Hidden Flame: Bound to the Triplet Dragon Kings

**Avery**

At first, being marked scared me because I am still coming to grips with what I am as well as everything that has

happened to me. Regina wants to remain hidden and I want her to as well because something doesn’t feel right. We

don’t resemble any of the dragons here or their humans. Maybe it is because of the Mother’s Mark on our upper inner

thigh or perhaps it is something else. All we know for sure is that The Trio are our mates.

I nod to the brothers to single to them that I am ready to mark them as mine. I hold up my index finger to my lips. I watch it turn into a metallic shimmering talon. I don’t know how long Regina can keep it looking this way without

revealing more of her rare coloration, so I kiss it before I start to blow on it. My breath becomes a teal flame as it wraps

around my talon. My eyes locked with Cassius first. As he smirked, he opened his dress shirt to reveal his toned bare

chest. I leaned up to kiss him as my talon ran down the length of his chest. Our moans filled the night air as my mark on

his chest nearest his heart began to glow. I pulled back to watch it fade. I kissed it before I turned to Clint where I

repeated what I had just done to Cassius.

Last was Conner who looked a bit nervous. Before I kissed him, I whispered, “Cassius told me that it wouldn’t hurt. It does

for a split second but that is it. Are you afraid like I was or is it something else? Do you not want to be mine?” I bit my lip

as I anxiously awaited his response.

He whispers as he opens his shirt, “It’s stupid. I was jealous. Of course, I want to be yours. Mark me, Avery.”

Grinning like an idiot, I kissed him and marked him. After the ceremony concluded, The Trio carried me off into the forest.
