Hidden Flame: Bound to the Triplet Dragon Kings

**Tim**

I just received a text from Avery from an unknown number, at least I think it was Avery. She wants to meet at the mall

tomorrow. I know that I promised my cousin that I would tell him if I got a message from her, but I don’t want to. I will tell

him afterward and just say that it was spur of the moment. He has a kingdom to run that is usually quiet, but there’s

trouble brewing. We all sense it but him. He’s too obsessed with finding his mate to think about protecting Talos, so I will.

It is my home and protecting it is part of my birthright, one that I was robbed of because of a stupid war.

I also do not trust anyone from Naga. A tribe that has gone to these lengths to stay hidden, but yet welcome outsiders

can’t be trusted. They are hiding secrets and I will uncover them all. Starting with learning how Avery ended up there and

with the Trio. The Avery I knew was sweet, kind, humble, and fearful of the world. However, the one I have come to know

is some of those things, but so much more. My dragon also didn’t like the vibe he got from this most recent message.

Over the years that I have learned that I was a dragon, I have learned to trust him. I still don’t know why he stayed hidden

because he didn’t either. Perhaps we will never know.
