"Listen here you overgrown lizard! I don't know who or what you are exactly, but I do know that I am not your servant and I never will be. Next time you call me that I will make clothes out of your skin and maybe even a bag to hold the some of what I make out of you for food. Then sell the rest of you for money. Do you understand?" Raven sneers as she tightens her hold on the chain to prove her point, a sinister, deadly look still place upon her face.
Alarik roared in laughter at what she said, yanking his head back in full force, sending Raven flying towards the stone wall. Just as she was about to hit the wall a large, scaly tail wrap around her torso and brought her back to the ground in front of the creature.
{ A face that looks pure and innocent but eyes that tell a different story. She is perfect for something I have in mind.} Alarik thought to make a face that looks close to a smile.

When she finally gets the chance to be free, she takes it and runs into Alarik, A ruthless dragon shifter who has been trapped for a thousand years. He strikes up a deal with Raven to be free and to get revenge on the people who trapped him there. Revenge, betrayal, death, and love intertwine between the two on this thrilling, and adventurous story.

"Believe it or not but it hurts me every time I see tears in your eyes." His hands reach for my face, one more time and gently wipes the tears off my face. No matter what, the tears keep flowing down. "Please don't cry." He whispers. "You have someone out there just for you. Waiting for you." I whisper softly. A sad smile forms on my face that is now saltier than the ocean bed itself. I try to tug his hand off my face, but his hold is firm. He leans his head down and places it against mine. "I know." His whisper equally soft. "You need to let go. Just as I am." I close my eyes and take in the breeze of ocean that surrounds him and now me. I hear a deep growl just as his hold tighten on my face but it's still gentle.' For the little Raven that was born out the woods, life was only about the survival of fittest. Hunt or be hunted.
