Kael’s POV
What Liam said was nothing surprising, as we had talked about it before and how important it was for her. But the matter of taking care of her during her heat, I am sure it was still overwhelming for us all after knowing the truth and how she had suffered.
It was more like, after suffering the same for the past six years, she would be forced to be intimate with someone as she would have no other option but to submit to her innate instincts and needs.
I could only imagine how much she must hate what she suffered.
She will just end up hating the one who will mate with her in her heat. She will just think she was taken advantage of, or feel nothing at all, like it was just the usual thing she had first been forced into, and then submitted to.
I wished things were different and it was as precious to her as any other she-wolf experienced their first heat with the man she loved.
"Once she has her first shift, it won’t take much time for her to get into the first heat as her wolf is matured enough. And would seek for the mate," Liam added.
"When can she have her first shift?" I asked.
"How about tomorrow? It’s the full moon and perfect day to shift," he asked.
"Isn’t it too soon?" Roman asked, "She has been through a lot in the past few days. Surgery, drug test, and the prison incident."
"I know, but she seems perfectly fine now. That shows how strong she is. A pureblood for a reason," Liam said, "Delaying it to the next full moon isn’t a good idea. She needs her wolf now more than ever. It would be a great help to improve and strengthen her mental situation."
"As long as it won’t harm her in any way, I don’t mind," I told him.
"It won’t, except for the shift is going to be painful for her than normal. It’s because it had been delayed for so long," he said, "and it can’t be avoided, though I will try to have some medicines to ease her after the shift is over."
We agreed to his suggestion.
"I will send one medicine you have to give her tonight. Make sure to inject her with it," Liam said as he stood up to leave.
I hummed and looked at her. Once again she had to go through the pain, as if what she had experienced till now wasn’t enough. When will this cycle of pain end for her?
But at least, I will share it with her. I was going to feel the same pain.
For the past six years, the pain I felt, I didn’t know what was happening to me. I thought that torment, that pain, was because of my parents’ gruesome death I had witnessed. It must have wounded my soul deeply, so I was experiencing it. But...
Only when she returned to me, I understood it was because of her. I was feeling her pain all these years.
But how? It shouldn’t be this way, but it was. I will find out the reason soon once she was better and we had taken care of the important matters.
But at the same time, if I truly knew my pain was because of her and she was suffering somewhere, what would have I done?
Would have I been the ass to let her suffer?
I don’t think so.
Because, despite I was angry and hated her, I couldn’t kill her when I went to see her in the prison. I felt like such an asshole of a son to my parents. But I simply couldn’t kill her.
So, if I knew she was suffering, I would have at least gone to see what was happening with her and would have arranged for her safety. She would have rotten in the darkness of prison till the end of her life. And I would have never seen her ever again.
That led me to think, which way was better, this one or that? I was scared to decide on it.
One way gave her brutal pain, but brought her back to me. The other way would have been no torment and pain for her, but she would have never returned to me. And the truth would have been buried forever.
So...As I had experienced every bit of her pain and suffered with her as well, I will be selfish to think-- The way that brought her back to me, is the one I prefer.
I turned to my brothers, who had been calm since the moment Liam talked about her.
I knew what they were thinking, but it had time. And I had decided what we were going to do.
"Aren’t you guys leaving?" I asked.
They got back to their senses. Roman, Jason, and Lucian left the home, while Rafe returned to his room to work on those cellphones.
----
The day went by in quiet, which seemed so unusual all of a sudden, as since the day we brought her, it had been the opposite. The entire day all she did was eat when she was offered food, play with her pets and fall asleep while cuddling them, or go to the garden when Fluffy urged her to.
I was always in the drawing room, keeping watch on her. But not even once did she look at me or pay attention, as if I didn’t exist.
Rafe was in his room, but once in a while he would come out and check on her, talking to her using the excuse of Vixen, though she didn’t talk back. Still, I could tell she was a little more relaxed around him compared to any one of us.
He had stayed away from her for long, but when he decided not to, he truly earned her attention and maybe somewhat her trust.
But the question was, how could he stand her scent now, without even complaining?
Lucian and Jason didn’t return home that night as they had a really important task at hand.
Most probably, we would get that boy’s DNA sample so we could test it with Eira’s to confirm he was her son. And then we would be able to take a decisive step.
If that boy was her son, then I was bringing him back to her.
