TETHERED EPISODE 57
RALPHI took a deep breath, trying to rein in my frustration. "Fine. We'll do it in front of everyone," I agreed reluctantly. "But know this, Benita. This changes nothing between us. You're only doing this to keep your status, and I'm only doing this to keep my wolf."Her smile faltered slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. "Of course, Alpha. I understand.""Good. Now leave me," I ordered, my tone brooking no argument.She hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked away, her posture stiff. I watched her retreating form, my mind still in turmoil. The human woman's face flashed in my thoughts once more, and I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to her than met the eye.I made my way to Isabella's room, my steps hurried and determined. I knocked on her door, my patience wearing thin. When she didn't answer immediately, I pushed it open and stepped inside. She was standing by the window, her gaze distant."Isabella," I called softly, not wanting to startle her.
TETHERED EPISODE 58
RALPHLater in the evening, the moon hung full and radiant in the midnight sky, casting a silver glow over the clearing where the pack had gathered. I stood tall with Benita beside me at the centre of the clearing, my gaze solemn yet filled with determination. Around us, the pack members assembled in a circle, their eyes gleaming with anticipation.Turning towards the pack, I addressed Benita, my voice carrying through the still night air. "Benita, as the Alpha of the Moonrise Pack, I choose you as my Luna, my equal and partner in leading our pack."Benita stepped forward, her eyes reflecting both excitement and reverence. "And I, Benita, accept this role willingly and vow to stand by your side, to lead with wisdom and compassion, to protect our pack with all that I am."I nodded, acknowledging her vows before making my own. "As Alpha, I vow to protect and cherish you, to honour our bond, and to lead our pack with strength and fairness."Benita stepped into the centre, and I could f
TETHERED EPISODE 59
KEILAHTears streamed down Deirdre's face as she held onto Damien, her form seeming to flicker in and out of reality, yet somehow solid in his embrace. Damien's eyes were closed, his face buried in her hair as he whispered her name over and over, like a prayer.For a moment, I stood there, feeling like an intruder in their private reunion. I took a step back, giving them space, my mind racing with the implications of what I had just witnessed."Deirdre..." Damien's voice was choked with emotion as he finally pulled back slightly to look at her. "How is this possible? I thought I lost you forever," he said as he pulled her back into his arms. Deirdre pulled away, her hands gripping his shoulders as she spoke urgently. "There is something you have to know," she said, her eyes wide and pleading. "Ralph has nothing to do with my death," she continued, her voice trembling with the weight of her words.Damien's face softened, a sad smile touching his lips. "I already know that," he repli
TETHERED EPISODE 60
KEILAHI jolted awake, disoriented, my heart pounding in my chest. The dimly lit room around me was unfamiliar, and it took a moment to recognize the faint scent that filled the air. Dhalia. This was her room. She even changed me into one of her dresses, a short, delicate garment. I looked around, a dull headache throbbing at my temples. What the heck happened? Did I pass out from the pain? I wondered.I sat up slowly, my hand instinctively moving to my chest. The sharp, burning pain I had felt last night was gone, but a dull ache lingered. I brought my hand to my neck, touching the spot where Ralph’s mark was. As my fingers brushed against it, a strange sensation pulsed through me—a mix of warmth and sadness.Memories from the previous night flooded back. I recalled Dahlia's revelation that Ralph was sleeping with Benita. The thought made my chest tighten again, as if the pain was threatening to return. I forced myself to take a deep breath, trying to convince myself that Ralph must
TETHERED EPISODE 61
KEILAHI stood there frozen, staring at the wolf that now stood in Ralph's place. My heart raced, pounding so hard it felt like it might burst from my chest. He took a step towards me, his eyes locked on mine with an intensity that sent a shiver down my spine. I stumbled backwards, my feet slipping on the wet floor, and I fell hard on my butt with an embarrassing thud. Pain shot through me, but I barely registered it. The wolf's eyes were fixed on me, and I could see a maelstrom of emotions swirling within them—anger, confusion, guilt, and something deeper that I couldn't quite identify. He moved closer, his powerful form radiating a mix of menace and sorrow.I could feel the turmoil within him, the pain he was struggling to contain. As he stopped just inches away, I found myself unable to look away from his gaze. His eyes bore into mine, and in that moment, I felt an overwhelming wave of sadness wash over me."Ralph?" I whispered, my voice barely audible over the pounding of my hea
TETHERED EPISODE 62
BENITAI stormed down the hallway, each step echoing like thunder against the walls. Fury and perplexity waged war within me, each emotion fueling the other. Reaching my room, I erupted in rage, hurling everything within reach. Picture frames shattered against the walls, books scattered like fallen leaves, and furniture crashed to the ground. "I'll kill her this time!" I screamed, my voice raw with anger. "No one will stop me!" Amidst my torrent of sarcasm, my wolf's growl reverberated in my mind, cutting through the noise. "You're right. No one can stop us. But whatever happened back there is the only thing that can."I froze, chest heaving in ragged gasps. The memory of being thrown back, the pain like shards of silver piercing through me, replayed in my mind. "Whatever is protecting that human is powerful," my wolf continued, tinged with both respect and fear. "It felt like colliding with a wall of silver shards."As anger ebbed, a cold realization set in. Clenching my fists,
TETHERED EPISODE 63
RALPHKeilah's eyes widened at my declaration, and I thought she was going to ask me about it, but instead, she asked, "Ralph, do you remember me now? As your mate? Our plans, everything?"I stared at her for a moment, my heart aching. "I do, mate," I said, my voice thick with emotion. "I remember you, baby girl."Her face lit up with a radiant smile, so pure it pierced through the darkness in my heart. Before I knew it, she threw herself into my arms, and I held her tightly, feeling her tiny hands gripping me as if she never wanted to let go."Thank God you're back," she murmured, her voice filled with relief and joy.I buried my face in her neck, inhaling her scent deeply, the familiarity of it grounding me in the moment. "I'm back," I murmured, my voice muffled against her skin. "And I promise, I'll never leave you again."We stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, the world outside fading away. The chaos, the pain, the betrayals of those I cherished and trusted—all of it seeme
TETHERED EPISODE 64
RALPH Before I could address the pack, Zac's men stepped forward, their faces etched with anger and suspicion. One of them, Garret, pointed a finger at me accusingly. "This is your doing, Ralph," Garret spat, his voice dripping with venom. "You conspired with that vampire to take Zac away because you knew he was going to be crowned our next Alpha." I turned slowly to face him, my eyes narrowing. "Is that what Zac told you?" I asked, my voice cold and steady. Garret didn't respond, but his defiance was clear. I scanned the rest of the pack members, noticing some with their eyes downcast, while others exchanged uneasy glances. "Is that what Zac told you all?" I continued, raising my voice to reach every ear. "That he's your next Alpha?" A heavy silence hung in the air, broken only by the rustling leaves in the yard. Then Garret spoke again, louder and more confident. "No, we just don't want you as our Alpha," he declared, his eyes blazing with conviction. "You're not capable of
