The CEO Alpha King

"Little wolf, for your mistakes. You are going to work as my slave from now onwards. Do you agree?" Mr Zed asked. I gulped, nodding quickly. Not that I had a choice. My name is Serena. A weak and clumsy she-wolf, and because of that, I had landed into trouble...

Chapter 1 Fucked up

Fucked Up

Serena's POV

As I stood in front of one of the biggest and tallest skyscrapers in the city, I couldn't help but feel in awe at it. With the bright 8am sun shining brightly and reflecting against the Apex, it looked like a magical castle except with glass as it's walls. It was tall, huge and spoke of Wealth.

With the inscription 'WILLIAM ZEE FASHION INDUSTRY' just at the center of the building, a wave of pride flushed through me.

I was going to be working here!

The biggest fashion industry in the country, home to beautiful and recognized models. It was an empire on its own.

I couldn't stop the rush of excitement that rushed through me as I thankful appreciated my sister in my mind. She works here and had secured a job for me at the last minute.

"Hey!" A loud voice shouted from inside the building, and I recognized the older man from my interview a week ago.

"Why are you standing there? Aren't you one of the new interns? Get your fucked up ass in!" He yelled And I hurriedly snapped out of my awe, rushing excitedly into the building.

"Go straight. Follow that line and you'll see a door. Your fellow interns are there, the president wants to meet each and every one of you." He pointed towards a direction just opposite what I figured was a lounge area.

I nodded my head in thanks, rushing through the corridors while admiring every office I passed through. The interior of the building was far more exquisite than the exterior.

With glass doors, sparkling chandeliers hanging from very high ceilings, and beautiful artworks hanging off sterile white walls. The whole place was gorgeous.

I found the door, took a deep breath and pulled it open. My gaze fell on four other guys in the room, they sat in single chairs as each of them eyes fixed solely on me.

I recognized them immediately from the interview and I realised I had been the only girl who must have been picked.

I had no doubt that my sister might have put in a good word for me so I got selected.

I ignored their glances, but mostly because I was shy and hurriedly went in, shutting the door slightly and taking the seat closest to me.

I hadn't sat down completely when the door opened again to reveal a young woman with bright red hair, a frown on her lips and blue eyes that glared daggers at everyone before stopping at me.

I shifted uncomfortably at the attention before she spoke in a fierce voice. "Number One rule. Never be late." She said, walking in and slamming the door shut loudly, I jerked in my seat.

"I'm sorry." I whispered, and I saw her nod before looking at the other guys. I almost sigh in relief.

"Yes, as I was saying. The CEO of our company, Mr Zed Williams will come to personally see you guys. I'll advise you to act normal but brave at the same time. Don't make any silly mistake when speaking when you aren't spoken to." She said, folding her arms in all seriousness.

"Mr Zed hates that." Her blue eyes turned to me once more.

Why is she staring at me that way? Did I do something wrong again? I wondered, taking my eyes to the floor this time, not wanting to feel her penetrating gaze.

"What is your name?" She pointed to me in question, unfolding her arms to watch me accusingly.

"Me?" I asked, pointing towards myself acting foolishly like I always do.

"Yes. You," she rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"It's Serena ma'am." I answered, almost standing up in fear to respond to her.

"Serena what?" She asked again, louder this time and I couldn't help but rise abruptly to my feet. I could feel the other four pairs of eyes burning holes into me as anxiety filled my veins.

"Serena Williams."

I watched as she took out a file that she had dropped on the table upon walking in. She furrowed her eyebrows as she scanned through it before sighing, dropping it and facing me, softly this time.

"Okay Serena, I'll personally advise you to sit at the back and be firm. Don't behave the way you did earlier or you might get yourself thrown out." She advised, and I nodded vigorously before taking my seat, breathing loudly in relief.

"Ok now. I'll leave you guys, stay here until the boss comes, you can't leave this place." Her stern voice boomed, and from the corner of my eyes I saw the guys nod.

