Sold To The Alphas I Hate novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258: Harsh Reality Check From Isla

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 overwhelmed 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 me 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 same as before.

But it wasn’t enough.

"How much more time 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 home and meddle in my family matters? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

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 meant, 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 some harsh truths that you need to know and understand."

"What is it?" I asked, for the sake of Eira.

I shook my head.

She continued to say what I already knew, but it felt like she was giving me 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 men that came 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 mere fragments of her memories.

"The growth of that fifteen-year-old had stopped six years back. Her time had stopped just there. She grew up physically as a woman, but mentally 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 resume her growth from where her time had stopped. Not to forget how her mind has been messed up due to all that abuse."

"Imagine yourself that you are locked in a dark room. Then someone comes and beats you to deathly pain, throws a slice of bread at you and leaves. The same routine continues for years. Where do you think your mental state would be?"

I know, that would be brutal for anyone’s mental state.

"Alpha Kael, you lost your parents, your people, and you still feel the pain of it. Sometimes 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 time she even forgot her own name, her own existence? She was completely in blind. That’s the kind of brutality that happened with her.
