"What have you don–" Kael started to say but stopped halfway as Hazel plunged the dagger deeper into his heart.
Kael began to wrestle. His black eyes started to change color as his wolf fought to take control of him.
He tossed and turned, kicked and struggled, trying to get Hazel off of him but she held her ground.
With the aid of her free hand, she pushed the dagger deeper and deeper into his chest till it was only the butt of the dagger that was visible.
"Who are you–" Kael choked as blood trickled out of his mouth and nose.
He had finally stopped struggling. He knew he had lost the battle.
Still laying over Kael, Hazel looked into his eyes and answered, "I am vengeance."
She got up from him and came down. Kael still had a substantial amount of life present in him. Such a powerful man would be too hard to kill.
As she gazed over him, her eyes fell on his cock. It was– to her greatest surprise, still hard and erect.
She could not believe that the bloody bastard dared to still have an erection even as his life seeped out of him.
A wave of anger and nausea hit her and she reached for the dagger lodged in his chest and pulled it out.
She could hear the sizzling of the flesh as the angel's breath and wolf's bane finished their task of ensuring Kael never saw the light of day ever again by burning his heart out as she drew the blade out.
She made sure she looked into his eyes as she drew the blade and let out a small laugh as she saw him wince from the pain.
Slowly and steadily, with the dagger in her hand, she moved to his legs.
She took Kael's towering cock in her hands and with eyes focused on Kael's, she started to saw, at it very slowly.
Kael who still had some life in him screamed from the pain but the sound came out more as a muffle than a scream as he was drained of all his energy.
When she was finally done, she walked over to where his head lay, dangling his cock in front of him like she was offering a treat to a dog.
"You ask who I was. I am Hazel," she said.
She could see the look of confusion in his eyes as he digested what she said.
She contemplated explaining everything to him so he would understand but decided she would leave him with some mystery he could think about in hell whenever he had free time from his eternal burning.
Her moment was cut short as she heard shuffles from the hall outside the door.
She realized she may not have time and so she had to leave.
Kael's last life was finally leaving him and that was when she opened up its bloodied mouth and stuffed his cock down her throat.
Now he knew what it felt to have a cock shoved down his throat. All those innocent girls he had raped so severally, could finally be at peace.
After a few seconds, Kael's head fell limply to the side as he departed the land of the living and started his onward journey to go face Raglan.
At the same moment, Hazel noticed something around her neck.
She dropped her head down just in time to see blood trickle into the crystal necklace on her neck.
She had done it.
She took in a deep breath and released it, repeating it severally as she basked in her victory.
Then she rubbed the dagger over Kael's shirt, wiping it clean of his blood before returning it to his former position, strapped to her thigh.
She walked over to the mirror and then fixed herself before heading out the door.
She opened the door slowly to check if the coast was clear.
Finding the place devoid of anyone, she prepared to leave but before that, she turned back to take one final look at Kael's dead body. That image would be her souvenir.
She walked down the hall, with a feeling of trepidation welling up in her.
She tried her best to balance her steps so she would not look suspicious but every few seconds, she caught herself in a semi-half run.
"Where are you coming from?" She heard a voice bellow from a dark corner at her left-hand side.
She stopped short in her tracks as she let out a gasp of fear.
The person who had spoken walked out of the shadows and came into the light.
If was the same guard that had welcomed her into the palace.
"Where are you coming from?" He bellowed again and this time she was almost flying out of her skin in fear as the proximity of the guard to her made his voice sound like a rumbling thunder on a storm.
Hazel tightened her hands into fists and dug her nails into the soft flesh of her hands, drawing blood. She did this to take hold of herself and answer the guard so as not to suspect her.
"I'm going to get a drink for the Alpha and me," Hazel said in a pretend calm voice while her insides strained to keep their composure.
The guard seemed to believe her act as he said, "Do not worry, I will go get the drink and being it back myself."
"No no—" Hazel countered immediately but the guard interrupted her.
"It is my job I will go get it, just go back," The guard insisted.
"I would prefer to go myself since I have already gotten this far. Moreover, you will not know what type of drink I am going to get so you will not be of help to me," Hazel argued.
The guard was not planning on backing out and so Hazel thought of something so fast.
"Will you rather go and argue this out with the Alpha? What do you think he will do to you for disrespecting his authority?" Hazel asked.
She had pulled out her biggest weapon –threatening to report to Kael and she kept her fingers crossed that the shot she had fired, would actually hit the target.
Luckily for her, her plan worked and the guard let her walk past.
She knew the guard was watching her, she could feel his eyes on her and so she made an effort to walk normally even though the adrenaline in her body was pushing her to pick up speed and run.
When she finally got to the party, she let out a big sigh of relief and then immediately tried to make her escape.
