Tethered To Fate Chapter 84: What Remains in Silence
Chapter 84: What Remains in Silence (Nayla’s POV) The wind outside the orphanage sliced through the air, sharp and unforgiving, like it resented the silence I carried. Snow threatened to fall, thick in the clouds above. Beside me, Dominic walked without a word. The iron gate groaned shut behind us, its clang echoing like a period at the end of a sentence I never got to finish. I should’ve felt lighter. I had answers, didn’t I? But I didn’t feel anything close to peace. Just… hollow. Dominic didn’t ask if I was okay. He didn’t try to touch me, didn’t try to fix what couldn’t be put back. He just stayed there—solid, quiet, his presence the only steady thing in a world that kept rewriting itself beneath my feet. “My whole life,” I said finally, the words rasping out against the wind, “I’ve been searching for truth like it would anchor me. Like it would make all the loss make sense.” He didn’t interrupt. “I thought maybe if I stood in the place where it all started, where I was ab
Tethered To Fate Chapter 83: Burn Through the Silence
Chapter 83: Burn Through the Silence (Nayla’s POV) I should have felt lighter. Some part of me believed that coming here—standing face to face with the man who had hidden me in plain sight—would unlock something. That the questions I’d carried my entire life would finally have answers. Instead, I felt like I was talking to another stone wall in a long hallway of locked doors. Kaidon had said enough to confirm everything I feared. That I’d been buried. Hidden. Cast into the shadows by people who thought they were protecting me. But now that I stood before him, awakened and unignorable—he still chose silence. He still chose fear. “I don’t need you to protect me anymore,” I said, voice low but firm. “You said I was a threat the moment I drew breath. So why are you still treating me like a secret?” Kaidon’s gaze didn’t flicker. “Because your bloodline doesn’t just carry power—it carries consequences.” “Then name them,” I demanded. “Say them aloud. Stop talking in riddles like th
Tethered To Fate Chapter 82 : The Night She Was Left
Capter 82: The Night She Was Left (Kaidon’s POV – Flashback) It was raining the night she came to me. Not a soft rain. The kind that split the sky and clawed through the trees like they were trying to drag the truth down into the dirt. The wind snapped hard enough to shake the old shutters, and thunder rolled low and constant, as if the sky itself was holding its breath. I stood at the edge of the orphanage’s east wing, where the forest pressed close and shadows ran deeper than any patrol could track. The staff were asleep. The wards were intact. No one knew I was waiting. The message had come with no seal—just a folded parchment marked with the faintest sigil of Ashera. Inked in haste, but written with purpose: We’re bringing her. Do not ask questions. You owe us that much. And I did owe them. So I didn’t ask. The car appeared just after midnight. Black. No lights. Its arrival was soundless, like it had slipped through dimensions rather than roads. A figure stepped
Tethered To Fate Chapter 81: The Resemblance and the Silence
Chapter 81: The Resemblance and the Silence (Nayla’s POV) They had the same eyes. That was the first thing I noticed. Sharp, storm-gray. Watchful. Both Kaidon and Dominic wore them like armor, quiet and cutting. Same posture too—backs straight even in stillness, jaws tense like their thoughts were one step ahead of their mouths. If I didn’t know better, I would’ve thought they were close. A father and son bound by legacy and blood. But Dominic had told me the truth. They weren’t close. They never had been. And that was what unsettled me most—that they could look so much alike, share the same commanding aura, yet carry a silence between them so deep it didn’t even feel angry. It felt like absence. Like something that had never had the chance to grow in the first place. There was something colder than rejection in that kind of silence. A kind of practiced distance, shaped not out of rage—but out of ritual. Dominic had never spoken with bitterness when he talked about Kaidon
Tethered To Fate Chapter 80: What He Left Buried
Chapter 80: What He Left Buried (Dominic’s POV) The road narrowed the farther east we drove—pines pressing closer, the sky shrinking with each mile. I hadn’t been back here in over twelve years, and yet the land still remembered me. I could feel it in the crunch of gravel beneath the tires, the way the trees leaned like they knew my name but refused to speak it. I gripped the wheel tighter. I didn’t have memories here. Not real ones. Just fragments. A voice that rarely raised but never soothed. A figure who appeared at formal events but never bedtime. My father was never truly present. Not even when he was in the room. The real architect of my childhood had been my mother. She pushed me into Alpha training the moment I was strong enough to shift. She didn’t raise me—she honed me. Shaped me into something sharp enough to lead, controlled enough not to question. I learned how to fight before I learned how to grieve. How to command before I knew how to trust. By the time I reali
Tethered To Fate Chapter 79: What Was Left Behind
Chapter 79: What Was Left Behind (Nayla’s POV) The ancient district felt like another world. The streets were narrow, lined with cobblestone and overgrown ivy. The buildings were old, leaning into one another like they were whispering secrets only time could understand. Magic shimmered here, not the showy kind, but the quiet, unsettling kind that made the hair on your arms rise. Dominic walked close beside me, one hand brushing mine as we approached the small, weather-worn building tucked between two merchant towers. The door was wood, carved with sigils so old I couldn’t name them. He knocked twice. Then once more. A latch clicked. The door opened a sliver, and a single golden eye peered through the gap. “I’m looking for the Keeper,” Dominic said. “No appointments,” the voice said flatly. “I’m not here for records,” I said, stepping forward. “I’m here for truth.” Silence. Then the door opened fully. The Keeper was taller than I expected. Thin. Pale. Ageless. His robes
