Hidden Flame: Bound to the Triplet Dragon Kings

**Avery**

It is now Friday, the day of the Trio’s Grand Ceremony. All classes have been canceled in honor of tonight’s event. It isn’t

every day that a tribe’s future king has his ceremony. Before the official part of the ceremony, there is a small party. Then

once the hour strikes of the triplets’ birth they are announced in their birth order and from that moment on can scent

their mates.

The Trio ordered the maids to bring me a stack of dresses to try on. It was so exhausting that I took a nap. I don’t

understand how some women do it but it does give new meaning to the phrase ‘shop until you drop.’ And drop I did, I

laughed. I tried to talk my way out of attending too, but I was told that everyone in the tribe must be there. Some of the

traditions that dragons have are very annoying and this is one of them. This ceremony should be optional like prom is,

which I plan to skip again this year.

The Trio had the kitchen staff bring food to my room. I am starting to feel like a bird in a gilded cage. It is nearing

nightfall and I am growing restless, so I put on a shimmering blue gown with matching heels that had silver jeweled

straps. I hate to think how much this outfit cost. It was likely a month’s worth of my pay. Tomorrow, I will insist that The

Trio return all of this and recoup some of their money. I pin up my hair and allow strands to dangle around my face which

I curl. I put on light makeup that they bought me and added the lip gloss that Trisha gave me.

I went to the building outside of the palace where the party and ceremony will be held. I busy myself, helping the staff

with their final preparations. They tried to prevent me from helping, insisting that I was a guest tonight, but I couldn’t

stand by and do nothing. Once everything was ready, I found my seat. It was at the table with The Trio. I don’t feel like I
