THE CEO ALPHA KING
Chapter 27: Called upon
Writer’s POV
When Serena opened her eyes, the bright lights from the chandelier above her blinded her and she immediately closed them.
The bed was soft against her skin, and she could feel a duvet sprayed over her. As she slowly opened her eyes and looked around the room which felt familiar to her, she kept staring around until she realized where she was. Upon realization she shot up to a sitting position, shocked.
A wave of dizziness flushed through her and she closed her eyes, resting her back against the headboard before reopening them again to see a pair of cold grey ones fixed on her. She gasped in shock and recoiled back.
She was in his room! Lying on his bed!
What the hell am I doing here? She thought, looking around her as if to find the answers written on the wall.
She doesn’t understand why she was here, nor does she remember what happened the previous night.
Looking down, she noticed pieces of her torn dress clinging to her skin under the duvet and gasped again in shock.
She didn’t know what to say or what to do as her cheeks flushed red in embarrassment. She hoped for the king to say something first as she was too embarrassed to speak nor think, for fear that the king would read her thoughts. When he still didn’t say anything, she gently climbed down from the bed and stood naked in front of him.
Five minutes passed, and no word was uttered; King Zed looked down at her silently, and she shifted uncomfortably under his penetrating gaze.
It made her very confused; her legs shook, and she struggled to remain standing; even tears gathered up in her eyes and threatened to fall, but she held them in and kept looking down to the floor.
“You sleep very deeply, you slept through the night without even making a sound. Just lying there like a corpse.” King Zed finally spoke up.
Serena gulped and said nothing in response. It took every fiber of her body to remain the way she was; she attempted to look up and read his facial expression but she changed her mind very quickly. That would mean breaking the rule.
The king walked to the window, his gaze straying from her, and she nearly breathed a sigh of relief.
“You can not remember what happened. I want you to remember what you did and why I needed to save someone like you.” He spoke, his gaze fixed on his estate as if admiring everything he owned.
Serena slowly turned to face him, and in an instant, memories from the previous night flashed through her mind, replaying everything that had occurred.
Her eyes widened at the realization.
The maid. She screamed inside her head.
What exactly did that maid give me? Serena wondered.
“So you took something from someone you barely knew?” King Zed frowned as he returned his gaze to her.
She hung her head, speechless.
Serena remembered the moment the king arrived and how she ripped her dress in front of him, as well as the sexual urge and desire that consumed her.
Serena bites her lower lip hard as she recalls the memory. She wishes she could simply disappear, or that the ground would open up and swallow her whole.
How come she was still standing behind the king? She questioned herself; embarrassment was an understatement of how she felt right now.
“You acted like a she-wolf in heat, so I called a doctor to examine you. I need to know what the human girl gave you; for now, go to your room and dress.” King Zed directed, not turning to look at her.
“Yes, master,” Serena murmured, relieved he was letting her go. She turned and quickly exited through the door.
The guards at the door turned to stare at her awkwardly. Of course, they saw the king carry her in last night, and since they did not see her leave, they could only speculate what had happened.
It seemed strange to them because no woman had ever slept in the king’s chambers before. It made Serena the first person to do so.
Serena noticed their curious eyes on her and bit her lips harder.
She prayed that she wouldn’t run into anyone till she got to her room but her prayer wasn’t answered as she bumped into Beta Adam and a man who she couldn’t recognize.
Beta Adam gave her a knowing look before continuing to walk with the man beside him.
Serena could not say anything because she was too embarrassed to form a proper sentence.
She came across two other servants who stayed at the mini-mansion; they gave her a strange look before she walked past them and into her room.
After she entered, she locked the door and rested her head against it.
Oh my gosh! Moon goddess! What just happened?
Is this a dream? No! I must be really dreaming. How is it possible that I slept on the king’s bed? Did he sleep beside me?
Moon goddess! Serena gasped and covered her mouth with shame, her cheeks flushing red.
Hold on, why would he allow me to sleep on his bed?
He couldn’t have possibly shared the bed with me. Where on earth did he sleep then? Oh, he has an inner room, he must have slept there.
This is weird. This is really strange. How did things get this bad?
I can’t believe the king saw me naked!
Where is Isaac? Oh, goddess! I can’t do this anymore. I just want to die. I want to disappear from this earth. She soon began to cry.
I wish I could just call Isaac. I miss him; if he were still here, he could have stopped this from happening to me. What am I going to do without him?
And what was that? I spent a whole night in the king’s chamber. In his room?!
Who will believe that? I can’t believe it either. Serena laughed at her thoughts before slapping her head and walking into the bathroom to shower.
When she was finished and everything had changed, she jumped into bed and buried her face in the pillow.
“Serena, to the king’s chambers now!” Serena suddenly heard Beta Adam’s voice speak telepathically to her.
