Chapter 6 Rules

THE CEO ALPHA KING **Rules**

Writer's P O V

Serena found herself being pulled towards the king by one of the guards there.

She hates being in front of him, staring at him but she can't help it.

The king slowly decanted part of the coffee into another cup then offered her the drink.

The guard that pulled her towards the king lifted the cup and gave it to her. She took it with shaky hands.

Of course she is innocent of the crimes laid against her but she couldn't get a grip of herself.

With her eyes on the cup, she took it and fixed it at the brim of her lips before gulping the whole content down.

The king slowly rested his back against his sit to probably watch her fall but she didn't. She kept standing but in fear.

She couldn't stop fearing for her life and his powers is still doing wonders in every corner of the castle.

When she didn't fall or die within 10 minutes, the king lifted the coffee, he fixed the cup at the brim of his own lips and was about taking the coffee when Adam interrupted him.

"Your Highness, what if the coffee is truly poisoned and is set to kill slowly?" Adam interjected.

"Then she'll be dying first." The king replied a cocky grin on his lips.

That was the first time Serena had seen him grinning or was she imagining it? Who knows?

The king gulped down a little quantity and a familiar look flashed across his eyes.

The look closely resemblances that of shock and satisfaction but then again maybe Serena was imagining it because the look didn't last on his face. It was just a flash.

Serena through the corner of her eyes watched as the king kept sipping from the coffee cup until he drank it all.

He kept the coffee cup down and a guard made to clear the table but with the wave of his hand he stopped him.

"Let her do it," King Zed lifted his eyes to stare at Serena's.

The stare gave her goosebumps. The guard holding her left her arm.

With shaky legs, she walked to the table and started picking up the cups and plates there. She placed all of them on the tray and carried them to the kitchen.

She surprisedly met a servant there, a female servant.

"I'll take it from here," the lady smiled at her. Odd, from her scent Serena could tell that the girl is a human.

A human inside the king's castle? That was something.

The lady kept staring at Serena as she walked to the sink and started washing the plates. The kind of stare the girl gave her made her feel really uncomfortable.

It wasn't the usual stare she got from people. This stare is way different. Serena couldn't understand the meaning behind those stares and she doesn't like the stare either.

She also doesn't know whether to go back to the king or just stay inside the kitchen until she is sure she can go back to the mini mansion.

"Serena," Serena heard Adam call to her.

She turned and quickly walked out of the kitchen to meet just Adam at the dinning room. It's a great relief that the King is gone but his scent is still strongly intoxicating.

"Sit down," Adam ordered before bringing out a note. He placed it in front of Serena.

"You are to read and understand the rules guarding this castle and you are not to break them."

"The three most important rules are;

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."

Those words spoken by Adam only shocked and returned back Serena's fears.

Of course she doesn't acknowledge the king's presence but that is because she is scared of opening her mouth and spitting out rubbish and not because she is disrespectful.

"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 age mate, he is over a century old if you are not aware of that."

Serena's mouth slowly patted open in shock. She already heard about that but she wasn't also sure how true it was considering it was just a rumour. So that also mean the other rumours about the king is true.

Like how he murdered an entire family in cold blood. How he used his powers, oh...wait, he has powers. Unseen powers and whenever he gets really mad his powers are released and can kill a hundred people, hundred werewolves at the same time.

That he doesn't die. He is an immortal. And that he is currently seeking vengeance somewhere.

"And lastly, you must not get on his nerves. You mustn't anger the king as angering him will only get you killed, it will not only get you killed. It will get hundreds of innocent people killed. Do you get that?" Adam lowered his face to hers.

"Ye..yes, I understand." She bobbed her head up and down in understanding.

"Now, you should study the rest of the rules guarding the castle in other 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 to your life or more." Adam stated making sure she understood every word he said.

"Yes. Yes," Serena mouthed.

"Good," Adam smirked standing upright again.

"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 a example, satisfying her master's sexual needs. Arranging his bed every morning and night, dressing him up before he leaves for an important event."

"You can meet granny Felicia to explain the rest to you. You can leave now, you'll come back very early tomorrow before 6.00am." Adam concluded leaving Serena in total shock.

'Satisfying the king's sexual needs' kept ringing inside her head.

