringtoward him, already questioning who this mystery man was, and why he was with Kaia. She lookedcomfortable 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, youknow 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, lookingat his build and the way he seemed to carry himself. I had met many of the country’s Alphas, but intruth, I paid little attention, replaceing 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 bea 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 atme 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, almostcrushing my hand, in what I assumed was an attempt to remind me who was the stronger out of thetwo 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 benice. 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 gardenof our family home is much more pleasant to sit and enjoy, I have to admit. I am merely here tocome 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 itseem 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 fathersimply 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 III Chapte 89 – Miles 208 Vouchers there, and that hurt. I wanted her to want me, and my attempts right now were proving futile.

“Kaia, do not be so rude. That is not how the daughter of an Alpha is brought up to act.” AlphaAaron shakes his head at his daughter with a look of what could only be described as disgust uponhis face, before looking at me. “Please excuse her Miles, she appears to have gotten out of bed onthe wrong side today.” “Honestly, it is fine. I understand the pressures of being the child of an Alpha can bring. It isn’talways easy.” I looked at Kaia with a small smile, hoping she would see this as me trying to defendher, as well as something we have in common. Sometimes, being the child of an Alpha could bemore of a chore than anything… Instead, she rolled her eyes, while her father quickly rested his eyes upon me in a dark andmeaningful glare. “Oh, you are the upcoming Alpha I have been hearing about. Hmmm…” his voicewas 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**slyon both counts. This was not going my way. Not in the slightest. I needed to get out of here as soonas I could…
