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...
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.
