Page 319 of Knot What I Expected

I’m right where I fucking started.

Alone.

A too-dominant Dragon with a beast that has never been satisfied by anything I give him.

Not wealth.

Not power.

Not land.

Not even this mountain.

And Dragons are supposed to be easy creatures to understand.

We acquire.

We protect.

We hoard.

Treasure.

For years, I believed that was why I bought this place.

Thousands of acres of wilderness. Mountains and forests. Rivers and valleys. More land than any one male could possibly need.

Mine.

My territory.

My treasure.

It should have been enough.

It isn’t.

It never fucking was.

My Dragon has always known that.

Lately, the bastard has become impossible to ignore.

Because now there are people on my mountain who matter to me.

Wreck.

Gia.

Their unborn cub.

Havoc.

Gabriella.

Matteo.

I tell myself they’re my crew.
