Chapter 0204
Image was everything to my Alpha and my father. | have tried so hard over the years to keep my family happy.
Keep maintaining the vision of a happy and perfect Beta family for our pack members and beyond. Even when
things had bectough with Miles, and | had thought about leaving, | had chosen to stay for the sake of my
family. Not wanting to make my parents look bad. Knowing the best way forto officially leave my pack with
no hope of finding a fated mate, and bringing no humiliation to my parents, or the family, would be to find a job
offer at another pack, and then move. Give them a reason to be proud of what | have done, and what | have
achieved.
The sreasons | had kept quiet for so long because of the messes Miles had caused, because | did not want
to bring shon the families that | tried so hard to please. Deep down | knew | needed to speak out, but | knew
if 1 did, it would be dismissed. Miles was their next Alpha. He was idolized and could do no wrong. | would be the
one to be chastised for speaking out, and it would be seen asgoing against the pack. Against the senior
families, and that was not something that would be looked upon in a good light. So, of course, I had kept quiet.
Not wanting to cause issues.
All I wanted was to feel | was important to them. I didn’t want to let them down. Maybe that madeweak, but
we were always told that you do everything for your family. Protecting our image so as not to taint my father’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtreputation had been something that had been enforced as we grew up, and something expected of us. As the
pack Beta, it was important he was seen as strong and dependable. He did not need any family issues or
bringing his ninto question. So, we were always taught to put our family above all else. Even ourselves. And
that was what | was trying to do... though | doubted Asher would see it like that.
Akira whimpered within my mind. She was angry atfor walking away. Desperate forto allow him a
chance to explain, but right now, | needed tto myself. What had happened between Asher and | had been
truly amazing, and | hoped we could fix things, because there was something about him that drewto him. He
madefeel special, in a way | didn't know was possible. Madefeel | was enough, and that was not
something to be tossed away...
But, right now, | need to process my thoughts. Focus and prepare myself for what could awaitwhen | arrive
in the pack. | could only hope that Miles might be more bearable now he had chosen this new mate himself. He
had decided to marry, and maybe that meant he had decided to move on. Marriage and a chosen mate had not
been something | had previously envisioned for him, so | clung to the hope this was a step forward. Morgan had
said he continued therapy, so again, | held onto the hope he may be growing up, and may be allowing himself to
move on.
In the last few days, his messages were certainly ending. Though | had blocked the number, not that it had
stopped him before when | had done this, he just found alternate numbers to use. Yet this time, with his number
blocked, there had been no alternate number used. No additional messages or mystery calls. There had been
nothing. It was odd, | have to say. But, it had givena desperate hope that this wedding, and this new mate,
may have meant Miles was allowinga chance to finally move on... he may even be lettingand our past
go.
