TETHERED EPISODE 38
KEILAH As I lay on the ground, dazed and hurting, Ralph's presence loomed over me like a dark cloud. I could feel his anger radiating off him in waves, his every breath heavy with fury."Why did you do that?" he growled, his voice low and dangerous. I struggled to form words, the pain and shock overwhelming my senses. But before I could respond, his grip tightened around my neck once again, his fingers digging into my skin like claws."You belong to me," he spat, his words cutting through the silence like a knife. "And you will learn to obey without question."With a final, brutal shove, he released me, sending me sprawling onto the ground once more. Gasping for air, I lay there, trembling with fear and pain."Get back in the car," he commanded in a chillingly even tone, his footsteps retreating towards his car. But as I resigned myself to obeying, a glimmer of hope flickered in the distance. A taxi approached, its yellow beacon of salvation drawing nearer with each passing mome

DAMIEN As her lips crashed against mine, a jolt of surprise shot through me, momentarily stunning my senses. Her desperation was palpable, her kiss frantic and fervent, but it wasn't the taste of her lips that overwhelmed me. It was the sudden rush of warmth, of life, that surged through me, drowning out the hunger that had threatened to consume me.Swiftly, almost instinctively, I pushed her away, breaking the kiss with a forceful shove. As I pulled back, I felt a cold mask settle over my features, my gaze hardening as I met her eyes."Don't ever do that again," I warned, my voice cold and authoritative. "You have no idea what you're playing with.”She recoiled at my sudden change in demeanour, her eyes widening in confusion and perhaps a hint of fear."I-I'm sorry," she stammered, her voice tinged with confusion and embarrassment. "I don't know what came over me. I just... I had to stop you."I shook my head, the memory of her lips against mine still lingering like a phantom touch.

KEILAH My heart pounded hard in my chest as Ralph dragged me away. I glanced back at Damien, who stood there watching us, his expression unreadable. When we were far enough from Damien's eyes, Ralph paused and turned to face me. I flinched back, expecting a slap or worse from him, but he just took a few steps back and shifted into his huge sleek black wolf form. My breath caught in my throat at the sight of his wolf. So magnificent, big, and so close to me. Hop on, his voice slipped into my head,his voice calm yet insistent.I hesitated for a moment but then took a tentative step forward. "You're beautiful," I whispered, my voice barely audible. I instinctively reached out my hand, my fingers trembling slightly.His wolf was breathtaking, his fur a sleek, inky black. Its eyes, a striking shade of amber, watched me intently, filled with a mix of urgency and reassurance. I took another slow step, my heart racing with a blend of fear and admiration.With deliberate gentleness, I pla

KEILAH "Wait, I don't understand," I said slowly, my voice tinged with suspicion. "Why now? Why the sudden apology when we both know we don't like each other? What are you planning—”Before I could continue, she took my hand, her grip surprisingly gentle. "That's why I want to make amends. Let's start off by officially introducing you to the other members," she said, her voice carrying a mix of determination and hope."Wait, what?" I protested, but she was already leading me out of the room.As she guided me down the hallway, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease. This was so unlike her, and I couldn't help but wonder if there was an ulterior motive. But her sincerity seemed genuine, and I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt—for now.We reached the dining room, which i didn't even know existed, and the moment we stepped inside, all eyes turned towards us. The room was filled with the pack members, each seated with plates of food in front of them. Conversations halted, and a

KEILAH As Ralph's deep voice broke the silence, I couldn't help but feel a knot tighten in my stomach. What could he possibly want to talk about at this hour? Oh, of course, there's a lot to talk about. But can't he wait for tomorrow? I grumbled inwardly.Swallowing the lump in my throat, I sat upright and hesitantly shifted closer to him, feeling the warmth of his body radiating against my skin. His presence was both comforting and unnerving, like standing on the edge of a cliff, unsure if I would fall or find solid ground beneath me.With a trembling breath, I spoke, my voice barely above a whisper. "Can't we talk tomorrow? I'm not feeling well and need to rest."He turned to face me, his expression unreadable in the dim light filtering through the curtains. His eyes bore into mine, searching for something I couldn't quite decipher. "I need to apologize," he began, his voice heavy with sincerity. "For everything that's happened between us, for the way I've treated you."I blinked i

RALPH As I sped down the road, the dense forest on either side blurred into a greenish-brown haze. My mind was already crowded with the thoughts of the tasks awaiting me at the Werewolf Council state, but my heart tugged me back to Keilah. Last night's conversation replayed in my mind, her soft voice, the way she looked at me with a mixture of scepticism and hope. Her vulnerability and her laughter had all left an indelible mark on me. I hope you meant every word you said to her. My wolf finally spoke up after ignoring me since yesterday. I thought you were dead. I teased. Not yet, but I will if you don't fulfil your promises. He said. Fur, did I look funny to you? I asked him. Before he could reply, I confirmed. I really meant every word and am so determined to make things right, to be the kind of mate she deserves. I said, but my Wolf didn't say anything else. Suddenly, my phone rang. I glanced at the screen and saw Zac's name flashing. For a moment, I considered ignor

