Chapter 29 - Family Ties

The return from Refuge-3 had left us with a renewed sense of purpose, the elders' words echoing in our minds like a call to arms—the black-market's grip tightening, hybrid rights a distant dream but one worth fighting for. Kira had departed that morning, her van rumbling away with promises of network updates, but not before one last bold move: As we said goodbye at the door, she pulled me into a tight hug, her muscular arms wrapping around me, her tail coiling around my leg in a firm, unapologetic squeeze that pressed her body flush against mine. "Stay safe, biology boy," she'd whispered hotly in my ear, her breath sending shivers down my spine, her hand sliding down my back to "accidentally" graze my ass. "If Miko ever wants to share... or if you need a wolf's strength..." Her eyes had gleamed with desire, no hiding her intent—wanting me, drawn to the passion she sensed between Miko and me. Miko had watched with narrowed eyes, jealousy simmering, but she'd held her tongue, love trusting our bond.

Now, back in the old Victorian, the attic called to me again—my aunt's journals a treasure trove we hadn't fully explored. While Miko napped downstairs, her lithe form curled on the couch with a soft purr, I ascended the creaky stairs, dust motes dancing in the beam of my flashlight. The air was thick with grief—the scent of aged leather and faded ink stirring memories of my aunt, her eccentric laugh, her mysterious trips. Pulling down another box labeled "Final Entries," awe washed over me as I flipped through the pages. Sketches of hybrid anatomy, notes on suppressants, but then—a chilling revelation: "Suspect Chimera infiltration. Colleague turned—poisoned my tea? Heart 'attack' imminent. If reading this, destroy evidence. Helped 23 escapes, including Feline-Alpha-7. Legacy lives."

My hands shook, shock freezing me in place—aunt's death tied to Chimera, not natural. Grief crashed like a wave, tears blurring the ink—regret for not knowing her secrets sooner, anger at the faceless organization that stole her. But pride swelled too—her heroism, aiding Miko's kind, our fates intertwined before we met. Joy flickered at the legacy, but fear dominated—what if they knew about the house? Vulnerability gripped me, the weight of inheritance heavy.

Descending, I found Miko awake, her golden eyes concerned. "What's wrong?" she asked, standing to pull me into her arms, love radiating as she nuzzled my neck. I shared the journal, voice cracking with emotion—grief in recounting her death, awe at her bravery, fear for us. Miko's ears flattened, tears spilling as she read, vulnerability raw. "She... saved me? Indirectly?" Joy lit her face, hugging me tightly, her purring vibrating through us. "Your family... my saviors." But anger flashed—fury at Chimera's cruelty, her claws extending to scratch the table lightly.

We called the group—Kira via video, Elena arriving swiftly. The living room filled with tension, the journals spread out. Kira's face on the screen hardened, grief in her gruff voice. "Damn... another fallen ally." Elena paled, guilt twisting her features—her dad's role in Chimera a shadow. "This confirms the poison protocols in his files," she said, her hand reaching for mine in "comfort," but I pulled away, loyalty to Miko firm. Kira, sensing the moment, flirted bolder over the call: "You holding up, biology boy? Need a wolf's shoulder? Or more?" Her tail visible, swishing suggestively, her moves unhidden—whispering closeness, a virtual caress that stirred confusion.

Miko's jealousy ignited, her tail lashing as the call ended. "She's relentless! And Elena—still eyeing you like prey." Anger boiled, hurt in her eyes as she paced, vulnerability cracking her voice. "After our eternal... do I have to fight everyone for you?" Tears fell, fear of losing me amid threats. Guilt wracked me—regret for not shutting down advances sooner. "I'm yours—only yours," I insisted, pulling her close, love surging as we embraced.

The argument softened to emotional debrief—tears mingling, reassurances whispered. "I love you... through the chaos," she sobbed, passion igniting. In the bedroom, she dominated—straddling me, sinking onto my length with a possessive yowl, her tight heat clenching in emotional waves. "Feel my claim," she moaned, riding hard, claws marking my chest in red lines of love. Joy returned in our sync—thrusts deep, her tail restraining my wrists in soft fur bonds, the kink deepening our connection. "Bind me to you," I gasped, vulnerability in submission, her movements tender yet fierce.

Climax built with all emotions—her walls fluttering, tears falling as she shattered, release gushing hot, yowls of joy and relief; mine following, spilling inside with groans of devotion, aftershocks trembling through us. In aftercare, holding her close, purring steady, grief and fear eased by love. But the aunt's legacy hinted at greater perils—Chimera's reach extending, our alliance strained. Emotions collided, but our bond endured