"I'll leave now." She added, snatching her file before exiting the room, slamming the door shut once more.

I flipped my head on the table, feeling lighter as she left. I wiped my sweaty palms against my gown, before putting my hand above my chest to calm my beating heart.

This was supposed to be the time my wolf in me would try to calm me, but all that was left was just my own mind constantly reminding how clumsy and weak I was. And how I was so undeserving of anything good.

And not only did I think so. No. My sister was a constant reminder of everything I wasn't. She had the beauty, brains, perfect figure, dashing smile, smooth skin.

And though I could accept she was far better than me, what I couldn't come to accept was the constant reminder that I was the one who killed my mother.

While I hadn't taken a knife or gun at my mother, she had died giving birth to me. And my sister, joined by the same mother but not the same father, drilled that into my head every time she got.

I remember I used to get mad at her when she accused me of it, but after some time, seeing how far she had gone in modelling and securing a bright future for herself, I came to realise that maybe I was the one with issues.

The clumsy she-wolf, like everyone called me. The one who got rejected in every company I applied to. The one who didn't go to college. The ugly one.

And after giving in to her, she finally announced to me that she had secured a job for me at the same company she worked at. While it wasn't my dream job, it was still something I was grateful to her for.

"Serena." I heard a male voice call me. I lifted my head up to stare at the guy sitting in front of me. His blonde hair swept back from his face to reveal bright green eyes. He had a dimple in his cheeks as he smiled at me. He was handsome. I couldn't deny that.

"Hey." I heard him snap his fingers at me to draw my attention back to him.

"Yes." I shook my head, snapping out of my gaze. I hadn't realized I had been admiring his eyes as a blush tainted my cheeks.

He chuckled as the other guys and I wanted to sink into the ground.

"Your phone is ringing." he shook his head in amusement and I realised my phone was ringing loudly in my bag.

I immediately took it out to see it was my sister calling. I picked it and placed it over my left ear.

"Serena, are you here already?" Her voice sounded, impatiently.

"I'm at the company but-" I started to say but as usual, she never let me speak.

"Ask around for the dressing room. Come there now." She ordered before ending the call abruptly.

My mind flashed at the warning the red haired woman had said, concerning not leaving until the CEO arrived. I already angered her once and I couldn't disobey this time.

I sighed deeply, taking my phone to dial my sister but it went straight to voicemail. I groaned and confusion welled through me.

What should I do?

Should I quickly go and tell her I wasn't supposed to leave?

Hopefully the CEO wouldn't have arrived by then.

I looked at the time and it read, 8:17am. By 8:30 I should be back here. No harm done. And as quick as a fox.

I rose to my feet, flinging my bag on my shoulders as I made my way towards the door, when a voice called out to me.

"Are you going somewhere?" I turned to see the blonde guy who had spoken to me earlier, his eyes laced with worry.

"I will be back." I replied to him tiredly before walking out.

I rushed to a worker dressed in a corporate suit. He stops to glare at me, glancing through my oversized gown and worn out shoes.

"What is it?" He asked, his voice tainted with a little bit of disgust.

"Please, where is the dressing room?" I ask, sounding as polite as I could, ignoring the stare he gave me once more.

Seems like everyone had an attitude problem in the company. I said nothing though before he spoke again.

"Fifth floor." He walked away not waiting for me to utter a thank you. I rushed towards the elevator, narrowly missing a lady who was walking with a husky.

I got to the dressing room completely awe by the numerous clothes hanging off different racks, everyone seemed to be busy as they went about the large room.

My eyes settled on one of the models already dressed. She was in a long silver gown, with her blonde hair styled perfectly and felt in waves over her shoulders. She stood in a pose with a camera shutter in front of her.

The moment her gaze found mine, I blushed and went around in search of my sister. Maybe I wasn't supposed to be looking. I wasn't sure, but I didn't stick around to find out.

