Missi And Duke Novels & Stories

Ryan was instantly silenced, his mouth opening and closing like a fish gasping for air. I looked directly at Marcus, the man I had once thought I loved more than life itself. "Marcus, I came down here not because I can't bear to leave you, but because I wanted to say some things to your face. Things you need to hear." Marcus's eyes filled with desperate hope again. "I, Catherine Blackwood, am a Duke's daughter who was beloved and cherished from the moment I was born. But because I was blind and stupid enough to fall for you, you trampled my dignity into the dirt and let a servant lord over me like I was nothing."

The Duke assumed it was my etiquette teacher. “See, you have potential.” “It happens once in a blue moon, sky, or star.” “You’re exaggerating.” He frowned. What’s distasteful, though? “I guess, no matter how I tried to cross the line, we will never meet at a certain point.” Unlike me, who had strong ties with rules, Duke Frederick was the man who would take part in extreme sports despite experiencing bone fractures. “Do you really want our friends to end up together?” “I don’t know.”

"Well, yes. That's for a human's perspective. But for us-a noble or a mythical creature as what human history says-it's natural. We can live for millennia and tens and hundreds of it, not aging. We can even enter eternal slumber if we want to. "But that's not always the case. Sometimes, one can enter a force eternal sleep if they committed a crime that is too grave beyond comprehension and the risk being known to the world is high or they took offense to the humankind that we're supposed to take care." -Cassielle Elise D. Dairen, the daughter of the duke, Clyde Estreno D. Dairen. The unknown duchess.

Public approval swelled. One week later. Andra and Dominic arrived at the campaign office together. The place buzzed with activity—phones ringing, aides shuffling papers, volunteers coordinating movements with practiced urgency. Duke stepped out of his glass-walled office when he saw them. His eyes scanned their faces. “If I didn’t see that glow, I’d think something was wrong,” he said with a hint of humor. Andra and Dominic smiled—too brightly, too knowingly. Then Dominic spoke. “Mr. Duke,” he began. “I’m in love with your daughter. We’re not playing anymore.”

Across the room, seated at one of the smaller tables, was Duke and Shaina Adams. The two looked relaxed, and were laughing at something Duke had said. This was the first time I had seen Duke with his guard down. His face seemed to be an impassive mask any time I had the pleasure of talking with him. He always seemed to have that unnerving look of intelligence in his eye, as though he were looking right through me. I turned my head away from the two of them before either caught on, shaking the strange sight from my mind. With Michelle's sudden appearance and Duke's guarded demeanor far from mind, I got ready for the party tonight. Tyra took our deal to heart it seemed, throwing on a short dre

"Duke doesn't like men who hurt women. You could say it's a line that, when crossed, has him committing murder. He just got out of prison for the second time. He'll have no problem pretending your head is a pumpkin and leaving it in pieces before we go." Miles's face turns the color of boiling lobster. "I can't breathe," he gasps in a strangled voice. You would think Duke had him by the throat. "Good," Dax replies, his smile still in place. "Your smashed head won't hurt so bad if you pass out first. Knowing Duke here, though, he'll wake you up before he caves in your skull." "Please." His eyes scramble around the room looking for help that isn't there. "They never came back. Went on a call a

My family was the most famous line of witches at the royal court. My sister, Lilith Seyler, was famous for her lofty principles. I was the only one who knew she was a complete fraud. When the royal marriage decree arrived at House Seyler, she shut herself in her prayer room out in the woods and refused to come out. "Duke Edmund, your wealth and your power are dust to me. A proposal from a duke is no different than a proposal from a farmhand." Then she laid out three conditions for Duke Edmund. The Duke was to build a prayer room on his estate, since she needed quiet meditation and practice with the elements to keep her magic stable. Before the wedding, the Duke was to wash in mountain spring

Deucalion said. This was the father of the Craven Sisters! Did he know that Issa was fucking his daughters on a daily basis? I had so many questions. "Pleased to meet you, Alpha Craven," I said with a bow. "Please, call me Duke, all my friends call me that." He sent me a pleasant smile. "She has no interest in being your friend, Duke," Issa answered. "You have your Luna to deal with." I corked my brows at Issa's defensive stance and it suddenly clicked in my head that Issa thought Duke was trying to flirt with me.

“Go now, before I change my mind. Oh, don’t forget your fees. I’ll collect those later!” As soon as he said that, the group of men immediately ran away, straight towards the door. They already lost their will to even take part in the auction. Not with a death god hanging over their heads. “They run so fast.” The duke uttered coldly as he watched the men run for their lives. “Lucas, don’t forget to collect their promised payment later. We’re going to need it for this upcoming winter.” “Yes, Lord Duke.” Lucas bowed. “The job’s done. Now I have to greet my gue…” A frown slipped out of the duke’s face. He looked around and felt confused. “Lucas… where’s that lady?” “She’s gone… Duke. She ran awa

“You’re married already?” Maribella’s face fell a little. “How did you guess?” she demanded. “No!” moaned Amelia. “Felix, see what happens when you leave town? I won’t have it!” But her words fell on deaf ears. Too blissfully happy themselves to deny their friends the same pleasures, the Duke and his Duchess were fully engaged in wishing the new Lady Byron and her Lord all manner of felicitations. And then, of course, there was their own news to hear, and that of the Hammingtons. The next ten minutes were filled with congratulations and good wishes.
