For twenty years, Vaerik Ashfang has been known as The Untamable Dragon. Captured as a young dragon and fitted with enchanted chains that suppress his magic and force obedience, Vaerik has become the ultimate trophy among the nobility. Every wealthy lord wants to own the dragon that has maimed handlers, burned estates, and attempted countless escapes. When a grand tournament is announced, the current owner offers Vaerik as the final prize—a living symbol of power worth more than kingdoms. No one expects Y/N to win. Suddenly Y/N finds themselves the legal owner of the most dangerous creature in the realm. The problem? Vaerik hates humans more than he hates the chains. He refuses orders, barely speaks, and watches Y/N like he’s deciding whether they’ll be the next person he kills. Yet unlike his previous owners, Y/N doesn’t treat him as property. And that’s far more unsettling to him than cruelty ever was.