I found my sister at the extreme end of the room, in a perfect red gown that clinged to her like a second skin. Her curves stood out as she admired herself in the mirror, her hair tied up exposing pale smooth skin. Her hazel eyes found mine immediately and she turned to me. A frown working itself upon her bright red lips.

"You are late." She walked time folding her hand in front of her chest, pushing her breast up a little.

"I'm sorry Kate. But I came to tell you that we were asked to stay back and wait for the CEO because he is gonna be seeing us before we start anything," I said to her, glancing briefly at a model who passed me, a make up artist hot on her heels.

"The CEO isn't coming to work today." Kate rolled her eyes, ignoring me as she grabbed my hand leading me to a heap of clothes on a large sofa.

"I need you to sort out these dresses for me. Colour by colour, texture by texture." She orders and I open my mouth to speak but she beats me to it.

"You are nothing but an assistant here. This is your work. You are here to assist us in getting dressed. And that includes sorting out our clothes. Today is your first day, you should work without complaining, come on. Go to work," she snapped her fingers at me before walking off to talk to another model who just walked in.

I sigh before getting down to work. She said that the CEO wasn't coming to work today after all, I might as well just do it and return after that.

"Kate, don't tell me that 'thing' is your sister?" I heard a voice ask and I turned to see the model I had been gawking at earlier, eyeing me while talking to my sister.

"Sadly, my mom adopted her out of pity before she died." I heard Kate yawn as if bored.

"What a relief. You're so pretty while she looks like a lizard." I heard her chuckle.

"Come on Betty. Why refer to her as a lizard in her presence? You should have just said it behind her back." I heard my sister feign sadness before laughing.

"Oh please. What can she do to me? She is an intern, I can easily get her fired," Betty said, joining Kate in laughter.

But I didn't turn to look at them as I continued sorting out the dresses, my sight getting blurry as I felt tears gathering around them.

"It's alright Serena. You are not a lizard. You are many things but not a lizard, just ignore them, ignore them." A voice whispered in my head.

Many times I was sad or depressed, there was that tiny voice, encouraging me. And sadly, I knew it wasn't my wolf.

After finishing sorting the dress, I looked around to see my sister and her model friend and left, probably for a shoot. Leaving the dresses, inside what to do next, I left the room, not rushing out since my sister had said the CEO wouldn't be coming.

I passed by a coffee maker, and decided to get one. The hot cup in my hand calmed me a little, and I started to make my way back to the office where I was asked to wait.

I opened the door and immediately bumped into a huge figure in front of me, the coffee slipping out of my hands and splashing against black ironed suit as I lost my balance, smacking my butt on the floor.

A strong, dangerous and powerful aura overwhelmed me, forcing me to submit as the figure turned to me slowly. I raised my eyes to see a tall man with black hair and cold grey eyes, my heart sank as fear ran through my veins as I recognized the man I had bumped into.

The Werewolf King. The Alpha King, and above all, The CEO of William Zee Fashion Industry.

Mr Zed Williams. Oh, I'm so fucked up.

Chapter 2 His office

His office

Serena's POV

As I sat on the floor, frightened, my lungs welled up with fear, my veins burned with nervousness as I started to shake, my eyes leaving the alpha as they fixed on the ground in submission.

I forced my mouth to open but my fear was too great and I couldn't force my voice out, instead I looked from the corner of my eyes, noticing a crowd of people forming a small circle around us.

Another man came to stand beside the Alpha, Mr Zed and I heard hushed whisperings before Mr Zed started to move towards me.

His aura had me shuffling backwards, still not looking up, I tried to move away from him, but with each step he took closer to me, my heart thumped loudly in my chest, threatening to jump out.

Then the weirdest thing happened, he passed me!

I looked up to see his coffee stained back to me, as he continued walking down the hallway, the other workers' mouths opened in awe before bowing in respect.

He paid them no mind as he spoke over the phone to someone and when he disappeared from sight I finally remembered to breathe.

I gasped rapidly for air to fill my lungs as thoughts came crashing into me at once.

