Lycan King Joaquin

Chapter 3

Delilah steps in front of Francemia and puts her hand in her face. “Hold up. What just happened back there? That huge ass wolf is your mate. Why didn’t you acknowledge him?”

Before she could answer her, Starr chuckled. “That wasn't a regular-sized Alpha wolf. His ass was larger, and I do mean larger than an Alpha wolf, and you know what that means." She raises her hands and opens them as wide as she can.

“Get your mind out of the gutter.” Phylicia hit Starr’s hand. “Our leader isn’t rejecting her mate. Did you?”

Francemia smiled and shook her head. “Nope. My mate believes I’m human. I want to see if he will still accept me as a human. If he wants me, then he’ll find me. As much as I want a mate, the man has to be worthy of me. I must admit he’s handsome and a good fighter. Damn, I wish I had heard his name.”

Joaquin and Byron are not too far behind the ladies. Bryon's mind is racing about what just happened. “Man, can you explain why you didn’t introduce yourself to your mate?”

“I’ve never been intrigued by anyone before. But that beautiful, delicious-smelling young lady intrigues the hell out of me. I love the fact that she is human and not fearless. Romulus is already talking about pups.” He looks at Bryon. “I'm wondering how familiar she is with our mating process.” He grins lustfully.

“By your big ass smile, I know you’ll find out. Well, let’s go get our queen.” Byron pats Joaquim’s shoulder.

"You got that right, now let's go find my queen." Joaquin shifts into Romulus, running toward neutral territory.

When they enter neutral territory, exhaling cherry and vanilla. “Damn I love her scent," he walks over, pointing at the club sign. "The Crypt Keeper. This is a bar for shifters.”

"Maybe she and her friends have a thing for shifters," said Byron, looking at Joaquin's back.

"Well, she might as well get over that thing. Her ass is mine." Joaquin rushed inside the club, looking and sniffing around until he saw a crowd around the dance floor. “Where is her ass at?” He sniffed, "Whoever the bastard she's dancing with, he's dead man."

Joaquin narrowed his eyes and walked through the crowd looking at his mate and the five women dancing together.

Byron chuckles, "Don't pull a caveman thing."

Joaquin cuts his eyes at Byron and then looks back to his mate. "I'm not making any promises."

Francemia knew he and Bryon were following them because his sexy masculine scent was strong. She looks into his eyes, swaying her hips, running her fingers up and down her body. He's mesmerized by her. He and Romulus want to pick her up and take her out of the club. Neither one likes that other men are lusting over their mate. When she turns her back to him, still swaying her hips, he licks his lips and realizes that his head is moving with her sexy body. “Joaquin wipes his mouth and looks at his damp fingers and mumbles, “Damn I’m drooling.” he wipes the sweat off his forehead. "How can a human know that I'm her mate? Maybe she's just attractive to me." he chuckles. "Nope, her sweet ass knows I'm hers, and she's dancing for me."

"Are you sure? Byron was looking at him.

Joaquin smirked 'Oh hell yeah, I'm sure."

The song ends, and she turns to look at him when two arms slide around her waist. " You know you're mine. I don't know how you know, but you know." He leans close to her ear "I'm not letting you go, gorgeous."

She leans back, looking at him, and runs her fingers through her hair. "Who said I was planning to leave?" Francemia winks at him.

Joaquin swings her around and then pulls her into him, as they start dancing to Honey by Lenny Kravitz starts playing.

My spirit starts to move when I look in your eyes

And I'm shaking, baby, 'cause your spell has got me hypnotized

My heart's beating and it won't stop

My blood's rising straight to the top

When I need you, I can't get enough, oh, yeah

I need your honey, oh, I need your honey

I need your honey, oh, I need your honey (mm)

I need your honey, oh, I need your honey (yeah)

I need your honey, oh, I need your honey

Joaquin and Francemia move their bodies simultaneously. He spins her around until her back is against him, her head lying on his chest as they continue moving their bodies in sync. All eyes are on the couple. Some women roll their eyes at Francemia because they want to be the one that Lycan King Joaquin is interested in. Most of the men clenched their fists because they had set their sights on the beautiful young lady.

