THE CEO ALPHA KING
Writer's POV
Serena found herself being pulled towards the king by one of the guards, of course they would fear for their great King. They all thought the same thing, I might have poisoned the Alpha.
She let them, because after all, she hadn't done anything wrong. They watched as the Alpha poured a quantity of the coffee into another cup before offering her to drink.
Was he seriously not going to trust her words?
"Drink." He ordered, leaning against the chair and offering her a smirk.
She leaned forward with shaky hands grabbing the cup and taking a sip out of it.
She knew she shouldn't be shaking but she couldn't help it, despite being innocent. As she drank the rest of the content, she could feel his amused eyes watching her deeply.
She pulled away the cup from her lips to see the smirk still visible in his face as he rested deeply into the chair.
There was something powerful in the way he stared at her and she couldn't help but shiver, rubbing her arms in fear of what might happen next.
After waiting for more than ten minutes with nothing happening, the Alpha took his cup to his lips once more, but Adam, his Beta interrupted before he could take another sip.
"Your Highness, what if the coffee is truly poisoned and is set to kill slowly?" He asked and Serena resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
"Then she'll be dying first." The King replied cockily, his eyes sparking with amusement as a deep chuckle reverberated from his chest.
This was the first time she saw him chuckle and it did him really good as his grey eyes sparkled with interest.
He took another sip, and satisfaction crossed his face before he downed the rest of the drink before dropping the cup on the table.
One of the men set out to clear it up but he dismissed him with a wave of his hand.
"Let her do it." He said, his piercing gaze not once leaving Serena who wanted to run and hide from those cold grey eyes.
With shaky legs, she reached for the cup and saucer, before bowing slightly and turning away, heading for the kitchen. All the way, she could feel the Alpha's intense stare boring holes into her back.
Surprisingly, she met another female servant there who beamed at her. Her heart fluttered, happy that at least this one wasn't meant like the others.
"I'll take it from here." The lady said, taking the cup from her. She scented that the person was human. How odd.
After taking the cup from her, the lady didn't move back. Instead she locked her gaze with Serena as if trying to see deep into her soul and Serena started to feel uncomfortable.
It wasn't until Serena took a cautious step back she turned away, heading to the sink to wash the cup, humming to a rhythm she could hardly recognise.
She stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do next, either to help her out or just leave.
"Serena." She heard Adam call to her and quickly left the kitchen to meet him.
She followed him out of the kitchen, back to the dinning. The Alpha wasn't there but his scent lingered.
"Sit down." Adam ordered before bringing out a note. He placed it in front of Serena as she sat in front of him.
"You are to read and understand the rules guarding this castle and you are not to break them." Adam said.
Rules? Serena almost asked but Adam spoke again.
"The three most important rules are. One, once you see the king, you must show your respect to him. I see that you don't know how to acknowledge your King and I wonder why he lets you go for that.
"Not acknowledging your king is a serious offense. Your mouth could be sealed forever since you don't know how to use it properly."
His words shook Serena to the core and she nodded respectfully. Of course she didn't know how to acknowledge the King because she was always frozen in fear. This was the first time she was ever encountering an Alpha.
She was usually frozen in fear or ready to spew out rubbish that could get her in trouble.
"The second rule is that you must not stare directly at the king whether he is speaking to you or not. He is not your mate, he is over a century old if you are not aware of that." Adam said, eyeing Serena whose jaw just dropped to the floor.
Over a century? He was that old?
She knew that he was far older than that. And news about him circled around the community about how he murdered an entire family years ago long before she was born. How he had extra powers, powerful ones that could kill hundreds of wolves at a time.
She guessed the rumors were true then, he was truly terrifying and she started to regret ever making him angry.
"And lastly, you must not get on his nerves. You mustn't anger the king as angering him will only get you killed. And not only you, It will get hundreds of innocent people killed. Do you get that?" Adam asked sternly, breaking her train of thought as she widened her eyes at his words.
"Ye..yes, I understand." She finally nodded in fear.
"Now, you should study the rest of the rules guarding the castle if you want to live long. Also learn how to control your fears, keep them at bay as they will only get you into deep trouble which will cause your life or more."
"Yes. Yes," Serena answered and Adam offered her a smirk.
"Good." He stood. "So, tomorrow, very early. You will start your duty as the king's slave."