Oh moon goodness!

What the hell did I do?!

I'm so fucked! And scared!

I couldn't even apologise! I was too frozen to even speak. What do I do now?!

I took my fingers to my lips, chewing down my nails nervously, a habit I had gotten used to the past few years. And while I sat there lost in my own thoughts, I began to hear audible whispers.

"That little bïtch. How can she be so stupid?" One of the workers said from behind me.

"Haha, she's really lucky he got distracted by that call but I don't think she'll work here anymore." This time a man spoke, his voice laced with amusement.

"She looks so stupid, how did she even get in here?" A woman asked, and I could imagine her glaring hatefully at me.

"Dirty fool."

Without realizing, my eyes welled with tears as they started to run down my cheeks, leaving a bit trail behind. Of course. Hearing these words weren't foreign to me. I knew what I was.

But hearing them come from strangers, people who didn't even know me, hurt me the most. I had made a fool of myself on the first day at work.

Hell, I'm still sitting on the floor!

With the coffee sprayed around me, I started to get up slowly, but my teary eyes didn't allow me to see properly as I started to stumble when a pair of arms grabbed me gently, pulling me up.

I started to mutter a thank you when I was faced with a familiar blonde hair and green eyes. The other intern -whose name I still didn't know- that had told me my phone had been ringing.

Standing on both my feet again, he gently led me to what I discovered was the storage room. I sighed feeling relieved that I didn't have any pair of judgemental eyes on me anymore.

I started to cry softly.

"Moon goddess! Serena or what's your name! How can you be so-?" He paused, sighing deeply and touching my shoulders reassuringly.

"He could have just fired you when you haven't even fully resumed. You are a werewolf. I have never seen a werewolf so weak and clumsy." He uttered softly as if trying to mince the hurtfulness of his words.

"I. I-" I tried to say something but I couldn't trust my voice and couldn't risk bursting into tears.

"You should stay here for the main time. Well, at least until the tension outside is gone. The CEO has given us the permission to resume work but you weren't there with us. So much trouble on your first day." He clicked his tongue at the end, smiling a little to try and soften the mood before leaving. He patted my shoulder as he walked out.

******

When I got home, my eyes were red and puffy from having cried too much. I walked quietly to my small room at the end of the hallway, ignoring any noise I could have heard from the kitchen.

Throwing my bag on my desk, I flopped on my bed, grabbing my pillow and holding it close to me.

I felt worn out, tired and worried.

Does this mean I'll never have to work there again?

Was I fired already even without him saying anything?

Technically, I wasn't given permission yet to work by the CEO and after what I had done to him today. I wondered if I ever would get a chance to work there anymore.

I clinged my pillow tighter, shitting my eyes and tried to get some sleep. I was emotionally drained after everything that had happened today and I needed to rest.

I heard the sound of a car pulling up outside and could only guess Kate was back from work. I could hear the slamming of the front door.

Yeah. She was pissed.

I couldn't bear the thought of her nagging and complaining tonight, not when I was totally feeling like shit.

"Serena! Serena!!" I heard her shriek my name, her footsteps coming down the hallway angrily before she slammed open my door and dragged me out of bed by the hair so quickly that I didn't have the time to blink.

"You fool! You disgraced me at the company today. Why on earth did you spill coffee on our CEO'S suit? Are you nuts? Have you really gone nut you silly thing?" She started to shout and I tried to wrench away from her grip but she held me tighter as she continued.

"Why did mom give birth to a silly thing like you as my sister? Why? I hate the fact that you are my sister a lot. You disgust me. You disgust me a lot." She spat.

"I was only trying to help you work but you always end up disgracing me. From today onwards, if you see me at the company, act like you don't know me. Don't ever call me by my name. I don't wanna get mixed with your misery or I fear I might become miserable like you. Do you hear me?" She shook me by the hair and I mumbled a small yes.

