I Will Protect The Duke This Time Novels & Stories

I could feel the warmth of his body higher than usual. “I am a demon who lives by desire and greed, you have yielded with the contract that you have exchanged with your life?” “Then what do you want?” “I want the whole of you Veta Le Blanchet, not just your blood, heart and soul, it is the whole of you.” Theroux Claude, the third prince of the kingdom. “Lady Le Blanchet, just how can you stand this demon duke? If you ever get tired of him, you are always welcome to my palace.”

she answered. It took a few seconds before the Prince responded. “If that was what you think, I did not have any reasons to object to it,” the Prince said. “Your answer lacked details,” Duke stated. My ears tingled by what the Duke had expressed. I forced myself to smile and look innocent, though I wanted to smack him. Frederick Ivrea, one of those people you do not want to mess with. A valiant warrior--- a perfect description for the Duke of Athenesy. Exterminator of corrupt officials, pirates, and any person who attempts to overthrow the Empire.

“So that’s what it’s come to, has it? You would allow Khaos to destroy me, all for the sake of some floozy that anyone could have with a few words? Please--” “You will not speak about her like that,” I interrupted, seizing the front of his shirt and hurling him forward, bringing my face close to his. “That is my mate, and you will show her the respect that is her due.” “You bring her back here, Duke, and I’m gone. You will be choosing her over me.” “So be it,” I muttered back, pushing him away from me. “Your mother would be disgusted. I promised her on her deathbed that I would protect you. She gave her life to bring you into this world, and this is how you’re going to repay her?”

“Killing me won’t change the fact that everyone knows Rosetta is the true heir to everything your greed desires.” Nia, her chest heaving with effort, mustered the strength to glare at the Duke. “You’re a coward,” she spat, her voice defiant despite her pain. “Hiding behind your power while destroying everyone around you!” The Duke’s face contorted with rage, his hand raised as if to strike her, but Vivienne stepped forward, placing a hand on his arm. “Save the fun for the ball,” she whispered, her tone dripping with mockery. The Duke paused, his lips curled into a dark grin as he lowered his hand. “You’re right,” he said, his gaze shifting back to Nia. “Tonight, we’ll make this a spectacle t

“When you are face to face with Titan, remember Ada and Emma will be watching. Don’t come off as a jealous ex. You have to keep it professional.” “I know. I am most worried about Ada,” Duke confesses. “I don’t want to give her a reason to reject me.” “You have to walk to the line. Don’t snap his neck but don’t go light. Warn the girls, please, warn them both,” Bär reminds his brother. “Understood. Thank you, brother,” Duke says, before ending the call.

They both had a tacit understanding of what she's talking about. Duke Kensington smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll protect you." "I hope when the time comes, you'll appear as timely as you always do." Melissa said sarcastically. 'He declared so easily about protecting me, does he have a drone following me 24/7?!' Not noting the sarcasm in her voice, Duke Kensington thought Melissa had finally relied on him to protect her. Proudly, he took her hands in his and said, "You can count on me, My Lady."

He tries to move past me once again and this time, I place both my palms on his suit covered chest, dig the balls of my feet into the floor and push him backwards. Duke is six foot, four inches of pure muscle. My feeble attempt to overpower him does not work. But it helps to slow him down at least. “You’re not going anywhere with her! Hand her to me. We came together, we’ll leave together.” He shakes his head and turns to Bhyron; “Get your woman out of the way, big guy.” “Roger that.”

"We didn't use protection when we had sex, so..." "I am not going to get pregnant now, and the moon goddess is aware." I turned off my data and the light of my phone before placing it between my legs. "You better not be because I want to have you to myself before turning you into a mummy." Duke winked at me, and he laughed at the expression on my face. "You wish." I rolled my eyes. "That's a pretty wish, you know?" Duke bumped into me with his elbow and laughed. "What about your offer to help me get revenge on those stupid rogues?" I said, becoming serious. If that was the last thing I would do for them, I was going to do it.

However, they could not care less and turned their heads away from him, as if he did not exist there. Alexander "....." Did they just ignore him like that? How could they!? He is the Duke of Iquarayon for God's sake! How could these two not show him a bit of respect!? His frown deepened when he noticed Leonor's position carefully and immediately bending down he picked him up from her belly.

But…’ something in that last word injected hopefulness in the duke, who had to remind himself to not celebrate too soon. If Sush was a threat, he’d have to put an end to the bullshit fantasies that seemed to be spiraling out of control in his mind and body. His wants would always come second to keeping Enora safe. This was something that was never going to change. He wouldn’t let anyone hurt the pup, not even the woman he was falling for, especially not the woman he was falling for. Jade continued, ‘But this is wholly speculation, Boss. And I’d be lying if I don’t say my skepticism is caused by the post-traumatic event of… Ugly Deli.’
