Demon King's Desire Quotes

“Destiny is as it is. Nothing can change it. Accept it before it ruins you.”
― J.L. Sheppard, Demon King's Desire

“If you love her as much as you claim you do, why can’t you let her be happy? She’s made her choice,” Lucas asked.
“It’s because I love her that I’m trying to protect her from you. I could give her a better life in the heavens, away from danger,” Clyde fired back.
Lucas chuckled, further maddening Clyde. “Maybe you could give her a better life, but you don’t love her. You know nothing of love, angel. If she chose you, I’d let her go because I love her. Above my needs come hers. That’s love.”

“Did you ever think she was your mate?” Lucas asked unable to help himself.
Clyde tensed, seemingly caught off-guard by the question. “I knew she wasn’t mine,” he said then exhaled. “Angels don’t mate, remember?”
“Then why did you make it so hard for her?”
“For her or for you?”
“For her. I couldn’t care less how hard you made it for me.”
“Because I love her,” Clyde responded simply. Lucas’ jaw clenched then he exhaled, acknowledging that hearing another man admit he loved Jenna would never get easier.
“Not the way you do, but I love her. I wanted what was best for her. I thought you weren’t it,” Clyde added then turned to walk away. He paused and spun back around. “One more thing. If you ever hurt her, I’ll kill you.”
Lucas let the fire in his heart fill his eyes. He would never hurt Jenna; they both knew it. “I know. That’s one of the reasons I haven’t killed you myself.”

for centuries, Jenna. I never knew your name or if you were even alive yet,

of my long existence. I searched for you because I knew you were my
