The Alpha's Creed

36.Bride MIA💫

"Today is the day."

Luna-Mia said to Octavia as she looked at her dressed in a Vera Wong wedding dress, that had embroidery flowers, held together by a nude type of material.

"I know, we are going to have the same last name."

Octavia said happily as Luna-Mia continued to fuss about her dress, making sure it was perfect q

"That would make us sisters. I've always wanted to have a sister."

Luna-Mia said as Gamma Rehan knocked and entered the room.

"You look gorgeous Luna, you're breathtaking as well Luna."

a-Mia. I just wanted you to know that you running late. It was already 6 pm, we should have started the wedding at 5 pm."

Gamma Rehan said to her, but his eyes were glued to Luna-Mia, not that she noticed. But like Luna, Octavia felt it was her job to notice these things.

Luna-Mia was dressed in a turquoise dress in keeping with the theme of the wedding. Octavia had insisted on the theme, saying that it reminded her of Atlas' eyes. A bit corny and cliche, but it worked out well.

"A bride is never late for her wedding, everyone else is simply early."

Oct is said ss Luna-Mia lowered her veil over her face.

"Luna-Mia, well as you know I have no parents and I was wondering well if you would walk with me down the aisle, and give me away to your brother?"

Octavia asked as the tears started to fall from her face.

"Luna-Mia, don't cry. You'll ruin your mascara."

Octavia said as Luna-Mia shook her head.

"It's waterproof makeup, I came prepared."

Lina-Mia said as Octavia could hear the music playing. They had decided to do a backyard wedding, so the entire backyard was transformed not a venue for the wedding.

Rows of mahogany benches lined the area, perfectly arranged in two rows with enough space to seat their guest comfortably.

White lilies hung from the tent and the canopy that served to provide shade for both the guests and the wedding couple. Octavia held out her hand, as she and Luna-Mia walked toward the backyard.

"No shoes?"

Luna-Mia asked as Octavia lifted her dress to reveal her assassin boots.

"I guess once an assassin, always an assassin."

Luna-Mia whispered as they marched down the aisle to the son. Here comes the bride, as Octavia could see Atlas waiting for her. He was the epitome of sex on legs, as he was dressed in a tuxedo with his hair pulled back. He was gorgeous as he waited for her to reach him, and he pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

"I guess we're a bit anxious."

The officiator said as all present laughed as Atlas pulled away from her.

"Just skip to the part where I say I do."

Atlas growled as Octavia smiled. She was just as anxious about what would come next.

"Do you Alpha Atlas Ryder take Octavia Harper Lee to be your lawfully wedded wife, in..."

But before the officiator could finish, Atlas blurted out.

"Yes..."

As the officer turned to Octavia ready to ask the same set of questions.

"Don't bother wasting your breath, I love you Atlas, my answer is yes."

Then the officer turned and captured their hands together.

"I now pronounce you man and wife, you may now kiss the bride."

And Atlas attacked her lips, crushing them beneath his own, owning, claiming, leaving no question as to who she belonged to.

"What the Moon Goddess had put together,"

The officer started as the congregation replied.

"Let no wolf put apart."

And at that moment, purple vapor floated in the air. Suddenly, Octavia could feel herself feeling dizzy. And she could see that it was having the same effects on Alpha Atlas and the others.

"Wolfsbane."

Atlas whispered as he fell and passed out. Octavia felt for a chair nearby and sank into it.

"Hello Huntress, did you miss me?"

Kolten asked as he walked towards her. Fear engulfed her entire body.

"Kolten we had a deal."

Octavia said weakly as he walked up to her and lifted her into his arms.

"Deals were meant to be broken."

Kolten said as he turned to walk away. Atlas caught onto his pants gripping it as tightly as he could.

"Don't do this...I will kill you for this."

Kolten's boots slammed into his face as he spits blood and a few of his teeth.

"You can try. But remember who holds the handle, and who holds the blade."

He said as he walked away with Octavia in his arms.

*****

"This lunatic is out of his motherfucking mind if he thinks he can steal my wife at my motherfucking wedding. I'm going to gut him like a turkey at Christmas dinner."

Atlas yelled in his office as Beta Riggs and Gamma Rehan paced around his office trying to formulate a plan to get Octavia back. The where was pretty easy to figure out, it was the how that he needed to figure out. They needed to get Octavia out of the compound, at the least, with no fucking damage to her, or the precious cargo she was carrying.

"Fuck!!"

Atlas yelled as he felt as if he was going to go insane. He couldn't wait until she was safely in his arms. She was his wife, and he was her husband and it was his duty to protect her, even if it cost him his life.

*****

"I just have one question, why?"

Kolten asked the moment he had Octavia tied to a chair in the same interrogation cell she was kept in when she had first met Atlas. It brought back memories, most of them being melancholy. Octavia tried to think of a way to answer his question, and in the end, Octavia decided that only the truth would suffice.

"Because I learned the truth. They are not the monsters that you make them out to be. They don't come out at night just to rip people apart. They are just as human as you and me; they live, they love, they laugh, they cry...they bleed, in very much the same way that you and I do. Why would one treat a German Shepherd, any different from a Terrier? Aren't they all just dogs? What differentiates a werewolf from a human?"

Octavia asked as Kolten looked at her as if she had grown two heads and had stabbed him in the gut.

"Because of people like your Grandma Mabel."

Kolten said hitting her where he knew it hurt the most.

"He wasn't the one who killed her, and you know it. What you failed to teach in all those classes, was that there are two types of werewolves. There were the ones who lived in packs and nurtured and protected each other, and then you have rogues, (those wolves who have lost their sense of humanity). A rogue was what killed Grandma Mabel, not a werewolf."

Octavia clarified as she sat in the cell rubbing her stomach. At first, she was certain, but now she was 100% sure. She and Atlas had created life.

"I just hope you know what you are doing. If I know Atlas, he's already figured out your plan and is on his way here. There will be hell to pay when he does. And Kolten, may the Lord have mercy upon your soul when he gets her."

Octavia said as Kolten walked up to her and hit her across her face, knocking her unconscious.

"Just you wait and see, bitch."

Kolten said as he left to prepare for the inevitable.