"A slave is very different from a servant. The king might order you to move over here to his castle because you are his slave. A slave can be demanded to do anything."
"For example, satisfying her master's sexual needs. Arranging his bed every morning and night, dressing him up before he leaves for an important event." Adam smiled at Serena's discomfort.
Sexual desires? She froze. She couldn't do that! No way!
"You can meet Grandma Felicia to explain the rest to you. You can leave now, you'll come back very early tomorrow before 6.00am." Adam concluded, before offering her a dashing smile and leaving the dinning.
Satisfying the king's sexual needs?
She stood up, thinking about it when she saw a figure waiting outside the door for her. It was Charles and they both walked in silence, thoughts of pleasing the Alpha rang in her head.
"Let's go, I'll take you back to your room." He said coldly after a while and she thought she got confused by the similar hallways and doors, they finally arrived at her room.
He started leaving and Serena followed him from behind. They walked quietly until they got to her room. It was hard identifying which one was hers but Charles did it.
"Thank you." She muttered, opening her door and walking in. Just as she was about to close it Charles's voice stopped her.
"Look Serena or whatever your name is. You gotta control your fears whenever you are around the king so you won't end up dying just like his last slave did. I'm not saying this because I like you. I simply don't want to witness anymore cruelty from the king." He said, and for the first time she found out through his scent that he was an Omega. But she knew he was strong.
And she discovered that anger rolled off him when he spoke of the Alpha. Had the alpha hurt him in the past, he didn't wait for her to reply as he walked down the corridor. Leaving Serena with a hundred questions running through her mind.
She went to her bed, deciding not to bathe tonight as she thought of what Adam had said. She remembered the piece of paper that contained the rules. But deciding not to read them tonight as sleep started to overtake her, she quickly set her alarm for 5:30am.
As she covered her body, taking one of the pillows and clinging unto it, her mind drifted off to her sister and stepfather.

A sound alarm woke Serena as she groaned, picking up the phone and shutting off the sound. She almost went back to sleep but Adam's words resonated in her ears.
Immediately, she shot up from the bed, opening her eyes to see it was 5:46am already.
"Shit!" She cussed, running to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face before changing out of her yesterday's clothes and running out of the room in a loose fitting gown.
"Fuck!" She said as she bumped into Isaac who had been standing in front of her door.
"I was waiting for you." He said, taking out his hand from his pocket.
"Oh."
"Let's go, it's almost time. The king will soon wake up." He said, walking off leaving Serena to follow behind him.
When they got to the mini mansion she saw the Betas standing at the door and wondered if they slept at all.
The whole castle was already busy with servants running here and there going about their duties for the day.
"Matt, you can take her from here." Isaac said to a guy who was very muscular. He was a werewolf with an eternal scowl on his face.
"Follow me." He ordered Serena who jerked at his rough voice.
"I'll see you later, love." Isaac winked at her, urging her to follow Matt. She did.
They walked in an awkward silence up the stairs and came to a huge hallway. There were two guards standing just outside the only door. And she figured it was the King's room.
"Is he awake?" She heard Matt ask one of the guards who shook his head.
A sigh of relief escaped her lips. She was early.
"Ok, I'll leave her with you." Matt said, glancing briefly at Serena before walking off without another word.
No word of advice?
She turned back to the guards who stood at their post, their eyes ahead as they paid no mind to her. As she rested on the wall, she started to hear movement from the Alpha's room
"He is awake." One of the guards whispered to the other and she shifted uncomfortably, not knowing what to do.
The door opened immediately and the guards bowed in submission.
"Morning your Highness." They both chorused.
Feeling nervous, she bowed also and mumbled a 'good morning' too. And just like last night, her knees buckled as they hit the floor.
She knew he had done that, making her submit to him and since he didn't do the same for his guards she could only guess it was because of his hatred for the female gender.
It was a warning to her that he was superior over her.
He left his door opened and went back to his room totally ignoring them.
The two guards straightened back up and glanced at Serena who was already rising to her feet.
"What?" She asked suspiciously.
"Go on in." One of them said and she gulped visibly before stepping into the room of the Alpha King silently praying she did nothing wrong.
T B C Chapter 7: The King's personal slave
THE CEO ALPHA KING
Writer's POV
Serena walked into the large bedroom of the king and couldn't help but admire its beauty. Just like hers, there was a huge king sized bed at the center of the room, a door at the right to a walk-in closet whose door was opened to reveal rows of suits.
