Hidden Flame: Bound to the Triplet Dragon Kings

As the music began to pulse, my mates swayed to its undulating beat. | was in the center of their gyrations,

masked from

the eyes of the staff and any other bystanders. Conner moved my hair and began to lick and suck my neck as

Clint kissed

me. Cassius pulled up the front of my skirt so that he could slide his hand under it. His right hand cupped my

mound as

his fingers teased my slit.

My wetness grew and | moved my covered slit along his fingers. When he moved my panties to the side, my

head fell

back. Clint bit my exposed neck as Conner kissed me. | moaned the moment Cassius slid a finger inside of me.

He

chuckled at how undone he and his brothers were makingas he pumped his fingers to the beat. | leaned

back on

Conner as he grabbed my ass. Clint kissedto stifle my moans and when his finger found my clit, | rocked my

pussy

towards Cassius. Clint bit my ear and whispered, “Cum for us.” My knees went weak as | exploded onto their

fingers.

Conner pulledagainst his erection as his arms keptfrom falling. If we were alone somewhere, | would

allow them

to do anything tothey wanted.

As the song ended and | floated down from the heaven that they just tookto, we sought out some

refreshments and

our friends. | giggled as | saw them sitting quietly together with Draven in the middle. | sat on his knee. “After

tonight, |

will introduce the real you to the tribe. Thanks to The Ravens, we know who helped The Hoity Hags and it doesn’t

matter

if any saw those images either because my Ravens wiped everyone’s memories of tonight except for ours.”

| kissed Draven’s cheek before | walked over to Tim. He looks at me, “I feel strange.”

| take his hand. “Describe it.”

He sighs. “It is similar to the pull that | feel towards you. It is how | knew that | loved you. But this feels

different...

stronger somehow. It can’t be the mating bond because | won't be eighteen until Christmas,” he explains.

| pull him up and walk over to Trisha. | take her hand. | feel that heated power course throughso | joined their

hands.

| watched their pupils dilate in recognition. | kiss each of their cheeks as | say, “I bless this bond. Tim, you may

give her a

temporary mark and when she becomes eighteen you both can mark each other permanently.”

Trisha gasps, “But Avery, only The Goddess can do that.”

| winked. “Yes, she can and she just did.”

Draven laughed. “I love this family!”

| took Draven’s hand. “I love it too and | know where your mate is. We will meet them soon.”

**Draven**

| cannot believe how my luck has changed since | met Avery. She's a lucky charm. To top it off, she just told me

that she

knows where my mate is. She seemed incredibly happy about it too. | wonder if she saw her? | won't ask

because | want it

to be a surprise. | want to feel that intoxicating pull when | first gaze into her eyes.

| am also glad that Avery isn’t going to make everyone wait until their Grand Ceremony. | wonder what caused

that

change. She will tellwhen she’s ready to. Until then, | will try to enjoy prom. Unlike others here, | have no

clue how to

behave or dance. After we enjoyed our refreshments, Avery pulledto the dance floor. “Con, they're

playing

songs | know!” she beams as she drags me. “Stop looking like | am dragging you to your own funeral,” she says.

That's

just how it feels though. | don’t belong here.

Avery starts moving to the beat as | stand there. She comes over and puts her hands on my hips. “Watch my

eyes,” she

commands. | instinctively do. Before long she hasmoving in tto the music as the others join us. She

kisses my

cheek, “Just be free.” She is right because for the first tin so long, | feel free. There's no pressure or heavy

cloud

looming overhead. Even though | am not a teenager, | can at least act like one for tonight.

**Trisha**

| knew that Avery was special before she becour queen. | helped give The Tideas for their proposals too.

Since

becoming Naga’s Queen, Avery has grown more confident. Will | gain confidence once mated too? Since Avery

joined

Tim and I's hands, he hasn't let go. My parents might not be okay withbeing marked, even temporarily, but

Avery can

convince them.

| need to ask Avery something, so | dance close to her. From behind, Tim puts his hands around my waist. | bite

my lip as

Avery giggles. “This will take getting used to.”

She puts her hand on my shoulder, “Don’t worry because | will help you as you did me. That's what best friends

do!”

“About that, you aren’t wearing the dress | helped you into and your hair is different. Did you not like how | styled

you?”

She takes my hand and pullsto the corner of the room. The guys all crowd around us. | started to feel

worried.

“Trisha, the Hags tried to killagain. They were sof the rats. They're gone now and won't be back.”

“They know you are our Queen and marked too. Why did they still try?”

She sighs. “They were told that if they killed me, one of them would becNaga’s Queen and they other two

would be

given royal mates in other tribes. They wanted status and power at any cost.”

“I always hated them. | am glad that they are gone. | like this dress better too. Can you takewhere you got it

so | can

look?”

Avery blushes. “It was a gift from sspecial friends who | will see again. But they did showa cool trick

before they

removed the rats. Do you want to see?”

“Of course | do. Show me!” She touched my suprasternal notch, the divit at the bottom of my neck where it

meets my

sternum, and a beautiful silver necklace with blue and purple gems appeared. “It's exquisite, but | can’t.”

“You can because you will be royalty too,” she hums softly.

But how? | look at Tim who is still holding my hand. “Who are you besides my future mate?”

He bows as he kisses the top of my hand. Tingling electrified goosebumps coated my skin. He smiled, “I am Tim

Balans of

Talos, Beta to the King Of Kings who is my cousin.” He kisses my hand again before he gives it a squeeze. “It will

be fine.

You can cwhen Avery comes to claim her throne.”

“She already has one.”

He laughs and | am lulled into him as a soft lullaby lulls a baby to sleep. “Your best friend and mine is the Queen

Of

Queens.” Oh, my goddess! Avery is the queen dragons have been waiting for. The Goddess has truly blessed us

and |

couldn’t be prouder or happier to call my best friend Queen Of Queens! All hail Avery!