I fell to the floor the moment she stepped out, resting my back against the bed and pulling my knees closer to my chest, and started to cry once more.

It wasn't more than a minute when my door opened again to reveal my step dad. He was tall, with brown curly hair around his forehead.

"Hey clumsy girl, what did you do again today? Why is your sister so mad at you?" My step father asked, looking around my room.

"It's nothing," I mumbled in reply to him and he said nothing before he turned back and left. I shut my door, climbed into my bed and clung to my pillow once more.

My thoughts wandered to my mother and I cried more.

Why did you die giving birth to me? I murmured. It was rare for werewolves to die at childbirth, but my mother had been human, my sister was also human. But my father was a werewolf and I had inherited his genes.

For a second, I imagined my mother here with me. What would she have thought of me? Would she be proud I was different from the rest? Or disappointed in me?

Fresh tears rolled down my cheeks and I snuggled closer in my blankets

"Stop crying. Everything would be ok." That small voice at the back of my mind whispered and I wiped my eyes, before falling asleep.

**

I woke up to sun rays reflecting on my face, burning me slightly. I groaned, opening my eyes gently to see it was already bright outside.

I realised I had slept in the same position as last night, and still in my work clothes from yesterday. I yawned, my eyes wandered to my clock just beside my bed.

Fuck!

It was 7:30am!

I had to be at work by 8:00!

I jumped out of the bed, running into my bathroom while taking off my clothes quickly. I stumbled a few times but kept the pace.

I set a new record of taking my bath in a few minutes and ran back out, heading to my closet to pick out a nice yellow gown I had worn to my birthday party last year.

I hurriedly dressed, picking up my phone and bag before rushing out of my room, struggling to put on my shoes.

"Kate!" I called out to my sister who was just stepping out of the door, but she didn't respond and I increased my pace following her outside.

The hot sun warmed my damp skin as I ran to Kate who was stepping into her car. A black Mercedes, she had bought few months ago.

"Would you please let me come with you? I'm already late." I pleaded, watching Kate freeze a little before she turned to me. A devious smirk on her lips.

"No." She said, getting into her car and zoomed off.

I stumped my feet, before walking to the bus stop. I would have to take a bus today since I was already late. Since I always walked to my destinations.

The company's building came into view and after handling all my money for transport fare, I hurried out, and ran to the entrance of the building only to be stopped by two security guards.

"What do you want?" One of them asked me.

"I am one of the newly employed workers here," I answered, gulping down the fear that was already climbing up my throat.

"Where is your card?"

"I don't have one." I remembered seeing the others with a pass card. They were all given yesterday after getting permission from the CEO.

"Then you can't enter until you get one."

Shit! What do I do now?

I looked past the guard to see Kate walking into the building, her phone in her ear as she smiled.

"Kate! Kate!!" I called, happily.

She turned to me, still talking to whosoever on the phone.

"Please help me. They aren't letting me in," I pleaded.

"Do you know her miss?" The other security guard asked Kate and she beamed.

"No, I don't. She must be a fan." She said, winking at me before walking away from my sight.

I gasped, stumbling a little as shock filled my face leaving me hopeless. Of course she would do such a thing after I helped her yesterday to sort out those clothes knowing fully well I could get into trouble.

Realisation shook me. Did she do that on purpose? Lie to me that the CEO wouldn't be coming so I wouldn't get my pass?

Of course. I almost laughed. I was such a fool!

"You'll have to leave this premises, miss." The guard said.

"I really have to go in, sir. I work here now." I started to plead and just before he could grab my hand, a voice sounded.

"What is going on here?"

We turned to see the red haired woman from yesterday, and the guards bowed in greeting.

"Good morning ma'am"

"Ma'am she is distracting the others, claiming she is a worker here."

The lady rolled her eyes before turning to me. "Where is your card? They must have given you one. where is it?" She demanded.

I gulped, unsure of what to say.

"I..I.. I couldn't get one. I wasn't opportuned to see the CEO yesterday."

