Novelas de Tiku Writes

The radio message cut off, leaving only heavy silence in the den.My heart hammered against my ribs. Twenty-four hours. That was all the time we had before the corporations came to burn everything down. I was still knotted to Kael, our bodies locked together, but the warmth of the bond felt suddenly fragile.“They won’t stop,” I whispered, voice shaking. “Not until they have me back in a lab.”Kael’s arms tightened around me, his knot pulsing deep inside. “They’ll have to kill me first.” His voice was rough, dangerous. He rolled us so I was beneath him again, amber eyes burning into mine. “Look at me, Elara. You’re not going back to them.”I nodded, but fear still clawed at my throat. Surface emotion: terror of being taken. Underneath: crushing guilt that I was putting everyone in danger. Suppressed: the growing need to stay with him. Core wound: believing I deserved to be dragged back and punished.He started moving again, slow and deep, like he needed to remind both of us that I bel

Jax’s words still echoed in the den long after he left.Kael’s knot had finally released, but he didn’t let me go. He kept me pressed against his chest, breathing hard, his hand stroking down my spine like he was trying to calm both of us.“He’s not the only one,” I whispered against his skin. “You heard Lena. Some of them are scared enough to turn on you… on us.”Kael’s jaw clenched. “I built this pack from nothing. I kept them alive when the world fell apart. If they want to sell you for a chance at safety, they’ll have to go through me first.”I pulled back enough to look at him. His amber eyes were glowing faintly, the bond pulsing with a mix of fury and exhaustion. Surface emotion: pure rage. Underneath: deep fear of losing control. Suppressed: the growing attachment he didn’t want to admit. Core wound: another pack crumbling because of me.“Let me talk to them,” I said quietly. “Maybe if they hear it from me”“No.” His voice was firm. He tilted my chin up. “You are not their ene

Lena’s words hung in the air like smoke after a fire.Kael’s body went rigid behind me, his knot still locked deep inside as he held me protectively against his chest. I felt the surge of his anger through the bond hot and sharp mixed with something colder. Fear for his people. For me.“Double the bounty?” he repeated, voice dangerously low. “Who the fuck is talking?”Lena shifted uncomfortably in the doorway, her eyes flicking to me for a second before returning to her Alpha. “A few of the newer ones. They’re scared, Kael. The broadcast shook them. Varen’s offering safety and power. Some think handing her over might be the only way to survive what’s coming.”I swallowed hard, my face pressed against Kael’s shoulder. The shame I thought I had started to control came rushing back. I was still a liability. Still the scientist who ruined their lives.“Close the door,” Kael ordered. Lena obeyed quickly and left.The second we were alone again, Kael pulled out of me carefully. The loss o

The radio message kept repeating in my head long after the static died. One million credits. Dead or alive. Kael’s arms were still wrapped around me like steel bands, but I could feel the shift in the air. The bond thrummed with his barely contained fury and something heavier worry. I pulled back slightly, searching his face. “They know my name. They know exactly who I am.” His jaw tightened. “The corporations never stopped hunting their lost weapons.” He brushed a strand of hair from my sweaty forehead, the gesture surprisingly gentle after everything. “But they won’t touch you.” Before I could respond, someone knocked hard on the den door. “Alpha,” Rafe’s voice came through, tense. “The pack is gathering in the common hall. They heard the broadcast. Some of them… they’re scared. They want answers.” Kael cursed under his breath. He looked at me, eyes dark with conflict. “Stay here.” “No.” I sat up, pulling the sheet around my naked body. “If they’re talking about me, I

Chaos exploded the second Varen issued his challenge. Kael’s roar shook the cavern walls. His knot was still locked deep inside me, thick and pulsing, trapping us together on the stone altar while the entire pack froze in shock. I couldn’t move. Couldn’t close my legs. Couldn’t even breathe without feeling every inch of him stretching me open in front of everyone. “Stay behind me,” Kael snarled, but his voice was strained. The bond between us burned with his rage and raw protective instinct. Varen laughed, stepping closer with his men flanking him. “You’re literally stuck inside her, Kael. How do you plan to fight like that? Pathetic.” I felt Kael’s muscles tense, his arms wrapping tighter around my body as if he could shield me from everything. Pain shot through the bond sharp and physical. Trying to separate now would hurt us both. The resonance had grown too strong too fast. “Get the fuck out of my den,” Kael growled, his voice vibrating through his chest into mine. “She i

Kael’s fingers tightened around my old ID badge until the plastic creaked.“You didn’t just work on the project…” His voice was dangerously low, almost a whisper. “You were one of the fucking architects.”I froze beneath him, still locked on his knot, my body trembling from the aftershocks of our last round. My mouth went dry.“I tried to tell you,” I whispered, tears slipping down my temples. “I wasn’t just following orders, Kael. I helped design the resonance protocols. I signed the approvals.”The bond between us flared with his rage. It burned through my veins like acid. Surface emotion: pure terror. Underneath: crushing guilt that made my chest cave in. Suppressed: the sickening awareness that part of me still craved his punishment. Core wound: I deserved whatever came next.Kael pulled out of me slowly, deliberately, leaving me empty and leaking. He stood up, towering over the bed, every muscle rigid. For a second I thought he might strike me.Instead, he dragged me up by the wr
