I wandered a little closer, desperate to pique my curiosity as to who this man was. “But Daddy, you know 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, looking at his build and the way he seemed to carry himself. I had met many of the country’s Alphas, but in truth, I paid little attention, finding 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 be a 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 at me with curiosity. The 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, almost crushing my hand, in what I assumed was an attempt to remind me who was the stronger out of the two of us. Ha, little did he know just how dangerous I 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 be nice. Though already him belittling me the way he did had irritated me.
