Tethered Novels & Stories

He asked and the anger I was trying to suppress threatened to burst out, something about him makes me angry almost immediately. "The tether! How many meters are we allowed to be separated from each other dimwit?" "Oh" He said as he perked up and dropped his hands "Well I'm not too sure, this stuff is pretty rare. Most pacts are mostly bonds, you know the usual I don't hurt you, you don't betray me and complete your work type shit, never tethers. But hey, that just means we are compatible, huh?" He said as he winked at me but noticing my unamused expression he dropped it and faced the street guiltily.

The club shattered, and Magnus was thrown back, his arm bleeding a dark, heavy red. "It’s too strong, Emma!" Runa cried, her daggers breaking against the Spire’s hull. "We can't break it with strength!" I looked at the Seven-Fold Anchor—the invisible chain we had forged in the Rift. I could still feel it, not as a frequency, but as a Tether. It was still linked to the planet’s core. "Félix! The friction!"

protocol I'd ever signed to buy him a tomorrow. The chain snapped tight. The physical curse binding me to Kael. Within the amber glow of the quartz walls, the resonance warmth we'd found in the sanctuary's heart had vanished. Now, the 1.5-meter tether was a serrated wire that bit into my ribs, dragging my pulse down to match the failing, eighty-percent-dead rhythm of the man behind me. I forged the collar to anchor him, but I'm the only one feeling the surge while the ghosts come to claim the remains.

I whispered, admiring the way it sparkled but noticed something odd about it. “It’s more than beautiful,” Zayne smirked. Undoubtedly wicked eyes affixed on mine, pulling my wrist to press my palm over his heart. “It’s a tether. Synced to my phone. If your heart rate spikes, if you move too far from the estate without the security... I’ll know.” I froze, trying to yank my hand back, "You’re seriously tracking me? I was joking about that dragon thing.” “I am merely protecting my world, from her world.”

The answer arrived slowly, the binding turning the question over the way something old and careful might examine an unfamiliar hand before deciding whether to trust it. Not blood, it said, in a voice that was neither Elena's nor the Warden's, older than either, textureless in a way that made it feel less like a being and more like a law given the capacity to speak. Not years, though your grandmother's grandmother gave those freely and this vessel remembers the debt fondly. What this binding requires from you is simpler and harder. A tether. Something living, given willingly, bound to the same frequency as the power itself, so that when the Ardenmere overflows, it overflows into something tha

Jaden just shook his shoulder giving a shrug like he was himself unaware and weirded out by the current situation. "By the way what is your name?" Isabella asked but when Jaden didn't reply, she spoke herself. "You know mine so it's fair only if I know yours too!" "Jaden" he answered And with that he walked away. Isabella also followed him outside towards the lift, hoping that she could get the pin for left so that she would leave but when they finally reached their resident put his fingerprint right adjacent to the lift where she saw nothing but plain steel after that the machine Shook and answered

“How does that tether thing work? How come I could go to the Malicious Ait without Cedric, but then afterwards I couldn’t go anywhere without him?” “The tether goes away for a short amount of time when you get close to each destination and comes back one of you finishes the trial.” “So if we’re in completely different places…” “You would be transported back to each other.” Moxdea finished for Cedric. “That’s romantic.” Cedric grinned. “This next trial will be even harder than the next. You will come face to face with your deepest fears, the things you love will hurt you and you will have to look deep inside yourself in order to move forward.”

“I think they put in stiches of some sort when you were in hospital previously, but it appears as though you have torn them open again somehow. We will need to take you back down to our hospital and redo it. That is not something you want me to do without some sort of atheistic” “Ok, but you are obviously aware of the slight flaw in that plan right?” I watch her nod slowly then look towards Abran again. I sigh. “I’m not going anywhere until you have spoken with Aiden” I heard them both mimic my sigh then watch as Kiara silently got up from my side and motion for Abran to follow her.
