Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Beauty 102

Chapter 102 – Miles All visits had been called off for the day, and we had traveled to the motel across state that we had booked into. Leaving earlier than planned, since we left immediately after the incident at Silver River Pack. Anyone would think I had gone in and killed half their pack or something the way my Dad was reacting. I was done with the attitude of my Dad. Was I not entitled to an opinion? This was my life after all. My future and, ultimately, my Dad had known from the moment he had begun discussing all this arranged chosen mate c**p, that it was not what I wanted. Yet, he took control, like he always does. Taking his Alpha role. Dictating to one and all, and giving me no choice. No choice in my own life? That I did not agree with, and was not about to back down. And, I had made that clear on many occasions before we left. Told him why I did not want this, yet he had forced me to come, in spite of that. So why he would think this trip would go well, I truly do not know. Now, I had spent hours enduring my father lecturing me non- stop about how I should be respecting him. Doing as I am told. Because, apparently, my actions at Silver River Pack were not only disrespecting their Alpha, but a huge disrespect to my own pack and my own father. How he came to that conclusion, I have no clue. I think my Dad came up with his own rhetoric to make himself feel better. Make himself feel more important. Well, it wasn’t going to work with me. I was sick of being treated this way. He was basically treating me like I am still a young child, and not the adult I was. He evidently thought there would be a point when I would buckle and back down to him and 12.12 D 288 Vouchers admit my mistakes, then agree to all he wanted. But, if that was what my Dad was expecting of me, he was wrong. I was as stubborn as he was. I would not, and I did not. I had continued to stand my ground, and the argument had continued to increase. Building. Worsening over time. The room we were sharing was smashed to pieces. Both our wolves unleashed their fury upon one another and the surroundings, which would no doubt mean we were left with quite a bill for the damage. We were both Alpha wolves and neither one would back down.

That would show weakness. It would be surrendering to the other, and neither one of us was ready to do that. If my father wanted this to go down to an Alpha challenge, I would challenge him for his title, for my rightful place within our pack if that is what he truly wanted, but that is not how we did things in our pack. But, I had never done things as expected, and my family were underestimating me. If they were going to put my brother in my place as Alpha, I would challenge him. I would kill them all before I allowed it. This was for my pack. For the power and control it brought with it, and I would not have it s**d away from me. All over the mess that the b**h Bailey had left behind. Everything was fine until she let our secret slip. I would forever hold her responsible for this mess. I watched my father stalking me, across the room from me, his eyes dark with anger, though I could see a tiredness within his face. I think he had to be as sick of this as I was. This is not what either of us wanted to be doing right now. “This isn’t right Miles!” he roared once more. “You are my son, yet you act more like an enemy than any enemy ever has. Why must you fight me on everything?” 288 Vouchers “Because you are trying to take away my rightful place. I am the firstborn, and you know that title is mine. Yes, I made a mistake today, but you know as well as I do, Bailey was never right for me.” I watched now as my father tilted his head at me. “Did you just admit you made a mistake?” he lowered his tone, which surprised me, though I never meant to admit I was wrong. But, if it meant it stopped this s**t show of a night, then maybe it was better. There probably was no need to act like that at the pathetic attempt of a pack… I was just so angry they had offered me a reject. Another version of the girl I didn’t want. And it reminded me of her. Of Bailey. The one I hated to my core. The one who pushed me into this mess I found myself… “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. “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. 288 iVouchers “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. role. “Without a doubt. She challenged me. Didn’t care about my 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!” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Chapter 102-Miles 288 ¡Vouchers I rolled my eye’s at my Dad. He was unbelievable! Yet I could not hold back the rush of excitement 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 h**le 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…
