The Kings Series #1 His Beauty Queen

He growled and snarled savagely as he ran through the dark forest. In his Lycan form, his blazing black and red eyes can easily pierce through the darkness. His massive paws thundered through the hard earth, dodging fallen logs and jumping on streams and riverbanks. They were on the hunt for the rogues and clanless vampires that banded together, killing two pups and resting members of a vampire clan.

Earlier today they had found a mole hiding in plain sight. He acted like a grieving servant. Very cooperative. Trusted by the clan leader. He didn't know they were observing him. His heartbeat, his breathing, his eyes, and his scent.

A caretaker was supposed to guard a vampire when resting during the day. The fucktard betrayed his master for gold.

Xavier made short work of the traitor, draining him of his blood to find out the whereabouts of his accomplices then decapitating him. His friend had become restless, ruthless, and uncontrollable over the years. Just like him before he met Anna. Only the Vampire King's beloved can tame him now.

Xavier suddenly halted. The fucker ran like the wind. Almost floating. Alexander halted beside him. In his full gigantic Lycan form, he towered over everyone. His fur pitch black and his eyes would be the cause of nightmares. To anyone. Sharp fangs glinting in the night. He peered down, the vampire king was assessing the forest.

He sniffed the dense atmosphere and snarled. So close. Approximately two miles from the compound.

"My men and I will take the rear of the hideout." Xavier murmured quietly knowing that with his werewolf senses, he can hear him easily.

Beta, prepare the warriors. We are covering the front. Make sure to cover at least a one-mile radius, so no one could escape. Kill anyone that crosses your path. Leave the leaders to us.

No problem, sire.

Ok. On my command. He waited for them to go into position. Xavier and his men were at the south end, ready to attack. Now!

Stay with me, beta. We are going in.

They attacked the filthy compound like a blur. The enemies didn't know what hit them until it was too late.

He can hear grunting and screaming around him. Their men moved with precision, stealthily killing the miscreants. In a matter of minutes, they took command of the territory.

What they uncovered was far worse than they imagined. These people were experimenting with vampire and werewolf blood. The place was a fucking laboratory. Drugs of all kinds were everywhere.

He transformed into his human form. Uncaring of his nudity and the blood covering his body. He glared at their captives tied to a post. He smelled piss and fear. Lips curled in a cruel smile, his stormy gray eyes flashing.

His eyes darted to Xavier, he was no better. In his vampire beast, he looked demonic. Red gleaming eyes, nails as sharp as knives, his hair and upper body covered in blood. Dripping on the cold earth. They made a formidable team. How he wish the other kings were here to complete the group.

He stalked their prey, trying to decide which one to kill first. "Do you want to do the honors, Xavier?"

"Nah. I'll watch. For now." Alexander shrugged; turned his attention to the captives and selected the largest one glaring at him. "Show off." Xavier hissed. Amused.

"I think you know what will happen.” The Lycan King addressed the captive.

"Fuck you,!"

"No thanks asshole.” He approached him deliberately. Stalking his quarry. The rogue struggled against the silver chains. "Tell me what you know and I will grant you a swift death. Otherwise, I will break every bone in your body for each lie you spew." His voice was relaxed and even. Too even. Diction precise hinting at absolute control. For the moment.

"You don't know what you are dealing with, Lycan king. This is just the tip of the iceberg.” He broke the arm before him and tug, the man screamed in pain.

"Shhh, you are giving me a headache.”

"Fuck you! I won't tell you anything!" He broke his other arm and glanced at Xavier. He looked bored.

"Can't you just drink their blood?" He prodded.

"Nope. Too filthy for me, man. Sorry. Just continue what you are doing.” He rolled his eyes. His friend expected to be entertained and certainly enjoyed this.

"Are you done whining like a pup?" He arched his brow. Losing patience. Damnation! He had a beautiful mate to go home to.

"1 won't...tell you anything.” I dislocated his shoulder blade, then his calves. He almost fainted from the trauma. Tough dude.

"I could do this all day, you know.” He murmured at the same time he looked around and conveyed to the other captives trembling in fear.

"We are being funded by one of your officials. We don't know his name. He sends us cash.” He focused his attention on the man who blurted out the information.

"Do you have records of the transactions?" Goddess. He hoped so.

"He sends in cash and he emails us from time to time." The man offered and hope reflected in his eyes.

He pursed his lips thoughtfully. The prisoner was truthful enough.

Beta gather all their computers, laptops, cell phone and all the gadgets you can find. We will have our hackers examine them.