She sighed before glaring at me. "Follow me." She said, and I staggered after her, smiling triumphantly.

As we walked, I noticed a lot of people bowing in respect as they greeted her. We got into an elevator and went into a large door.

On stepping into the office, my jaw dropped at the decor of the room. It was huge with a big desk at the center, and an office chair behind it. Two Hite sofas facing each other at the left.

But when I read the glass tag sitting on her desk. I froze in my spot and my jaw dropped to the floor.

Madam Elena Lucas. Vice President of William Zee Fashion Industry.

"So why didn't you get a pass? Where were you when the others met with the CEO?" She questions, walking to her seat as she glared at me.

"I..I was called by my sister to sort out clothes. I told her that we were asked to remain in the room you asked us to stay in but she told me that the CEO wasn't gonna come to work yesterday." I explained truthfully.

There was something about this woman, an aura around her showed that she was a werewolf. An alpha.

"You shouldn't have left that room in the first place." She said, a hint of irritation in her voice. And I felt calm, I knew she was angry at me but I couldn't feel any hatred rolling off her towards me.

"He will be in his office soon. When he comes, I'll send you to him. You'll be going with his coffee, that is the only way for you to meet him again after missing your chance yesterday." She announced, standing up and coming to meet me.

I stumbled backwards as my eyes widened in fear.

Going to meet him in his office? With his coffee?

Oh no! Not his office. And definitely not coffee again.

Chapter 3 His Slave

His Slave

Serena's POV

"Are you listening to me?" Elena's voice boomed and I shook my head, snapping out of my thoughts.

"Yes. Yes ma'am." I replied. She pointed at the door once more, ushering me out.

"You can wait outside. I'll be out soon."

"Ok."

I sigh in relief, resting my head against the wall outside.

"You can sit down here." A voice called from behind me, and I remembered the face. She was Elena's secretary. I had seen her a few times yesterday with the vice president.

I watched as she went to her desk just beside the Madam's door, she raised her brows at me and I muttered an 'Oh' before taking a seat just opposite the door.

Unannounced, my mind wandered to the Alpha King. How was I going to face him after the accident yesterday? Surely, this time he would fire me on the spot as he was distracted yesterday.

Or should I just decline Elena's request and just try another method?

There was no other fucking method! My mind yelled. But what if I made the same mistake from yesterday?

I'm panicking! Calm down Serena!

And after twenty more minutes of fighting with myself, as the secretary gave me strange looks, Elena finally came out of her office, and I stood up too quickly, she raised her brows at me.

"What? Scared?" She asked, a little hint of amusement in her tone.

"Ye- yes." I answered, rubbing my arm nervously. I heard her chuckle before speaking again.

"You should be scared. He is the king. Everyone is afraid of him. You have to be extremely careful around him lest you get yourself into trouble." She said to me and turned to her secretary who rose in respect.

"Get me the files for the models." Then she turned back to me. "Stop that. Calm down and listen to me."

I stopped rubbing my arms and paid attention to whatever she was going to say next.

"Mr Zed likes his coffee black and at exactly 70 degrees temperature. No milk. No sugar. No flavours. His cup is the black one at the top of the cupboard. She instructed and I nodded obediently.

The coffee wouldn't be a problem as I was an exceptional coffee maker, with four years experience at the coffee shop downtown. The main struggle would be serving him.

All I could pray for right now would be for him not to recognize me from yesterday, because that was the only way to avoid getting fired today.

Moon goddess. Please don't let him remember me. I silently prayed.

"Run along now." She finished before turning back to her secretary who had pulled out a file and was handing it to her.

"Thank you ma'am." I muttered before walking down the hallway, and all the while I could feel her gaze burning into my back. When I turned to the elevator, I finally released the breath I had been holding.

After a few minutes of going from floor to floor, not wanting to talk to anyone because of the way they stared at me. The accident from yesterday must have spread through the office.

I finally found the Kitchenette and started with the coffee immediately. I made sure the temperature was perfect, and everything was in place.

