Hidden Flame: Bound to the Triplet Dragon Kings

**Draven**

I think we managed to avoid the worst, but not without a price. Avery took in a good amount of darkness as did Cassius.

addicting as you chase that high again and again. Now that I am free from the dark stranglehold that Blackbriar once had

over me, I want to keep my new family from ever experiencing it. I will stay close to all of them, including Trisha now.

Draco triplets were dragons and that they would only consort with other dragons. Did he think that they would breach

the treaty and claim a human? If that is his reasoning, then I fear that Talos has been compromised too.