The injured man with broken bones laughed despite being in pain. "I told you we don't know anything but we do know you have found a beautiful mate.” He licked his lips suggestively. Alexander roared. Shifting into his Lycan in rage and was in front of the asshole in an instant, his black claws around his neck, raising him like a ragged doll from the ground. The fucker pissed in fear. He yanked his limbs from his body, blood-spewing on his fellow captives, making them scream in terror. Then right in front of them, he twisted the body in half, separating the spine, his innards spilled on the ground.

"Oh, shit!" He heard Xavier mumble. "Note to self, never mention his mate."He smirked.

Beta call our mates now!

He was too agitated to shift back to his human form. Instinct was urging him to go home and protect his mate. He kept pacing the floor and snarling at the captives who were cowering in fear. "If anyone of you knows anything else, speak now!" Xavier commanded lazily. Inspecting his nails. "That's...that's...all we know, vampire king." Their tears-stained eyes kept staring at the blood dripping from the Lycan's fur.

"Hey! Eyes on me. I am dangerous too.” The Vampire smiled evilly. His fangs gleaming, eyes bloody red. He sliced their cheeks with his sharp nails, tasting their blood. "Yuck!" He gagged. "It tastes like fucking poison!" He shrugged off his complaint. He smirked nodding at Alexander.

"That's all they know. Henry, alpha DuBois. You can kill them now." He waved.

Michael

"Hey, baby. You good?" She giggled at his voice. Goddess, he was so relieved to hear her happy and in high spirits.

"Yes, my love. We're home from our shopping trip. But I think I've exhausted Anna. But she is resting now. Why? Is everything fine?" Worry laced her voice from his heavy sigh.

"Everything is perfect, now that I am talking to you. Baby, make sure you always have your security team when you and our queen go out, ok? Please. I miss you so much. I will see you on Saturday.” He couldn't wait to go home. He had never seen the king lose control like that. He knew exactly what he felt.

"I promise, my love. I miss you." Michael smiled for the first time since attacking the enemies.

"I love you so much, baby. I have to go. Stay safe.” He reluctantly ended the call. Missing her already. Goddess, this feeling will never grow old. He guarded his expression and faced his men. "Search every bunker, bring all the gadgets you can find. Let the bomb squad sweep the area first before you do that." The leader bobbed his head. Not looking him in the eyes. He knew his wolf was near the surface, showing dominance.

"At once, my lord!" He inwardly sighed. From what he heard this was just the beginning. What he had seen earlier confirmed that his king was prepared to go to war for his Luna. They should be ready. He made a mental note to commence vigorous training upon returning home.

"Sire, the Queen Luna is resting. She's with my mate.” Alexander grunted in response. Taking in deep calming breaths so he could switch back to his human form. It never failed to amaze him to see his Lycan. He saw him take on fifty men without even sweating. He nodded in approval when his fur finally retracted. At last.

He turned, sensing Oliver. "The men are loading the SUVs. We also burned the dead bodies. We are done here."

"You guys take the SUVs, it's almost dawn. We will run in our wolf form.” He inclined his head, signaling his men to follow him.

Alexander

"Congratulations, King Alexander. King Xavier. You did us proud of your accomplishments.” The man reek of fake enthusiasm. Xavier stoically stared at him, not saying anything. The councilman flinched. "Celebrating is futile. We have yet to catch and kill their master." He responded --face unreadable, voice menacing.

"I think it's time for me to revisit my clans, seeing as I am reawakened," Xavier stated.

Alexander noticed Victor's face was blanked, not giving away anything. The other members all shake their heads in approval.

"Since this matter has been satisfactorily resolved, I will be leaving tonight. My mate needs me." He brushed the invisible flint in his black coat and the relief on Victor's face was a telltale sign. Interesting.

"And I will go back to Russia where it is cold and gloomy." He smiled faintly at Xavier's response. "You should retire to your estate in New York, man." The big apple was the capital of all the realms. "I will. When I find my beloved. noka mMbl He BCTpeTuMcs cHOBa MOA Apyr.”

(until we meet again, my friend)

He lifted his chin.

"yBUAMMCA(See you soon), Xavier. Mother, Father.” He paid his respect to his parents before ending the conference call.

He followed Xavier out of the clan's chateau. "Need a lift home, my friend?" He offered.

He snorted. Feeling almost insulted.

"You are not the only rich king in the realm, Alexander.” He chuckled. "Reach me on a secure line when you have the result.”

"I will." He inclined his head once more before walking towards his waiting Mercedes-Benz. Old school shit!

"See you when I see you, my friend.” He saluted him before entering his SUV. Goddess. He was so excited to be home. He missed Anna so much. He will be returning earlier than expected and joining her in bed before she woke up. His cock twitched at the thought.

Yes. We need to fuck mate. We need pups!

And there he goes again.

Author's Notes

Ehem. Next chapter will have mature themes. So you know the drill.
