Chapter 5: In the king's castle
THE CEO ALPHA KING
Writer's P O V
The kitchen Isaac led her into was bigger than her whole apartment put together. With machines, and utensils around that she could barely recognize, it was all overwhelming.
She hadn't even realized she was way behind Isaac admiring everything around her until she heard his voice from ahead of her.
"Come on now, go on to the dinning." He was saying to four ladies and two guys who wore matching uniforms and appeared like maids or kitchen assistants.
She noticed that the ladies had their eyes fixed on her as she was new in the kitchen. She suddenly started to feel out of place.
But none of them made her feel uncomfortable as the one with red hair whose dark eyes glared silently at Serena.
"Is she the slave coming? Our master's new slave I mean." The red haired girl asked, leaving the line to walk towards Serena who gasped in shock as being addressed as a slave so openly.
"Yup, guess she's the one but that doesn't matter now. Granny Felicia asked for her to be treated specially, and first you'll have to make one of your delicious meals for her." Isaac replied the red haired girl who now stood a few centimeters away from Serena as she watched her for a few more seconds before turning back to Isaac.
And as she smashed her lips to Isaac's, Serena gasped in shock, looking away quickly as the kiss deepened. A huge blush stained her cheeks immediately.
"Come on Isaac, you should at least show the new girl some respect." One of the two guys said while walking to the couples and gently pushing them apart from each other.
"I'm sorry darling, but you'll have to sit at the dinning while Betty here makes you something to eat." Isaac said to Serena, smirking at Betty who was eyeing him like a piece of steak.
She went to the dinning and the other girls and the last guy who couldn't stop staring at her joined her. She almost coughed at the awkwardness around them.
Not that they were admiring her. Serena wasn't dumb, she recognized the look they were giving her. It wasn't different from everyone else.
"Jack, let's go." One of the girls called the guy standing up and waking out of the kitchen, the others following closely behind her.
Leaving her alone, she sighed looking back at Isaac and Betty who had started another make out session. She groaned angrily.
Perfect. Not only was she hungry, they'll make out all over her food.
After enduring forty minutes of make out session one, cook, make out session two, cook and so on. Betty finally placed a tray of food in front of her before walking out.
"Come on love, eat it." Issac encouraged walking to Serena with a glass of water that he dropped right beside her plate.
She finally nodded, digging into the bowl of pasta, and in a few minutes had an empty plate in front of her
She wondered how Betty could make out and cook something so delicious.
"I know that look. Her cooking is perfect, isn't it?" Issac asked taking away her plate to the sinc.
"You can talk to me. If you keep being mute, I can assure you that I'll be the only friend you'll have around here. And considering the fact that you are a slave you won't be getting out of the castle ever again," Isaac added, coming to sit back opposite her.
"Yes." She finally said. "Thanks."
"Now, that does the trick love. Come on, let me show you around the servants quarter first." Isaac stretched forth his hand towards Serena but she didn't take it.
However she followed him out and the next three hours they looked round the mansion, well mainly of the servant quarters.
"Tomorrow, I think I'll take you on a tour inside the castle. That's of course if the King permits it." Isaac spoke as they returned back to the kitchen.
Finally seeing an opening, Serena asked.
"Where is the king? I haven't seen him." She mumbled so quietly and felt stupid after. It probably didn't make sense asking for the man who enslaved you.
"Trust me. You'll get tired of the king soon enough. You might be dreaming of spending time with him. Every lady in LA dreams about that too but darling he is cruel." Issac started.
"He hates being around ladies too. No one knows the reason why so you have to be very careful with him."
"It's not that." Serena said quickly, almost blushing to the tip of her ears.
"Then what is it? Don't tell me you are eager to serve him. The last female slave he had hanged herself when she pissed him off. She was scared of the everlasting punishment he was gonna give to her so she took it upon herself to die peacefully."
Serena froze. "I...how..." She started to say, but couldn't find herself making meaningful sentences.
"Love, let's just go."
Isaac took Serena back to her room before leaving to report to granny Felicia. And as she busied herself with unpacking her clothes to her closet and Isaac words ringed in her mind, she couldn't help but think she really wanted to stay here.
