Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0133

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... Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

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 bullshit programme 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 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 asses, because they were most definitely full of shit. 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 fucking 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 shitty 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 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 alone, 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.
