Death comes for everyone.
Even Drake Chandali. The aging process that twists all
unmated dragon shifters’ bodies into something useless has taken hold of his
body centuries early. A mate could have reversed the process, but now it’s too
late. To protect his team of enforcers, he leaves, and comes face to face with
the woman he’d thought was human when he saved her from a fire months before.
Except she’s not human. She’s a mate.
Camilla Carrillo almost lost her family to wildfire. To
discover she’s fated to mate a creature made of flame and rage, and become one
herself, should be terrifying. But somehow a rightness settles inside her,
especially when she’s around the glowering red dragon shifter who wants nothing
to do with her.
When Drake learns Cami bears his mark—the same mark as the
High King—he refuses to believe she’s meant to be his. It’s too late. How could
he turn Cami only to take her with him to the grave? At the same time, he can’t
walk away. Hiding her from the corrupt, rotting High King might be the last
honorable thing Drake ever does with the little time he has left.

Her heart thundered away against the inside of her ribs, the
sound loud in the relative silence of the room and the flutter pulsing against
his skin between their clothes. Her breathing pushed her breasts against her
shirt. Against him.
Despite the fear pumping adrenaline through her system, she
gazed at him with wide eyes that showed an inexplicable trust that grated
against him like a sandpaper sponge bath.
“What are you going to do to me?” she whispered.
Almost like she was daring him.
“You’re a mate,” he said.
“So?”
“Mates are like catnip to my kind—an obsession, a driving
urge to find our own. What if I took you now, claimed you, pushed my fire into
you?”
Her lips fell open on a silent gasp, but fear didn’t reflect
back at him even still. “You’d kill me if you aren’t my destined mate.”
So, someone had at least warned her of the deadly
consequences should the wrong man try to turn her. Had she listened? He squeezed
her wrists a little harder, pressing into her so she couldn’t mistake the heavy
cock pressing into her belly. “Yes.”
“You’d lose a part of your soul as well,” she pointed out.
He allowed his lips to tip up in what he fully intended to
be a menacing smile. “Perhaps it’s worth it.”
She stared back at him for a long minute. Then, suddenly,
her heart quieted, her breathing slowed, her body relaxing under his. “Go
ahead.”
She was fucking
daring him. Inside his head, his dragon growled, but not a warning, more like
approval. The animal side of him liked this woman.
That scared the hell out of him enough to have him fighting
the foreign urge to scramble off her.
When he said nothing, she tipped her head. “Just like I
thought. All bark.”
Bulls facing off against a matador in a ring dealt with less
provocation than this woman was daring to throw at him.
“You talk a good game,” she continued. “But you won’t hurt
me.”
Irritation spiked and swirled with a rushing need that had
gripped him since the second she’d stepped in front of him in the hangar and
he’d recognized her.
Drake slammed his mouth over hers, his kiss both full of
frustration, but also determined to frighten her into some semblance of
self-preservation. He kissed her harshly, wildly, even as he continued to pin
her to the bed.
Except she didn’t whimper or turn away or struggle. Instead,
Cami opened her mouth and licked the full seam of his lips, demanding entrance.
Fuck.
Gods help him, he opened, tangling his tongue with hers,
reveling in the give and take. Her flavor melted across his tongue, sweet and
tart at the same time, imprinting on his mind.
A glow vaguely penetrated his senses behind his closed eyes,
followed by a burst of heat that seemed to be originating from her.
Almost as fast as it happened, Drake jerked back with a
hiss, staring at a glowing spot under her white tank top. The source of the
heat.
Definitely a dragon mate. Which meant off-limits. Another
shifter’s mate.
With a groan he rolled away from her, flopping to his back,
and flung an arm over his eyes, doing his damndest to convince his dick to get
its head out of the game. “You need to get out of here.”
