“How do you know?”
Etta stares at me blankly, all colour seeping out her face. She knows she stepped out of line, but with everyone around us on surrounding tables has all their attention on us. I doubt there is a single person in this room that doesn’t know what happened to my parents.
“Look Kezziah, we don’t have to talk about it,” Melena says firmly, glancing around at everyone else. At least she respects my privacy, but it looks like it’s too late. If I wasn’t so worked up from this revelation, I would be surprised Melena is caring about me to any degree.

~KezziahNerves bubble up inside me as we approach the house.It feels forbidden to be stepping inside Alden’s safe house. He keeps this from the eyes of the public for a reason. I may be his mate, yet it seems so strange to be stepping into his personal life like this. I only know him as the Alpha. The professional man whose only objectives have been in the name of science.Alden unlocks the door, holding it open for me to go inside first. Immediately I’m hit with some kind of warmth, that doesn’t seem physical. Maybe it’s the aura of this place, or the intimacy that surrounds it. Either way, I like it.

~KezziahFor a moment I couldn’t breathe.Alden stares at me, no sense of humour or teasing on his expression. He would never joke about something this serious with me anyway. In that moment when I realise he is being truly serious, it felt as though my entire heart shattered. As if the world I had just been brought into is collapsing around me.But there is only one question that dwells on my mind that I have to ask before I feel the true extent of grief. “Why didn’t you tell me?”Alden swallows uncomfortably, looking down at his feet.

~KezziahHis words didn’t calm me, but I lowered my guard.Thought relaxes too, noticing my aggression toward him hinder. His uncanny relation to Time is unnerving. It’s as if I’m looking at the immortal himself, aside from those shifting silver eyes and slightly different features. They must be close to twins. If so, I wonder why Thought would break his bond with his brother to help me.He can see I’m clearly skeptical. I’ve learnt never to trust immortals. Time taught me that well. They only ever do things for their own gain, not out of the kindness of their heart. When you have all of eternity to live, you learn to care for y

~KezziahIt felt good sleeping next to Alden.Sunlight streams in through the curtain, rousing me gently from my sleep. Stretching out, I bask in the feeling of warmth and comfort, feeling better than I ever have waking up before. When I glance over, I see Alden and his glistening navy blue eyes looking down at me, admiration and affection reflecting off them.“Oh, I’m sorry,” I say drowsily, realising last night I had snuck into his room, unable to help myself. I just wanted to see what it would feel like to have my mate by my side. And after Thought visiting, I’ve been nervous to spend the night alone. “I didn’t mean to

~KezziahAlden and I stumbled to bed around midnight.Giddy and glowing, I fall into the sheets alongside my mate, still warm inside from talking to him all night. We spoke about a million things from Pack politics to our own personal philosophies. Whatever magical force deemed us worthy to be together did a good job, considering how well we seem to get along.If only we could continue this cycle forever, not having to worry about all the drama with Time and with Alden’s sickness. Any moment it could trigger and I could lose my mate. It takes all of my willpower to shove that thought down and not consider it.

~Kezziah Naturally, Cian got invited in. He sauntered into the house, shoulders back, gait triumphant. Sitting down on the couch, he motions for us to sit in front of him, that smirk touching his lips not fading for a moment. I’m nervous about why he is here, however, I sit down regardless, curious about what he is going to reveal. I have a feeling it’s going to ruin my life. Beside me, I can feel Alden’s tension. He doesn’t like having an immortal sitting in his home; especially a Sin. I can tell he is as curious as me, though. He’s been looking at me strangely, wondering why Cian knows I exist. “Well, is someone going to sa

~KezziahIt didn’t take Time less than a second to grab my hand and vanish us away.Shutting my eyes, I prayed he would take me somewhere safe. Somewhere I have a chance of escaping from. Because right now, the last thing I’m wanting to do is cling to Time’s arm, being completely at his mercy. How did he even find me? He must have been waiting to track me the moment I stepped off of Alden’s property. Damn it.As the world builds itself back around us, the transportation coming to a close, Time lands gracefully on the ground, while I stumble a few steps before he grabs my arm to stop me. The moment I notice his assistance, I jerk away from him.“For a mom

~KezziahI know Time is insane. But this insane?Looking at him, I’m trying to judge how serious he is being. His expression is stern and solemn, as if he is regretful for this decision. However, it is such a wild request I can’t imagine it being anything other than a test. Unless of course, I gave Time the benefit of the doubt once, but now I see the monster he truly is.“I’m not killing someone for you,” I growl under my breath. I’m starting to shiver under this cold. I wasn’t prepared for it at all, as it melts into my shoes and pants. “I’ll find another way to get rid of this matebond.”

Alpha Alden Epilogue
~KezziahNine months later.Today, things are falling into place.The house Alden and I have been working on for months has finally been completed. It’s a beautiful home we created in a small village just on the border of the Wisdom Pack. We could have moved into Alden’s own home, however, I didn’t like how isolated it was, and I wanted a fresh start after this past year.Alden had agreed. Recently, his sickness has been triggered, and he’s been deteriorating. It’s been painful to see, but now, he has a home he can be where he has no issues. And I can be here with him.“Fina

~KezziahTime raises his eyebrow at me skeptically.He might be trapped behind a magical barrier within a cave like prison, however, it hasn’t yet scared him beyond a small irritation. He knows he has more power than us. Maybe it’s equal to his brothers, but he has confidence. I’m going to sit here in the cold until I can see all that confidence seep away into nothing.“Take away the brand and lose all connection to you?” Time says, tilting his head to the side, mocking confusion. I roll my eyes, knowing he couldn't care less about that. “You know I like you so much, Kezziah.”Alden steps up, close to the barrier, but not close enough to step over

~KezziahThe plan has been decided without me.Luckily, Alden gave me another night with him before he approached me with it. Clearly Thought had been to visit him after I was taken by Time. The immortal would have informed my mate on the perfect plan to get Time alone to admit defeat and remove the brands from us, and hopefully everyone else.However, all I could care about that night was the feeling of my mate against me, his warmth, his scent, and the way he whispers comforting words in my ear. I told him about what happened to Rosie, and thankfully, he understood.By the time morning came, I was prepared for what need to be done. It didn’t take much to summon Thought, since

~KezziahTime greeted me in a local bar once I had thanked Rosie and left.It is almost empty in here considering the time of night. Once man sits in the corner of the room, sipping on his drink drunkenly. Time sat in a booth, holding a drink filled with a bronze liquid full of froth. He raises a dark eyebrow at me expectantly, waiting for me to share with him whether I succeeded or not.“It’s done,” I mutter, falling into the otherside of the booth tiredly. I’m empty after doing that, after seeing her in person and commiting what would normally be a heinous crime were it not for an Immortal like Time.“Thank you,” he murmurs, taking a sip of his drink.
