I saw my Mum smile back. “Thank you so much, we thought he was a lost cause.” And I felt like dying of embarrassment at her words. Nothing like humiliating your own child and making me sound like a fucking monster! This is a woman I want to be with, and my mother is making me sound horrendous!
“Oh, no, you should never think that. Nobody is a lost cause. Miles has done well. He may have days when he struggles, but if he reaches out, we should be able to help him, so long as he remembers the things we have taught him.” Kaia said with a smile in my direction and I felt my heart flutter from her gaze alone.
What the fuck is happening to me? I do not get all soppy eyed over a woman?! I am the sort of guy who fucks-em and leaves-em. Not willing to get into drama with them. All far too much hassle for my liking, yet this woman seems to have my attention, and I have not been able to stop thinking about her since I met her…
“Well, you should say thank you, Miles, and we will get going, we have things we need to do.” My Dad says bluntly, already acting like having to come here to collect me was an inconvenience, before he looked to Kaia and Alpha Aaron. “Thank you to you both, and all your staff.”
I looked to Kaia, a smile upon my face. “Thanks for everything.” I tried to remain casual, though I desperately wanted to give her a hug. Just to be able to hug her. Touch her. Take in her scent...
“No problem. Good luck with everything.” She said, before turning and walking away, like I didn’t even matter. She didn’t even seem to care that I was leaving. Had I imagined there was a connection between us?
“Here is your support pack.” Alpha Aaron said, handing me a small bundle. “All your treatment papers are in there. Along with the treatment plans used, so you can utilize them if needed. As well as contact details for staff if you need the out-reach support once you are home. Good luck Miles.”
