Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 140

I had been called to the main meeting room, and I had no clue why. This would likely not be good. Kaia had been avoiding me since the awkward interaction with her father, and I had no idea why. So, I had done all I could to get as many therapy sessions done each day to keep myself busy. I was not used to rejection, and needless to say, I did not like it. Once I was done here, and in my role of Alpha, I would come back here, and I would show her what she had missed out on. She would come to regret her choice, I would ensure of that.

No woman turned me down. I paced the floor of the room for the tenth time since arriving. I hated being kept waiting, yet these fuckers here seemed to like doing exactly that. I was sick of the familiar walls here now. Sick of the people and the fact that they had become accustomed to me. Though, the fact I had allowed my anger to become hidden meant they did not fear me the same, so I did not gain the same thrill from them all. So, I gained little enjoyment from being here. I wanted to leave now. Well, in truth, I wanted to leave the moment I arrived, but that was never going to happen. But, now, my father could not say I had not done as he had asked of me. I had done exactly as asked.

I just hoped there were no more requirements expected of me before they were willing to consider my position as Alpha. I was 24, and more than ready to become Alpha. So many upcoming Alphas have taken their positions by this age, and I think my father was just unwilling to surrender his position. He says I like the power being Alpha brings me, and that I gain a thrill from it, but in truth, I believe he adores the power being Alpha brings him, which is why he is so reluctant to let his title go. That is why he is holding back on handing me the title I was born into.

But, he would soon have to make a decision or others would be asking questions. I had heard nothing more from Ellis since he had called me in my early days here, to wish me all the best with my treatment, and to tell me he had every faith in my ability to do well in completing the treatment. And, of course, to inform me of his Alpha training. Why would my brother want me to successfully complete my treatment if he had the opportunity to become Alpha? He would want the role as Alpha, like any sane man would, given an opportunity, of that I am sure of!

I would be interested to know how his training went and if he was strong enough to pass it. I know he is strong. He is of Alpha blood, being my father’s son, but I don’t believe he is as strong as me. He enjoyed training, but never pushed himself like I had. I doubted he was capable of the things expected of young Alphas in their formal Alpha training. I truly believed he would fail, and then, where would that leave my father? With no choice but to go with the rightful path given to him by nature. Me.

“Ah Miles, you are here.” Alpha Aaron walked into the room, taking me by surprise. What was he here for? I have been asked here by the treatment team, yet he is not a part of the treatment staff. I was instantly on edge.
