The Alpha's Creed

37.Epilogue...💫

Octavia slowly regained consciousness, as she was greeted with screams of terror, and shouts of fear. She could tell with every muscle in her body, that atlas was nearby, and she was proven right the moment a huge black wolf appeared flanked by a wolf to his left, and another to the right, (Gamma Rehan and Beta Riggs respectfully) Kolten grabbed Octavia and held a vial of wolfbane in a needle, and ready to plunge it into her neck.

"One step further and the bitch gets it."

Kolten threatened as he closed his eyes to blink, and Atlas had already covered the distance between them. Atlas' hand reached up and broke the hand that held the vial and looked at Octavia and spoke softly but firmly.

"Did. he. hurt. you.?"

He asked as he enunciated every word carefully and purposefully.

"I'm just a little bruised but I'm okay."

He looked her over assessing her body to see if there were any other wounds on her body. After finding none, he pushed Kolten to the floor and kissed her. He just had to reassure himself that she was okay, that she was alive...

"He injected me with wolfsbane."

Octavia said as Atlas' rage spiked to 100 degrees cold.

"Everything is fine, my little assassin. You'll be alright. Beta Riggs, take Octavia to Dr. Rhodes. Protect her with your life. I'm going to tidy up here, I'll see you soon Little Assassin."

Atlas said as he kissed her again. Beta Riggs lifted her in his arms and took her out of the room. As much as Atlas wanted to be there for her, he could right now. He needed to ensure that she was safe. And she will be, the moment he got rid of this waste of space he would be with her, for the rest of his life.

"I usually maul my enemies to death, but then your death will come too soon. I can't have that. By time I am done with you, you're going to wish I'd simply kill you."

Atlas said as Gamma Rehan tied him to a chair.

"I'm so glad that we are in a torture room, everything is already here. You can leave now Rehan."

Atlas said as Rehan left them alone. Atlas rolled out the tools on the table, pliers, hammers, drills, and saws just to name a few.

'Do your worst."

Kolten said as Atlas gave control to Atticus. of the two of them, Atticus was the sadist of them.

"Don't worry, I will."

Atticus said darkly as he took up the hammer and slammed it into both of his kneecaps. The scream that tore from him reverberated off the walls around them. He could scream all he wanted; this room was built specifically for people like him.

"You motherfucking pussy!"

Kolten screamed as Atlas laughed.

"Shh, shh now. I thought you said I could do my worse."

Atlas said as he pulled a clear in front of him and took out the pliers. He peeled off his fingernails one by one, as each scream of agony rolled into the other.

"That's enough foreplay, wouldn't you agree? Which of those hands did you hit her with?"

Atticus asked as Kolten spat at him.

"Now, now, just because you're an animal it doesn't mean that you have to behave like one."

Atticus said as he fired up the electrical saw. He cut off his left hand, as he screamed like a bitch on steroids, then they watched as it fell to the floor beneath them. Atticus could see that he was losing too much blood, so he couldn't have him dying too soon. Atticus used a blow torch and catalyzed his wound.

He screamed until he blacked out wishing he would just die. Atticus walked over to the sink and filled a bucket there with ice cold water, then threw it all over his body, as his body trembled in fear and shock.

"Will you just kill me already please?"

Kolten begged as Atticus leaned over him.

"And why would I do that? We're having so much fun..."

Atticus said as he carried over a defibrillator to his side.

"Now, do you know what I love about this machine? It's that at the right voltage, it can be used to save a life, but if you put it too high, then it can just as easily end a life. Now, let's play doctor. I wonder at what voltage your heart will finally give out, let's find out shall we?"

Atticus said darkly as he shocked him multiple times until he started to pant as if he was having a heart attack. He might have been. Atticus bent to his ear and whispered.

"They say that the worse kind of death is that of drowning. I can tell how weak your pathetic little heart is, after all, you are nearly on the verge of dying. I think now is a good time to go waterboarding."

Atlas said as he stepped on a lever that sent him lying flat on his back. He placed a towel over his face and had a jug of water beside him. Kolten chuckled darkly knowing that was probably his last few seconds on this earth.

"See you in hell."

Kolten said spitting up blood,

"You better pray I don't. I will kill you a million times over if I see you down there."

Atlas promised as he continued to pour the jug of water over his face, Kolten spluttered like a fish out of water, desperate to get air into his lungs. Atlas kept pouring water until he stilled. Atlas threw the jug aside and turned to Rehan.

''Burn the body but save his head. It will serve as a warning on the far edge of the territory. Any hunter who tried to enter our pack. I need to see my Little Assassin."

He said as Rehan cocked an eyebrow at him.

"Would you clean this up first, you look like the second coming of Carrie."

Rehan said as Atlas looked down at the bloodstain.

"That might be a good idea."

*****

The second time Octavia opened her eyes, she was in the arms of her husband and their room. Did everything she thought happen or was it a nightmare?

"He's dead. He will never lay a finger on you or our children again."

Atlas promised as Octavia's hand flew to her stomach.

"Children?"

She asked as Atlas nodded.

"Triplets. I had Dr. Rhodes do the ultrasound three times to be sure. Two boys and a girl."

Atlas confirmed as tears fell from Octavia's eyes. She was going to be a mother.

"But what if they're human?"

Octavia asked knowing now that genetics worked.

"Werewolf, human, unicorn, they are ours. And I will love and protect what is ours."

Atlas said as Octavia grabbed his shirt and pulled him towards her.

"Have I told you lately that I love you?"

Octavia asked as Atlas shrugged.

"You might have mentioned it, but I could always stand to hear it more often."

Octavia teased as Atlas whispered.

"I love you Octavia Ryder, my Little Assassin."

Atlas said as Octavia cleared her throat to get his attention.

"That should be a former assassin. I am a reformed woman. I am now an Alpha's Mate."
