The Dragon's Bond

LachlanI was supposed to be a brutal and ruthless ruler of my dragon shifter clan, but I've defied the odds to become a calm male who thinks before he acts. I rule my small town fairly, without the bloodshed. The only time I acted with the same selfishness of my parents was when I selected my mate. And for the last four years, I've worried I ruined her life. I want to do better, but I don't know how, and if I don't figure it out, she'll be gone.IndyI know Lachlan didn't grow up like me. He didn't have a loving, supportive, and completely smothering family to dote on him. But when he announced he wanted me to be his, I was elated. I had high hopes. And then we just...existed together. A female dragon shifter is rarely short of pride, but if Lachlan doesn't talk to me, I can't picture a second chance for us. And when someone tries to kills me, I worry we won't be able to try.
