"All my mistakes are slowly drowning me."

"You were told that I could handle this. I'm a Dragon King, I can handle this. What I can't handle is you being out here, worrying me, and now I can't focus on this damn mission!"

Kyvian's enemies from her country have been coming after her, for quite some time. They have leads on where the leader is and where the hideout is. Dawson has a team to scout and go after this man, who is going after his fiancée.

Dawson gave her clear instructions: Do not leave this castle until I come back. I will be back with your favorite soup from the market and we'll have dinner together; if you let me do what I do best, protect the people I care about.

That confession alone had knocked the air out of her chest. Taking care of him after his fever was a week ago, and it was like he was a new person. She didn't know what to think. Had he finally started to care for her? The way she cared for him, especially after the festival they went to, a month ago. Time sure did fly.

Did Kyvian listen though? No, she did not. She was hiding in the shadows. That was until she had a knife against her back and being pinned up against the tree; only it wasn't a warrior, it was her fiancé.
