Tethered

"The girl is mine" he all but growled, motioning with a tilt of his head towards me.
In that moment I knew exactly who he was and what he was talking about. I paled at the realization as my throat went dry and my heart slammed against my chest repeatedly.
"Oh my god" I whispered, covering my mouth as I backed away from the two guys in front of me.
I was his tether.
"The hell she is" Fevah fired back, still not getting it.
He was ignored by the stranger as I seemed to have claimed his full attention. He smiled sweetly at me, taking small steps towards me, trying not to frighten me.
"It's alright sweetheart, I could never hurt you" he called, his voice soft and melodious.
I froze, fear freezing me in my spot as the wind seemed to suddenly pick up and toss my light brown hair in my face. Tears sprang up to my eyes. I didn't want this. I didn't want him. This was the one thing I would never want. My parents would disown me if they found out. I would get kicked out and be left for dead. I can't let them find out; I'll just have to find a way to get rid of him. I knew that wasn't going to be easy.
"You've got to be shitting me" Fevah suddenly said, his eyes going from the stranger then back to me.
Realization had finally hit him. I was a freaking monsters...or what ever he was, tether. He swallowed loudly before scratching the back of his neck uncomfortably.
"She's my tether" the stranger said offhandedly, his voice soft as he eyed me approvingly.
