THE CEO ALPHA KING (-Training| Changes-)
Writer’s P O V
The next day.
Serena woke up very early to await the person coming to pick her up. Her curiosity had increased and, she had been wondering what the King, Zed wanted her to do precisely.
According to what Anna told her yesterday, the lady that came by is called a beauty queen.
She helps people train their bodies, and rumors show she can make an ugly person extremely beautiful in a few months.
Serena didn’t exactly know what to think after Anna told her all this. She is anxiously waiting to confirm her suspicions.
She heard the gates of the Mansion opening and a car driving in. She jumped up from the sofa and immediately ran to the door. She opened it and peeped out.
“Calm down, girl. I’m going with you, remember?” Anna said, descending the stairs.
“You should be quick. The driver is already here.” Serena replied. She closed the door and started approaching the vehicle that had just reversed.
She got to the car and knocked on the window.
The driver rolled down the window.
“Miss, are you Serena Williams? I’m supposed to pick miss Serena Williams.” The driver looked out of the car in question.
“Yes. I’m the one. Are we leaving now?” Serena questioned.
“Yes, miss, somebody told me to pick you up and drive back quick.” The driver answered.
“Okay, but you’re going to be taking us both. Is that okay by you?” Serena asked, pointing towards Anna, who was walking towards them.
“No problem, miss. Please come in.” The driver urged.
Serena opened the back door and entered while Anna went to sit with the driver.
The driver ignited the engine of the vehicle and started driving out.
“Hey driver, what is your name?” Anna looked at him and asked.
“I’m Chris, miss,” the driver answered.
“Chris??” Anna asked, surprised.
She turned to look at Serena, who was also staring at her.
How come the driver has the same name as her ex-boyfriend? Serena thought.
“Anything the matter, miss?” Chris, the driver, asked curiously. He couldn’t understand the expression they were giving him.
“No… nothing, you just remind me of someone.” Anna forced a laugh.
“I hope it’s not someone bad tho.” Chris, the driver, chuckled.
A few minutes later, they arrived at XL fashion and beauty luxury.
Chris came down from the car, turned, and opened the door for Serena and Anna. They came down and thanked him with a smile.
The driver led them inside the enormous mall-like castle, and he took them straight to Carol’s office.
Carol, who was making a call, quickly ended it and stood up to attend to Serena.
“Hi, ma’am Carolina West. It’s a pleasure to see you again,” Anna waved at Carol excitedly.
Serena just stood and watched, still very much curious as to why she was there.
“Hello.” Carol simply replied Anna. She focused on Serena.
“Miss Serena Williams. I’m happy to meet you again. Please come this way.”
She led Serena to a training room full of different pieces of equipment.
“My worker’s here. Andy and Shelby will aid you with today’s training. They might become your trainers if you like them.” Carolina introduced both Andy and Shelby to her.
“But why are we doing this? Why am I getting trained?” Serena asked curiously.
“Um… I don’t know. It’s the King’s orders, and in three months, you have to be perfect to return to L. A.”
“The conditions he gave for you to return is to be perfect, to be a perfect werewolf,” Carol explained.
“But why?” Asked Serena.
Carol opened her mouth to speak but snapped it close.
It was not her right to tell her that she was King Zed’s second mate and possibly future Luna and queen.
“I don’t know. He didn’t tell me anything. He just paid me to do all these. This is the very first stage of your training. You are going to put your wolf strength into use.”
“You…”
“I’ve only shifted once. My wolf doesn’t answer me either. I don’t usually feel her. I don’t think I can lift all these dumbbells,” Serena interrupted and said.
Carolina scoffed.
“I have rules here, and I’m going to be very strict with you. One of my rules is never say never. You’ll train on an empty stomach for two days if you break any of my rules.”
“A werewolf is meant to be strong, intimidating, fierce. Your presence has to put fear into everyone. You and your wolf have to bond. You need to have the same mindset. You need to be the closest. You two are literally sharing the same body.
Now, I want you to call her out. I want you to turn right here and now, spin.” Carol ordered.
Serena’s mouth snapped open.
“Don’t worry. I’ll ask Andy and Shelby out once you turn. You can’t train with those clothes you are putting on anyways. You’ll have to change it,” Carol said.
“That’s not the problem. I told you, I’ve only turned once. I can’t do it again. I can’t…”
“For saying that, starting from now till tomorrow night. You are not going to taste a single meal.
King Zed already gave me full permission to train you well, and that’s what I’m going to do. It seems you are going to have to have it the hard way.”
“Now turn!” She ordered again.
Serena’s mouth opened and closed it a second time.
She squatted on the floor and tried turning into a wolf but couldn’t do it.
“Can’t you mind-link your wolf? “Carol asked.
“I can’t. I can’t speak with her,” Serena replied, standing to her feet again.
“When last did you communicate with your wolf?”
“I can’t remember. Maybe when I was still 18, it didn’t last long either.” Serena explained.
“No wonder you are so weak. Your aura is so weak. It’ll be hard to make out the fact that you are a half-werewolf. I think I’m going to start by teaching you how to become one with your wolf and how to turn at will.” Carol said, walking to a side of the room. Serena followed.
“Everything I do, you’ll follow my lead if you want to return to L. A., to see your brother again. You’ll learn. That’s the only way understood?”
“How come you know about my brother?” Serene asked.
“Just learn. You can ask questions later.” Carol retorted.
Serena shut her mouth and concentrated on what Carol was about to do.