Night came and Isaac came to pick Serena for dinner.
"I'm here again. It's dinner time. It's also time to meet everyone. Including the King." Her heart skipped a bit at the mention of his name and she grew nervous.
Isaac noticed. "Yeah, I understand your fear but I'd like you to put your fear aside. At least tonight he won't ask you for anything, probably you'll start working as his slave from tomorrow. Now that is when you are allowed to get scared." He said and it did nothing to soothe Serena who's knees grew weak.
Stepping back to the dining room, she met the rest of the servants. There were about eight females and twenty-five males. She figured it was because he didn't like females.
Her heart grew uneasy before she spotted grandma Felicia at the head of the table.
"Betty, have you served the king his dinner?" Serena heard ask, before her gaze found Serena and she smiled.
"Yes ma'am." Betty replied from beside Serena, a hint of pride in her voice.
"Come here, child. Come have a seat." Grandma Felicia called, patting the empty seat closest to her and Serena blushed from the attention.
As she sat down, she couldn't help but feel like she was being treated specially. But today was only her first day, of course it was a tradition to treat people nicely the first time.
"So, here today with us is a new face. Introduce yourself, child."
Serena swallowed nervously, keeping her eyes on the table to avoid the curious looks everyone sent her way.
"I- uh. My name is Serena." She answered shyly.
"And you are the King's new slave. What did you do to offend the king?" Betty asked first, folding her arms across her chest.
It offended Serena to be asked that, but as she opened her mouth to respond, grandma Felicia beat her to it.
"Betty, you should learn how to be accommodating. Please you shouldn't behave that way to her." The older woman interjected.
"As time goes by, we'll get to know Serena and Serena will also get to know you all well."
"That's if she is going to last here. With the way her heart jumps at any little thing, I fear for her life." A buff looking blonde guy spoke from the back. His eyes watching her in a silent pity.
"Charles, you don't have to be so rude. Ignore them, child, please let's eat." Grandma Felicia once again scolded and they went about dinner.
Midway through the meal with talks and discussion flying around, Charles stood up abruptly and whispered something in the older woman's ears before leaving and arriving almost immediately.
"Um..Serena or what is your name? The king sends for you." The whole room became silent and you could hear a pin drop. And Serena's heart skipped a bit, she glanced at Grandma Felicia to see if she would say something to save her.
"Go on. Don't ever keep the King waiting, be careful around him too." The older woman said, earning a few nods from everyone else.
Serena knew she was alone in this, with shaky legs, she started to get up only to be interrupted by Isaac who had been quiet the whole meal.
"Oh, I guess I should take you there." He stood up and came to stand by her side.
"No...I'll bring her, Issac. Continue with your meal," Charles disagreed, starting to walk out of the dinning.
She wished it was Isaac with her, she was already getting comfortable around him. She badly wanted him to argue and insist but he only smiled sadly, taking his seat once more.
Sighing deeply, she followed Charles out of the servant quarters and to the other side of the building.
As they arrived at a main entrance, she found two Beta's guarding it.
The familiar scent of power and danger hit her hard, and she knew the Alpha was behind those doors. Her heart picked up a beat.
The Betas let them through as they walked inside the building, and into a large dinning room where they found Adam and two other male servants. And beside him was the Alpha.
"Your Highness, she is here. I'll take my leave." Charles bowed, leaving immediately.
She felt the temperature drop, her knees becoming weak, palm sweaty. His aura was stronger in his home than at the office. Everything in her screamed in terror of what to do next, her inside threatened to open up, her knees grew weak and it wasn't until her knees hit the floor hard did she realize she had fallen in submission to the King.
"Go make me coffee." He groaned his back was to her so Serena couldn't see his face. His words shook her very core and she rose up as quickly as she had fallen.
"Yes, your Highness."
"I'll take you to the kitchen." Adam stood, escorting her out of the room to a kitchen opposite the dinning. It wasn't as big as the one in the servant quarters but it was big enough.
With shaky fingers, she started making his coffee just the exact way she knew he liked it. And just after she finished, she held it carefully in her hand before heading back to the dinning to serve the Alpha.
