Hidden Flame: Bound to the Triplet Dragon Kings

**Avery**

Draven thinks that being stuck in this town without a mate is hell. I never thought I had a mate. I thought I was a lowly

human devoid of everything. At least he had magic, I didn’t even have that. Yes, there is something dark and wrong about

this town and there must be a reason none except for dragons can escape here. But that gave him no right to steal a

dragon. Could reliving my life kill him? Perhaps, but at least he will see and feel what it is like to truly suffer.

Draven fell to the ground crying. He took in a few sobering breaths as he wiped away his tears. As he sat back on his

heels, his eyes met mine. I could see and feel the change in him. “Mother or not, you didn’t deserve that. I will take a life

Cassius turned his hand into Asher’s red paw and went to strike Draven. I reached out and grabbed his wrist. I pulled him

to face me. “Do not touch him! After I told you everything, you let them remain in Naga. You did nothing! I don’t care

that you regret it, you still did nothing! Now, now I am going to do something.” I turn to look at Draven as I put my

taloned hand on his shoulder, “And you are going to help!”
