Fated to the Drakarn Commander

<p>Drakarn warrior deadly enforcer feared mentor and shield to the weak in a world of molten rock and razor-sharp wings this is what I am. I never waver...until she crashes into my fortress and demolishes every ironclad rule I've ever held.</p><p>Hawk is human: smaller than my kind yet braver than any warrior I've ever known. From the instant her scent sears my senses I know two truths: she is mine and I will break worlds to protect her.</p><p>But forging a bond with an alien female inflames ancient grudges and council politics-each side eager to shred our alliance before it blooms. And when enemy forces appear demanding human blood there are those in Scalvaris eager to give her up.</p><p>They call me ruthless for locking her in my private quarters for guarding her every step but she's too precious to lose.</p><p>Rival clans plot war temple priests preach doom and eagle-eyed enemies circle for the kill. I'll face them all-wings flared claws bared-to keep her safe.</p><p>A Drakarn's mate isn't a choice. She's fate. And a Drakarn warrior never surrenders what belongs to him.</p>
