THE CEO ALPHA KING (-Possessive Zed-)
Writer’s P O V
King Zed laid down on Serena’s bed, with her head resting on his chest. They were still in Serena’s room, and King Zed was trying to help her understand fully well what it truly means to be his mate.
He has come to love that he was given a second chance with her, and he wanted her also to love it. Coming to understand and love it for him was everything. Serena laid comfortably on his chest with her two hands wrapping around his massive body. She looked so small compared to him.
She also enjoyed it as he rocked her hair gently as a father would to his daughter. Serena lifted her head to stare at his glittering eyes, the room was dark, but she could see him.
King Zed also looked down at her when he noticed her eyes staring at him.
“So, you mean that I am presently your mate? And in the human team, it means that I am your wife?” Serena asked happily. She was acting like a kid, probably due to the effect of the sudden rush of emotions she felt an hour ago.
“Yes.” King Zed nodded once. To fully understand it, he had to use the humans as an example, and she being half-human, she understood it well and felt excited about it.
“But…” Serena looked down.
“Humans do weddings, don’t they?” Serena asked, mumbling. “Are we gonna have a wedding then?”
King Zed pursed his lips forward in search of a proper answer. “Will you love that? That involves getting all the werewolves across the country to come down here.” King Zed explained.
Serena’s eyes widened. “Across the country? Why? Can’t it be a private wedding?” She questioned.
“No, I’m their King. They have to be present, and the ritual will go according. It will take days. I formally wanted to announce you as their Luna, but since you want a public binding, then it’ll be done on the same day that I announce you the new Luna.” King Zed explained.
“Ohh,” Serena oohed.
“I will love that so much. But is that even possible? Will they come?” Serena asked, looking unsure.
King Zed scoffed. “Is that even a question? Will they heed to their king’s calling? They know what will happen to them if they don’t attend.” King Zed said.
“What? What will happen?” Serena lifted her head to stare at him again.
“It’s best left unspoken. When you become a Luna, you’ll understand the power you hold. You need to command, and it’ll be done. You don’t have to ask. You command it.”
Serena once again nodded in understanding before resting her head on his chest again. The sound of his fast-beating heart was exciting to her ears. She felt hot hugging him like that.
Silence stepped in, and after some time. Serena lifted her head to stare at him with a smile on her face.
King Zed’s brows rose in curiosity. He does not want to read her mind. So he asked. “What is it?”
Serena shook her head and rested her head back on his chest. “It’s nothing.” She mouthed.
“I think I’m beginning to like you more. Like, it’s as if I’ve known you all my life.” Serena confessed the sudden feeling that overwhelmed her.
“You don’t think you like me, and you love me.” King Zed corrected proudly.
Serena lifted her head from his chest again to stare at him, this time higher. “Who told you that I love you? I didn’t say that.” Serena frowned.
“I know you love me because I feel the same way towards you. Personal feelings aside, this is what the mate bond does. It makes you fall in love with someone you just met. You can’t help it, and you love the person endlessly. You’ll be willing to sacrifice anything and everything for that one person, even if it means dying.” King Zed narrated, sounding a little pained, which Serena didn’t overlook.
“Why?” She inquired.
“How come you know so much?” His words, although, made Serena more excited. Yeah, hearing the king indirectly telling her how much he loves her doesn’t just happen in one night.
“I used to have a mate, Serena. I had one before, and you’re my second.”
His confession made Serena surprised and confused.
“I thought we only have one mate in a lifetime. How come I’m your second?” Serena asked.
“She’s dead anyway. She died 200 years ago, way before you were born, so you don’t have to be jealous.” King Zed scoffed at the word ‘Jealous.’
“I still don’t get the reason why I got two mates. It’s still a mystery to me. Maybe because you are special,” King Zed looked down at her and said.
It made Serena’s heart flutter that she found herself touching her chest to calm herself down.
“And I think part of the reason is to make me see good again, and I’ve been battling with unknown demons for years. I do lose control of myself, and I’ll end up killing thousands of people at once. Although l learned self-control, Elena helped me with that. But I can still lose control and kill many. I may look like I enjoy killing, but which King loves killing his subjects?” King Zed sighed at his own story.
Serena focused all her attention on him. She wanted to learn more about his past so much.
“This night shouldn’t be that night when I’ll tell you all about my past.” He paused and took his hand to her hair and caressed it. “I don’t want to scare you away from me, especially now you have become mine fully.”
Serena huffed. “You won’t scare me away. Remember that I like you.”
King Zed smirked. “You love me.” He corrected again.
“Yeah, whatever, but I want to know this at least,” she requested.
“What is it?”
“According to Elena, you’ll know your mate once you two crosses path. Why didn’t that happen in our case?” Serena inquired, looking curious.
