I Will Protect You Novels & Stories

“Choose me. Let's protect you, love you and stand up for you. I will always be with you. And I'll defy every order just to be with you.” My heart burst into pieces.

Rachel held back her tears and whispered, "Will you really… protect me?" Logan promised seriously, "Yes, I'll make them pay the price if anyone wants to harm you!"

I admitted. He smiled faintly and shook his head. “If they get upset with you, Jarvis, Chantal, and I will defend you. You have three protectors, you know? We won’t leave you. Don’t be scared, huh? I’m sure the kids will protect you, too. They’re still mad at me for what I did before, but do you think they’d let it happen again? I doubt it. They love you that much, babe.” “R-Really? But what if your parents—”

She's the only one I have left to protect now. “Я клянусь, я защищу тебя любой ценой,” I whispered into the wood. (I swear, I will protect you at any cost.) I would protect her from this world, even if I had to destroy it piece by piece. Even if I had to lock her up and make her hate me for life.

"I won't leave you alone again." He'd play the part of the devoted, protective friend. Stay by her side, ease her worries, make her believe he was the one person she could rely on. And all the while, he'd subtly steer her away from the memories that would ruin everything. This is how it has to be, he reminded himself. It's for her own good.

“I’m doing it for me.” The silence lingered for a while, and only the echo of dripping water and the footsteps of distant guards filled the space. Finally, I muttered, “You always do this.” She blinked. “Do what?” “Decide you’re the only one who has to fix everything.” Her face softened a little. “If I don’t, who will?” “I will,” I said immediately. “I’ll protect you, even if you hate me for it.” “I don’t hate you.” “Then listen to me,” I pleaded. “Let me handle this. Let me go after Halvar. You just stay here, stay quiet, and I’ll…”

I wanted to protect her. I wanted to drag her onto this table and forget that my father and the Council even existed. The forbidden nature of it was a physical weight, a tether pulling tighter and tighter until I thought it might snap my spine. I leaned down, my face inches from hers, my shadow swallowing her whole. “You have no idea what you are asking for,” I growled. “You think you want to be seen? If I really look at you, Irene, I won’t be able to stop. And then we both lose everything.”

“I'll be fine,” I promised, pushing off his paw and pulling off the shirt I'd worn to bed. I put my arms in my bra and did that, then pulled my pink thermal shirt over the top. “That wolf is unlikely to attack the site in broad daylight, especially now that he knows you're around. And I promise I won't go anywhere else without you. I know you won't be far from me if I need you. Josh looked at me for a few moments, then slowly shook his head.

Not ever. I pressed both my hands flat against my desk, grounding myself with the coolness of the surface. I leaned forward until I was just a breath away from the glass, staring out into the world that had once felt so big, so cruel, and now suddenly felt small enough to burn down if I needed to. And then I whispered—not loudly, but with all the strength I had left: “I’ll protect you, Roman. I swear I will. No matter what it takes. No matter what it costs me.”

My heart pounded with terror, but beneath the fear, a small, fiercely protective fire burned bright in my chest. I will protect you, my little one, I swore silently, resting my hand over my stomach as the distant whistle of the midnight train echoed through the dark trees. No matter who comes for us, I will never let them break us again.
