I’m the only one who can save her.
My freedom comes with hers.

She’s my mate and my dragon will fight to keep her.
She’s my only reason to lie.
How could someone as incredible as her want me?

She’s so smart and independent.
I’m just a convict with no future.
Maybe if she sees the real me, if I can lower my walls.
But the last time I did, I was betrayed.

I won’t let that happen again.
