Chapter 0134


    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.


    “We do make sure our pds are well tended, much like the pack buildings. Though the garden


    of our family home is much more pleasant to sit and enjoy, I have to admit. I am merely here toCopyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    “Oh, now that isn’t nice is it?” I smiled at Kaia, trying to tease her a little, while attempting to make it


    seem I was supporting the Alpha.


    “I don’t know why you think it is any of your business, Miles.” She scowled at me while her father


    simply chuckled. “Nor do I recall inviting you toe and join our conversation.”


    I felt rejected by her snappiness. I knew she did not want me there, and that hurt. I wanted her to


    want me, and my attempts right now were proving futile.


    “Kaia, do not be so rude. That is not how the daughter of an Alpha is brought up to act.” Alpha


    Aaron shakes his head at his daughter with a look of what could only be described as disgust upon


    his face, before looking at me. “Please excuse her Miles, she appears to have gotten out of bed on


    the wrong side today.”


    “Honestly, it is fine. I understand the pressures of being the child of an Alpha can bring. It isn’t


    always easy.” I looked at Kaia with a small smile, hoping she would see this as me trying to defend


    her, as well as something we have inmon. Sometimes, being the child of an Alpha could be


    more of a chore than anything...


    Instead, she rolled her eyes, while her father quickly rested his eyes upon me in a dark and


    meaningful re. “Oh, you are the uing Alpha I have been hearing about. Hmmm…” his voice


    was full of intent in his words, and I don’t think I liked it.


    Wonderful, my n to win Kaia over, and make a good impression upon her father had failed


    horrendously on both counts. This was not going my way. Not in the slightest. I needed to get out of


    here as soon as I could…
