ALPHA VENOM.
“Leave me alone. Get your dirty hands off me right now or you won’t like what I will do to you!” Orion was screaming in pure, unbridled fury as the guards did their best to restrain him. He must have been very hysterical because he knew what was coming for him after this. I knew he couldn’t believe what just happened, that the Pack had fallen. I approached the scene, feeling so happy and satisfied with how my guards were handling the situation.
They kicked him from all sides, calling him a disgusting pig.
He kept on making threats. “If you don’t stop that right now, I will-” “You will do what?” I asked, interrupting him immediately. He looked up in fear and bowed his face in shame as soon as he saw me.
“There’s no need for that. Are you shy?” I taunted, getting closer to him. “I can explain, Alpha Venom.” He cried as my guards began to laugh. He’d been full of himself some seconds ago and now he was on his knees begging to be heard.
“What do you want to say, Orion. Don’t tell me you are trying to beg me to release you.” I said, wondering what he wanted to and remembering he deserved a very painful death for the pains he had caused me and my pack.
“Just kill me, Alpha. Please!” He pleaded, but I shook my head.
“I can’t grant you that. You’ll die in a very horrifying way, maybe not the most horrifying. But I’ll do my best and give it a shot.” I turned to my guards and asked.
“Where did you find him?” They laughed as they replied. “He was hiding in the maid’s quarters. In a closet. His aura was quickly detected.” I nodded.
“Good job. Chain him up. I can’t wait to start.” I walked to the Pack’s armoury and took out a very sharp dagger that would be very instrumental right now. I had him stripped naked and after that, decapitated his fingers and toes one after the other.
He screamed through the whole thing, and that was what I wanted to see. After all twenty fingers and toes were out, I had my men tie him to a horse after which he was dragged around the Pack. He could have died but he was an Alpha, so it would take a lot of time, because he wasn’t stabbed to the heart or beheaded.
When the horse was stopped, he could barely stand but he was still very aware of what was going on around him. I took him to the execution field as soon as that had ended and handed him a sword. I wanted to spice things up a little bit before killing him.
“If you want me to spare your life, you have to fight me.” He stretched his hand to take it but lost his balance and fell. Then he screamed in pain as his stumps of fingers connected with the ground.
“Kill me! I don’t have any other life to live.” He begged. But I shook my head again.
“No, I can spare your life if you pick up the sword and fight.” I said and watched as he stood up in excruciating pain, one that was well deserved. After he got back on his feet, he stretched his hands to take the sword despite the pain. I slashed his hands and cut off his wrist, causing him to fall to the floor, telling yet again.
“What were you even thinking?” I taunted and watched him scream and scream until his voice had gone hoarse. Looking at him now, anybody would hardly recognise that he was the same man I’d caught this morning.
I went on with the other wrist, and then both legs, before cutting his tongue off. He was almost dead after I was done with him, so I guessed it wouldn’t be a good idea to finish him off. My men had him tied to a post in the centre of the field. Not longer after, vultures began to arrive to feast on him.
It was more satisfying than seeing Alpha Ryker die after I had plunged the sword into his chest. The next day, his body was burned and his ashes scattered into the river. I prayed to the goddess not to get anyone like him ever again whole thanking her for the protection I’d received this whole time. If not because Maya had told Tianna about it, nobody would have known and he might have been back to the Pack to finish the whole setup before Alpha Ryker attacked. But I had gotten there before him, and now was my time to relish the victory.
After that was finished, I knew I no longer had any enemies, except their Prince who was still in prison. I waited the whole week until Maya fully recovered. We began making plans about how we would rule the Pack. In the end, after her begging me not to kill the Prince because of how he had helped her, I decided to exile him and swear him to an oath that he would die if he dared step back into Hell’s Pit or the Black Moon Pack. Nobody messed with oaths, and he took some time before he swore to it.
When he was gone, Maya decided I handed the Pack to whoever I wanted because we both were meant to rule the Black Moon Pack.
But before that, we got information that the missing children had been found. They were taken care of immediately and prepared to be taken back to our Pack to meet their families. I decided to hand the Pack over to one of my generals, Edward, who had proved to be the most trustworthy person I’d ever worked with. He had been there for me through thick and thin and has proffered several battle techniques, including the one that won us the war.
I knew he would be able to rule, while still answering to me. Maya said it was a good idea and I had him installed as the Alpha the next day. The day after, we returned to the Black Moon Pack. Tianna was already healed and she was installed as one of the new Pack generals. It was a dream come true, but we went through a lot to get here.
I was happy that the people I’d lost during the course of this long fight weren’t in vain. I knew I had avenged their deaths and brought back balance and peace to the world. With our baby on its way, I knew there was no other story that was perfect like ours.
EPILOGUE.
Ed was doing a very good job at the Pack, rebuilding a lot of structures and improving the lives of the people. But it didn’t happen without some problems. The people had been rebellious at first, but he managed to control the situation and ask them to give him some time.
Well, he changed the Pack into a better place. The boundary was now protected with a very large and strong wall that surrounded the Pack, refusing the influx of strangers who could be dangerous. Everything was under control and there was no better news than that.
Eight months later, Maya gave birth to twins without any form of complications, just as the doctor had promised. This added the joy that they were reeling from. It was a moment of pure bliss and for the first time in a very long time, Venom found himself on the verge of tears.
Life was just perfect right now, it was just pure bliss. He didn’t know how to thank the goddess enough for the protection and the way they had been able to crush their enemies and rescue Maya, together with others that had been taken during the course of the heated times between them and Hell’s Pit which was now called “Crimson Moon Pack.”
Alpha Venom hosted a week of non stop celebration after her delivery, which just mirrored his happiness.
Their babies were named Aiden and Athena. And they couldn’t wait to bring them up in the order that they were going to set for the future generations to come.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