What? I have to do such things? Serena made to ask but couldn't.

She stood up from her sit and quietly started heading towards the door, just at the entrance she saw the blonde haired guy, Charles still waiting for her.

It suprised her to see him still waiting for her. She walked behind him and stood, it didn't take long before he turned to look at her.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to your room," he said, not in a friendly tone. Maybe just like everyone else, he hates her for her ugliness.

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 mumbled to him and opened her door. She entered and was about closing the door but was stopped by charles's voice.

"Look Serena or whatever your name is. You gotta control your fears whenever you are around the king so you won't end of dying just like his last slave did. I'm not saying this because I like you, I simply don't wanna witness anymore cruelty from the king." Charles rushed his words and left like the wind.

And yeah, from his scent. You can tell that he is an Omega. A strong one at that.

But there is something awkward about him. He speaks of the king with so much 'anger' and possible 'hate' .

Serena shut and lock the door after he left. She walked slowly to her bed before lowering her ass on the bed. She thought on bathing but decided against it.

The words Adam had said to her kept coming back to her. Her eyes went to the piece of paper she has been holding firmly.

She took up the paper and stared at it.

This can wait, she concluded in her mind before dropping the paper on the headboard.

Also recalling Adam also said that she should wake up before 6:00am. She set her phone alarm to 5:30am before resting her head on the soft bed.

The image of her sister crossed her mind before she fell asleep.

***

The ringing of her phone alarm woke her up, she groaned tossing about on her bed before she finally grabbed hold of her phone and switched off her phone. She was about falling asleep again before she remembered Adam's words.

Immediately, she sat up on the bed before lifting her eyes to the wall clock there.

5:46am.

"Shit!" She cussed and jumped down from the bed. She went into the closet, brought out a lose gown and kept it on her bed before running into the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. There was no time to bath at all.

She came out of the bathroom, jumped into the lose gown before reaching for the door.

She eyes met with that of Isaac who was leaning against the hard wall.

"I was waiting for you," he stood straight with his hand fixed into his trouser pocket.

"Let's go, it's almost time. The king will soon wake up," Isaac urged as he started heading down the long hallway.

Serena wasted no time in following him, she was surprised to see almost, well if not all the servants awake and working.

Isaac took her out of the mini mansion and straight to the castle. Serena saw the same bodyguards, the two Beta's still guarding the door.

Didn't they sleep all night? Serena wondered as they allowed them entrance.

Just like the mini mansion, the castle was also as busy as servants can be seen working, cleaning up the entire place.

If not for the darkness outside, you will think that it's already dawn.

"Matt, you can take her from here," Isaac said to a guy who looks really built. He looks like a bouncer. He is also a werewolf and he has this mean face on.

"Follow me," he spoke referring to Serena who quickly started following him.

"I'll see you later Luv." Serena heard Isaac voice before she turned towards another direction.

They walked and walked, climbing stairs and all till they reached what we will call the final floor where only the king's and two other rooms are located.

Serena quickly noted the king's room because their were the guards standing guard in front of his door.

"Is the king awake?" Serena heard the Matt guy ask one of the guards standing guard there.

"About time," she heard the guard's reply. A long sigh of relief escaped her lungs, she was scared she messed up again.

"Ok, I'll leave her with you," Matt said before leaving. Serena watched as Matt disappeared along the hallway.

Her gaze returned back to the two guards. They also have serious, mean look on.

She stood there for 4 minutes before she heard movement inside the king's room.

"He is awake," one of the guards whispered to the second one.

Serena also shifted uncomfortably in one foot.

The door cracked open and the two guards quickly lowered themselves in greetings.

"Morning your Highness," they both chorused.

Serena with shaky legs and with nervousness dealing her a great deal also lowered herself in greetings, mumbling a 'good morning' to him.

Like last night, she didn't know when her knees hit the cold floor, she only gasped when she realized it.

It was like he was sending a message to her. Or maybe he is treating her that way because of his hate for female genders.

King Zed left the door way open and without replying to their greetings went back into his room.

The two guards stood back upright, seeing this, Serena also stood on her feet.

"Go on in," one of the guards said to her.

Serena nodded, gulping nothing down as she walked into the king's bedroom.
