Pisau Survival

"You may be mine, but I am not yours." Kalmin’s emerald eyes blazed with fury as he turned away, slamming the door and locking Nuri inside. "I didn’t ask to be your mate, Alpha,” Nuri hissed at the door. “And if I had a choice, I wouldn’t choose you either.” But choices mean nothing when fate decides for you. __________ Nuri is a half-wolf, half-human hybrid—unclaimed by any world, unwanted by her mate, and trapped in a bond forged by fate. Kalmin is the ruthless Alpha of the Blue River Pack, feared for his brutality and worshipped for his power. The only thing he despises more than weakness… is her. She didn’t ask to be his. He refuses to be hers. But there’s no severing the mating bond. No escape from the pull that drags her closer every time he pushes her away. And no hiding the way her body betrays her when he gets too close. What begins as a battle for survival becomes something far more dangerous—an unraveling. Of secrets. Of control. Of hearts. Because hating someone is easy. Wanting them is not. In a world where strength is survival and love is a luxury neither of them can afford, Nuri must decide if she’ll run—or rise. __________ Dark. Addictive. Fated. This gritty werewolf romance is for 18+ readers only. Contains graphic sexual content, violence, and themes some may find triggering. Proceed with caution—and maybe a safe word.

Suaranya terdengar ringan, malas, namun ada nada menggoda yang tak bisa diabaikan. "Bu Ny. Presiden, aku mau matikan lampunya. Kau yakin ingin tidur meringkuk seperti bakpao kukus sambil memeluk pisau?" Perempuan itu menatap tajam sambil tetap memegangi senjata kecil yang ia bawa untuk berjaga-jaga. "Kalau begitu, kau bisa tidur di luar." "Tidak mungkin," sahut pria itu cepat. "Ini rumahku." "Siang tadi, kau sendiri yang mengalihkan hak kepemilikan rumah ini padaku. Jadi sekarang, ini rumahku," balasnya tenang, tapi tajam. Saling menantang di antara batas logika dan perasaan, keduanya berdiri di ujung ketegangan yang entah akan berakhir dengan perang atau... sesuatu yang jauh lebih membingungkan.
