Jason Todd X Reader Protective Novels & Stories

Our goals were aligned, and I could live with that. Jason, though… Jason was different. He hadn’t tried to use me as a tool. Instead, he’d offered to protect me, to hide me from those who sought to control me. I could feel a whisper of doubt stirring, but I pushed it aside. Jason’s motives seemed clear, and I trusted him—at least, as much as I could trust anyone in this world.

Not here,” I said coolly, crossing my arms. He narrowed his eyes. “You sound like you’re hiding something.” “Or maybe I just don’t like you.” He smirked, but there was no real amusement in it. “You know, for someone who claims she doesn’t like drama, you sure love sticking your nose in ours.” “Someone has to protect her,” I snapped. That shut him up. For about half a second. Then he said, quieter, “You think I don’t want to protect her too?” The thing about Jason is… he’s infuriating, arrogant, cocky as hell. But in that moment, he didn’t look like the untouchable golden boy. He looked human. Almost scared.

Jason roared. “You know why” My dads voice loud as he entered the room. As my dad walked in Jason stood from the floor when he had fallen. I could have sworn that just for a second, he looked scared. Watching as my dad lifted his arm, Jason began to gasp for air which meant his windpipe was being restricted. Out of nowhere a small brown wolf ran into my dad causing him to tumble losing his hold over Jason. The brown wolf ran to Jason shielding him from us. Shifting back into Star I charged at the wolf that would protect this monster only to be knocked into the wall by Tan. Jake rushed to Stars side making sure nothing had been broken by the impact.

"It's just me." My beta stopped a respectful distance away, his eyes flicking over me once before settling on my face. Taking in the situation without judgment. "You shouldn't push yourself that hard," he said quietly. "You'll kill yourself." "I've survived worse." "Not lately," he countered. I sighed, too tired to argue. "Did you find anything new?" Jaxon shook his head. "Nothing. No records. No pack ties. Hospital access was completely blocked. Whoever she is, someone powerful is protecting her."

Raven shrunk for a while, fury burning across his face. We all stared at Jason with no words. But he didn’t stop. He couldn't not anymore. I guess he has held back for too long. “You both say you want to protect her. But protecting her doesn’t mean staking a claim. It doesn’t mean fighting each other like she’s a prize. Protection means standing by her even when she doesn’t choose you. It means letting her breathe.” Jason was just talking too much and it was tearing me apart the more. My hands started trembling,where it rested on the table. I looked at Jason with so much disappointment.

“Stay here? With these criminals? Live this life that got your father killed?” I saw the words hit her. Saw her flinch like he’d struck her. “That’s what I thought.” Jason moved closer to her, his voice shifting to something softer, more manipulative. “You’re not cut out for this world, babe. You’re too good. Too pure. Come home. Let me protect you.” The word “babe” made my hands curl into fists. Breaking his jaw would be easy. “She doesn’t need your protection,” I said, my voice ice. “She has mine.”

Jason said “You should have seen the way she protected Adi. She would have bitten my head off if not…” “If not what?” Luke asked him impatiently and curiously “Nothing” Jason said shaking his head in dismissal “I'm your friend Jason. Your beta. Why are you hiding things from me? Is there something about her I should be worried about?” “No!. Look, I’m not trying to hide things okay. She doesn't want to accept it yet, but she's my mate” He said rubbing his hands on his face I wasn't trying to eavesdrop. I just felt attuned to him. The mate bond keeps pulling me in towards him. I start to make my way to him to clarify some things when I bump into someone.

“Then the ward gets tapped.” Jason’s eyes sharpen. “You think it’s connected.” “I think someone was waiting.” “For her?” “For a reaction,” I say. “If she spikes, the ward shifts. If the ward shifts, it exposes reinforcement channels.” Jason swears softly. “So he wasn’t testing territory.” “No.” “He was testing what’s inside.” The word hangs heavy between us. Protected individual. I feel sick. Jason watches my face. “You care about her.” “Don’t.” “It matters.”

Bella muttered, “Because it’s your project.” Lila looked at her mother, confused. “What’s that supposed to mean?” Jason’s voice was low, steady. “It means he’s trying to hurt me — by hurting the people I love most.” Lila shook her head. “That’s sick.” “It’s effective,” Jason said grimly. “He’s not fighting me in boardrooms anymore. He’s fighting me in the streets, in your dreams.” A camera crew moved closer. A reporter called out, “Mr. Reed! Is it true your daughter’s project violated federal safety laws?”

Jason.. "W-who are you?" Mr Flynn stuttered. "I'm Jason Coleman." I said pulling out my business card and giving it to him. "Jason tech?" He said reading the business card. "That tech company in the news?" He said making me nod. "What do you want from me?" He asked. "Nothing much." I said chuckling. Anyone watching would probably think I was hear to strike some kind of deal especially with jade standing at my back like some kind of bodyguard but I already swore to change my ways. I can't go back to doing bad things few hours after I swore not to do them.
