I’m not sure what this revelation should mean to me.
Part of me immediately feels sorry for the oblivious girl out there who doesn’t know who the two mates arguing over her. One, a powerful immortal who belongs to a group of sins who want nothing more but for this world to burn. And an Alpha, who runs a Pack created of secrets, and what I’ve gathered, a sort of protection against the immortals.
Having either of them as my mate would be too much for me. So to know there is someone would there perhaps about to realise who their mates are, I can feel nothing but sympathy.

~KezziahI’m staring at a stunned man.The door behind me shudders closed, a silence following after. I had to come here. After what Cian revealed to me, it’s evident I have no other choice. No one else has offered to help me at all, and as much as I’m trying to figure this out myself, it seems unrealistic that I’ll succeed.Alden slowly rises from where he was sitting, eyeing me like I’m a foreign creature who crawled into his office. I don’t move from my stance. I can’t change my mind on this.“What…” he breaks off. “Are you sure?”

~KezziahI have no idea what to say.Alden is staring at me as if I have committed a crime. Maybe I have to. It wasn’t like I had a choice what was done to me by Time. The marking...The everything. How the bond between us works, I’m not sure. However, when he touched me, I felt nothing. No sparks, no feeling other then angry and hatred.“He’s not my mate,” I say carefully. I believe that, within me. I believe there is someone out there who is, but it’s not Time.I’m not sure why Alden looks so offended by this notion. Perhaps he is surprised he

~KezziahThe more time passed, the more days seemed to entwine into each other.It would be breakfast, lunch and dinner seeing Amilia, Etta and Melena. There was always knew gossip to be had. Whether it be another patient reacting badly to the medication, or someone caught sneaking off in the late hours of the night to be with their assigned guard. Etta seems to find these stories the most mesmerising, being the hopeless romantic that she is.Recently, I common trend had been patients graduating. A strange ceremony takes place where the girls are released from their holdings after their bond has been removed. Clearly Alden

~KezziahHis demands left me without any room to argue.If the Alpha wants something from you, he’s going to get it. No doubt about that. And as much as I’m skeptical about going with him elsewhere, I have been wanting to get out of this place for awhile. Who knows where he wants to take me, but all I know is tomorrow morning, I’ll be leaving this place for I don’t know how long.In the morning, Sermon came to collect me. I’ve never seen her look so pale. I would be mortified if I found out the Alpha was leaving the building along with one of the patients.

~KezziahThe drive was long, but I was too anxious to sleep.Alden seemed consumed in his own world the entire drive. Eyes trained ahead, foot never releasing from the pedal. I just stared out the window, enjoying the taste of freedom, trying to figure out where we are headed. Somewhere cold it seems. Alden’s car has optimal heating, but I can see the way the lush grassy meadows turn to dry tundra.The mountains dusted with snow that once lined the horizon came closer with every mile, until we were driving up the winding roads. Snow lining the road seemed to get thicker the more we climbed, until the roads were icy and mist craw

~KezziahHolding my gasp in, I stumble out the room.No, I must have been seeing things. There is no way Alden is branded by Time. No way at all. As much as it makes sense, I don’t want to believe it. It is why Alden has such a vengeance against Time, and why he wants to find the cure for the branding so desperately.Falling onto my bed, I stare up at the ceiling, trying to make sense of what I saw. I have a million questions I want to berate Alden with, but I doubt he will answer them. Especially considering I walked in on him just after he showered. Somehow I don’t think the reception to that will be very pleasant.

~KezziahI didn’t tell Alden about my dream the next day.Part of me feels uneasy, after being told not to put trust in any one. Was that a warning about Alden, or another who I have no yet encountered? Either way, I’ve concluded it was just a dream. A very realistic one, but no one can get into my head and mess with it, therefore, I should stop worrying.So when I skipped down the stairs after readying for the day, I didn’t pay it no mind. I didn’t even let it touch my expression, allowing Alden to believe everything is fine.

~KezziahThe next morning, Alden announced we were going home.I can’t say I’m all that happy about being sent back to the institute. Locked up at the mercy of Sermon, doing everything in routine, each day after the other doesn’t sound so appealing to go back to. But once we are back, Alden can take what he knows about my brand and the mate bond, and hopefully get some results.All I can hope for is Time isn’t any closer to finding out what is happening. If he comes back, I don’t know what he will do. Maybe figure what he wants with me, and why he decided to mark me.

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.

~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.”

~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

~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

~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.

~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
