THE CEO ALPHA KING (Rescued)
Writer’s P O V
Serena got her senses back and pushed Martins away with all her strength.
“Get away from me!” She screamed at him as she twirled on the bed and went to the other side of the room.
How she pushed Martins surprised him a lot.
“I want to help you. Please, Calm down,” Martins spoke softly. He tried going to the other side of the room, but Serena kept changing stances.
“Go away! Go away, please. I don’t want this. I don’t need your help,” she begged.
“Okay, okay. I’ve heard you. I’ll leave but sit down first. I won’t hurt you, I promise,” Martins uttered and tried going over to her side again.
“No!” She shrieked as he grabbed her arm. She lowered her head. Abruptly to him, she bites his arm so hard.
Martins groaned out in pain but held her more tightly. More tears fell from Serena’s eyes as he pushed her forcefully down the bed.
But then, the room door opened, and the very person Serena least expected to see walks into the room.
She gasped out as she focused her attention on him. Martins also turned towards the door, and his eyes widened in shock.
Martin moved back and away from her. “Your… your Highness?” Martins stuttered in disbelief.
“What do you think you are doing? What game are you playing?” King Zed asked, glaring at him.
“I-” Martins reached for the phone in his pocket to call his father.
“That’s right. Inform Declan that I’m here, and he shouldn’t keep me waiting,” King Zed declared. He shifted his gaze back to Serena, who was still staring at him in total disbelief. Martins ran out of the room immediately.
Serena got hold of herself after some minutes. She sat up on the bed properly with her head lowered.
Her tears kept running endlessly.
“I told you not to step foot out of my castle. And if you did, you’ll be punished for it.” King Zed voiced out.
Serena remained muted; she kept staring at the bed. Her hands trembled. Her body has already turned pale.
King Zed moved closer towards the bed.
“I’ll make sure you get punished for disobeying me. But for now,” King Zed stretched forth his hand for her to take.
Serena slowly lifted her head to stare at the king’s extended hand. More tears rushed down her eyes. She lifted her head higher to stare at his face, at his golden brown glittering eyes.
“Come on,” King Zed grabbed her hand and pulled her down from the bed.
Her legs tremble like a formed jelly; different thoughts kept running through her mind.
What is happening? He arrived.
“Seems your legs are refusing to support you.” King Zed frowned.
He stared at her shivering self for a while. Thinking if he should or shouldn’t. Then he leaned a little and yanked her up as if she weighed nothing. He carried her in his arms, in a bridal style.
Serena’s arms went around his shoulder. She couldn’t believe it, and she couldn’t even imagine it. She told herself that she was only dreaming or she was only hallucinating things.
King Zed held her firmly. His face remained complex and unreadable as he walked her out of the room.
There, they saw Martin’s father’s men. They had tripled, and they were all pointing their guns at them.
King Zed looked ahead and saw Martin’s father, Declan, at the back with his son, and he was grinning happily.
“You shouldn’t have come here alone, King Zed. Now I feel so bad for you; you are vastly innumerable. Those guns are all loaded with a silver bullet; they aren’t ordinary human guns. Two-five-six bullets will kill you. I know you are powerful, but six of those bullets will kill you.” Declan smirked heartily.
King Zed kept staring at him as if he was telling riddles. Fear crawled into Serena’s body, and she was about to come down, but King Zed’s grips on her tightened.
She had forgotten that they were using her as bait to get to King Zed.
“Put her down. Go on your knees and raise your hands above your head. I’ll give you a painless death; then I’ll take over from you as the king of all werewolves.” he continued.
“I’m so intelligent. I’ve been looking for ways to get to you for years, and now she suddenly showed up as your slave, as the weapon to contact you. You don’t know how grateful I am to her. She made everything so so easy for me. The ancient book tells no lies; she turned out to be your downfall and your savor at the same time.”
Declan paused and laughed a bit.
“You have also stayed too long on that throne. It’s time you pass it, don’t be too selfish. It’s time you hand it over to someone more competent.”
“Grab him!” He orders.
King Zed shifted his gaze down to look at the shivering half-breed in his arms.
He sighed.
“I knew this day could come. When you get to hell, send my greetings to your wife who tried seducing me to get some pieces of information from me when she was still alive,” King Zed said.
His words angered Martin’s father.
“Shoot him! Shoot him now!” He ordered his men with anger tuning down his lungs.
“No, father. What of Se-” Martins was still mumbling when his father shut him up with a slap.
Declan’s men cocked their guns and made him shoot but unwillingly turned towards each other and started shooting themselves to death.
King Zed continued walking with Serena still in his arms.
Serena’s eyes were shut tightly. She closed it the moment Martin’s father yelled to his men to shoot them. King Zed walked past Declan and his son. He got outside to see his Beta waiting outside for him.
