~Alden
It hasn’t rained so hard in the Wisdom Pack for a long while.
Icy winds accompanied it, lashing against my back and side, soaking me right through to the bone. This weather is a personification of my mood. If there is even an inch of this city I haven’t searched today, I would would be very much surprised. On my own two feet two. As much as the ache and protest, begging to to stop.
My building comes into view through the haze of rain. People with black umbrellas up, rushing through the weather pay me no mind. With rain drenched hair and a solemn expression, I’m almost sure they don’t recognize me.

~KezziahI’m not sure why I’m so nervous to see Alden.Maybe I’m nervous for his reaction. I can’t imagine he will be very happy to see me. And all my privileges with a good room and being able to walk around will be taken from me. However, Fate is right. I need to go back and face this issue. With this ring on my finger, I’m almost certain to be hidden from Time. That is, if Fate is telling the truth.He took me from the strange realm between the mortal and immortal land to the top of a very large building. We teetered on the edge, the lights of the Wisdom Pack city so bright it’s disorienting. Fate holds my arm while I r

~KezziahI’m not sure what compelled me to do it.Maybe it is the mate bond between me and him that suddenly becomes apparent the moments our lips touch. The second it dawned on me, I pulled away though, not leaving enough time for either more or Alden to experience it long enough to grasp it in the moment. It was only until I pulled away and looked back into his stunned eyes that I realised what I had done.Alden blinks a few times, then tenses. In that moment, all my ideas Fate had plotted alongside me crumbled into nothing. I had just revealed we are mates. There is no longer any way to hide from this.

~Kezziah“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. I’

~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
