Dragon's Wish

She can solve alien machines.

The warrior who wants her is the one mystery she is afraid to touch.

Addison has always trusted facts more than feelings.

On Tajss, that makes her useful. The city is full of broken alien technology, strange meteorite glass, unreadable writs, failing shields, and mysteries that could mean the difference between survival and extinction. Give her a lab, a problem, and enough time, and Addison can lose herself in the work.

Losing herself in Melchior is another matter entirely.

The bronze-scaled Zmaj warrior is supposed to be helping in the lab, carrying heavy equipment, escorting her through dangerous territory, and offering practical support while Addison tries to unlock the secrets buried in alien tech. Instead, he becomes the one distraction she cannot calculate her way around.

He is steady. Patient. Protective.

And he looks at her like she is something precious.

Addison tells herself they are friends. Lab partners. Allies. Anything safe enough to keep her heart out of the equation. But when a shared dream warns them that Tajss itself may be asking for help, the fragile line between science and fate begins to crack.

Their search for answers sends them from the city to the Tribe, then toward the suspicious mining settlement where a new ore may hold the key to the shields. Vanadium reacts to enemy technology. Meteorite glass sparks impossible visions. Invaders are closing in, and every discovery ties Addison and Melchior closer together.

Close enough to touch.

Close enough to want.

Close enough that resisting him starts to feel like lying.

Melchior knows Addison is his heart's wish, but he will not force her to choose him. Addison knows logic cannot explain the bond growing between them, but surrendering to it means trusting something she cannot measure, test, or control.

Then danger tears Melchior from her, and Addison learns exactly what her heart has been trying to tell her all along.

Some wishes are not solved.

They are claimed.