Huge silk drapes fell from the high windows, blocking out the morning sun. A working table was just at the left side of the room in front of a shelf that ran from one end to the other of the room.
Everything was mostly in shades of black or gray, just like his cars and she didn't need anyone to tell her those were the Alpha's favourite colours.
She heard the door shut behind her and all excitement died down as she remembered why she was even here in the first place.
Her eyes found the Alpha who had stood, watching her admire his room with silent amusement
But his eyes potrayed no emotions, they were such a cold shade of grey. They held power and danger so she looked away.
"Go prepare my bath." He ordered, walking to his working table, ignoring her once more.
She quickly ran in the opposite direction, towards the door. As usual, the bathroom was huge with a big bathtub and two shower heads. She found his various bath gels and picked the lavender.
When she finished, she left the bathroom and went back to the room.
"Your Highness." She started but he interjected.
"You are not my subject. You are just my slave. I am your master and not your King." He said sharply and she dropped her gaze in submission, nodding slightly.
The sound of removing clothes brought her attention back to him and she looked up to see he was undressing in front of her!
She watched as he took off the bed shirt, letting it drop to the floor, exposing his abs. She blushed, looking away quickly, her cheeks tainting red.
His skin was so pale and it glittered under the chandelier. She peeked at him once more, noticing his strong arms and wide chest. She looked away as soon as he started pulling at his shorts.
She heard it drop to the floor, and her ears turned red. He was naked!
She fondles with her fingers, eyes on the floor and not knowing what to do as she stands there awkwardly.
"Grab me a towel." He ordered, and she ran quickly to the bathroom and took his towel before going back to him. Her eyes fell to the floor as she extended her hand to him. Her eyes quickly ran down his lower body.
A gasp escaped her lips and she blushed harder than before. Boy! Was he big down there.
He was powerful in all areas! She thought.
He took the towel and she stepped back, he tied it around his waist and she finally looked up at him. He was glaring at her, before looking away and waking to the bathroom, leaving her in silent admiration of his back. They flexed as he walked.
He soon disappeared into the bathroom and a wave of disappointment flushed over her.
"What are you doing standing there?" A powerful voice sounded in her head and she gasped in shock.
That wasn't her wolf, she had no connection with it. It was the Alpha! That voice was authoritative and powerful. And if she hadn't seen the Alpha enter the bathroom she would have thought he was speaking to her right here.
Though Serena knew werewolves could telepath, she had never once experienced it before as it was mostly common with high ranked wolves.
"Get in here!" He shouted over her head this time and she was almost tempted to yell in fear. Instead she ran to the bathroom, seeing him sitting in the bathtub. The towel was gone, and his naked frame sat in the tub.
"Wash my hair, and be quick about that."He ordered again, his lips still not moving. She shivered, grabbed the shampoo, and poured a little over his head.
She went into the bathtub, feeling the cold water hit her feet and legs. His dominating aura made her shiver a little but a little groan from him made her act quickly.
She reached for his hair, and stopped, expecting him to yell or flinch at her touch. But there was no response from him so she started to run her fingers through it.
His hair was softer than it looked, silky as it ran freely across her fingers.
She scooped up water from the tub, and poured it over his hair and started scrubbing it once more. She thought she heard him sigh in relief and she relaxed a little, finally happy she was getting this right.
Because the last thing she wanted to do was to make him angry so early in the morning.
After she was done, she reached for the shower head, turning it on and rinsing off the soap from his head. She sighed in relief as she started to rise, her work finished.
"Wash me." His deep voice echoed through the bathroom walls, stopping her in her tracks.
She flushed red. Bath him?! She started to chew at her bottom lip.
"After that then you can do what you intend."
No. No. I couldn't do this. What if?! She started to shake her head, dispersing all bad thoughts from clouding her mind.
"Did you not read the rules?" He asked, breaking her train of thought. "You should know what and what not you are supposed to do by now. Or should I elaborate further?" He turned to glare at her.
She gulped, shaking her head. "No, master. I know the rules." She lied through gritted teeth.
He said nothing and stood in all his glory, towering above her. She blushed, looking away quickly to pick up the sponge and soap.
She was scared scrubbing him down, her touch not lingering on sensitive body parts, her eyes lowered in submission.
She pulled away to get more soap when she slipped a little and he grabbed her just before she could fall on the bathroom tub. She exhaled deeply and continued.