"You might want to calm down before you pass out from fear." Adam chuckled, trying to lighten the mood, but it did nothing to ease Serena's tension building around her shoulders.
They got back to the dining and she dropped the cup gently on the table before backing away as quickly as possible.
It was another five minutes before he turned to them, his gaze fixed in the coffee as he took it to his lips. A frown came upon his lips and Serena's heart skipped a bit.
"Did you poison it?" He asked suddenly, and Serena blushed, waving her hand in front of her.
"No! No!" She spoke quickly and nervously.
Poisoning the Alpha would be the last thing in her mind. Besides, rumour has it that he couldn't be killed.
"Hmm, I perceive a different fragrance from the last time. An added ingredient?" He asked, and she could feel anger rolling off him in huge waves as she took a step backwards.
"Yes, I..I..added a very rare ingredient I saw in the kitchen, your Highness. It's just to make the coffee perfect." Serena replied honestly, her knees feeling like it would go out any moment from now.
"Come closer then." He ordered.

Chapter 6: Rules 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.
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 behin

But when you've been hated by almost everyone you have come across, you start to find it weird if someone likes y Emi also made her uncomfortable with the stares she gave she gave Serena. She couldn't quite put a finger on the emotions the look she dissipated and she didn't want to ask and make it more awkward than it was supposed As Serena made her way through the mini mansion, she saw Grandma Felicia who was talking to two servants. And as she finished, she turned them away tiredly, before smiling when Serena came to v &nb
THE CEO ALPHA KING Chapter 9: Crushing on him Serena's POV As we unpacked everything we bought, the other servants, noticing we were back came to help us and by the time we were finished, I was tired and retired to my room. It wasn't hard finding it as I had carved an 'S' on my door with my room key. The hallways were also starting to get really familiar and I could locate my room with ease I opened the door and threw myself on the bed, closing my eyes in bliss, the mattress was so soft and comfy. I started to slip away from reality when my phone buzzed in my pocket. With sleepy eyes, I took it out, not recognizing the strange number that flashed against my screen. I hardly ever received any calls, especially from strange numbers.
Chapter 10: Scared Writer's POV There was a sickening silence in the room and it didn't help that the younger Alpha had an evil gleam in his eyes, as he patiently waited for the Alpha King to give his response. Why was he doing this? Requesting for her like some sort of object. There were thousands of chefs that he could afford but he had chosen Serena? He didn't have good intentions; she was sure about that and the smirk on his face proved it. A wave of fear rushed through her and she shivered under the cold air as she could possibly think of better coffee makers than her. Hell, there was even a coffee maker machine! So why was he trying so hard to get her?
Chapter 11: Lonely Writer's POV Few minutes later, Grandma Felicia was standing before the king in his large sitting room. Both of his guests must have left because the room was empty save for the Alpha King who sat still on his large chair and appeared to d in deep thoughts. "My lord. Your Highness." Grandma Felicia bowed, showing submission to him. At first glance, the scene looked wrong. An older woman bowing to someone who was old enough to be her son. But they all knew the king was far older than anyone else. He had lived for years, and could be two times older than the woman. He looked like he
Chapter 12: Siblings Writer's POV Serena walked into her room, feeling weak, exhausted and confused. Emotions clouded her mind at once and there was no time to sort them out. She doesn't understand what had happened in the king's chambers. Nor why it happened. All she knew was that he asked her to wait there. She laid on the bed, kicking off her shoes tiredly. Her cellphone she had totally forgotten about due to the fear vibrated in her pocket. Maybe it was Kate, she thought, digging it out her smile fell. It wasn't Kate but a blush filled her cheeks as her smile returned when she realized who was calling. &n
Chapter 13: In Tears. Happy. Writer's POV "Hold on. Wait!" Isaac said to Serena nervously as she opened her mouth to read off the result. Serena chuckled, looking up at him. "Why? It's a DNA test. Why are you so nervous?" Serena asked. "It's just that...I..don't.." "Come on, I'm sure the person you are testing him or her..." "It's her." Isaac corrected and she shrugged, looking back at the piece of paper in hand. "Okay, her DNA must be lucky to match yours and have you as a father or sister." Serena laughed
