Time 34
~Time I’m not sure how long I lay there. Whatever poison she mustered, it’s punishing. Days must have passed, and yet here I am, still lying upon her chair, bandages strewn across my bare chest. Not once, has this crazed lunatic returned, even to check on me. She’s lucky I could lay here for centuries and not once even lose consciousness. But I’m bored…painfully bored. And angry. Footsteps echo throughout the basement, light and quick. Raising my head, ignoring the way my neck aches in protest. Jennifer walks into the room, dressed neatly, hair pulled back into a bun. The rest I hardly pay attention to; she’s hardly worthy of more than a brief glance. “Apologies about leaving you so long. I had business to attend to, people to correspond with,” she comments, dumping a pile of paper on the bench near me. I don’t say anything.“This is turning out to be more difficult than I intended. Here I was, thinking one of my professors would know how to return your powers. But no. So, you’ll
Time 35
~Rosie Time is by my side in an instance. My mind is overwhelmed, as I come to terms with the fact that my mate, from my era, has come here, instead of me having to go and save him. I had an elaborate plan within my mind, which for a moment, was put on hold, but Time did it himself. He escaped from whatever hell he had left himself in, and has come to save me. “Are you okay, did he…I hurt you?” Time questions, holding my shoulders tightly while he looks down my body, examining me. I can see the flash of concern in his eyes, as he sees my silken clothing supplied by his past self, and the fact that I look better than when I first arrived. “No…What’s Thought going to do to him?” I question, brushing Time’s arms off me. Moving past him, I go to follow to pair into the room past Time was dragged into, but my arm is grabbed. I pull away. “What?”“Thought will take his memories away. Then we need to leave while we still have enough power to channel,” he tells me, but I still pull my wr
Time 36
~Rosie I know Jasper. Well, know of him. Before I died, I was a Love Pack member, but I knew well of all the other Pack’s and Alpha’s which came along with it. Thirteen Pack’s, thirteen Alphas. Jasper was one of them, once. The Alpha of the Devotion Pack, with his Luna, Thea. After their deaths, which my memory falls to tell me how, their son took over as Alpha. But I never would have assumed Time would have anything to do with him. Not a mortal, even Jasper could have even been considered one. He was a Phantom Wolf, with special abilities I never looked into. It was always frowned upon, in the Love Pack. I couldn’t begin to imagine why. “Is he important?” I question, wondering why he brought me here, not too far from the future. Less than a few hundred years I would imagine. Time glances at me. “Unfortunately, yes.”As he approaches, his features become more apparent. Surprisingly, he isn’t how I remember seeing him in books and on the television. His hair is still the same muss
Time 37
~Rosie We didn’t stay in one place for very long. Almost as soon as I witness Time killing Jasper, everything around us began to shift and change once again. I grip him, unsure of whether I’m grateful to get away from that, or irritated that I didn’t get to know more of the story, and Time’s motive. I know why he did it, but I can’t just accept it as that. Did he really send Jasper on a mission just for me? I don’t want to believe it. My feet hit the ground with a jarring jolt. Time keeps me standing, as I regain focus on the new world that forms around me. My hand reaches out and I’m touching the rough bark of the tree. We are hiding, again, I realise. This time, we are starting at a scene that takes my mind a few moments to wrap around. It’s Alpha Faye, of the Independence Pack, standing in front of a figure I have never seen before. He has dark curly hair and...golden eyes. Is that Time in a different body?They stand by a cliff's edge, the man who I’ve determined must be time
Time 38
~Rosie I don’t remember much about my death. Being mortal, it’s a lot of what you think about. Your death. I remember being in a dark depression, that my life had fallen into a pit of inescapable sadness. Since becoming immortal, I’ve never considered death, or dying. Maybe it’s because I’ve had Time with me and my every step, and there is no way he would let me die as his mate. But as a mortal I was scared of death. Mainly because I didn’t think there would be a life after death, and that I would just cease to exist. Little did I know there would be an entire realm dedicated to immortals. I thought it was all myth. I even suspected Time to be a myth, because a creature like him seemed so unlikely to my simple mind back then. My brothers got into an accident two weeks before I died. I was devastated, and I still am. I’m desperate to find them, but until Time is done running from Sinful and finds a way to face him, I’m not going to see them. But I can’t think of that now. My life
Time 39
¬Rosie Three months later. “I thought we could do something today.”Resting my head back against the shower wall, I listen to Time’s persistent talking beyond the door. Eyeing where a lock should be, I turn the shower off, reaching for a towel to wrap around my body. I’m not anxious Time will walk in and see me naked...well, maybe I am slightly. He’s never seen me indecent, and I’m not about to let him after how things have been recently. It’s not that I’m still holding a grudge against him; I’m actually quite happy as an immortal now. But things have been awkward between us, and completely platonic. He hasn’t even kissed me, since I demanded he hunt down my brothers and bring them to me. So far, he hasn’t succeeded. Not for a lack of trying, though, which I appreciate. He’s been out almost everyday, trying to find my brothers who are proving to be very hard to find, all while concealing ourselves from Sinful. We are officially back in current time, and he’s a real threat. “Like
Time 40
¬Rosie Time doesn’t react the way I thought he would. He doesn’t explode in anger, like myself and Thought must have assumed he would. Instead, he doesn’t even flinch, the only reaction we receive is the slightest furrowed brow. I want to start blurting out about how much he is lying, but I let the silence in the room consume this situation, hopefully to make Thought feel guilty about the blatant lie he is feeding his brother. “I think you should leave,” Time says softly. Despite his soft tone, I can feel the anger dwelling beneath his tone, threatening to arise the moment Thought says a word that isn’t in his favour. I can’t help but shiver, but still don’t say anything, knowing Time would never believe that I would kiss his brother. Not after everything he has shown me. “Loosen up, brother. I’m only messing with you,” Thought says casually, leaning back in his seat with a devilish grin painted across his face. “Didn’t think that was still a soft spot for you.” Thought knows w
Time 41
¬Rosie It feels good to be in my mates arms like this, after all this waiting. There’s no way Time isn’t feeling this too. As he’s pressed against me, lips still firmly against mine, I can feel the heat coming from him in waves, his scent so familiar, sparking a fire inside me that I’ve been trying to hold down ever since I suspected Time didn’t have any interest in me in that way. Now that I know he’s been holding back on my account, I suddenly want him more than ever.Like the space between our bodies, the kiss heats up, to the point where excitement bubbles up inside me, as I anticipate where this is going. Unable to stop myself, I press my hand against his chest, keeping his back against the bed, I climb on top of him. He does seem surprised, as his hands delve beneath my shirt, feeling from my hips to my waist to my ribs, where they find their tentative stop. And then he pulls away. “If this is going to happen now, I want you not here, where my brother is right next door, po
