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.

It could shift things as powers emerge. I know how tempting the power of darkness is. Its seductive nature becomes

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.

Tim hid the fact that he was a dragon. Unlike Avery, he purposely kept his hidden. Why? He had to have known that the

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.

It has now been a few months since prom. Noone misses the Hags and the few others that met their ends. We have all

fallen into a normal routine too. Draven no longer needs to pretend to be someone else. We formally announced him as

new staff at the palace. My mates want to hire more kitchen staff too because they think I cook too much, but I love it so

I keep telling them not to add any.

Since I now have a huge family, I want us to have a big dinner for Thanksgiving. My adopted parents will be coming too. I

am so excited and have been cooking for days now too. I want it to be as close to perfection as it can be! I remember a
