I Regressed As The Duke Novels & Stories

He concluded, "I want her around here." Rebecca seemed to force herself not to break down, her height tall, shoulders high, chin up, she stammered, "You have never spoken to me like this…" "That is because you have never acted this way before," The Duke was fast on his feet when he answered, "Our fathers had the emnity. If they are both dead, then to hell with it!"

Pinapahamak niya ako. "My daughter is engaged..." the duke started. "But I'm not." Napatampal ako sa noo dahil sa sinagot ni Cassius. What the hell? Why is he so sly like a fox? "It doesn't matter if you're not engaged. My daughter is engaged with the Crown Prince. You should know and understand that it's treason to covet someone's fiancée right?" the duke said firmly. Cassius chuckled and fixed his eyes on me. The way his eyes were on me, it felt uncomfortable because it feels like he knows what I'm thinking right now.

“Take it easy. Deep breath.” “I can’t do it. It’ll break my mom’s heart.” “No, no. Breaking this engagement is a bad idea, Kate.” One of his hands caught her shoulder while the other tilted her chin so their eyes could meet. “You aren’t breaking anyone’s heart. No one has to know that this whole thing is fake. Also, no matter what you say, they’ll assume that I get bored of you. If you want to go through with this revenge, you have to marry me. You have to be the one who tames the wild duke.”

My gaze lowered on the wooden floor. "Maybe I am. Ever since father was put to prison, I came to loathe places like this." "Why?" "My mother." I inhaled sharply. "She loved places like this. And I could not stand this kind of... kind of wealth." I brought my gaze up and I met his. My eyes squinted, glazed. "Anthony, who really are you?" Silence passed between us and he turned his head sideways, avoiding my gaze. He then spoke words that brought me to my knees. "I am the Duke Regent, the high ruler of Consolacion."

He had come to like Duke, seeing him as a man of principle. “I truly believed that I could trust you. Right now, despite knowing what you’ve done, I still believe that I can trust you. That’s how much I’ve come to see you, like a son worthy of my trust. At the risk of being called a fool, considering that I met you not so long ago.” Duke could not express his disappointment enough. “I sincerely express my regret.” Dominic apologized. “I should not have kept my identity away from you.” Duke shook his head regretfully as slowly he began to pace the floor thoughtfully. “I mean, I saw the signs. You were too polished, too sound to be whom you were presenting to me.”

"But I've seen you before." "Get your hands off her." "Turn around." Duke rose with his hand hovering over Kael, whose body began to shift as his bones popped and reset into human form. Duke turned his gaze toward me, a predator measuring a carcass. "Did you not hear her? Or do you need me to remove your hand for you?" Something felt off — deeper than anything I had seen in the woods — so I released her and held my hands up. "Father," I shouted, not taking my eyes off Duke. "He's a traitor. Why is he standing there?"

Like I was already bought. Behind me, Uncle Greg lit a cigarette. His face looked relaxed, as if he had just finished a hard job and was proud of himself. He didn’t even glance at me. “Is this her?” one of the men asked. His voice was low and cold. Uncle Greg nodded. “Yeah. Human. Still a virgin. Should be perfect for what your Alpha wants.” The taller man stepped forward and looked me over. His stare made my skin crawl. “She looks weak.” Uncle Greg chuckled and blew out smoke. “She is. But she won’t make noise cause she listens. Won’t even fight back. You won’t have trouble with her. She’s been trained to obey.”

THIRD POV "What the fuck did you do to her, Duke?!" Darius spat out angrily. "Don't tell me it is what I am thinking." "Yeah Duke," Dean added as he advanced towards his brothers. "Tell us exactly what happened." "What are your brothers talking about?" Luna Freya stared confusedly at her sons. What were they talking about? Duke felt the words too heavy to pronounce but they had already felt it and it was of no use to pretend. So he took a deep breath and spoke up in a loud, audible and confident voice. "I rejected her as my mate."

"You are smart, of course it comes with a prize. You have to start the whole process again." I shook my head and smiled at him. "I think I am done with you for now, you need to swap places with Richmond. I don't think he's happy having to touch my butt alone." As a reply to that, Richmond spanked my arse and I burst out laughing. He climbed down from the bed and Duke got up from where he laid in front of me and swapped places with him to much of Duke's distaste. "You will know what you missed by letting me go," Duke whined.

"You look... you look like a queen." "I am a queen," I said. "Say what you came to say, Julian." His eyes darted nervously toward Cassian, then the archers on the wall, then back to me. "I made a mistake," he said. "A terrible mistake. I didn't know who you really were. If I had known—" "If you had known I was royalty, you'd have treated me better?" My voice stayed calm, but something hot burned underneath it. "That's not an apology, Julian. That's regret over what you lost, not sorrow for what you did."