Beta Adam struggled hard to hide the shock he felt. He can’t believe King Zed is carrying a woman in his arms.
How is that even feasible? He thought.
“Y-your Highness?” Beta Adam stuttered.
He opened the car’s back seat they came with, and King Zed kept Serena inside before joining her.
“Make sure you get Declan and his son out alive. I’ll make sure to kill the both of them, myself,” King Zed ordered.
The driver turned on the ignition, started the engine, and took off with a sleek speed.
“You guys can come in now,” Beta Adam said into his phone.
A truck full of soldiers drove in and came down with their guns in hand.
“Go in and gather the surviving men. They are going to be prosecuted according to the law and for everyone to see,” Beta Adam ordered.
The soldiers rushed into the building and gathered the remaining men there, both Martin’s and his father. They cuffed and dragged them out.

Serena sat beside King Zed quietly. Too many thoughts running through her mind.
Is this king Zed or his twin? Is this even real? How real is this?
Am I sitting beside King Zed? Did he rescue me? He even carried me out from the room and didn’t drop me even when I wanted to come down.
How is this possible? Is he the same man that made me his slave?
No! This is another person. She turned slightly to stare at his face, and he faced the front and looked sternly.
He noticed Serena staring at him and turned to look at her. Serena immediately moved her gaze elsewhere.
King Zed then decided to listen to her thoughts.
Woah! I think he is king Zed. I think he is the one. A dream can’t feel so natural, so did he save me?
Of course, he did. Everything was real, right from the time Martins wanted to take advantage of me. He saved me just in time.
And what was that, that Martin’s father enunciated about?
I’ve been looking for ways to get to you for years, and now she suddenly showed up as your slave, as the weapon to contact you. You don’t know how grateful I am to her. She made everything so so easy for me. The ancient book tells no lies; she turned out to be your downfall and your savor at the same time.*
What was that? What does he mean by that? Serena kept wondering. The ride back to the castle was long and tiring.
King Zed didn’t say a single word to her throughout the journey. They finally got to the castle and passed all the gates.
When the driver parked, the waiting guards ran to the car and opened the car’s door for king Zed.
Beta Adam already informed everyone to get back to the castle. He told them all of the situations, and why King Zed returned earlier, so they all knew, including granny Felicia and the servants.
King Zed stepped out of the car and adjusted his long suit.
“Your Highness!” They all bowed their heads in greetings.
Serena kept staring at them from the car. King Zed looked back into the car. He asked her with his eyes -what she was still doing in there.
“Oh… I’m coming.” Serena mumbled as she found her way out from the Benz. She stood behind King Zed.
Her eyes landed on granny Felicia. Granny Felicia smiled sweetly at her. Serena then returned the smiling gesture.
Betty and Lilian, the castle cooks, kept staring at both King Zed and Serena in deep shock. They didn’t believe the news circulating the castle that king Zed returned from Chicago to save his slave. But now, seeing Serena coming out from the same car with him, they are looking dumbstruck.
King Zed started moving forward to the castle’s door calmly without a single smile on his face. Serena moved behind him slowly with her head lowered. She doesn’t know what will happen next, so she has to follow king Zed and hear his orders.
King Zed went into the elevator that would lead him to the top floor of the castle. Serena waits outside, staring at him; she didn’t know if she should enter the elevator with him or not.
No guard entered with him. They all just paused outside and waited for him to go up before they could follow. The elevator started closing up. It closed up but opened up a minute later.
“What are you doing? Get in.” King Zed ordered, but his voice sounded calm.
Serena pointed towards herself. She looked at the guards standing beside her, then entered the elevator. She watched the guard’s surprised face as the elevator closed up.
The elevator started moving until it got to the last floor. It opened up, and the guards waiting for him up escorted him to his chambers. The ones standing guard at his door opened the door, and he entered, Serena entered with him, and the door closed up.
She waited and watched as king Zed walked to his closet and started pulling out his clothes.
“Prepare a cold bath for me.” King Zed ordered without turning to look at her.
She rushed to the bathroom without uttering a word and did as he ordered.
She came out to see him unclad and ready to bathe. He walked into the bathroom and had a long bath before coming out.
He went into his closet, changed into a comfortable house cloth before coming out.
So he can even change inside his closet, but he doesn’t and prefers to change in front of me continually. To always make me uncomfortable, Serena thought to herself. She scoffed.
“So what punishment should I give you for disobeying me?” King Zed suddenly asked.
Serena opened her mouth to speak but shut it immediately.
“Go prepare lunch. I want to eat, prepare all of my favorites in one hour, and they should be delicious. That should be a good punishment for you,” King Zed instructed.
Serena opened her mouth to protest.
“The time starts now.” King Zed added. She shut her mouth and rushed out of his chambers.