I placed the coffee on a small tray I had found, took a deep breath and left the kitchenette. After asking a few people for the CEOs office, I finally made my way to the other side of the building, avoiding the curious stares I got from other coworkers.

I was extra careful this time to avoid a repeat of yesterday. The last thing I needed was making the same mistake twice in a row.

As I stood in the cold elevator, the coffee in hand, my heart rate started to pick up as I watched the numbers count to the very top floor.

Mr Zed's office was at the last floor of the building giving him the space he deserved. I breathed in as the elevator ding, alerting me I was at my destination.

With shaky hands, I stepped into the floor, finding the only door in the hallway and walking carefully towards it.

I noticed someone standing at the entrance of the door, and though his back was to me, I knew who he was. He was the man who had been with Me Zed yesterday, distracting him with a phone call.

He might not know, bue he saved me yesterday. A tiny smile broke from my face as I approached him, he turned abruptly at the sound of my footsteps.

I felt the power surge from him as he stared in confusion at me. From the aura he bled. I could only assume he was a Beta, a Beta to Mr Zed, the Alpha King.

I watched as his bored eyes drifted to the coffee in my hand and he raised a brow at me.

"You are the one serving him coffee?" He asked, and I nodded too quickly in response.

He sighs, stepping away from the door, but not before turning the door knob and ushering me inside.

"Be careful not to offend him." He advised, before nodding his head at me.

My heart rate picked up again as I stepped foot into the office. Immediately, an overwhelming scent hit me, as I felt the temperature drop. A strong, powerful aura filled the room and I almost ran back out in fear.

I heard the door close behind me causing me to jump a little in fright and I thought I heard the Beta chuckle outside.

I glanced around the room. It was freaking huge! With glass walls that reflected the beautiful city, white ceiling with a huge chandelier dropping from it.

A huge desk sat at the center with a MacBook, and various files over the desk. There was also a chair behind it and a throne flashed in my mind.

I noticed a head just above the neck of the chair and I almost gasped in fear.

He is here! He's freaking here!

Of course dumbass, this is his office. I almost yelled at myself.

I started to grow nervous, my knees grew weak, and my hands became unsteady, the cup dangled left and right a little.

And despite the room being cold, I started to feel hot, confused and scared. What should I do? Should I just drop the coffee and leave? Or just run out immediately?

The power radiating off him was enough to make me bow in respect.

I walked carefully towards his table, feeling his power surge around me and dropped the coffee on his table before standing awkwardly behind him. His back still to me like he hadn't heard me.

I think I should just leave. I thought, and maybe come back when he was in a better mood. Because despite him having sharp senses, he still hasn't said a word to me or acknowledged my presence.

I took a step back, keeping my eyes on his back turned to me. Then I took another, nothing happened. I almost smiled, maybe he truly hadn't noticed me, now I could quickly leave and no one would notice.

I was some at the door, just a few more steps, I was happy, glad I was leaving his presence. A smile broke out of my face.

"Stop. Get back here."

I froze, my smile fell, my heart stopped and my eyes widened at the sound of his voice.

This was it. I was going to be killed today.

I carefully looked up, my hands shaking and my knees almost buckled in fear. But he wasn't looking at me, instead his cold gaze was focused on the coffee on his desk, and I almost breathed a sigh of relief.

His extended his fingers to pick up his cup, and I shivered in anticipation. What would he think of it? Would he like it? I started to shake.

He brought it to his lips and took a sip. My breath left my throat. There was a blank look on his face and I wasn't sure if he liked it or he didn't. But I noticed something flash across his face like relief but it was gone before I could read it.

He dropped down the cup and I waited for him to say something but he didn't. His gaze still didn't leave the cup, completely ignoring me

There was an awkward silence between us and I wondered what to do next. Take the cup away with the coffee still in it? Leave after he has called me back? Or say something?