King Zed sighed.
“That’s a good question, but you see, I don’t know the answer either. It might have to do with the fact that you are my second mate. I don’t know, and maybe it works like that. Maybe in our case, we won’t recognize the mate bond until we have come to terms with each other.”
“Then, I kept denying whatsoever my wolf had for yours. And you, you were terrified of me, so I think everything got hidden. Anyways that doesn’t matter now. We are together now, and we’ve recognized the mate bond.” King Zed cooed.
Serena sighed deeply and took her head down to his chest too. They stayed like that for a while before King Zed spoke up.
“Do you mind going to my room with me? It’s past midnight?” King Zed requested.
Serena smiled at his request. He is requested, and the thought amused her.
She chuckled. “What is it?” King Zed, who heard her chuckles, asked.
“Nothing really; I’m just surprised at your sudden change towards me. You now request of things instead of demanding.” Serena reasoned.
“You should get something from the day I realized that you are my mate. You became equal to me, and you have equal rights I have and can request or demand anything you want.”
“Really? I can request anything from you?” She asked with glittering eyes, and her head was now back up.
“Yes. You can.” King Zed confirmed.
“Okay, can you bring my brother back here, but not as a servant. I would love to see him every day, and I don’t like being apart from him.” Serena requested.
King Zed thought for a second before replying. “Consider that done. I’ll have my guards go bring him once it’s daybreak.” King Zed declared.
“No! Not that way. I don’t want it that way. He might be forced to come back here since you ordered it. I just want you to let your guards tell him to come back if he wants, who knows… he might not want to live here again.” Serena sighed at her last statement.
She hopes he listens and comes back to the castle.
“Okay, but I don’t think he’ll want to come back here. Your brother has issues of his own he needs to solve. Being around you might not allow him to solve them.” King Zed stated.
His words got Serena confused. “Issues?” She asked, but King Zed kept mute.
“Another thing I wanna know is, why do you have those powers you possess? Do you have them from birth?” Serena questioned.
“They came to me after I became crowned, not immediately I became crowned tho, they came to me but didn’t manifest until I became crowned. I don’t know the main reason I have them, maybe because I’m born a king.” King Zed replied.
Serena pouted her lips and nodded. “That makes sense. So will I possess one too?” She asked again.
King Zed chuckled. “I don’t know. Probably, you are already special either way. You are special for belonging to me and bringing the impossible to reality.” He spoke those words so softly. It melted Serena’s heart that she turned into a tomato.
Out of shyness, she hid her face at the crook of his neck.

Beta Adam headed to King Zed’s bed-chamber to see both King Zed and Serena coming out of Serena’s room. He paused and turned in their direction.
“Your Highness?” He called, looking surprised to see him. He started approaching them.
Serena, who didn’t think they would be seen together, looked down, a bit embarrassed.
“Morning, Adam.” King Zed grunted.
“Um… I’m sorry. Good morning, your Highness.” He greeted, but his gaze was focused on Serena. The act infuriated King Zed.
“Morning, Serena. How was your night?” Beta Adam greeted with a sweet voice, forcing Serena to look him in the eye. She was surprised at his sudden tone of voice.
Beta Adam continued looking at her with a sweet smile. “How was your night?” He repeated.
Serena looked up at King Zed, confused.
“I guess it was fine.” Beta Adam laughed and moved forward. He then kissed Serena’s two cheeks and stepped back, leaving Serena shocked.
It was his first time behaving like that to her. Could it be because I cried after he bought the car? He saw me cry. Is that the reason why he is suddenly behaving like this? Different thoughts ran through her head.
“What are you doing, Adam?” King Zed snarled. He was outraged this time.
“Nothing, your highness. I was just greeting her. We have become such good friends since we started working together. We now greet each other like that.” Beta Adam confessed, but King Zed didn’t hear any of it.
Before King Zed could utter another word, he spoke first. “Alright then, I can see that you are very busy with her. I was about to go up to your room, but I guess I’ll have to come back later.” Beta Adam rushed his words before turning away.
He could already feel his blood boiling, and he knew King Zed was behind it. He walked fast and ran into his room, then closed the door.
He pulled off all his dress and ran into the bathing tub.
Moon goddess, I will never do that again. I will never try to make him jealous again. I can’t believe I just did that. Beta Adam thought, almost crying as his temperature only kept rising.
Beta Adam stayed inside the ice-cold water for hours before finally getting himself.
He picked up his phone and dialed Elena’s number. Mind linking her would be better, but he has lost all energy.
Elena picked up at the third ring, and he narrated everything that happened to her. Concluding everything with,
“I swear with my life that I am not getting him jealous again.”
