Her partner.

Her mate.

Whatever future she wants, I will build it for her.

Because there is nothing—nothing—more important to me than seeing Sunny Adlawan shine.

Epilogue 1

DRAGON & MATE

Sunny Adlawan

The lights blaze like stardust,casting a soft, golden glow over the stage.

Hundreds of eyes are on us, the crowd silent with anticipation.

I stand tall, dressed in my warrior-princess armor, my cape flowing behind me, golden embroidery catching the light.

And beside me?—

Khanner.

My dragon knight.

His dark tunic and plated armor gleam, his golden eyes locked on mine, unwavering.

The announcer’s voice booms through the arena.

“Before the gods, before the kingdom, before the very stars that light our skies—do you swear your vows?”

A shiver runs down my spine.

I know this is a performance.

A carefully orchestrated, romantasy-themed event.

But Khanner isn’t acting.

His fingers tighten around mine, his voice steady, deep, and reverent.

“I swear.”

His words resonate through me, a vow that feels far more real than it should.

The announcer turns to me, eyes bright with theatrical drama.

“And you, my lady? Do you take this knight as your sworn protector, your fate-bound soul, your mate?”

I should be playing my role.

I should be reciting my scripted lines.

But as I look into Khanner’s eyes, something inside me shifts.

I don’t want to play a role.

I want this to be real.