Byron walks behind the four women he saw in the woods with his new Queen. He and Balrog sniff and all they smell is human also. He's puzzled as to why they're hanging out in a sifters club instead of the human clubs.

Jenna looks at Starr, Delilah, and Phylicia, "Looks like our leader has her mate. We're not moving." She looked at Starr. "Maybe we can sneak out and get you some late-night barbeque. I'm not helping you find a man."

He wonders what kind of leader the new queen is and why humans need a leader.

Two women are sitting at a table watching the couple dancing. Caleba and Sherilyn are members of Alpha Connor's pack but have tried several times and have requested to become members of the Lycan King pack. After being denied, they asked to meet with the King, and refused to meet with them. Byron told them the Lycan King had made his decision and there wasn't anything to discuss. Joaquin heard their reason and felt their deception. The two women had planned to seduce him. Both women are furious until they inhale the woman's scent and chuckle because Lycan King Joaquin is fascinated with a human.

Alpha Cheng Yo, Dan Vitali, and Joey Stark were sitting at the top of the VIP section. They are laughing because they also smell that Francemia is human. They can't understand after all these centuries why the hardhearted king deserved a weak human. All three men agree that she's gorgeous and has an amazing body.

Alpha Joey, looking at her thigh, sees because of the high split in her skirt. He rubs his chin "I can understand why Joaquin would want to sleep with her stunning ass. Hell, I would. We all would, but that's as far as I would go with her. I would never make her my Luna or breeder."

"She could keep my bed warm anytime. Maybe I'll start a concubinage and make her the first one in my collection." Alpha Dan Vitali looking at Joaquin burying his face in her neck. "I never thought Joaquin to be a stupid man. What is his infatuation with that woman?"

Alpha Cheng Yo taps the table, staring at Joaquin and the woman. He's sure that it's more to Joaquin and the woman. He has known

Joaquin since they were boys and I know that Joaquin isn't the type of man that shows affection to any woman in public. Nor had he ever heard of the Lycan King being in a relationship with anyone. The more he thought about it, he was a little confused. And sure the woman is human and won't benefit Joaquin's kingdom. But he has to admit there's something about her that has sparked his interest. He's looking for Joaquin, the woman, and Beta Byron" Cheng Yo stood up, looking around to make sure he hadn't overlooked them until Dan told him the Lycan King, Beta, that woman, and the four women had left a few minutes ago.

Also, in the club are ten vampires that spotted the five women when they first entered the club. Gregoire was about to join Francemia on the dance floor when he noticed the lustful stare Joaquin was giving her. He and Joaquin's paths have never crossed, but he has heard of the cruel Lycan King. He's the same as everyone else who is wondering why Joaquin wants a human. He was brought out of his thoughts when Melvil patted his shoulder.

"What do you think that was about? We have been tracking Francemia since she was eighteen. This is the closest we have gotten to her and her friends. Who was that man she was dancing with?" Melvil held his empty glass up to the waitress.

Gregoire shook his head. "Hell if I know why she's with that bastard. That was Lycan King Joaquin Gonzalez in the flesh. He must want something from her. But what?"

"Maybe it's the same thing you want from her. Which we all still don't know because you have told us. Why do you want that human?" Melvil winks at the waitress as she puts his drink on the table.

"Beauty, pure beauty." Gregoire smiled. " The first time I saw Francemia Deveraux was at the Grand National Derby in Great Britain. She was with a couple. I took it to be her parents, but later on, I learned the couple wasn't related to her. They have been her guardians since she was eight. Her parents were killed. I haven't been able to discover the cause of their deaths. That young lady is very intelligent, especially for a human. She went to the prom with an i***t. I was about to kill the young man until I heard Francemia thank him for being the best big brother to her. Anyway, on her eighteenth birthday, I was ready to court her, but she was gone and so were her guardians. We have always been a step or two behind her and her friends. What makes Kinghaven different from other places?" He gave Melvil a stern stare. "If it's the Lycan King, then I'll have to make sure he doesn't exist much longer."
