Hidden Flame: Bound to the Triplet Dragon Kings

Chapter Ten: Dreams

Avery

After Conner left my room, I put on my pajamas. Am I glad that hecked an outline? Yes, because now I can finish it this week. I bet he picked it because of the name. I laugh inside. Pride before the fall, Conner. Pride before the fall.

I take out my chemistry book and look over the syllabus again. There are so many in–class experiments that we have to do. Not only does that mean that Cassius will have to help me complete them, be it means that I will have to touch him. Asher hates me especially if Cassius and I touch. Maybe it is because I slapped them once. I am still astonished I did that. I paid the price for being so bold, but what if there were no such consequences? I sigh because that is a silly notion. I believe that every action sometimes has an equal and opposite reaction but it always has a reaction. I take notes over the first three chapters before 1 put them aside.

Next, I open Mrs. Moore’s syllabus. It covers a dragon’s entire lifespan starting at the teenage years and culminating with estate planning. I sigh because I know Clint won’t be happy plus this might be my hardest assignment yet. I know, I will just tell him to imagine my face as another girl’s and I will put the face of one of the characters from my books on him. Being in a school filled with dragons and very few humans, we study dragon history and culture the most. So I have learned that once they mark their mate in both human and dragon form that bond is for life. They can’t choose or reject their mate either. Supposedly the mating bond consists of such strong magic rendering those under its spell helpless to resist. I don’t see how anything could be so powerful that it could control a dragon. But at least that is something that I will never have to worry about experiencing. I just have to worry if a boy will ever find me attractive. This won’t be an easy course for me to pass. I hope that Clint will be a partner and not make me do everything because if he does, we both might fail and failure isn’t an option.

I feel myself grow hungry as my stomach begins to growl. I should have fixed something for me when I made dinner for The Trio. I afide on my fuzzy bunny slippers and hop down to the kitchen. I use the servants‘ stairs because that will ensure me of not running into the guys. Also, there are many places within the palace that servants like me aren’t allowed to go. I fear dragons and their wrath even more. Once there, I make myself a salad and a small sandwich. I take a soda from the fridge and put it onto my tray. As I enter the long hallway leading to the sanctuary of my room, I hear raised voices coming from Cassius’s room. I also hear my name. 1 sigh because nothing good can come from that. I go into my room and lock the door. My door won’t keep them or their dragons out, but it will at least slow them down.