After washing him and drying him off, she reached for his towel and dried him off as quick as possible before he walked out to his room to get dressed.
She followed him out, noticing an outfit had been brought out for him and was laying in the bed. He ignored it, waking to his mirror and standing just in front of it before sitting down. His hair dripped down his back trailing inside his towel wrapped around him.
She went to him, not waiting to be told to dry off his hair. Finding the hair dryer, she plugged it and got to work.
Once his hair was dry, she combed it and applied a hair cream on it, the scent of all his products were amazing.
He stood up when she was done, grabbing his clothes and getting dressed in a black suit. Serena was a little relieved and disappointed that he hadn't requested her help.
As she watched him, she couldn't help but notice how totally strong he looked. His parents must have been extremely powerful for him to inherit such power.
Something flashed in her mind and she started to grow conscious. If he was so powerful to infiltrate her mind and speak to her, couldn't it be possible that he could also hear her thoughts?
She glanced at him as he put on his shirt paying no mind to her. Even if he did read her mind there was no sign that he did.
As she stood there awkwardly, she wondered what else she should do. If she was already done with her job why wasn't he sending her away? Am I not done here? Please I wanna leave before I suffocate here, she thought to herself. She started to feel the surge of his power, suppressing her and she shifted from one foot to another having no thoughts to distract her from his overwhelming aura.
She started to feel uncomfortable as she looked up to see him staring at her. She coughed awkwardly, and he took a step closer to her.
What was happening? Why has she done this time? She wanted to ask but couldn't find it in her mouth to move.
And as usual, his superiority showed, bringing her to her knees once more, tears started to glitter around her eyes.
"Really? You feel like suffocating here. Being around me is scary, isn't it?" He asked, voicing out her thoughts. She gasped in surprise, she was right. He could hear her thoughts!
Serena could only gasp. She couldn't utter a sound. It was as if the power to speak has been taken away from her.
Her hand went to her throat and she held her throat. She can't believe she is choking on nothing but she is really choking. She is losing her breath and might pass out at any moment.
No! She might even die.
"Answer me!" He thundered at her and she abruptly stopped choking. He might have released his hold on her throat however he did it.
"No! No master! I'm so sorry," she apologized with her head hitting the cold floor.
She became so scared.
What had she done? What thought crossed her mind that he had read and gotten pissed?
He took a step closer to her and she was half tempted to scuff away, but she felt too weak to move. Too tired and she could only whimper in fear as he drew closer.
"Next time, you should know your place. Control your silly thoughts little wolf." He emphasised every word before glaring once more at her then walking off leaving her alone in tears and on the floor.
She shivered in fear as the thoughts of what she might have done wrong flashed across her face. Thoughts on how he could have done anything to hurt her more than he did. He could have killed her if he chose and there was nothing anyone could do about it.
She felt something tickling her nose and took her fingers to it, drops of blood touched her fingers and she gasped at the sight of it.
Rising to her feet immediately, she ran to the mirror, noticing blood stains all over her dress.
Panic struck her as she sprinted to the bathroom to wash it off but it kept flowing and worse of all, she couldn't feel any pain. So why was she bleeding so randomly?
She ran out of the Alpha's chambers leaving a tissue paper over her nose so she did not stain the floors. The guards didn't utter a word to her, and for that she was grateful. She just couldn't talk to anyone right now.
She couldn't stay here any longer, the Alpha's aura was suppressing her too much and she needed to get away.
But leaving the castle back to the mini mansion was harder than she thought. With familiar hallways, art works and rooms she was lost and soon came to the kitchen, not once seeing the entrance door.
She stopped in her tracks when she saw a familiar figure in the kitchen. It was the girl from yesterday, the human who had been staring awkwardly at her.
"Hey." The human called out, flashing her a dimpled smile.
"Hi, please can you help me get back to the mini mansion?" Serena wasted no time in asking, not wanting to spend another minute in the frightening castle.
"Of course. My name is Emi." She smiled softly and extended her hand to Serena who took it too quickly and looked around, desperate to leave.
"I'm Serena." She replied, forcing a smile on her face and she shook Emi's hand.
"Nice meeting you sexy. Now, let me help you. But you'll owe me one." Emi winked, leading the way out of the kitchen but Serena didn't mind, all that filled her mind was the thought of finally leaving this place.
