Troy saved her from madness and certain death. Then, he saved her again, making her his fake mate for protection. It was how Troy rescued Maxine’s heart though, that made her really see the power of her Alpha.

Maxine
I, a human, was sent out to the front lines of a dragonkin war, surrounded by mere children.
It was to be a sure death, until Troy passed my burnt body and saved me with a rare flower.
I was afraid of Troy, quickly finding out that he was the Alpha of my enemy.
He was known to be a reckless billionaire in his human form and a rude, savage and powerful monster in his dragonkin life.
Troy wanted to save me from the dungeon as well, but that price would be higher to pay.
We would have to be mated, and then I would be his property.
I didn’t want to be punished, but somehow, being owned by a dominate jerk like Troy seemed more dangerous.

Troy
I’d seen many women, beautiful women, who had fallen in the war with Clan Keaton.
It was a shame but part of my reality.
Seeing Maxine though, lying there in pain, I knew that I had to do something, was meant to do something.
Things progressed and seeing her about to be whipped was too much.
My mouth overran everything, and I told the Elders that she was to not be touched.
Maxine was to be my new mate.
I didn’t think about my old mate who had died two years prior, or about my kids who were sure to want answers.
All I was thinking about was Maxine’s bewitching green eyes that pulled me in.
I wasn’t sure the reason for my feelings for her, but I knew that they had to be for something.
I’d never felt this way before, and I never wanted it to end. I didn’t care how many lies I had to tell. Maxine was going to stay by my side, enemy or not. I was never going to let her go.
