Kael’s POV
As Isla had finished the session with Eira, I decided to get an update on it. I couldn’t wait to hear when Isla said Eira was ready to accept the truth, the truth about her son, and I was more than willing to tell her.
I was waiting for the day to see her happy and overwheld to finally have her son with her. That’s the best thing I could ever do for her.
Eira went to Raven while I returned to Isla, who was waiting for to update about my mate.
"How is she now?" I asked once I settled in the chair.
"Getting better than I had expected," she answered, the sa as before.
But it wasn’t enough.
"How much more ti will it take her to get entirely normal?" I asked.
I knew I was being impatient, but I needed a clear answer.
I could see Isla was clearly not pleased to see my impatience. But it was about my mate, and I had the right to be like that.
"It might take her entire life," Isla answered, a tinge of sarcasm in her tone and expressions.
I raised a brow. Was she forgetting who I am just because she was allowed to enter my ho and ddle in my family matters?
She clearly sensed my cold aura now, but kept her calm as the skilled psychologist she was.
"Alpha Kael, I understand what lies ahead of you," she said in a calm tone, "I understand the danger that’s coming your way and why you are being impatient for her to get better as soon as possible. I also understand you want her to be the Luna of this pack just like your mother, stand by your side, and be stronger so she can protect herself.
"But her healing doesn’t work based on what situation you are in or what you expect from her."
I understood what she ant, but a person can’t stop being hopeful.
She continued, "I had sessions with Eira, and in the past I had sessions with your four brothers as well, but you are always left out. How about we have a session for you today? You can take it as a talk about your mate, and maybe I will let you know so harsh truths that you need to know and understand."
"What is it?" I asked, for the sake of Eira.
I would welco anything that will lead to help her and understand my mate.
Isla asked, "Since how long has she been with you, Alpha Kael?"
"Over two months," I answered.
"Over two months?" she said, "And half of it all of you must have spent cursing and fighting each other. If I may be precise, you guys spent that half ti showing your hate to her."
I couldn’t deny it as that was the truth. I humd to agree with her.
"And how long had she been abused?" Isla asked. "I expect you to answer and not just brush it off as useless questions."
"Six years," I answered.
"You do know how many days are there in six years compared to the days in the past two months she spent with you? The difference is far bigger than even comparing the size of an elephant and an ant," she said, her tone serious. "Six years seems like a small number to say, but for the one who’s locked in the abuse and dark, those six years are eternity to them."
I could understand where she was heading to, but I was willing to hear her till the end.
"I know she is twenty-two. So it’s normal for you and others to see her as a full-grown adult, a matured woman who should be perfect in every way. At that, she is a pureblood, the strongest female, so one expects more from her. But have any of you considered whether she ever got the chance to grow up into that matured adult woman you think of? Have you?"
I shook my head.
She continued to say what I already knew, but it felt like she was giving a reality check.
"A fifteen-year-old girl was locked up and spent the next six years of her life being abused in a dark, dirty room, where her social life was zero, absolutely ZERO," she pressed on that last two words. "Her only connection with the outside world was through those n that ca to use and abuse her. You do know the importance of social life in the growth of a person, don’t you?
"For the past six years, she didn’t know how the outside world looked, or what had changed when she wasn’t a part of it. Sunlight, fresh air, greenery, everything that exists in nature were left as re fragnts of her mories.
"The growth of that fifteen-year-old had stopped six years back. Her ti had stopped just there. She grew up physically as a woman, but ntally she is still there in the past. This world is nothing but a strange place to her. She needs to learn it all over again and resu her growth from where her ti had stopped. Not to forget how her mind has been ssed up due to all that abuse."
"Imagine yourself that you are locked in a dark room. Then soone cos and beats you to deathly pain, throws a slice of bread at you and leaves. The sa routine continues for years. Where do you think your ntal state would be?"
I know, that would be brutal for anyone’s ntal state.
"Alpha Kael, you lost your parents, your people, and you still feel the pain of it. Sotis it must be unbearable for you even now. But there is a difference between you and her. You have been outside in the world, surrounded by the people who care for you, supported you and helped you deal with that pain. Eventually you learned to deal with it.
"But what about her? She lost everything, including herself. No one by her side. Do you know, there must have been a ti she even forgot her own na, her own existence? She was completely in blind. That’s the kind of brutality that happened with her.
