Talia Zevaris grew up in an orphanage at the edge of werewolf territory, a girl shaped by silence, survival, and a headmistress’s cruel hand. But through every scrape and shadow, there was Kade Lockwood. The Alpha heir noticed her when no one else did, defending her from bullies, offering her white roses each year on her birthday, and becoming the steady constant in her life. Talia admires him deeply—not with love, but with gratitude for a loyalty that never wavered. Now grown, Kade is no longer the boy she remembers. Tall, powerful, and fiercely protective, his affection has deepened into something heavier, bordering on obsession. His family disapproves of Talia, yet Kade refuses to let her go, even as his devotion begins to tighten into chains. And then comes Ash Nightwell. Enigmatic, magnetic, and dangerous, he is a man bound by his own ruthless code—honorable until betrayed, merciless to those who cross him. His piercing grey eyes seem to unravel Talia, recognizing something within her she doesn’t yet understand. Ash doesn’t chase her, yet his presence lingers in every glance, every breath, pulling her toward a fate she cannot escape. As secrets unravel, Talia learns her bloodline is not as ordinary as she believed. The world of packs, power, and supernatural politics wants something from her—something that may cost her everything. The roses that once meant comfort now feel like chains, and the two men tethered to her—one a childhood protector, the other a dangerous stranger—threaten to remake her world. Tethered in the Dark is a story of innocence colliding with shadows, where love can save, betray, or destroy—and where every choice drags Talia closer to a truth written in blood.
