~Kezziah The 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

~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

~Kezziah I 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. 

~Kezziah I’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

~Kezziah I’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
