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 toldthat my parents were taking this consideration of allocating him as

Alpha seriously, and | could not have that. | needed to tread carefully for the tbeing. Do all they asked of me

to ensure | got my title. Got my role as Alpha as | should always have done. Unfortunately, my parents, nor my

best friend, had chosen to contactsince, and were not willing to answer my calls either. And, when | inquired

with the treatment center staff, their Chapter 88 - Miles answer was simple, they believed no contact was the

sick of them all. But, | 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 | needed to maintain, or this whole thing would be for

nothing and my title would go to my f**g brother. And | could not allow that. He had done nothing to deserve to

be Alpha. “Another session done, | believe, Miles.” Jonah, another of my therapists said towith a smile. |

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 aroundand the scent of fear was gradually dissipating, as frustrating

as that was, because both | and my wolf craved that scent. “Looks like it.” | nodded. “Is it okay to go for a walk in

the garden, and clear my head?” | asked him. This had becmy usual escape after my afternoon sessions, as

| knew Kaia was so often around in the gardens then, and it gavean excuse to talk to her. Spend stime

wanting him to think | was being respectful and | nodded. | rushed off down the corridor of the pack, toward the

door which ledto the familiar area of the gardens that | knew Kaia would often sit in the afternoon to do her

work on her laptop. But as | approached the garden, | 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. | 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. | wandered a little closer,

desperate to pique my curiosity as to who this man was. “But Daddy, you know | 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. | had met many of the country’s Alphas, but

in truth, | paid little attention, finding them irrelevant to me. They would be belowonce | was Alpha, so |

didn’t see the need to memorize them all. If | needed them, then | would make an effort to get to

wanted to win her over, then surely it would be a good thing to win her father over too... “Good afternoon Miss

Carter.” | smiled sweetly at her, causing both Kaia and her father to look up atwith curiosity. The Chapter 88-

afternoon Miles.” Kaia said, with a brief nod in my direction. “Good afternoon sir.” | offered my hand to the Alpha,

who took it in a firm handshake, almost crushing my hand, in what | assumed was an attempt to remindwho

afternoon. Miles, | assume.” He smiled. “And no need for sir, Alpha Aaron would suffice.” | 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

sure our packlands are well tended, much like the pack buildings. Though the garden of our family his much

like to try and avoid me.” “Oh, now that isn’t nice is it?” | smiled at Kaia, trying to tease her a little, while

attempting to make it seem | was supporting the Alpha. “I don’t know why you think it is any of your business,

“Kaia, do not be so rude. That is not how the daughter of an Alpha is brought up to act.” Alpha Aaron shakes his

small smile, hoping she would see this astrying 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 uponin a dark and meaningful glare. “Oh, you are the upcoming
