Hidden Flame: Bound to the Triplet Dragon Kings

Clint**

This place is incredibly creepy. It is haunted and in my opinion the whole complex needs bulldozed and the area

cleansed. I have seen so many unfortunate things befall humans and supernaturals alike. I am convinced that this place

could convert the strongest non-believer. Why in the fuck would Tim want to meet here? Is that fucker a warlock? After what all we both saw and heard the day we proposed to Avery, I want to imprison and interrogate any magic user. I trust

no one other than Avery, my brothers, and now Draven.

The further into the place we walk, the more uneasy I feel. Then I caught Lenore’s scent. That bitch is behind Avery’s

disappearance and if she hurt one hair on Avery’s head, I will rip her heart out myself! I rushed ahead with my brother

and Draven calling after me. I entered a room to find a bloody and unconscious Tim who was both bound and gagged.

He was alive, so I focused on finding my mate and my brother. As I was about to enter an eerie stairwell, they caught up

to me. We all covered our noses because all we could smell was sulfur, death, and decay.

I fell to my knees when I saw my brother dead in a pool of blood with Avery lying on top of him with two blades sticking

out of her back. “We have to help them,” Draven tried.

I looked up at him with tears streaming down my face and Conner weeping beside me. “We can’t. They’re dead. Our mate and our brother are dead.”

At that moment three ravens flew in and landed on the railing near the bodies. I stood up to swat them away, but Draven

stopped me. “They are here for three souls, not two,” he said.

“They can take me then.”