RALPH Isabella’s brow furrowed in thought. “He might have reasons for keeping it secret. Perhaps he doesn’t want to alert the traitor before he can deal with them personally. Or maybe he’s trying to protect someone.”"It doesn't make any sense," I muttered, frustration evident in my tone as I exhaled heavily, trying to piece together the puzzle. “Whatever his reasons, I need to find out who it is. If they’re hiding within the pack, they’re a danger to all of us.”Isabella nodded. “Agreed. We’ll need to be vigilant and discreet. If Damien knows who it is, he might return, and next time, he might not be so easily repelled.”"You're correct," I acknowledged, scanning around. “But right now, you have to help me attend to the injured.”Isabella nodded before saying, “I’ll do just that.” With a nod of appreciation, I turned and headed inside and upstairs towards my room, my mind already shifting to thoughts of Keilah. I needed to see her to ensure she was safe. The pain on my side was sti

RALPHMy breath caught in my throat as the weight of Isabella's words hit me. Pregnant? The idea seemed both impossible and inevitable at the same time. Keilah and I had been together, but with everything happening, the possibility of her being pregnant hadn’t crossed my mind."Pregnant?" I repeated, my voice a whisper of disbelief. "But how... I mean, with everything going on, I didn’t even consider..."Isabella's eyes softened as she saw the shock on my face. "It makes sense now," she said gently. "The glow you saw, the fainting, the voice... it could all be connected to the pregnancy. Sometimes, Alpha baby pregnancies can trigger unexpected abilities or reactions, especially in the early stages."I ran a hand through my hair, trying to process the new information. "But why would a voice tell her to stop Damien? And why now?"Isabella sighed, her expression thoughtful. "That, I can’t explain yet. It could be a manifestation of her protective instincts, heightened by the pregnancy. O

