His Abused Mate, The Alpha's Redemption

Helpless

Chapter 7

Simon’s pov

I had very little hope of this working and helping my mate when we drove here in my car, I know how things ended with her family had knocked her back even further than what she already was. My hope did start to improve after a couple of weeks when her and Mum fell into a comfortable routine.

She was eating with her and seemed to be enjoying her chats, at least she was chatting and opening up to someone, and from what I gathered that was something that had not happened when she was with her family.

My hope was short-lived when I realised that she had no intention of ever leaving her room and the two of them were as bad as each other for eating enough to keep their bodies healthy. She had no interest in having contact with anyone other than mum, at least she was still having her chats daily with her every afternoon and eating small amounts at every meal.

Her dad and brother called regularly once a week to ask how she was getting on and if there had been any improvements, you could hear the disappointment in their voices when they heard that nothing had changed, and she wouldn’t even see me or anyone else for that matter.

I passed on all of their messages to Mum for her to give to her. She was still adamant that she would not speak to them. I told them that she left her phone to run out of charge and didn’t bother to charge it back up as she said there was no one to talk to anyway.

I also passed on to them that they were not to tell my sister where she was if she called as she didn’t want her to know. I have no idea why, I didn’t even know they had stayed in touch. It is not like Sienna would tell me or even speak to me anyway.

I have only told my ranked members that I have found my mate and explained the situation to them. I don’t want the pack to get excited or try and visit her, or try and help her in some way before she is ready. I mean, Greg was there when I picked her up anyway along with Jeff, my head trainer, so it is not like I could have kept it from them.

For now, I want to keep the circle as small as possible, I haven’t even told Stuart yet in case he mentions it to Sienna in his weekly talks with her. He knows something is up with me, so I know it is only a matter of time before he figures out what is going on.

I feel totally and utterly helpless, I have no idea what to do. Some days I feel like I should just go up there into her room and try and have a conversation with her, then just keep going every day until she finally let’s me in and gets used to me.

Most of the time, I think that is a terrible idea, and all that is going to do is scare her and set her back more. It may possibly even get me rejected, and the thought of that terrifies Kain and I so much that it stops us from trying it.

Her wolf Nala has reached out to Kain a few times, which we are taking as a good sign. I know they will both be extremely cautious because of everything they have both been through. I think she is just testing the waters to see what he is like and find out if I am as bad as she thinks I am or if I have possibly changed.

As if things were not bad enough, we ended up with an angry dragon king and his beta wanting to search the pack for Sienna. I have no fu.cking clue what the hell was going on, I was just glad that mum was in the room with Harriet, and it was his beta that checked that room out.

It was still enough to upset her, and I was really not pleased with him, I was even more surprised when he claimed he was her mate. I am not sure whether to believe him or not, and I am positive that Sienna would not leave her mate unless he did something pretty bad.

Both Stuart and I pointed that out to him along with the fact we did not believe him as if he was her mate he should know this was the last place she would be, what with the fact Stuart is the only one if us she would speak to properly and no he would not be giving out her contact details he did not care if he was a fu.cking King or not.

So, with that little bit of excitement out of the way, Stuart went off to warn Sienna with a message from me that she was welcome here anytime if she needed somewhere to hide out for a bit. It took 3 days for Harriet to settle down again.

It had now been almost 10 weeks of her being here with little to no improvement and me having absolutely no clue what the hell to do anymore. I was chatting to Clint and Greg about it when Stuart comes waltzing in my office without even knocking.

“Don’t stop your chat on my account brother” he says smugly.

“It can wait it is nothing important” I say flatly, trying to fool him.

“So your mate is nothing important now, and here I was coming to help. Oh well, I will just leave then” he says, winding me up.

“Wait how the hell did you know about Harriet?” I ask, confused.

“I overheard you and mum talking after our visitors. You were worried that they had set her back again. Why are you keeping her a secret from everyone?” he asks.

“I don’t want more pressure on her, and she didn’t want Sienna to know she was here. I think she was worried she would come because of her and she knows how bad her relationship is with mum and I” I say, sighing.

“Well she was right. Sienna will be here tomorrow. I think Harriet is a big part of it she decided to come as soon as she heard she was here, but that dragon is her mate. The a.sshole walked out on her after sleeping with her because she wasn’t a virgin. I am guessing he now knows who she is and the reason she’s not and wants to make things right, but she is far too pi.ssed off at him to want anything to do with him. Apparently, he has dragons camped out at the elite camp and her friend pack looking for her. She thinks it will be safer here” he tells me as I sit there shocked.

“Sh.it I wasn’t expecting that. What a bas.tard, that man is the biggest wh.ore going and he has the cheek to treat our sister like that. She always has a room here, and for however long she needs, I have already told her that. I will make sure her room is cleaned and sorted for her arrival. Thank you Stuart hopefully this will help both of them” I say gratefully.

“No problem, I mean 10 weeks bro is a long time for your mate to be ignoring you. It can’t be good for either of your wolves. Harriet needs help, and I think Sienna can give her that. Mum is good and all, but she is broken too” he says honestly.

“I know. I just wish I knew how to help her and what I could do, I feel useless. She is my mate, and I can not help her. She doesn’t even want to be near me because of how terrible a person I used to be” I say, upset.

“You have changed a lot Simon, Sienna will see that when she comes here, and she will help your mate and help her to see that you are a good person that just went through a stage of temporary insanity because a madman was pulling your strings” He says, my brother has a weird sense of humour, but he does make me chuckle and bring me out of my wallowing.

“Thanks I needed that” I say.

“Any time I am available 24/7 for light entertainment. So next time, stop hiding away and being a moody git. You have people to talk to. I am sure Clint and Greg will agree with that” he says

I feel much more light-hearted after that, I actually feel like their might be some hope for not only Harriet and I but also for Sienna and our family. I will make sure that I prove to her that I can be the brother that she needs the one I was before dad twisted the narrative and like his good little puppet I danced along to his tune.

This time, I will not let her down. I know this is going to make mum’s day, I don’t want to tell Harriet, I think it will be a nice surprise for her and then she won’t spend the whole time worrying about the reasons for her being here. Please goddess let this work and give Harriet and my sister the peace and happiness she so rightly deserves.
