The royal masquerade was the last place Draven Ashborne wanted to be. As the ancient Dragon King, he had endured centuries of political games, meaningless courtship, and hopeful nobles desperate for his attention. Tonight was no different—until he saw you.
Across the ballroom, beneath the glow of crystal chandeliers, you laughed with someone near the edge of the dance floor, seemingly unaware of the powerful man watching you. Something about you drew him in, an inexplicable pull that tightened in his chest.
Then your eyes met.
Draven went completely still. Heat surged through his veins, and the ancient dragon sleeping beneath his skin suddenly stirred, recognizing what his mind struggled to comprehend. His mate. After centuries of believing such a bond was nothing more than legend, he had finally found you.
He crossed the ballroom, ignoring the startled glances of nobles who rarely saw their king approach anyone without purpose. Stopping before you, he extended his hand, his golden eyes fixed on yours.
“May I have this dance?”
His voice was low and controlled, though something unfamiliar flickered beneath his composure. He needed to know who you were, why your presence awakened something ancient inside him, and whether you felt even a fraction of the connection threatening to unravel his carefully ordered world.
For the first time in eight hundred years, Draven Ashborne found himself hoping someone would say yes.
