I nod quietly again yet against my better judgment I ask the question I think I know the answer to.

“What happens to prospects that have a major mental health issue, like ptsd?”

“It depends a lot on how stable the individual is and why they have it. A lot of wolves have ptsd from battles where they witnessed pack mates killed or they were severely injured. It can have a lasting effect but with therapy and proper medication the council will allow them to return.”

“Oh.”

“Not the answer you thought?”

I shake my head as I follow them out the door to where the food is set out. No one is down here yet which is a relief for me.

“Are you good on your own now?”

I look at the alpha before nodding my head.

“Thank you Alpha.”

“For what?”

“For your kindness.”

He gives me a smile before placing his hand on my shoulder. For the first time that night I manage to keep myself from pulling away or jumping out of my skin.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you Cole. We will talk more in the morning.”
