LOGINAfter suffering the devastating loss of her aunt and her second child, Keilah makes the heart-wrenching decision to step away from her life with Ralph, the Alpha of Moonrise Pack. However, as she grapples with her grief, the vampire’s mark that had once vanished resurfaces with an overwhelming force, consuming her thoughts and pulling her towards the very vampire king she thought was gone forever. Damien Draven, the vampire king who saved Keilah from the brink of death with his venom, vanished into the shadows of the underworld where no light or human soul could reach. Yet, even in the darkest depths, he couldn't escape the persistent echo of Keilah's name, a call so powerful it drags him back to the human world. Here, love and war are set to collide once more, forcing both Damien and Keilah to face a destiny neither of them can outrun. "The Sting of the Vampire's Bite" is a spin-off from "TETHERED." To fully understand and enjoy Damien and Keilah's story, be sure to read "TETHERED" first.

This… this was real.He stepped out of the car, staggering like the weight of death was still wrapped around him. His face was pale. His eyes were dark red and hungry. His body… broken. But he was here.Damien.My Damien.My knees buckled slightly, but I gripped the porch railing harder. My heart was pounding so violently in my chest that I thought it might burst. Was this real? Was he real? My soul, so shattered, so hollow for days now, suddenly screamed awake.The moment our eyes met, it was like the rest of the world slipped into a blur. I didn’t care that Ralph was behind me. Or that Aaron stood frozen. Or my mother who held me with the spell that drained the hell out of us all, but... But it was all worth it. He's here. I didn’t even care that the sun was fading and the shadows stretched like long arms to pull me back into darkness.He was the only light
DAMIEN There was no pain.No fire. No breath. No heartbeat.Only darkness. And silence.I’d always imagined death would be loud—violent, chaotic. A scream. A storm. A final battle.But this?This was stillness. As if time itself had stopped breathing.I don’t know how long I floated like that—weightless, thoughtless—somewhere between the world I knew and something far beyond it. Maybe years. Maybe seconds. All I knew was that I was…gone.Until I heard her.Not Keilah.Deirdre.Her voice wasn’t a whisper. It wasn’t some fading echo. It hit me like a thunderclap.“Damien.”I turned—if you could call it that. In this place, there was no body, just consciousness… drifting.Then there was light.Soft at first, then blinding. Warm, but not burning. And in the centre of it—was her.Deirdre.She wore the same white dress from the night I first saw her at the blood gala, the one with the silver threading and the low back that made every creature in the room pause. Her smile hadn’t changed. Ge
KEILAH There was no ground beneath me.No sky above.Only weightless, endless stillness.And cold.Not the kind that bites at your skin—but the kind that seeps into your soul. A hollow, echoing cold that whispered of things lost… and never coming back.I didn’t know how long I’d been drifting here. Time didn’t exist. Just silence… and shadows.Then—A sound.Tiny. Familiar. Fragile.“Mama?”My eyes snapped open.That voice.God—that voice.My heart stuttered in my chest as I turned. Everything around me remained a blur of silver fog and darkness, until something small… glowed.A light. No, not a light—a child.A little boy stepped through the mist. His hair a tangle of soft curls, his tiny feet bare. Brown eyes too deep for someone his age. He wore the same yellow sweater he died in.“Evan…” I whispered.My knees buckled as I dropped to the floorless ground beneath me. He stood just a few feet away, blinking at me like I was someone he wasn’t sure he was allowed to love anymore.“Bab
RALPH The scent of blood was everywhere.Not fresh. Not human. Not even real. It was tainted—an illusion. Something this cursed realm twisted in the air to confuse you. To lure you. And I was already starting to feel it claw at the back of my skull.Aaron sniffed sharply beside me on his horse and muttered, “Something here smells off.”I nodded slowly. “I know, right…”We were riding in silence, flanked by the vampires who were supposedly leading us toward the damn castle.But something was wrong.And then—it happened.The vampires ahead of us stopped. All at once. Like puppets with their strings cut.The horse snorted, uneasy. I tightened my grip on the reins, senses spiking.The lead vampire turned his head toward us.Expression blank. Eyes hollow.And then—they began to vanish. One by one. Dissolving into smoke. Melting into the shadows like ghosts with unfinished business.No sound. No explanation.Aaron jumped off the horse in one swift motion, boots hitting the ground hard. “Wh
