Kira stared at the cell in front of her, the man who would be her first permanent assignment.

He was the newest dragon-fae hybrid, and it was her first time meeting him.

His eyes were an intense yellow-green, peering at her hollowly as he sat by himself in the corner of a glassed-off cell that was magically sealed so he couldn’t escape.

How long had he been there before she’d arrived?

“I’m Kira,” she said, walking up to the glass wall.

He looked up at her, long, dark hair falling over and around his face. “So you’re the newest sadist assigned to my case?”

She was surprised by his eyes when they met hers defiantly. By the strength in them despite what he’d gone through.

“No. I’m here to help with your chaos injections.”

His expression darkened, making his handsome face cold. “Ah, too late. You just missed them.”

“No,” she said. “I mean I’m here to help you deal with the aftereffects.”

His eyes widened in surprise, just barely, and then narrowed in suspicion. “What? Why would the fae help anyone?”

“I convinced them that it’s better if we don’t let shifters suffer.”

“Right,” Ryder said. “Condescension to a dragon.”

She shook her head. “No. Let me show you. Can I come in?”

He sighed. “Seriously? You’re a brave one. The other scientists just zap me through a hole and work on me while I can’t move.” His eyes met hers, intense. “You aren’t scared?”

And despite what she’d heard about him, despite what she’d read was in him, no, she wasn’t.

And she could sense, behind the defiant look in his eyes, pain and despair that she needed to heal.

“I’m coming in.”

She hit a button and put her hand on a glass panel. A door opened in front of her, and she slid through it. It closed immediately behind her.

Ryder pushed himself off the ground and walked over to sit on his cot, rolling up a sleeve. “I’m guessing you have to give me a shot or something?”

She shook her head. “Not at all. Just give me your hand.”

His cheekbones flushed, and his entire body went rigid. “What do you mean?”

Her heart ached at the thought that he hadn’t been touched kindly before. She slid a hand over his, and he startled, then relaxed.

Then she let her magic flow into him.

Slowly, as pink warmth filled the room, his pallid skin regained its life again. The chaos in the air began to fade. The tension left his face, and he turned to smile at her.

And she felt her heart skip a beat as it never had when she’d helped anyone else.

“You made it feel better,” he said, still looking like the sky had turned green just because a fae had helped him.

“I will continue to do so,” she said. “I’m assigned to you from now on.”

He cocked his head. “So I’m still going to be tortured and experimented on, but I’ll have you to help me.”

She nodded, biting her lip. She’d learned a long time ago that there was no way she could free any experiments.
