The Lycan King

Kai

A sleek Maybach silently drives through the bustling streets. The soundproof glass blocks away all the sounds of the human world enabling him to work in peace. Sitting at the back of the car is a man in his early thirties, holding a file. His long, elegant fingers slowly turn the pages.

“Your Majesty, are you sure the vampires will attack the club tonight?” the driver asks him. “The informer may have given the information, but it seems highly unlikely.”

The man shuts the file and contemplates hard. Even in the darkness of the car, his presence commands attention. His rugged allure can make anyone spellbound with passion and lust while his piercing golden eyes can decipher anything with one glance. His perfectly tailored suit highlights his muscular build and his envious toned physique adds to his devilish charm.

His meticulously styled dark blonde hair is parted to the left, giving him a manly allure. He stays still as he thinks hard, looking like an Adonis statue. The solitude of the car cannot answer the complex questions he’s pondering on, but his poise is blended with enigma and an air of mystery. His golden ring is pierced right above his eyebrow, further adding to his seductive aura.

“Were we mistaken?” He asks in a low baritone. “Or is it a trap?”

They reach the club but the car circles the building to enter through the VIP car park. Several guards salute the man as he steps out of the car. He slightly sniffs the air.

There are no vampires here, he deduces. The information was wrong.

Shaking his head, he’s about to leave but one of the guards approaches him.

“Mr. Kai Vronsky,” he begins. “Our boss wants to take this opportunity to meet with you regarding a business proposition.”

“Tell him it can wait,” Kai says in a cold tone.

“Sir, please! It’ll be a short meeting. He’s really desperate to save the club and-”

Kai’s steely gaze shuts him up. For years the club’s owner has been trying to meet him personally and every time, Kai rejects him. He has no business with humans unless it suits him.

His driver, Harper Henderson, quickly approaches Kai.

“Your majesty, the vampires may not be here now but they might arrive any moment,” he whispers. “We shouldn’t leave right away.”

Kai mulls over this. Henderson is right. The vampires might attack later and they’ll have to be prepared for it. He checks his watch.

It’s nearly 12 AM. Maybe he should wait and see what happens.

“Alright,” he nods. “I’ll meet with your boss.”

The guards look relieved and escort him inside. The club is packed with people either drinking or dancing. Some are kissing and vigorously making out in secluded corners. The music is too loud and the humans are crazily swaying to it. Kai blocks out the boisterous noises but is alert for any vampire which may be lurking. He can’t smell their foul smell anywhere at the moment but vampires are unpredictable. Moreover, if any of the humans have been bitten then they may be in the process of turning into one. Unless they turn into a complete vampire, it’ll be impossible to distinguish between a human and the creature of the dark.

He’s led to the owner’s office. The owner is a stoic, cheerful old man who welcomes Kai to his workplace. Kai sits and listens to the man patiently as he goes on and on about a profitable deal they can make. He knows the deal won’t be profitable at all but he extends his cool politeness to the man.

After an hour, the man finally says, “Would you like to have a drink before leaving? I’ll treat you to my finest malt!”

“That is alright,” Kai says in a formal tone. “I’ll be off. We have an important meeting in the morning. Send the proposal to my office and we’ll discuss it soon.”

He slightly bows his head and leaves the office. Once he reaches the stairs leading to the crowded bar, he calls his beta, Jayden Henver.

“Your Majesty!” Jayden greets him. “Did you find the vampires?”

“They’re not here,” Kai states. “We were given the wrong information. I suspect the so-called informer is working as a double agent to distract us. Keep an eye on him and-”

A light breeze brushes against him as a sweet scent swirls him. It smells like sweet strawberries with a hint of honey, an almost homely aroma which is making him go crazy. The beast inside him is howling, desperately aching to follow the scent.

“Mate!” he mutters.

Kai grins. After all these years, he finally found his mate. For a long time, he waited for her and now, he found her. His wolf is crying and howling in joy. 

The Lycan King finally found his Queen.

Kai follows the scent, trying to calm the manic madness in him. He finally spots her near the bar, drinking. For a moment, he stares at her in astonishment.

The chaotic noises are dimmed out by her tranquil beauty which captivates the heart of anyone who glances at her. Under the dimly lit ambience of the bar, she’s the vision of elegance. She’s sitting gracefully on the bar stool with an emanating aura. Her long dark hair cascades around her pearly skin in loose waves. The soft lights fall on her, creating an enchanting sensation which can make anyone crazy.

But he can’t help staring at those eyes. Those mesmerizing eyes. Her one deep hazel eye holds warmth and kindness while her other eye is a passionate shade of green, as if alluding to her quiet determination. Her high cheekbones and delicate jawline gives her an innocent charm. She slowly takes a long sip from her glass as she smiles radiantly.

A human? He wonders. He can’t sense any wolf in her but he frowns when he smells something else. It’s faint, almost negligible to normal werewolves but to himself. He can’t pinpoint what it is but something tells him that this girl is not an ordinary human.

And he must not let her go.
