Yours Forever, Dragonfly.

Part 25

Luke

It has been three days since S and Axel were taken from us and we are still not close to finding them. Tempers are high and many of us have been getting into arguments.

Stepping outside onto the balcony to get away from Kota and Victor bickering at each other, I look out at the moon light covered garden. It's a cold night out and I hope that it will help clear my thoughts. The stress hasn't been the best for me, mentally or physically. The guys haven't noticed my lack of appetite, they don't need to worry about me.

I breathe in through my nose and out of my mouth to try and calm my emotions down but I fear I am not too successful.

It takes all I have to not dwell on what could be happening to my two missing family members. Are they okay? Are they losing hope that we will ever find them?

The sound of the door behind me opening takes me away from my unhappy thoughts but I do not turn around.

A hand lands on my shoulder and the gruff voice of my brother shatters the silence of the night, "we will find them, brother."

I have no doubt that we will find them again. That is not what I'm afraid of. I fear that by the time we get there that it will be too late, what if they have been through too much pain at that point.

I don't voice my thoughts, knowing that North would not take it well. He puts up a rough front but I know that he blames himself for not being able to protect them. He's foolish to think that he could have prevented it, he's not all knowing, but that's just the way he thinks.

"I know, North. We will have them home safely soon."

Grunting in agreement we just stand there for a moment, not saying anything, just enjoying each others company.

Getting lost in my head, my thoughts start straying to S, as they often do. With her beautiful hair and shining smile but it goes deeper than that. Her soul has got to be the best thing about her. I know I haven't known her long but she just brightens up any room with her enchanting personality.

Turning my head to look at my brother I ask him, "how do you feel about S?" Bracing myself for this complicated conversation.

He roughly puts his hands in his hair leaning against the rail, "fuck, she has me all tied up in knots. The first time I saw her I was struck by her and this overwhelming need to protect her. I've never felt anything like it." Sharply exhaling he finishes, "I care about her."

Looking at my brother I know this is hard for him, he never lets anyone in. He means so much to me and I don't want to hurt him but he has to see how much we all care for her. Not just me but the rest of our team, the way they all look at her. You'd have to be blind or in denial not to see it.

"Me too brother. Me too."

He turns to look at me with frustration in his eyes, "this isn't going to go well with the rest of the family. She is only one girl. We are a group of alpha idiot men. How the fuck could she handle us?"

I know what he means and I was thinking the same thing but then I ponder back to everything she's been through. How can we be sure of what she can handle? I know one thing though, I sure do want to find out.

"You never know North. She may just surprise us."

Meanwhile in the dungeon of doom and despair...

Axel

We have been here for who knows how long and I'm not sure whether they are trying to beat us to death or if we are supposed to die of boredom.

I'm sitting in the corner with my back leaning against the wall, my hair is oily and I know I smell horribly. Looking over I see sitting down making some sort of structure with rocks and dirt.

"What is that?" I wonder out loud not because I actually care but because I am so fucking restless.

"A giraffe." She says simply, not even nothing to look up at me

My eyebrows bunch up in confusion "S, that looks like shit."

Tilting her head to the side while squinting her eyes a bit  she then looks up at me with a pout "It's abstract." Then trashes it, I guess she knew how crappy it looked.

Thirty minutes later..

S crawls over slowly to me, taking care of her wounds she groans, "I'm so bored!"

"Wanna make out?" I ask with a creepy grin just to amuse myself

"Yes."

Raising an eyebrow at her and smirking I question her "Seriously?"

"No." She states while rolling her eyes at me

Two hours later later...

The creaking of the door being opened slowly rouses me from my nap. Sleeping is the only thing we can do while in this shit hole. I think the only good thing to come out of this is my relationship with S. When you're stuck with someone in a cell, not knowing whether you're going to die or not, you really get to know that person. How they react to certain situations.

S has to be one of the most genuine people I have ever met. Not to say that I still don't have some reservations about her but I can see why she has all my brothers panting for her.

The blue eyed asswipe walks in looking smug and my teeth grind in agitation. Can't wait till I get out of here so I can kick his ass.

"Hello! How's everyone doing today?" He asks with a smile, no care in the world. The dickhead.

I sense movement and see S looking tired, "can we get this over with?" Her voice still rough with sleep.

"Very well, I see everyone is in a foul mood today." He says while getting the cell keys from his suit jacket. Why the fuck is he always so dressed up? Does he sleep in that penguin suit? Owen would probably do that if we wouldn't give him shit about it.

He's interrupted by the door opening, "Jay, sweetheart. You down here?" A girl voice rings out.

"Im here." He says with a frustrated sigh.

In walks someone I never thought I'd see again and I can feel the rage sink into my bones. I've never been so angry in my life.

Her brown hair shines, the small red dress as tight as it can be accentuates her curvy body. She runs up to the asshole and plants a huge kiss on his mouth.

Jay wraps his arms around her body and asks "Marie, what can I help you with?"

Before she answers I cut her off, "Kayli, what the fuck are you doing here?"

She turns to me with a stupid ass smirk on her face, "didn't you hear? That's not my name anymore."
