Leave Me Alone Duke Novels & Stories

But just then a knock came on the door, mercifully catching the Duke’s attention, and as he turned and moved to open it Anna felt as if she’d earned a reprieve of some kind. A member of staff came in carrying a tray in one hand and a bottle in the other. He deposited the tray on the coffee table by the couch, put the bottle beside it, then left. The tray contained a selection of cheeses and crackers, two long-stemmed glasses, and a steaming cup of tea. The Duke moved over to the tray and picked up the tea. “There is champagne, of course, but I thought you might prefer something a little more calming.” He carried it over to the small table that stood next to the armchair closest to the firepl

"There. That is where we wait." ​"Wait for what?" ​"For Silas to arrive in person," the Duke said, his eyes flashing with a lethal hunger. "He wants the Scythe. He wants the Tenth Life. I’m going to give him exactly what he wants—right through his throat." ​He picked me up, throwing me over his shoulder like a prize of war. I beat my fists against his back, but it was like hitting solid stone. As he began the vertical climb up the rain-slicked rock, I realized the terrifying truth

She quietly did as she was told and sat down. Seeing her comply, the duke’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. He leaned forward lazily, resting his arms and head on the stone table. Listening to the sound of the water, inhaling the scent of flowers and damp earth, and enjoying the warmth of the spring sun, he slowly closed his eyes. His mind wandered to the girl across from him, unsure of what he wanted and growing anxious with his silence—a little kitten, just waiting for him to toy with. No rush. Let her stew for a while, let her guess.

Duke Andrew's departure has caused turmoil among new supporters of Prince Raoul. Most of them were willing to take sides because Duke Alison convinced them. However, with Duke Andrew leaving for the battlefield, Duke Alison's position is in danger of falling when only his granddaughter is controlling the current power. Some are starting to worry about their choices. And to calm everyone's worries, someone will be sent to meet Ariana in person.

The day I learned the truth about my husband, Duke Alistair, and his adopted sister, Liana, I left. I abandoned my title, my home, and returned to my father's palace. A year passed. Then came news of chaos in the duchy. The servant Alistair sent spoke with desperation, “Your Highness, the Duke and your son are lost to reason. If you don’t return, I fear they will burn everything to the ground.” I looked at the blood I'd coughed onto my handkerchief. I nodded.

Minute silence stretched every new second of time. “Julia, give orders, let them put him under surveillance, we must not let this man out of our sight,” Duk says, moving away from his thoughtful stupor. Julia nods in agreement. - As soon as Alud returns from the council, it will be necessary to tell him. Duke was silent. He picked up a book, opened it in a random place and selectively read a few lines, once again convinced of the authenticity of his guesses. Julia was no longer around, she left.

Duke did. Later, a nurse told us that Mr. Duke wants to see me alone. I was bewildered why. Distressed to perceive if he came to know about our bond and won’t accept it. Eliana was an adult who could choose her life but I doubt she would do anything that could affect her father’s sentiments. She loved him dearly and definitely not in this state. Upholding a stoic front, I entered. “Mr. Duke?” He was lying on the bed, medical instruments covered him and the second he saw me, he did something unexpected.

"This isn't your fault. You're innocent." Madison's voice came out soft and sweet. "But what happens if Aria leaves?" Alex stared at me with cold eyes. "The pack won't fall apart because one person's gone." My wolf churned in my chest, and I wanted to tear him apart, but I forced it down. His voice dropped even colder. "Aria, think carefully. The pack runs fine without you, but if you leave here? You won't find a better Alpha than me." He took a step forward. "You want to walk out, I won't stop you, but—"

“You don’t have to know everything about the business I have with anyone.” “Yeah right, but you have to know mine.” “Stop being childish.” Childish?! “Please get out.” “Baby love, I didn’t mean that I’m sorry.” “Get the fuck out.” Duke is refusing to leave the room, I’m angry, clenching my fist to stop myself from doing anything rational. “Awwww, are the forever love birds fighting. Ohh you look very angry sis.” What the fuck?! “Don’t call me that. Duke, what the fuck is she doing here?”

"Regarding my daughter, I'll be taking her back to my hometown soon. You can forget about her." I glanced around the room. Once I completed my postpartum recovery, there'd be no need for me to return here ever again. "Becca, even after giving birth, you're still planning to leave?" Stanley's voice trembled. "It's my fault. I'm the one who deserves to die. Please, Becca, don't leave!" The moment he heard I was leaving, he jumped to his feet and started slapping himself. Hard.
