Claimed by Fate

I don't believe in fate, but this dragon makes me burn ...I want to be a playwright, not a trophy husband to whatever powerful alpha my family chooses. And when they go too far, I can't take it any more. I'd rather be poor than their pawn. But when my past catches up to me, I do what I do best ... make something up.Mason Shanahan isn't my fiancé, but my family doesn't need to know that. A dragon as powerful as Mason shouldn't be happy to play along, and a part of me is worried that he's just as concerned with his status in society as my family. But if that's true, why does he kiss me like me means it? He says there's more than a fake relationship tying us together ... he says we're mates. No one believes in those stories anymore, myself included, but the more time I spend in Mason's arms, the more I find myself wondering ... are we really faking it? Or could it be fate?
