Yours Forever, Dragonfly.

Part 21

S

All traces of desire wither away as luke quickly gets off of me and tells me to hide in the closet, passing me his phone as he does so. I do as he says with reluctance, I do not want him to get hurt but at the same time I know he can handle himself. He points out a red button on his phone, "if I don't come back in five minutes I want you to press this button." I quickly nod my acknowledgement to his statement.

Not wanting him to go alone to face danger I insist that he take zeek with him. A sharp nod and luke is gone. Zeek is definitely a formidable opponent to intruders so I try to not be too worried about my boy.

Seconds turn into minutes and all the while I hear the grunts of pain. Pressing the button on the phone I quickly get a call from the ever so calm Mr. Blackbourne. "luke, report!"

In a shaky voice I tell him, "we went to my house for the night owen and someone broke my window! I'm in the closet but luke needs hel-" I am quickly cut off when the door opens and someone grabs me by the ankle, pulling me out of the closet.

Screaming, I try to shake the hand off but his grip is too strong. Pulling me all the way out I see a man wearing black jeans with a black v neck. Something very similar to what North or Raven would wear. The man is wearing a black ski mask so I am unable to see his face.

"Shut the fuck up and stand!" he growls out while pulling on one of my arms. Shaking in fear and adrenaline I quickly get up. He makes no move to grab me so I take off running into the living room and what I see stops me cold.

Luke is laying on the ground, blood coming from a cut on his eyebrow, he isn't moving and I can't tell if he is dead or not. Feeling like the world is caving in on me. I hear scratching and barking coming from the garage, I want to cry with relief to know he is still alive.

"The boy is still alive if that is what you are wondering but he wont be for long unless you listen to everything I say."

I look over to the speaker and see a man of tall stature. He is wearing a very nice business suit with a black ski mask covering his face although I can still the cruel glint in his ice blue eyes. Shivering in fear my eyes catch the metallic shine of a gun in his hand and I already know that my choice is made. Standing by and watching my sweet luke die is not an option.

My shoulders hunch in defeat I see the victory in his eyes, "what do you want from me?" anger lacing my tone. He walks into my space, his expensive cologne invading my senses. I try to retain all of as much information as I can about him. I feel the air shift and look at the man who grabbed me from before. I can feel my anger rising as he kicks luke and mutters out "academy scum."

"Don't fucking touch him!" I yell out, walking over to luke but the man with the suit speaks up. "Now now you hear S do not touch the young man. That is just rude." He says to the other man in a calm voice.

Turning to look at him sharply, "how do you know my name? and about the academy?"

"In all due time, beautiful. Now, let's get you into the car."

He nods to the other man who starts walking towards the door, blue eyes grabs me by the upper arm tightly and we follow after the other man out of the door. I hear a loud pop and the first man goes down. I'm in total shock. Red blood begins to seep into the concrete and I can't seem to move but the man pulls me by the arm down to the floor. Protecting me.

Why is his first thought my protection? He must need me alive but this just brings up a lot more questions. Shots are fired and I see Nathan from the corner of my eye. Noticing my captors distraction by the flying bullets I begin to maneuver myself away from him and to Nathan.

He notices and grabs at me but is stopped when a bullet hits his leg. Grunting in pain he begins to run away but I see the promise in his eyes as he looks back at me. He wont stop till he has me.

Nathan closes the distance and grabs me in a tight hug, "Peanut, are you ok? Any injuries?"

I stuttered out a no and I can feel the shakes wanting to overcome but I force them away until later. The need to check on Luke is too important, I push myself away to go inside and check on him. Nathan yells out for me in fear and I can feel him following me, turning back to him I tell him to get Sean and rush over to luke.

His beautiful blonde hair fanning around his face and I can feel tears streaming down my face. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to him or anyone else because of me. With my hand on his chest, I can feel the rise and fall of his chest, taking comfort in his steady breathing.

"Is he okay? He has to be alive. He's alive right?" I hear a broken voice and I can see north with his hands in his hair roughly pulling at the strands. For such a big guy, he has never looked so small as he does now and my heart breaks.

"He is going to be fine, north. He is breathing." I state in confidence and north exhales with relief. Coming up next to me he puts his hand on luke's shoulder. The rest of the guys rush in and I'm suddenly grabbed from behind by strong arms. I see that it is raven and he stuffs his face into my neck, "my woman, you scared me. are you okay?" before I can answer another set of arms encircle us and corey puts his face on the other side of my neck. Feeling extremely safe my body decides that it is time to freak out.

Shaking takes over my body and I have an overwhelming urge to sleep. My eyes close slowly and I can hear sean taking in Luke's vitals and deeming him perfectly okay.

"S, you're shaking are you okay?" I hear corey ask and I nodded weakly, "yeah, this always happens after a stressful situation."

Kota walks over to us and gives my forehead a quick peck, "you're safe now."

I hear axel in the background tell owen, "we need her to go over everything she saw before she can fall asleep and why the hell were they here alone?"

Stiffening up, I feel guilt want to take over but quickly squash it. I never made him come with me, that was his choice and he is old enough to make his own decisions. Feeling awful that this happened, it is hard not to feel as if this is all my fault.

Giving a quick kiss on the cheek to raven, I patted his chest to put me down. Doing so grudgingly he does and I walk over and let Zeek out, going down on the floor, I give him a hug and run my fingers through his thick fur comforting the both of us.

Getting up from the floor i sit on the couch and rest my eyes on axel's harsh stare. No compassion in his dark eyes i begin to tell my side of the story, starting from when luke found me trying to sneak out to right now. Throughout out my story all the men seem to get angrier and angrier. I tell them as much as I can about the man who seemed to be the leader of the two.

I tell them what the other man said about the academy and the all seem confused on how they would know about the elusive group. They also let me know that they tried to track the man from earlier but they lost him.

I feel terror at the thought of him coming back for me.

Hearing a commotion from where sean and luke are we run over to see luke thrashing trying to get away from sean. He is trying to calm down but it isn't working.

Luke catches sight of me and he seems to deflate, "thank God, you are okay."

I rushed over to him as he lays back down and i cup his face, "thank you for protecting me, luke" an unknown strong emotion lacing my tone

Laying down next to him, I feel another body lay down next to us and feel North hug Luke and I, with me in the middle. Feeling cherished and warm my body finally relaxes and I know that there is no other place I would rather be.
