Hidden Flame: Bound to the Triplet Dragon Kings

I offered Cassius a quick smile before I turned back to a stunned Draven. “Come!” I commanded. Robotically he walked to

us as we were standing beside Cassius’s car. I wonder why I have this effect on him. Regina spoke in my mind, “I think

one of our tribe members is in him. But I will say that using my big girl voice feels really good.” I giggle inside because it

does feel good to not cower. In fact, it feels damn good.

In addition to my newfound confidence, I feel something else, this dark fire that begins to spark and burn. As the heat

rises so does my anger. My mates surround Draven, preventing his escape. Could he use magic? Yes, but that requires

chanting and his coven based on the ritual I had witnessed. “You took something you had no right to,” I growled.

“What are you talking about? Who are you people?” Draven asks.

Cassius takes a step closer to Draven. His glare intensifies, “You know exactly who we are.” His head turned to me before

he looked back to Draven, “Now meet our queen.”

To pull him close to me, I reached for Draven but in doing so I caught a whiff of some familiar scents. At first, I thought

that it was just perfume so I took another whiff. My nose crinkled as I spat, “The Hoity Hags! He reeks of them.”

To my surprise, Conner grabbed Draven by his throat and lifted him in the air. “Tell us what you had those bitches do and

dragons may not eat you.” My, oh my! It appears that my Mr.