Week one had gone, and Serena is currently in week two. She hasn’t returned to the Mansion ever since she stepped foot into XL fashion and beauty luxury.
She had successfully learned how to shift. Shifting into a wolf and back into a human was super hard for her. She turned on the third day of training and, from then on, started going back and forth.
She became so happy. Finally, she was growing her relationship with her wolf. She could now mind linking her wolf correctly, even at midnight. Serena had also taken her training seriously. She couldn’t wait to be done so she’d return to L. A.
She missed Isaac and wondered how she was doing.
She walked into the training room with her training dress and shoes on.
She could now use the training bench, dumbbell set, treadmill, stationary bicycle, barbell set, rowing machine, and so much other training equipment.
Week 4
Carolina started training Serena on how to be physically and emotionally strong and handle mockery words thrown at her, act unaffected by harsh words, and look fierce and intimidating.
Carolina gave her a list of movies to watch and how to improve her speech and accent.
She taught her how to dress. How to select outfits for each event. How to properly converse with people of high rankings.

Back in L. A.
Isaac kept worrying himself, wondering how Serena was doing. Although Beta Adam had called him over to the castle the next day, they returned from New York. They told him Serena was assigned to a particular task there, and she wouldn’t come back unless she completed it. He couldn’t help but still worry.
He thought about the kind of complex task King Zed could have possibly given to his sister.
He wanted so much to speak with her, but calls with her weren’t going through at all.
He became restless. It’s been a month already. The thought that King Zed might have killed and buried his sister over there crossed his mind multiple times, but he couldn’t do a thing to prove it.
He couldn’t confront King Zed to ask him what he did with his sister.
The thoughts of Serena were killing him. Thoughts that she might be died already and rotting away 6 feet down wasn’t settling well with him at all.
He sat down in the sitting room, his palms holding his head tightly.
“Thinking again? Your phone is ringing.” Kendrick’s said, causing him to lift his head.
He looked at his phone that was on the table and groaned when he saw the caller I. D.
“Aren’t you going to answer it? It seems it’s Serena’s half-sister. You’ve literally made that lady crazy over you.”
“You can’t believe she stopped me from leaving the mall yesterday,” said Kendrick. “She eagerly wanted to know where you are staying. When are you going to kill or end things with her finally, huh!?” Kendrick asked, sitting on the armchair beside him.
“I don’t know. I don’t care about her, Ken. Stop bringing her up,” Isaac groaned at him.
“Okay. I know who you are thinking of, you are thinking of your lost or supposedly dead sister. Why don’t you book a flight and head straight to NYC? You might find her if you keep looking”. Kendrick said.
“Look, don’t bring up those lame jokes. The easiest way to get to her is through Beta Adam. He has to tell me where she is, but he didn’t tell me a thing the last time I saw him. He has super tight lips and is completely loyal to King Zed. It’s frustrating,” Isaac groaned.
“He has assured you that she is okay right? Why do you keep on worrying yourself?” Ken asked.
“And you believe him? I don’t believe him. Serena might probably have gotten into another trouble with him, and he might have killed her just like he killed Charles. You know he killed Charles in my presence. It was horrible. He died in seconds without anyone even touching him.
I don’t trust the King or his Beta one bit.”
“You know Betas are protectors. They protect their loved ones with their lives. I think that’s exactly what you are doing right now. It’s your Beta self that is giving you all these doubts. You eagerly want to find her and make sure that she is okay, but deep down, inside your heart. Do you think she is really dead?” Ken asked.
Isaac sighed.
“I don’t know. Serena is far from me. I can’t feel her. I can’t mind-link her. It’s super frustrating. I just hope she is still alive and okay wherever she is right now,” Isaac sighed again.
“I hope so too because I really don’t know what the hell you’ll do if she wounds up dead. I hope she is really okay.” Kendrick mumbled.

Beta Adam’s phone rang to life, and he immediately answered it.
“What is it?” He asked.
“It’s me, Carolina, Adams,” A reply came.
“What is it, Carol?”
“It’s about her. I called to give you an update,” a reply came.
“Go on. Be quick; I’m leaving for King Zed’s office soon. Any good news?”
“Yes, there is. Her growing up is really affecting her emotional strength; it’ll be tough for her to be emotionally strong since she is not really used to it.” Carol reported.
“Do anything. The main reason she is there is for her to be emotionally strong. Your pay will be tripled if you succeed in doing that.” Beta Adam assured.
“Okay, I’ll keep trying over here.” A reply came, and the line went off.
