I was her prisoner...she was my enemy. Now I'd burn kingdoms to keep her.
Valen
I've been chained like a beast for a year.
Collared. Muzzled. Left to rot in a dungeon beneath the palace of my enemy.
But when his sister, a curvy little princess, offers me freedom in exchange for a favor, I listen.
She needs a dragon to fly her across the Poison Desert to save her dying mother.
And I need her blood to Shift.
But not just any bite will do.
I have to sink my fangs into her inner thigh—right next to her untouched, forbidden heat.
And when I do… she moans.
She tastes like magic…feels like destiny…and smells like MINE.
Now we're bound together on a dangerous quest full of cursed forests, wicked witches, and ancient trials that force us closer with every step.
She was supposed to be a means to an end...
But now I'd burn down kingdoms to keep her.
Irena
They said the beast in the dungeon was dangerous.
They were right.
But I'm desperate—and the only way to save my mother is to make a deal with the terrifying man in chains.
He's not just a man—he's a Drake Shifter with claws, fangs, and eyes that glow like embers in the dark.
He says he can fly me across the desert…
But first, he demands my blood—and not from anywhere innocent.
He bites me on my thigh, and the pleasure is like fire licking across my skin.
Now I can feel him inside me… even when he's not touching me.
I thought I was just using the beast to save my family.
But the longer we travel, the more I realize—he's not the monster in this story.
And I'm not sure I want to be saved.
