The Duke And His Mate

Red Johnson Paranormal

#Dreame love story contest: Love & Disobey

A curse. A sacrifice and a tryst to rebuild a legacy destroyed centuries ago....

"You cannot run away from her like that, your grace! She's your mate. If it's not her...then it's no one for you. Only she could save you from the darkness you keep yourself locked up in..."

His dark eyes turned darker as he stared out at the cloudless sky. No matter how hard a fight he puts up, his heart was shattering inside into pieces that he had no strength left to pick back up.

"She is a weak, fragile...human. That's what she is," He whispered. "The only thing I could do is destroy her...I cannot accept her and ruin her life further, sir,"

Even if it meant spending each day...dying in agony.
