Protect Her At All Costs Novels & Stories

he took a long drink, “But I'll convince her, and tonight, she goes with you.” I smiled slow, tipping my chin. “She will go unguarded,” he said, “Not because she doesn’t need protecting but because she will be under your protection now. My men will not follow. Her brothers will not interfere. If you are man enough to claim her, you are man enough to keep her safe.” A pulse of pride surged hot in my chest. I inclined my head once more, “I’ll guard her with my life.” His lips curved faintly, not quite a smile, “Guard her with your name. That is what matters.”

I had to remain vigilant in order to protect her and make sure she performed her duties. I swore silently as I drained my glass. Even if it meant hiding the real nature of our planet from Kyra, I would protect her. She was entitled to a life devoid of the shadows that tormented me. And even if it meant keeping her at a distance, I would stop at nothing to ensure her safety.

But the beast calling Omegas vile made me recoil. "Don't," I snapped. I bent and grabbed the bottle. It was warm, pulsing like a heartbeat. My hand shook. "No. Absolutely fucking not." This is you, the thing whispered. Your idea. Your heart. We just help when you freeze up. You want to protect her but you need to protect yourself first. What better way to do both than to do this. We could make sure. End the risk. No one touches her life cord. No one hurts her. You become the shield instead of the blade.

Protect her. Ronan’s eyes never left mine, dark and piercing, assessing, probing. “Strength alone cannot save her,” he said softly, almost a whisper meant only for me. “Will you act when the line is drawn? Will you sacrifice everything to protect her?” I lifted my chin, letting my voice ring clear across the courtyard. “I will act,” I said firmly. “Every moment, every choice, every action is mine to make. And I will use them to shield her from every danger, every threat, every shadow that dares approach.”

“This is ridiculous.” But the words didn’t stick. I straightened, shoulders squaring. “This isn’t weakness.” The reflection in the glass didn’t argue. “This is prevention,” I continued firmly. “This is what I do.” If her friends were safe, I’d bring them here. Let Delia see them. Let her breathe again. Remind her she wasn’t a prisoner…just protected. “She needs to understand that,” I muttered. And if they weren’t… My jaw clenched. “If someone touched them,” I said coldly, “they made a very expensive mistake. Because I don’t lose what’s under my protection,” I added quietly. Not ever.

His jaw tightened. "But he's not awake, Alice. He's lying in that bed, and he’s slipping away, and I am here. I am right here, and I am not slipping away, and I am telling you — clearly, honestly, without calculation and without pretense — that I will protect you. I will protect you from the vindictiveness of Lily McCutchen. From Adam’s Marie. From David Newcombe. From whoever else comes. I will use every resource I have, every connection, every franc in the institute's accounts, every shred of influence I've spent my entire adult life building — and I will spend it all on you. Without hesitation. Without regret. Without asking for anything in return except the chance to be the person who st

As I held her, I realized that my love for her had transformed me into someone who would always be there to wipe away her tears and provide comfort in times of distress. I want to protect you here, even if it costs me my life. I vowed to shield you from any harm that may come your way, regardless of the sacrifices I may have to make. Regina's well-being will be my top priority, and I am willing to go to great lengths to ensure your safety and happiness.

She could burn this entire world down and I would stand at her side in the very heart of the flames, and together, we would face the inferno. Consequences be damned… I would defy the laws of gods and men, I would shatter the chains of convention, I would brave the depths of hell itself, if that's what it took to shield her from harm. My duty, my honor, my very existence was bound to her protection, and I would stop at nothing to ensure that she remained unscathed, unbroken, and untouchable.

And now she wants to launch an attack on Alpha Tristan; does she think I would allow that? As his beta, it is my duty to protect him with everything, even if it requires my last breath. I saw her clasp her hands again, like the other time she had sent the warriors flying in the air. I know her attack might not have an effect on Alpha Tristan, but I don’t want to gamble. Without thinking twice, I stepped in front of Alpha Tristan to shield him from the attack. She raised her gaze to meet mine and gave me an ’are you okay’ look, but I didn't really care about how she perceived me. All I had to do was protect my Alpha from the attack.
