Protocol of the Alien Pod

Trapped in a malfunctioning bonding pod. Stranded with an alien alpha. And my suppressants are failing.

Researcher Luca Renn expected thirty minutes of routine maintenance. Instead, he's locked inside an experimental chamber as chemically enhanced fluid rises around him and the laboratory's most unpredictable aquatic specimen is released.

Subject A-9 is enormous, intelligent, and equipped with tentacles that seem to understand Luca's every need.

But while the pod's malfunction triggers an unwanted heat, A-9 offers something unexpected: protection, patience, and a connection Luca never imagined wanting.

Now Luca must decide what the bond means to him, even as the laboratory races to regain control of the system.

Protocol of the Alien Pod is an explicit MM omegaverse monster romance featuring tentacle intimacy, knotting, breeding themes, possessive tenderness, and a consensual relationship developing within an involuntary laboratory emergency.
