Writer’s POV
Serena slowly stood up from the sofa the moment Beta Adam came in with Emily.
She doesn’t really know how she felt about the maid but anger sparked in her and she wanted to hit Emily for what she had done to her last night.
Emily pinned her eyes to the floor as she stood behind King Zed.
“So tell me, why did you do that?” King Zed turned to Emily but she remained quiet, unable to respond to him.
“Answer me, you know I won’t ask a second time.” King Zed grunted in anger and she shook at the sound of his loud voice.
“I was lonely, I needed someone. And I like her so I picked her.” Emi answered fearfully, not sparing Serena a glance.
“You are lonely? Why are you lonely?” King Zed questioned moving closer to her.
“It’s because I don’t have anyone. I stay here everyday without knowing a thing about the outside world.” Emi said, despite the fear in her voice, she was rather pissed too.
“And why don’t you know a thing about the outside world, Emily?” King Zed asked again stopping in front of her, his gaze boring holes into her head
“Are you supposed to be asking me that? Am I not your prisoner, you won’t allow me to go anywhere.” Emily yelled and Serena could hear the hurt in her voice.
“And why aren’t you allowed outside the castle?’ King Zed questioned yet again, ignoring the hurt she was feeling.
“Answer me!”
“I don’t want to do this anymore. I want to leave. Just allow me to go.” Emily started to plead.
“Take her away.” King Zed looked up at Beta Adam as he ordered, stepping away from her.
“Wait. I’ll answer you. The reason why I am not allowed outside is because I’m bad, I’m into girls, I also do drugs and you promised my mama to keep me alive.” Emily shouted.
“Take her away, Adam. Make sure she doesn’t step out of her room again, find out the person helping her with the drugs she takes.” King Zed ordered as Beta Adam dragged Emily away.
“Wait. Please forgive me, I won’t do it again. I will obey all your rules, I will stay alive. I won’t cause troubles again. Please.” The maid pleaded but the alpha didn’t spare her another glance and he turned to Serena who stifled at his attention.
“You can also leave, but be careful. I don’t want another one of my personal slaves dying under my roof.” King Zed voiced out to Serena before returning to his desk.
“Yes master. Thank you.” Serena said before walking to the door. She got to the opened door and stopped to stare at king Zed again before leaving.
When king Zed could no longer feel her presence, he looked up and at the door.
The memories from last night came flooding into his head once more.
Yesterday he was lying on his bed ready to chase his demons away and fall asleep when Serena’s voice suddenly rang inside his head.
He kept hearing all her thoughts even when he tried hard to block her from his head.
He kept hearing her thoughts until it was cut short by Emily. He heard Emily’s voice, how Emily lured her into her room and how Serena had become scared.
The moment he felt her fear, he sat up from his bed.
A part of him felt scared for her too and he didn’t know why. Probably Damon, he had thought.
Then when she started struggling with Emily to let her go. He couldn’t help but stand up from his bed to help her escape emily
Annoyed that he cares for her even though he hates her.
How was it even possible that I am troubled by one shewolf? He had wondered as he made for the door.
He got to the door and opened it but paused.
No! Whatever happens to her can’t be any of my business. I shouldn’t care for a weak wolf like her, he thought and made to go back but the doors opened on their own accord.
His guards turned to look at him immediately.
He coughed once and was about ordering one of them to go find out what was wrong with Serena but couldn’t bring himself to talk about rescuing a shewolf with his guards.
They might really get the wrong idea. They might think I no longer disliked her gender but I still do. I will just rush down and free her from Emily then come back up, king Zed had thought.
He stepped out of his room and then got to the desired floor. He saw Serena run out from Emily’s room and soon Emily came after her.
He made himself known and Emily had no choice but to back off.
He had carried her back to his room when she was almost naked in front of him and was collapsing to the floor.
“Your Highness.” One of the guards from outside called his attention and he shook off the memory from his mind and snapped his head up again.
“Yes?” he answered.
“I was told to inform you that the new men who will be working for you are here in the castle.” The guard informed me.
“Have Felicia speak with them.” King Zed ordered.
“Yes your Highness,” the guard replied before leaving, shutting the door behind him.
*******
Serena sat down on her bed then picked up her cell phone. She was glad that her cell phone was inside the pocket of her dress the day those men in black attacked her and Martins.
Speaking of Martins, I should call and ask him how he is. But first I need to call Isaac and ask him for a solution to my biggest problem of getting horny, Serena thought as she dialed her brother’s number.
The call went through but ended without being picked up by Issac.
Serena’s heart dropped at the thought that Isaac might still be angry at her.
She picked up the phone again and dialed his number. It rang and came to an end without being picked once more. Tears pricked Serena’s eyes but she held it in this time.

**Back outside the castle.
Isaac had left his phone in Kendrick’s vehicle while they both sat in a bar downing a bottle of wine.
Isaac’s eyes shifted and met with Kate who was just entering the bar.
“Hey man, look at her. She is the girl I told you about.” Isaac tapped Kendrick drawing his friends’ attention to Kate who glanced around irritatedly at the bar.
