Protect Him At All Costs Novels & Stories

God, he had meant to protect them – to bring them here so that they were safer – Victor kneels down in front of his boys, placing one hand on each of their cheeks. “You are safe, boys. I am so, so sorry this happened. Please, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you.” The boys nod, almost in tandem, and Victor’s heart again surges to see how much they trust him. He means it, too – he will do anything – anything –to protect these boys. Take on anyone – kill anyone who threatens them – But can he? Hell, he can’t even protect them in his own back yard.

—That makes you a target. He grunted, struggling with his shirt, and I started to help. — I'm already a target. Our life, remember. — My job is to protect you and our children. Promise me you won't take unnecessary risks, especially while Enzo is still breathing. — I won't, as long as you do the same.

The scent of his coat was still in my nose, something like burned cedar and cold iron. “I‘m not…” I finally admitted, shame filled my bones as I conceded to my incompetence. I didn't dare to be ambitious. “Let me rephrase my question. "How far will you go to protect your Core in a game where others devour it to rise?” I blinked at him. What sort of game is this? “Answer me.” He demanded. “I’d do anything to protect my Core. It’s all I have.”

He says putting his pen down leaning back sinking further into his chair eyes plunging into mine to gauge my reaction to his words. "Why?" I inquire shifting forward. He moves back away from me, I move front closer to him. Push & Pull. "If our heavily guarded pack has been infiltrated for the second time, it merely means with time many shall follow. I need you to become stronger so you can protect yourself and our male when I am not with you. And when I am here I will protect you Lumina, even if I have to give up my life. I will do it in a heartbeat. I swear by it."

“You are not alone in this, Azariah. You never have been. Yes, this is risky. Yes, there are people out there who will see only what they can take. But we also have something they do not have. We have clarity about what we want, and we have each other.” He brushed a strand of hair away from my face, his touch tender and reassuring. “You once told me that my obsession felt like a cage,” he continued, his voice dropping to a quieter, more intimate tone. “But now I want you to know that it has changed. It is no longer about owning you or keeping you locked away. It is about protecting what matters most to me. If they try to pressure you, if they try to intimidate you, or if they try to separate

“I need to protect him.” Lester nodded, moving closer, but there was something cautious in his movements, something restrained. He didn’t want to frighten me further, didn’t want to overwhelm me. “We’ll protect him,” he said quietly. “I’ll help. Leo will help. Jake will help… even if you don’t want him to.”

I didn’t want to be the weak link, the one who constantly needed saving. He sat up beside me, cupping my face gently as he looked into my eyes. “You aren’t a liability, Scarlett. You’re a priority,” he said, his gaze soft but unwavering. “We’re here to protect you. The cook showed us that anyone might betray you if it meant saving themselves. And with your father’s enemies still out there… we have to take every precaution.” His fingers tilted my chin up, so our eyes met. “You’re our mate, Scarlett. You’re ours to protect,” he said, his voice full of warmth, as if those simple words carried every reason in the world for him to guard me.

"No, I can save her." He got up and went to the corner to grab a steel pipe as thick as an arm. "If you can't disarm bombs anymore, they'll have to reinstate her. Help her one last time. Don't be scared. I promise, we will make it up to you." Dread surged from my feet to my skull as I watched him approach. "Are you crazy? My hands save lives, not paving the way for your protégé." Guilt flickered in his eyes, but his grip on the pipe didn't waver. "I'll take care of you forever."

"That's all he wanted?" I mentally scolded myself. I was only thinking so much. Or maybe because I didn't want Kelly to be hurt and I wanted to protect her at all cost. He looked away, was silent for a moment, and returned his eyes to me. "Y-yes." "Oh, I see." "If you're thinking that someone will hurt your child, I won't allow it. I will protect her at all costs. Anyone that mattered to you will also matter to me," he consoled.
