~Kezziah
Holding 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.

~KezziahI’m not as frightened by this news as I thought I would be. Maybe it’s because I don’t believe him…Alden is not my mate. There is no way. The moment he said that, the entirety of me felt the need to disagree. To hide what I’ve been feeling toward recently without any thought as to why. But that doesn’t mean he’s my mate. It doesn’t mean that because every time I look at him a flutter arises in my stomach he’s my mate.Time would lie to me about that. He would chang

~KezziahI should have known.I’ve always known Avia has had contacts in convenient places. Little did I know it would be a nurse right in the middle of Alden’s operation. Ever since Avia came across me after everything went down with Time, she has been so equipped with all the appropriate knowledge to get me through.And now, from afar, she is still ensuring I’m okay. It fills my chest with a comfortable warmth. Someone cares for me when I doubted there was anyone left.“You need to tell her I’m okay,” I tell her urgently. “Th

~KezziahI’m stubborn.Part of my denial is out of fear. That if it is true, and all these immortals aren’t feeding me false information. I trust Cian more than Time, but at the end of the day, he’s a Sin, and will do anything for his own benefit. He wasn’t attributed the Sin of Greed for no reason, and I will never forget that.“I can tell you don’t believe me,” Cian says flatly, folding his arms across his chest with a deep sigh. “Not that it really bothers me. Why ask if you don’t want to know?”“I was hoping you would say no, I’m not h

~KezziahUnderstandably, Alden looks confused.It slipped out of my mouth before I had time to go over it in my head. Beforehand, I had planned to walk in and approach this casually. Now I’ve stunned Alden, and left me raking my mind for a way out of this. I’m unsure of how I’m going to take a few steps back from what I’ve already said.I shouldn’t have come up here...I shouldn’t have thought it would be a good idea to approach Alden with this idea. I shouldn’t-“Could you say that again?” Alden asks. The creases in his forehea

~AldenMy first reaction was not to chase her.I felt it deep within the primal part of me. My instincts suggest I should follow her, catch her and bring her back here. But the practiced part of me knows better than to make a riot out of trying to find her. Frighten my people and risk exposing the expanse of what is going on inside this institute.So when the elevator doors glided closed, and Kezziah’s panicky face disappeared, I pulled myself to a stop and breathed in deeply. No matter how hard the depths within me pull me to follow her, to stop her before she escapes into the streets, I don’t.

~KezziahJamie’s fear told me everything.Whoever may behind me has him so frightened, he’s seized with fear, unable to say or do anything other than stare. I’m frozen too, muscles rigid under the hand that lays on my shoulder, tighten as each second passes. I have a feeling that if I wanted to escape, it wouldn’t be an option.Suddenly snapping into reality, Jamie says no more, quickly shoving his door closed. I hear the lock click, leaving me be with whoever has scared them so much.When they finally remove their hand, I slow