“You mean the human lady you disgraced at a restaurant for your sister?” Kendrick asked.
“You can say that again.” Isaac smirked, rising to his feet.
“Hey, where are you going? What if she sees you?” Kendrick questioned.
“That is exactly what I want. I want her to see me” Isaac said before leaving.
He went and sat down with Kate who was sitting alone on an empty table.
“Hey Kate, right?” Isaac asked, looking at her.
Kate lifted her eyes to look at him. Her eyes widened and anger flashed in them as she stood up immediately, picked her bag and went out from the bar.
Isaac smirked to himself and followed her out, standing in front a car she was headed to, letting her stop in her tracks in front of him
Before either of them could speak, Kate hit him across the cheeks, leaving a stinging sensation behind.
Isaac gasped in shock before masking his emotions before turning to look at her, remorse filled his eyes.
“I deserved that. I’ve been looking everywhere for you to apologise, Kate. I’m so sorry, I made a mistake the last time we met.” Isaac apologized.
“Get out of my sight. Get out, I want to leave this place.” Kate shouted.
“Hey, I know you are really mad at me. Truth is I’m really mad at my own self for believing that girl, Serena. She is the one who poisoned my mind about you, I am sorry.” Isaac apologized again and at that Kate shifted uncomfortably.
“What did she say to you?” She asked curiously, her anger melting away.
“Well, if you calm down. I promise to tell you everything from the very beginning. Look, we can go back to the restaurant, I’ll go tell everyone there that I made a huge mistake about you which I can’t forgive myself for. We can even go to the television stations, I’ll announce to them that I am so stupid, I’ll apologize publicly to you there.” Isaac said desperately.
Kate folded her arms and considered his words.
“You don’t believe me? Wait here then. Let me start by telling everyone at the bar how sorry I am for hurting you that way.” Isaac said and turned. He started heading back to the bar, he was at the entrance about to go in when Kate’s voice stopped him.
A smile touched his face.
He suspected she was going to stop him and stopping him means she still harbored feelings for him.
Good, Isaac thought as his eyes met with Kendrick.
He signalled for Kendrick to come out before turning back to Kate who rolled her eyes.
“You shouldn’t have stopped me.” Issac mumbled looking remorseful.
“He is indeed sorry. Please forgive my best friend for his intense stupidity, he wouldn’t let me rest after he found out the truth about you. He suggested we search every corner of LA for you. I’m happy he finally met you here.” Kendrick said, coming to stand in front of Isaac.
“Really? He said that?” Kate asked, her eyes glancing suspiciously between them.
“Yes, I’m Kendrick. This fool’s best friend, I hope you can forgive him, give him a second chance.” Kendrick said as he extended his hand to Kate who shook it before pulling away.
“Well, that depends. Tell me everything Serena told you about me first.” Kate turned to Issac and requested.
“Will you really forgive me after that?” Isaac asked, his eyes glittering in amusement.
“It depends. I might still dump your ass, get into my car.” Kate rolled her eyes at Isaac before turning to open the door to her car.
A smirk filled Isaac’s face, mischief glittering in those hazel eyes of his as he looked at Kendrick who just shook his head unbelievably at him.
“Um.. I’ll be waiting in the car, Isa. See you,” Kendrick said before leaving.
Isaac got into Kate’s car, resting his back against the passenger seat comfortably.
“Now talk, what did that dirty little rat say about me?” Kate asked.
Issac took a deep breath, encouraging himself not to get mad at her.
“Well, she didn’t say much. She just told me you blame her for your mother’s death, she told me you and your dad gang up and bully her everyday. My instincts just kicked him immediately. I heard her mention ‘bully’.”
“I personally hate bullies. My sister, the only sister I have died because of them. She committed suicide. Everyday she could come home from school and pretend everything was okay but we didn’t know she was being seriously bullied until she jumped down from the top roof of her school building. That was when I read her diary, I became so mad, I wanted to kill all of them at that school.” Isaac explained slowly, his mind relishing the memories from his past.
“Well, I guess I immediately believed Serena when she told me she was in that situation too. I told her about my sister and I guess she took advantage of me and made me dislike her before I got the chance to meet her.
I was quick to judge you. How can an angel like you be a bully? I am seriously sorry for what I did. I will forever regret it.” Isaac said, remorse filled his eyes and Kate was moved to forgive him.
“How do you know that she was lying then?” Kate asked him.
“I read her diary, she wrote it down that she hates you a lot and regrets that you are her sister. She said she wishes to kill you but can’t bring herself to do it, after those few lines I read, I realized she was the devil herself and didn’t continue reading. In conclusion, I just want you to forgive me.
I was thinking of my dead sister and overreacted. I know you know the pain of losing someone so dear to you.” Isaac said, not tearing his gaze from Kate’s. She hesitated, thinking deeply before speaking again.
“Meet me tomorrow at the Land mall hotel, 2 00pm.”
“I’ll be there,” Isaac smiled before opening the door of her car. He came down and watched as she drove off.
Interesting, he thought, chuckling maliciously.
