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
TETHERED EPISODE 65
KEILAH As I sat in the backseat of the car, the scenery outside blurred into a haze of green and grey. My mind was a whirlwind of emotions, each one battling for dominance. Leaving the pack house had felt like ripping a part of myself away, especially knowing Ralph was left to deal with Zac and Isabella's treachery alone. The thought of them—the snakes in the grass—slithering closer to him, ready to strike, made my skin crawl. I couldn't shake the feeling that he was in grave danger. "Turn the car around," I blurted out, leaning forward to catch the driver's attention. My voice was laced with urgency and desperation. The driver glanced at me in the rearview mirror, his expression unreadable. "I'm sorry, ma'am, but I was ordered to take you straight to your house," he said, his tone firm but not unkind. "I forgot something important," I insisted, trying to keep the panic from my voice. "I have to go back. Please, it's urgent." He shook his head, eyes focused on the road. "I'm
TETHERED EPISODE 66
KEILAH The sharp pain in my stomach was relentless, and I struggled to stay conscious as Zac's cruel laughter echoed around me. My vision swam in and out of focus, and I felt a cold sweat break out across my forehead. The warmth running down my legs was a grim reminder of what was happening. . . the baby was no more. Zac's voice cut through the haze, filled with satisfaction. "Now, let’s see how your precious Ralph handles this." He turned back to Ralph, his gaze cold and calculating. Ralph, trapped in his wolf form and bound by Isabella's magic, let out a furious, agonized howl. The sight of my suffering seemed to fuel his rage, but he was helpless against the magical restraints. Isabella's eyes locked onto mine with a look of disdain, as if my pain was nothing more than a minor inconvenience to her. She stepped back, allowing Zac to revel in his moment of triumph. The pack members around us shifted uneasily, their loyalty torn between their alpha and their instincts to pr
TETHERED EPISODE 67
RALPH As I carried Keilah, her body felt fragile and light in my arms. Her breathing was shallow, and I could feel the tremors of pain coursing through her. Each step I took was fueled by a mix of fury, desperation, and an overwhelming need to protect her. The power that had surged through me only moments ago left me feeling drained, yet I was determined to get her to safety. I held her close, my heart aching at the sight of her pale, unconscious form. As I reached the living room, I moved to lay her on the couch, but Dahlia’s voice stopped me. “Not here, Alpha,” she said, her tone gentle but insistent. “Let’s get her into your room.” I nodded, unable to argue. The urgency in Dahlia’s voice cut through the fog of my mind and I carried Keilah into the bedroom, each step heavy with dread. Carefully, I laid her on the bed, my heart twisting at the sight of fresh, endless blood trickling out. The sight was a brutal reminder of what we had lost. Dahlia stepped forward, her expressio
