Bloodsworn to the Dragon Alpha: He’s been running from her for two years. She just got paid to find him (The Ashpeak Alphas Book 2)

I was hired to capture the rogue dragon. Track him, take him alive, walk away rich.
Simple job. I don’t take simple jobs anymore.
Because when I finally corner him in a dead-end shaft with one way out, he doesn’t run and he doesn’t fight. He says my name like he’s been saying it for years. He knows my history. He names a scar I’ve never shown a living soul.
He says I’m his mate. That he’s known for two years. That he’s been keeping me alive from the shadows because he doesn’t believe he deserves to do it from any closer.
I should put a bolt in him and collect my fee.
But the people who hired me don’t want him caught. They want us both — and they’ve already spent more blood than my contract is worth to be sure of it.
Raith is exile and recklessness and the most dangerous thing I’ve ever tracked. He’s also the only person who has ever put himself between me and harm without asking for anything in return.
I’ve survived my whole life by needing no one.
He’s about to cost me everything I built on that.
And I’m starting to think he’s worth it.
