The Dragon Brothers
Chapter 64 - SOS

Cyprian POV

"You may not live like a man but you could at least fight like one." I told Marduke as he regained his footing. He starts laughing maniacally as we circle each other with our swords drawn.

Lord Marduke absolutely disgusts me. He's a rapist, an abuser, and a sorry excuse for a man. Let's see if he can at least fight and die like a real man or if he's going to wimp out like the bitch I know he is. Our swords clash a few times before I knock his sword from his hands and then I stab him in his gut. As he falls to his knees I slice off his head. That's the end of Marduke. I was tired from battle and walked to the edge of the cave and climbed down to the beach below. Gabe had healed Molle, Wolf, and Quentin from their injuries. We had one woman and two men as captives. I shed my amour as I walked over to Molle and put my arms around her to hold her close. I picked her up and just held her tiny from tight to my chest thankful to have her alive. I shifted to my dragon form and she climbed on top of my back and Gabe, Lucian, Wolf, Quentin, Lord Drakon and I all flew back to Drakor as dragons. We allowed the captives to be led back by the general of the empire's royal army. Instead of fighting he had stayed on the ground to protect Gabe.

When we get back to Drakor I take Molle immediately to our bedroom and lay her on our bed and I lay down next to her. Molle has slowly become my whole world. She's the reason why I went to battle against Maeve if it weren't for her it wouldn't have mattered that much. But I had to keep her safe and I knew Maeve would use her to get to me. As much as I like being around my brothers I'm looking forward to taking Molle home where we can be together without interruptions. I know that eventually we're going to have to talk about what happened while she was in Maeve's dungeons and then when Marduke raped her. I shook my head as it seemed like two more traumas to add to her long list of compounding traumas throughout her life. It seemed like she couldn't process one trauma before another trauma hit her and that's how her whole life has been. But now it was my job to protect her and I will die before I let someone hurt her again.

I need to be near Molle right now as I feel weary from worrying about her so I hold her against my chest and place my face in the crook of her neck where I can smell her scent. She lets out a soft and satisfied moan of contentment. I'm so glad to have her back in my arms that I'm sure for the next few days I won't let her out of my sight. We both fall asleep wrapt in each other's arms. Emily POV

While the men were gone I did something horrible. I broke a mirror and took a piece of broken glass and made huge cuts all over my arm, nothing too deep but I still had to be wrapped in bandages. The bandages are gone now but the cuts remain some of them may even scar. Wolf is back now and I'm dressed in a long sleeve dress to hide the cuts. But when I change into my nightgown he'll see the cuts. I just wanted the pain to stop and go away. Viola said she understood and that she went through something similar after her last miscarriage. I just can't get the image of those men out of my mind.

Wolf is here, he just walked in, I'm trying to be happy that he's home but I'm more scared that he's back than anything. He's all smiles, laughing, and wanting to tell me about the battle. Some lady stabbed him in the back then he had to turn around and punch her to knock her out so she's one of their captives. He's taking off his clothes to get ready for bed so I guess I should do the same. Maybe if I change fast enough he won't notice my arms.

"Emily, what's all over your arms?" Wolf asks as he steps closer to me. He grabs one of my arms and when he does his eyes get big. "Emily, what happened?"

"I, uh, cut myself." I don't know what to say. He grabs my other arm to look at that one too.

"How many times and why?" Wolf asks, as a tear falls down his cheek his once cheery demeanor is completely gone now.

"I'm not sure how many times it was just until I couldn't see their faces anymore." I start crying and Wolf picks me up to cradle me in his arms while he sits down in a chair. He's crying as he holds me.

"You are not hidden. There's never been a moment you were forgotten. You are not hopeless though you have been broken. Your innocence stolen. I hear you whisper underneath your breath. I hear your SOS, your SOS. I will send out an army to find you. In the middle of the darkest night It's true, I will rescue you. There is no distance that cannot be covered over and over. You're not defenseless. I'll be your shelter. I'll be your armor. I hear you whisper underneath your breath. I hear your SOS, your SOS. I will send out an army to find you. In the middle of the darkest night it's true, I will rescue you. I will never stop marching to reach you. In the middle of the hardest fight it's true, I will rescue you. I hear the whisper underneath your breath. I hear you whisper, you have nothing left. I will send out an army to find you. In the middle of the darkest night it's true, I will rescue you. I will never stop marching to reach you. In the middle of the hardest fight it's true, I will rescue you. Oh, I will rescue you" Wolf recited to me.

I looked at him with my mouth open and tears running down my face. How did I end up with such a gentle, sweet, and poetic man? I throw my arms around him and kiss him passionately.

"I'll always be here for you. If you want to talk about what happened I'll be here. If you just want to cry I'll be here. If you just want to sit in silence I'll be here. Whatever you need I'll be here for you. I love you Emily so whatever you need I'll be that but please don't think that you have to do this alone. If you feel like cutting again please come and talk to me. We'll get through it." Wolf said with tears streaming down his face

All I want is to get back to my family. As soon as I see them I take them all into my arms. How did I get so lucky to have this life? Angelus wants to know when I can train with him again. I said after the heads of states leave we can start first thing in the morning. Sia wanted to show me a painting that she made. I said it was so beautiful. Then I look at her, my wife, my lover, my queen, my Viola. She's absolutely glowing with pregnancy. She should be due soon. She's just standing there with this sweet smile on her face and I find her absolutely irresistible. I bend down and kiss her belly. When I do the baby kicks and both her and I laugh. This is my family, my home, and my life. I wouldn't give any of them up for all of the riches in the world because they are my world.

Quentin POV

It feels so good to finally come home to Elena as she did not come with us to battle Marduke. Tomorrow is her ceremony to become a General in the army and then when we get home I'll introduce her to the army, even though they already know her, I need to reintroduce her with rank. I think Elena's battle skills and what she did fighting Queen Maeve will also help to lay to rest the rumours and disrespect back home.

"Elena, you will go down in the history books as a true legend. One that stories will be told of and children will want to emulate." I told Elena as I put my arms around her and pulled her against my chest.

"You weren't bad out there yourself Sir Quentin Dragon Fighter." She smiled as she pressed her lips against mine. I smile as she pulls me to the bed.
