Tethered Souls Novels & Stories

But then she found a section that made her stop cold. On the Nature of Bonds and Their Corruption She read it three times to make sure she understood correctly. According to Moira’s notes, the bond between alpha and mate was based on an older spell something called the Tether. It was designed to link two souls so completely that they could share power, thoughts, even life force. But the Tether had a weakness: it could be corrupted from the outside if someone got hold of the bonded pair’s essence—blood, hair, tears, anything that carried their magical signature.

the voices rattled around inside my skull, pressing so hard against my ears that I felt something wet drop down my earlobes… blood, real blood, staining my neck. The warmth of it trickling down felt obscene against the cold possession gripping my insides. "You cannot sever the tether. We are one. If you tear me out, you tear your own soul apart. Look at him… he is a weak, mortal tether. Let him rot in the dirt."

Across the bay, the Ivory Spire of Vane Global pierced the clouds, a needle of white light in the darkness. "There it is," I said, my eyes narrowing. "The Vault. The Origin. And the man who thinks he can trade my soul for a profit." "Zora, wait," Dante rasped, grabbing my arm. He pulled me toward him, his forehead resting against mine. "The Tether... it’s changing. It’s not just draining me anymore. It’s... searching. If we go into that Vault, the Origin will try to lock onto me. She’ll try to replace you."

- I say venomously. "You shouldn't... trust... blindly..." - her eyes are dilated now, and I've had enough. Releasing her, she falls on her chair. She puts her hand on her neck, coughing violently. I sigh, it is just a waste of time. I turn towards the door and with quick steps I walk through the room. My hand is on the handle when her voice stops me. "Her twin soul will do anything to destroy you. Find the reason and a solution for it before the Blood Master comes for you!" - I turn sharply, looking into her opal eyes.

“Sarah has been dead for years…..for so long. How can she fix this now?” The seer’s face turned grave. “Her body died but her soul did not move on. That is what I saw. Her soul is trapped in the astral realm…in chains….held between worlds. That is why Tariq still walks untouched. Because the soul that binds his curse is not at peace. It cannot finish its work. It cannot claim him.” She paused. Her jaw tightened.

Maybe something a lot worse than we are thinking. A tether creates a bond between two beings. If used a certain way a tether can be used to share memories, or experiences. A tether can be used to get into someone's mind and find things that are blocked or lost. Being a tether can let someone into your mind a hell of a lot easier.

But Payal turned to the other side. Rakesh got up and brought the violin from inside the camp and started playing it. First its tune was light and calm and later it turned up and its tune and melody just started mixing an environment, running stream, tall trees and calm greens. Payal was feeling this tune. Like it was anchored her heart and she felt like current is running down her spine. She was feeling every single wave disturbance by this tune. As Rakesh stoped playing the tune. And as Payal switched off from her imaginations. She shouted "shit, its burned out"

" I feel myself being disconnected, the tethers that have held me in Charles’s mind are breaking. I feel my body seize and shake as the bonds are broken. I panic when I look down and realise I’m not attached to anybody, I’m floating and looking at the scene below me. Am I drifting away, never to be heard from again? I feel no attachments or anchors, my spirit is free and there is a purple glow. Looking down at the pack members who have attended, I see Joe looking up. It feels like he is looking straight at me. “The tether is not strong enough, we must repeat,” he says, his voice sounding distorted.

Lucien's pov I was surprised to see Avery here. I looked into her crimson-red eyes as she looked back at me, she seemed to be even more beautiful than the last time I saw her. This was bad, I never thought she would appear here, what had happened? A tether was supposed to be a link that gave you a reason to live and to survive. That will be converted into hidden potential that would in turn grant the wolf extra strength to overcome. The stronger the tether was the better the connection and the more extra strength you could receive. But I had heard of a tether appearing during one's awakening process.

"My pleasure. You were gone for a really long time. I didn't know how to bring you back. "How did you then..." She said, before realizing she couldn't move. "What did you do." She kept struggling to move from my chest but it was pointless, with two fingers I had disabled that ability."I needed to keep you still. I didn't even think it was going to work." I quickly explained. "I tethered our souls together and tried to enter your subconscious." With a tap to her forehead , her ability to move returned to her. She stretched her limbs which had fallen asleep while in her daze.