KEILAH I tugged at Ralph’s hand, trying to pull him toward the ice cream shop. The brightly colored sign above the door read "Scoops & Smiles," and the kids were laughing inside, faces smeared with chocolate and sprinkles. The sweet aroma of freshly made waffle cones and creamy scoops of different flavours filled the air, and I couldn’t help but smile at the thought of indulging in a little treat. But Ralph, as always, resisted. "Come on, Ralph," I urged, trying to keep the frustration out of my voice. "It’s just ice cream. It’ll be fun!" He glanced at the brightly colored sign above the shop, then back at me, his expression impassive. "Mate, this kind of ice cream eating is for kids and teenagers," he replied, his tone calm but firm. "Not for someone like me." I stopped pulling and let go of his hand, the sudden release leaving my fingers tingling. My heart sank as I took in his stoic face, the same face that had ruined every date we’d tried to have in the past few months. It
TETHERED EPISODE 75
RALPH I shifted back to my human form, blood dripping from the gashes Zac had left. My heart pounded not from exertion but from the panic twisting in my chest. I need to find Keilah. The sound of approaching footsteps made me halt for a moment, and when I turned, it was Alexander and other council members marching towards me. As they reached me, Alexander stepped forward, his gaze piercing and authoritative. "Go get your mate and your pack, Ralph," he commanded, his voice low but firm. "And get out of this place.” I nodded, my throat too tight to speak. As Alexander turned to leave, he placed a firm hand on my shoulder, a silent gesture of understanding and urgency. Then, without another moment’s hesitation, I bolted out of the ring and dashed through the cave, my heart pounding as I searched for Keilah. Keilah, I called out through the mindlink, desperately trying to connect with her. But there was no response. My heart clenched, fear tightening around my chest like a vice. Kei
TETHERED EPISODE 74
RALPH I stared at Keilah, my heart pounding in my chest, torn between rage and panic as the echoes of the crowd’s gasps faded into the background. What was she thinking? The jug clanged as it hit the ground, and in that moment, I snapped out of my stupor. Without another thought, I moved forward, grabbing her arm and spinning her around to face me. “What the hell are you thinking?” I demanded, my voice low and intense, my eyes searching hers for an explanation. “Do you have any idea what you just did?” Her eyes met mine, and for a split second, I saw something in them—determination mixed with fear. But before I could process it, she broke into a laugh. It was forced, brittle, the sound of someone trying desperately to mask their true emotions. “Oh my God,” she gasped, clutching her stomach as if the whole thing were some sort of joke. “What did I just drink? I was so thirsty… I thought it was water, but whatever that was—ugh! It tastes awful! I hope I’m not going to die from it.”
TETHERED EPISODE 73
KEILAH I stared at Damien, my mind whirling with a thousand thoughts. His sudden appearance left me speechless, and the raw intensity in his eyes sent another shiver down my spine. The anger in his voice cut through the night air, sharp and cold. My heart pounded in my chest as I struggled to find the words to explain myself. “I—I saw something,” I finally managed to stammer, my voice trembling. “Those men… they were up to something, and I had to know what it was.” “And did you find out what it was?” he demanded, his voice sharp, cutting through the darkness. The fury in his tone was unmistakable, and it sent a fresh wave of unease through me. I swallowed hard, trying to steady myself. “I was about to, but… things didn’t go my way,” I admitted, the frustration in my voice matching my racing thoughts. I could still see the shadows moving in the forest, the broad man’s hand holding the gold jug, the council member’s secretive actions. It was all so close, and yet I had nothing to s
TETHERED EPISODE 72
KEILAH As we stepped into the cave, my breath caught in my throat. My mouth hung open in awe as I took in the sight before me. The cave was enormous, far larger than I could have imagined from the outside. It felt like an underground stadium, its sheer size making me feel small and insignificant. The walls stretched high above us, and the ceiling arched into a vast dome that seemed to go on forever. In the centre of the cave, where I expected to see some sort of battle ring, there was only an open space, secured by heavy steel chains forming a loose boundary. The ground was covered in sand, giving it the appearance of an arena, yet it felt unfinished, as if something crucial was missing. The emptiness of the ring added to the unsettling atmosphere, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of foreboding. As we walked further inside, I noticed the variety of packs gathered around. Some were chatting quietly among themselves, while others stood in groups, their eyes trained on us. The t
TETHERED EPISODE 71
KEILAH Ralph turned at the sound of my voice, his expression shifting from focused to concerned in an instant. The two men beside him exchanged glances but said nothing, clearly attuned to the urgency in my tone.“Keilah,” Ralph said, stepping closer as I hurried toward him. His eyes were searching, full of worry. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. “No, not exactly. It’s just… the pack members in the kitchen, they—” I faltered, struggling to find the right words. “They were being kind of creepy.”Ralph’s brow furrowed in confusion. “Creepy? How?”Before I could respond, one of the men cleared his throat. “I’ll go check on my Luna,” he said, heading off toward the house, while the other took a different route.I continued, my voice trembling slightly. “They were acting all concerned and sympathetic, which felt strange. It’s like they suddenly cared, and it threw me off.”Where have you gone, too? I was worried. I asked, not wanting to
TETHERED EPISODE 70
KEILAH Morning light filtered through the curtains, warming my skin as I slowly woke up, feeling much better than the night before. The weight that had pressed on my chest seemed to have lifted slightly, though it hadn't entirely disappeared. I reached out, expecting to find Ralph beside me, but my hand touched only cool sheets. He wasn’t there.I sighed, knowing he must already be up, preparing for the day. This day was crucial, not just for him but for the entire pack. I could feel the significance of it pulsing through the walls of the house.I pushed the covers off and headed straight to the bathroom. As I caught my reflection in the mirror, I grimaced. My eyes were puffy from crying, and the memory of Benita’s lifeless body falling off the upper floor crept back into my head, sending a rush of fever through my veins. My knees felt weak, and for a moment, the room spun.Gripping the edge of the sink, I steadied myself. I couldn’t fall apart—not today. Taking a deep breath, I turn
TETHERED EPISODE 69
RALPHI was in the middle of a conversation with Derrick and his Luna, discussing the ongoing tensions with Zac's former allies and everything, when a sudden Keilah's trembling voice echoed in my mind."Ralph, help! She's here... Benita…""The urgency in her voice chilled me to the bone, sending a shiver of dread down my spine.”"Keilah is in danger," I blurted out, interrupting Derrick mid-sentence. Instincts surged through me as I whirled around, poised to race out of the guest room. What the hell is Benita doing here? I thought I made it clear when I told her and her brother to leave. I was sure they'd gone.”But before I could move, a loud, sickening thud reverberated through the air, halting my steps. Derrick and his Luna exchanged a worried glance with me, their expressions mirroring the alarm in my own heart. My heart pounded violently, almost leaping out of my chest with the terrifying thought of Keilah being hurt.I rushed through the hallway, my footsteps echoing in the hall
TETHERED EPISODE 68
KEILAH I woke up slowly, my eyelids heavy and resistant to the light filtering through the room. Everything felt distant and hazy, like I was trapped in a fog I couldn’t escape. As my eyes gradually adjusted, I recognized the familiar scent of Ralph surrounding me, a comforting blend of pine and something uniquely his. It was enough to ground me, to remind me that I was in his room, safe for the moment.But the relief was short-lived. My mind began to pull at the edges of memory, dragging me back to the terrifying moment I wished I could forget where Zac punched me in the stomach. The searing pain, the shock, and the feeling of helplessness flooded back. I bolted upright in the bed, my heart racing wildly. “My baby!” I screamed, the words tearing from my throat as if voicing them could change what had happened. Panic surged through me, a torrent of fear and grief that I couldn’t control.My heart raced, pounding in my chest like a drum. The room around me swirled, and for a moment, I