Did he just mind-link me? Serena thought sitting up on her bed.
And did he just ask me to go back to the king’s chamber? Someone, please save me. Please save me. Let me disappear, I can’t do this anymore.
I thought I was strong enough but now I know I’m not. I just can’t face him anymore. Serena thought as she climbed out of bed and exited the room.
She was relieved to see no one in the hallway, no curious stares at her. She knew the news of what happened would have gone around the whole castle.
I really don’t want to do this. Serena thought sadly but didn’t have a choice as she got closer to the king’s chambers. She would still have to face the guards, and her cheeks would turn red. And then she would have to face the king once more.
The king, on whose bed she literally spent the night.
On a man’s bed?! She screamed at herself. This was so new to her and she had never experienced it before
“Where are you, Serena? Don’t keep the king waiting.” Beta Adam mind-linked her again.
She hastened up and walked towards the guards and they resumed staring at her, exchanging curious looks with each other.
“Your Highness….” One of them announced.
“Let her in.” Beta Adam cut the guard before he could finish.
The guards stepped out of the way after opening the door for Serena. Serena slowly entered to see the strange man she had seen with Beta Adam earlier.
The look the strange man gave her indicated that he might have heard about the scandal from last night, and she flushed in embarrassment at this.
“Good morning, Your Highness.” Serena bowed in submission as she got closer to them, her gaze drifting from the strange man briefly.
Her eyes settled on the strange man after the greetings, and she couldn’t help but notice his features; he was a tall man with dark hair and soft blue eyes, and he wore a dark suit that made him appear taller than Adam.
Beta Adam was a little bit confused by Serena’s greetings.
She woke up on his bed, right? Did she not greet him then, or is she still intoxicated? Beta Adam was curious.
Being a Beta, a right-hand man to the most powerful werewolf King ever known, was no easy task, and he had to do whatever the king asked.
Most Betas were friends with their Alphas, but he would not dare to be his friend. He had never considered trying it out. The king was extremely fearful and dangerous.
“Check on her, Elijah.” King Zed gave the order, turning to face the man and his beta who stood beside him.
“Right away your Highness.” The man bowed a bit before opening a box Serena didn’t notice was with him.
“Please come and sit down here.” The man urged Serena who quickly moved to the sofa and sat down, her curious gaze still focused on him.
When he took out a syringe from his box, she discovered he was a doctor. True, the king had mentioned him earlier.
He collected Serena’s blood and mixed it with something she Serena did not recognize, and when he was done with his examination, he turned towards King Zed’s direction, where he was busy discussing with his Beta.
“My King. Your Highness.” The doctor called King Zed’s attention.
“Speak, Elijah.”
“From the test, I just performed, I was able to discover what kind of drug it was that she ingested. The drug is used mostly by humans, and since she is half-human, it also affects her. The drug is prosaic, it is used to boost sexual needs in humans. It has other side effects which can cause dizziness. It is popularly known to be very effective, most humans won’t be able to rest until they….”
The doctor paused and cleared his throat in an uncomfortable manner before he continued.
“Until they have their ‘release’. I don’t know if she already had that; if she hasn’t had her release, it might affect her in the near future. She will become more horny whenever she sees the opposite sex, and she will come up with many crazy ideas….”
“That is enough. I’ve heard enough, you can leave, Elijah.” King Zed interrupted a hint of anger in his voice.
“At your command, your Highness.” Doctor Elijah bowed deeply before leaving with his medical tools.
Serena remained seated on the sofa, trying to convince herself that she had not just heard the doctor’s words.
She just can not accept that she ingested such a thing last night.
And did he just say that I must have my release? Release? I don’t even know how to get that. I have never been intimate with a man before, I don’t know what it feels like. What on earth am I going to do?
And he said that if I do not get my release, it will affect me. I will get horny whenever I see the opposite sex. No, I can not let that happen, especially since the king calls on me all the time.
What am I going to do? Getting horny in front of the king. That can’t happen again. I can’t let that happen to me.
I need to speak with Isaac. I need to talk to him badly. I need his help to get through this. Serena thought deeply, biting down on her nails as she did.
“Adam, I need you to send for her immediately.” The king gave the order.
“Yes, your Highness,” Beta Adam bowed as he walked towards the door, giving Serena a final glance before exiting.
There was a moment he wanted to laugh when Doctor Elijah had mentioned release but he knew better than to laugh in front of the king. It will probably infuriate him.
How did she get herself into that? Adam wondered as he directed one of the guards outside the king’s door to call Emily.
The guard returned with Emily, who was shaking with fear. She knew she was doomed the moment King Zed caught her last night. And as she followed the Beta into the king’s chambers, she prayed for her survival.
