Hidden Flame: Bound to the Triplet Dragon Kings

After my shopping trip and my debut as a model, we returned to the palace. I mixed articles of clothing that each of them had selected because I didn't want to cause conflict. I still have no clue how this will work. "Avery, we are dragons. We need to trust our instincts," Regina says in mind. I know that she is likely right, but I still feel tension. A conflict is brewing, I just know it. I don't think it is just because the Hoity Hags are still on the loose either. This goes deeper, maybe into a past life if such things are possible.

Cassius knocks on my new door, "Avery, we need your help with breakfast unless you want to put out a fire." He hears my laughter and comes in. He stops, "Wow! You look amazing, babe." I blush as I bite my lip. He chuckles as he scoopsup and kisses the top of my head. "Adorable, just adorable. Now my queen, let's get down to the kitchen." Instead of taking the stairs, he leaps out of my open window to the courtyard below. He carriesthrough the service entrance straight into the kitchen. There's flour everywhere.

I giggle, "Did any make it into the bowl?" Clint looks atin Cassius' arms and I see a bit of anger in his eyes. "Carter isn't upset, Avery. Clint is. I thought he had shared before. These are his brothers and not strangers. Avery, I think he may have started liking you before the mate bond happened," Regina tells me. I motioned for Cassius to putdown and I noticed Clint's fury abate. I talk to Regina, "I need you to communicate with their dragons. I won't have a war between them because of me." She hums her response so I know that she will.

After I helped them make breakfast, we all rode to school together. They also informedthat at least one of them would be by my side all day for the rest of the school year. This is going to take a lot of getting used to. I can barely accept my new appearance and that I am a dragon, let alone have mates and not fear the things I once hated. Conner holds the doors as I walk in with The Tbehind me. Everyone goes quiet and stares.

Cassius puts his hand around my waist and pullsto him as his brothers flank us. He roars, "We have found our mate.

If you touch her, prepare to pay with your life!" His lips crash to mine as Clint and Conner kiss my neck. I freeze because I have never been kissed before. I feel Regina nudgeto put one hand on Clint's jaw and one on Conner's as she haspart my lips. How does she know what to do? But at the moment, I am thankful for her guidance. I make a mental note that I need to talk to Trisha about all of this and maybe do more reading and watch sporn, because even though it felt good it still felt alien.

True to their word, they were withall day. We sat together at lunch too. I could overhear the cheerleaders callingnames and saying how I must have bewitched The Trio. I didn't do anything. I never asked for any of this! Conner takes my hand, "Avery, ignore them. They're just jealous. They don't matter, but you do. Soon you will officially be their Luna and they will have no choice but to bow." He placed a soft and sweet kiss on my lips before he pulled back to say, "Like I should have done when we were younger. I am sorry for everything, but you can still killin our play." I blush and bite my lip, "I can change it." He looks at me, "Don't, because I deserve it. It was a lesson that I needed to learn. Avery, I have so much to make up for, we all do." Cassius took my hand and walkedto the chemistry class that we had together. We passed Jessica who was wearing his Letterman jacket. "Cassius, shouldn't you get that from her?" He stops and looks at me. "Does my mate wantto?" I chew my lip for a moment which allows Regina to surge forward. "Yes," I growled but it cout in Regina's tone.

He chuckled in a mix of his and Asher's tone, "Your eyes are beautiful, Regina. Your possessiveness is fucking hot too." He kissesbefore he placesin the doorway of Mr. Chen's classroom. He strides over to Jessica and roars, "You don't deserve this." He turns his hand into a claw and shreds the jacket off of her. He glares at her as he points his claw right between her eyes, "You would have never been queen. You were just an easy pussy until I found the only one that I will ever crave. Touch what is mine again, and I will kill you myself!" All of the girls gasped and hurried to their classes while the Hags tried to comfort their fallen leader. Overcwith passion, I pulled Cassius into a kiss. We hear a throat clear. "When I told you to treat your subjugates better, this isn't what I meant, Cassius," Mr. Chen said.

Cassius spunto face our teacher. "Avery isn't my subjugate. My little mate is your future Luna.” Mr. Chen smiled, “I will assist June and Anton in the preparations for Avery's Grand Ceremony. Should I prepare the potion for the announcement ceremony as well?"

Enjoying the book? Don't forget to visit 5sfor the full om experience. You won't find the next chapter anywhere else. Happy reading! Cassius grins, "Yes, but make it for four and not two." "Four?" Confused, Mr. Chen asked.

Cassius nodded, "Yes, four because she is all my brothers' mate too." "Oh," he gasped. "This is unprecedented." Cassius kissed the top of my head as he explained, "Avery has a dragon and the kingdom will meet her when we mark her. You all will see and understand then." Mr. Chen nodded as the other students made their way into the classroom. The rest of the day went by smoothly.

I had to

sit where The Tcould seeduring their football practice after school. know nothing about the sport, but it looks

like I will now. But I will say that seeing The Tsweaty and shirtless is definitely a perk and serves as my En motivation to learn all that I can about football.
