Gregoire lets out a loud growl still staring the Francemia and Joaquin on TV. Everyone in the diner stares at him. He growls again and his light blue eyes are turning navy blue while fighting with Draco his wolf from surfacing. Melvil and Ne-Yo are talking to him to calm him down. Gregoire's breathing hard, jumps up, walking to the TV with his eyes locked on Joaquin. Everyone in the diner is stepping away from the TV giving him space.
“We need to get him the hell out of here.” Ne-Yo cut his eyes at Melvil.
Melvil’s biting his nail “s**t this isn’t good. I know but if we try Draco might surface and go on a killing spree in here.” He looks around the diner.
“Your ass better do something “ Ne-Yo looks out the window at humans walking around.
Melvil mumbled to himself to give his nerves up to approach Gregoire. The last time this happened to Gregorie and Draco was when Francemia first disappeared. "Okay, I got this. Shi,t I hope I do” He walks behind. ‘Man we need to leave.”
Gregorie's head snaps “I’m not leaving Kinghaven without her. I’ve come too damn far to leave now.”
Ne-Yo is looking at a man on the telephone talking to someone telling them what’s happening. He walks beside Melvil. “Man hurry up I have a feeling we’re about to have company.”
Gregorie growls again looking around at the customers and closes his talking to Draco about ways to kill the Lycan King.
“What the hell do you think I'm trying to do? You try if you believe you can do better. Company? Who?” Melvil yells.
“Me asshole.” Joaquin enters the diner treeing Gregorie.
Everyone in the diner looks at the Lycan King walking over to Gregorie with Riggins and Byron walking behind him. Happy the owner was the one that called Joaquin now he's praying his diner won't be destroyed. His wife Rowanda puts glass cake plates under the counter and reaches for a crystal vase, but stops when she remembers that it's fake.
Gregorie opens his eyes. “Lycan King Joaquin Gonzalez, you have someone that I have been searching for a long time. And I want her.”
Joaquin circles him “Francemia is my mate, my Queen. The Moon Goddess designed her for me and no f*****g body will have her. If you want to keep being delusional and believe that Francemia is yours then get ready to meet your damn maker. Because I’ll send your ass home and that's straight to hell. That was me being nice. I guarantee you don't want to see," He smirks " I'll just say the the not so nice side of me,"
"The Moon Goddess may have designed Francemia for you But I’m the one who has been watching over her. Reject her." Gregorie points at Joaquin
Ne-Yo and Melvil look at each other confused. Then looks at Gregorie wondering when have he been watching over her when he didn't know where she was.
Byron and Riggins's attention goes to the two men who are standing behind Greogiore. They know that being told to reject Francemia isn't setting well with Joaquin. Maybe they will have to kill the three men and the other men that are sitting behind them staring at them and Joaquin.
“You say you have been watching over her. You're a lying ass bastard. My Queen just informed me that she doesn’t know you and doesn’t want to know your scheming ass. Gregorie until today you didn’t know where she was. Rejecting Francemia won’t ever happen. This is the last warning your deceitful ass out of Kinghaven before you don’t have an ass.” Joaquin grabs Gregorie's neck with one hand lifting him off the floor while choking him. "I'm still being nice." He tightened his hold on Gregorie.
Gregorie hits Joaquin's hand but every time he hits Joaquin's hand only makes Joaquin squeeze his neck harder. When Joaquin is about to snap Greogorie's neck the door and Joaquin drops him to the floor because of the two humans that came into the diner. He looks down at Grogiore "Next time, will be our last altercation. Damn, you're one lucky bastard." Joaquin looks at Melvil and Ne-yo. 'When whatever this lying fucker catches his breath I want every last one of you out of Kinghaven."
"Bastard," Grogorie says while gasping for air.
Joaquin looks down at him "Maybe I am if you come after my mate. I'll be the last bastard you see,"
Gregorie looked at Joaquin thinking, "This bullshit won't happen again."
The elderly human couple takes a seat looking at them. "Dang I thought we were going to see a fight." The old man looking at Joaquin, Riggins, and Byron leaving the diner.
Across the street, Alpha Cheng Yo, Dan Vitali, and Joey Stark are at a tavern where they have watched the Lycan King Joaquin’s announcement. And laughs because the Moon Goddess mated him with a human.
Joey repeats that he would sleep with Francemia but never mate or have a half-breed pup with her. Dan doesn’t want anything to do with Francemia sexually, but he would love to add her to his collection because of her beauty and maybe she could be his maid.
"Those fools were cheering and celebrating because the Luycan King finally had a mate. I would love to be there when they discover she's human. A worthless human. Joaquin thinks he's slick, he left that information about her out." Dan holds a bottle of beer up toward the waitress and holds up three fingers.
Cheng might have been laughing on the outside, but he was not on the inside. He’s thinking back to the night he saw Joaquin and her together. “As arrogant as Joaquin is he wouldn’t be happy with a human. No there must be something we’re missing.”
"Speaking of the bastard there he is now." Joey points out the window at Joaquin.
Cheng looks at Joaquin wondering why he left his mate after announcing her to everyone. A few seconds later he sees thirteen men walking out of the diner looking at Joaquin, Byron, and Riggins. Joaquin points at the men.
“They were at the club the other night. I asked around about them and came up empty, I thought they had left. Whoever they are they seem to have ticked Joaquin off.” Dan looks at the two men pushing a man to the car.
Melvil and Ne-Yo tell Gregoire to leave and they’ll come back another day for her. But he’s refusing to leave saying Francemia is his. Melvil agrees that she’s his but they need to come up with a plan to get her away from the Lycan King.
Ne-yo frowns thinking, "Why do you keep filling his head with lies."
“Okay, you’re. Right.” Gregorie mumbles, opening the car door. He looks back at Joaquin thinking. “Muther fucker you’ll see me soon. Francemia will be mine.” He gets in the car and closes the door.
Joaquin walks toward the front of the car, "Keep thinking that bullshit." He kicked the car and it flew back into a street light pole.
Riggins and Byron Walk on each side of Joaquin and pat his shoulder.
“Son of b***h. He’s one lying ass asshole. I’ll get my chance to kill his lusting ass. If those humans wouldn't have come in when they did his ass would be dead right now.” Joaquin looked at the crowd that gathered around the car.
In the tavern, Cheng is now determined to find out who the men are that have crossed Joaquin and the reason. He smelt the men when they had walked out of the diner and knew they weren’t rogues.
