The CEO Alpha King

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 Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

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.
