Protect Her At All Costs Novels & Stories

I don’t give a damn about winning because the moment she’s in my arms, everything else becomes irrelevant. “What are you doing here?” I ask, my voice clipped, controlled, even though everything inside me is anything but. I hold her close, tight enough that anyone watching would think I just claimed her like the others would. I have to play it that way. I can’t let anyone know she means anything to me. If they find out, they’ll come after her and I won’t let that happen. Not after what her mother fought so hard to protect her from. I’d give my last breath before I let this filth touch her.

she asked one day, pointing to her personal guard. “Because you’re special. Important. We need to keep you safe.” I tried to explain at a level she could understand. “Don’t want safe. Want play.” She pouted adorably. “I know, sweetheart. But the world isn’t always nice. Some wolves want to hurt you. We’re protecting you from them.” “I protect me!” She declared, her silver eyes glowing slightly. “Like this!” She tried to summon her power, managing a tiny spark of light.

And again. I drag myself back against a tree, the world spinning. Blood pools beneath me forming a map of my life. It is warm and sticky. I manage a weak laugh. “You’re not gonna break it.” “What?!” The frustration twisting his face is almost satisfying. “You know how I am…” I cough, chest burning. “If there’s one thing I’ll always protect, it’s my own hide.” I gesture toward the shield. “That’s the proof.” Phineas sneers and strides toward me. Good. Stay away from her.

She stands there, arms crossed, eyes filled with something I can’t quite place. I'm confident she'll be safe. Achilles is almost more protective of her than I am, and he's the best person to look after her.

I looked at him, my lips pressed together. “I won’t let it happen. No matter who wants to harm her, Krimson,” I spat, feeling my anger boil. “Mikail. Sienna. Calista. Rowan. I’m going to protect her from all of them. From the whole world if I have to.” I had to protect her. Now more than ever. Although to do so… I might have to break my own heart.

I had to ensure I was connected to her if something happened. Now that we are, I can sense she’s not at full strength, but it doesn’t matter. I will help her in any way I can to get her there. However, that is the last time she gets hurt while I’m around. I will stand and protect my beautiful Queen until my last breath.

“Answer me. What did you do?” She shakes her head violently, eyes darting between him and me, like a trapped animal searching for an escape. “I—I did it for you! Always for you!” Caden’s brows furrow. “For me? What the hell are you talking about?” “You wouldn’t understand,” she stammers, tears spilling. “Everything I’ve done… every move I’ve made… it was to protect you, to keep you safe from people like her—” she points at me with a trembling finger, “—who were never worthy of you!”

If I can tick the box, if I can buy us more time, then I can make sure she’s properly protected. And more than that, I need to make sure her body is stronger too. Whatever the hell she’s been through we can all see she’s still recovering. I won’t have her put at risk, I won’t. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe no matter how much she fights me. No matter how much she doesn’t want it. She’s my mate. My mate. And I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe, to look after her. Even if she’s too damn stubborn and bloody minded to see it.

She needed me to be strong for her. For our family. I had to be the protector now. I had to keep them safe, no matter the cost

I say flatly. Her lips part, hurt flashes for just a second. Then she steps closer. “So send me away.” The idea hits like a blade. “No.” “You just said…” “I don’t care,” I snapped. “I don’t care what you are, what you were, or who hunts you. You are under my protection.” She studies me again. This time, something warmer enters her gaze. “And what does that protection cost?” My wolf answers before I do. “Everything,” I say. I lean in, lowering my voice.
