Is it possible to add Authenticate Middleware in constructor of PHP class but not Controller

Is it possible to add Authenticate Middleware in constructor of PHP class but not Controller?

Example:

namespace App\Http\Services;

class SomeService {

    protected $token;

    public function __construct() {
        $this->middleware(function ($request, $next) {
            $this->token = \Auth::user()->profile->token;

            return $next($request);
            }
    }

    public function some_function(){
        return $this->token;
    }
}

Not a use case for middleware IMO. Middleware is intended to decorate requests and responses as they enter and leave your app respectively. It should be separate from your application logic.