I decided to do the first, and slowly reached for the cup, he still didn't say anything and I held the cup, then started to pull away when his eyes turned to me.

I shook immediately, the cup sliding from my hand and tumbling across his desk, the content flying out and splashing over his desk, a few files and then his suit!

Not again!

His eyes widened as he shifted backwards a little, looking at the mess I made before his eyes fixed on me with a cold deadly glare that sent shivers down my spine.

I quickly found my tongue.

"I am sorry. I am so sorry." I started, watching him stand up muttering a 'Shit' and ignoring me once more to face the door.

"Adam!" He called, his voice boomed with anger and disgust.

The door burst open and his Beta walked in.

"Your Highness." Adam walked in, glancing shockingly at me and at the mess before walking to his Alpha.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to." I pleaded, my eyes staring to well with tears.

The temperature dropped once more, and I almost started suffocating with the aura change around me, I could feel his anger rolling off him in waves.

I had wronged the Alpha. Again!

"Order for a new suit now! Also get cleaners to come clean this mess off my table!" He ordered and Adam bowed a little before starting to leave.

"Take her away with you. Let me think of a benefitting punishment to give to her. I'm sure she is the lowlife who wasted her coffee on me yesterday." He said, turning away from me in anger.

"Oh, I'm so sorry," I cried again, fear starting to run down my arms as I dreaded the punishment that would come after.

Adam walked back to me. He picked me up from the floor like I weighed nothing before dragging me out from the King's office.

"I warned you to be careful around him. You, a werewolf, should know better not to offend him." Adam hissed, glaring at me as I cried silently outside the office.

But I said nothing in response as he continued to drag me down the hall and into a room, pushing me in it.

"Behave yourself and don't even think of escaping." He warned before slamming the door shut, leaving me in the empty room.

I started to sob loudly this time. I felt so stupid, so clumsy. I just couldn't get anything right.

Even the voices outside the door proved me right.

"Oh, I wonder what that one did for her to enter that room." A voice said pitifully.

"I pity her." Another one said, and I cried harder.

"She looks like that girl from yesterday. I knew the CEO wasn't going to let her leave."

"There goes another soul. He might end up killing this one. Everyone could feel his anger. She must have pissed him off badly." A girl said.

"Stupid girl."

I heard some more words directed at me, but I couldn't do anything. He was going to kill me, no doubt about that. This was the end of the road for me.

I guess I could try to be happy, after all, I was going to meet mom in heaven.

I finally stopped crying after hours, and my back started to hurt after sitting on the floor for so long. My eyes were red and puffy.

As I started to stand, the door opened to reveal Adam, who walked in quickly and grabbed me, dragging me out of the room.

This was it. I was being taken to be killed.

"Stand up straight. You don't want to keep the Alpha waiting, do you?" He asked and I took efforts to walk properly beside him, not wanting to prolong my death sentence.

Adam led me back to the Alpha's office and I felt the deadly aura once more as he pushed the door open.

Mr Zed was standing just in front of his desk and Adam pushed me forward, stepping back from his wrath. I whimpered as his frown turned into a smirk, a mischievous amusement glinted in those cold eyes of his.

I almost took a step back in fear but I was too frozen, too scared to move, my eyes snapped to my feet in submission.

I could smell his cologne because of how close they were to each other, and I felt nervous.

My blood ran cold when I felt his fingers in my face, pushing my head up, so my eyes found his.

He smirked, as I vibrated underneath him.

"Little wolf, for your mistakes. You are gonna work as my slave from now onwards, agreed?" He said, and I gasped slightly.

His slave?

Confusion filled my face. What do slaves do? I wanted to ask, but he might have known and smirked crossed his face and I quickly nodded.

Amusement filled his eyes as he took a step away from me, his touch left my face and I almost sigh in relief.

"Go home and pack your belongings for you are no longer a free born but my slave now." He finished, walking to the window and ignoring me once more.

I couldn't refuse him. He was my Alpha. My king and my superior. His words were absolute.
