She Is a Former Combat Slave, but the Person Who Saved Her Is Her Mate

No. 8 has lived her entire life as a combat slave. But one day, when she comes face-to-face with death, her memories of a past life suddenly return.

In that previous life… she apparently died.

The one who saves her is a dragonkin man named Celeste.

“C-Celeste… sir…”

He’s kind. Gentle. The kind of person she’s never known.

“I don’t want to do anything you don’t want…”

But then she learns something unbelievable: he’s her “mate” (tsugai)—the one fate has chosen for her.

A mate…? What does that even mean? Wait—husband and wife?!

If this is truly the god-ordained partner of destiny, what is she supposed to do?

This is the story of a former combat-slave girl and the devoted dragonkin young man who calls her his mate—two people slowly, carefully learning how to reach for each other.