She knew that if she stayed for long, there could be a possibility that the guard would suspect something was wrong when he did not see her return with the supposed drink and not see the Alpha. e
He would go to check on him and find him dead so she had to exit the palace as soon as possible but it turned out the universe had other plans for her.
At the party, she was flanked by many men trying to get her to give them a private dance while the other courtesans at the party eyed her with disdain.
She had to fight her way through the crowd to leave.
Each man approached her with a different proposal.
"Just lay next to me so I could watch you sleep that's all," A short tiny man who Hazel thought was too small to be a werewolf suggested to her at the party and she said yes.
Agreeing with the men had proved efficient in getting them out of her way rather than refusing them.
After some heated seconds of struggle, Hazel was able to reach the door and finally go out.
When she felt the night breeze on her face finally, she let out a sigh of relief and then without hesitation, she took to her heels and sprinted out of the palace yard, into the forest.
The guard had waited for the return of the beautiful woman for over two hours and had considered going to the party to search for her.
However, his intuition told him to go check on the Alpha whom he had not seen nor heard in a while.
"Your Grace," The guard called out from outside the door.
"Your Grace, is everything alright?" He called out again but still, he got no response.
He started to leave but hesitated and decided to just walk into the room.
This would not be the first time he would be walking in on the Alpha uninvited.
He had in the past, several times, walked into the room when the Alpha was having one of his regular orgies.
He prepared his mind for whatsoever it was he was about to walk into which could range from the Alpha being subdued by multiple naked women or him subduing multiple naked women.
This time, however, he was not prepared for what he saw.
But by the time the guard had announced a search to be made for Hazel, she was already miles away.No one seemed to know who she was or where she came from. All they knew and would ever know was that she was a beautiful woman who had appeared and then disappeared leaving death in her wake.Hazel had traveled throughout the night only resting in the early hours of the morning when she was sure she was far away enough.As she slept, a visitor came to her in her dreams."You did well," Raglan said to her with a smile on his face.He had had his doubts about her and her capability to carry out this mission but her act earlier on made him have a little more faith in her."How are you here?" Hazel asked, confused, totally ignoring Raglan's compliment. She wondered why she was able to see Raglan so real in her dream. It felt like if she reached out to touch him, he would feel concrete."I am in your dreams." He pointed out with a roll of his eyes.He noticed the look of confusion on Hazel's
Hazel was still shaken by the dream she had had. She was still very much tired but she willed her body to move.She was onward to the residence of the next Alpha–Gordon.She did not know who he was nor where he resided but Raglan had helped out.When she woke up, she noticed a note written in beautiful handwriting next to her.It had the name of the next Alpha on the list and also directions to get to his palace, which was drawn in a crudely drawn map."The bloody bastard," Hazel had cussed when she saw the note.Not only had he tormented her sleep, but he had not left her any food, not water as she had requested of him.She was famished and so thirsty and was on the verge of fainting under the blazing sun when she found a small pond.She filled her belly up with water before pouring some on her body to help cool her down.For food, she picked wild berries from the forest.She was lucky her dad had trained them on the vegetation of the wild so she had knowledge of what she could or co
Try as she may, Hazel could not push out of her mind the story she heard earlier.Asher was getting married to Maeve?It could not be. She was the one he loved and not Maeve!No longer was her mind occupied with the thought of how she was going to carry out the task before her but with the thought of Maeve and Asher getting married.She had to go back home, she thought. She had to go and save Asher from the danger he was landing himself in by being with Maeve.Her mind kept telling her to turn back to where she came from and head back to her home but she knew that the only way she could do that was if she kept moving forward and completing her task and she did just that.Surprisingly to her, getting into the palace was much easier than she had anticipated.The guards at the gate let her in without asking question
Hazel was happy that the celebration was still going to be held tomorrow. It afforded her time to do what she had gone there to do. Her ears were still pinned to the door when she heard footsteps approaching from within the room.Caught unawares and not knowing where to run to or hide without being caught, she instinctively jumped to the back of the door.It was a careless hiding spot that would guarantee her getting caught but it was all she could come up with. She could not risk running away because the hallway was too long and the next exit was at the end so she would definitely have been caught and her only other option was a window which was a couple of meters high up. The approaching footsteps reached the door and opened it.Since the door was flung open, Hazel was out of sight as she was on the other side of the opened door.It was at that moment that it occurred to Hazel that the door could be closed shut and she would be caught.She had not had enough time to even think of
One thing Hazel knew was that she needed allies. There was no way she was going to take out her plan alone.And there was only one way she knew she could gain allies –money.This complicated her situation the more. It was more like this mission was out to challenge her rather than her just killing these Alphas. Every time she crossed over a stumbling block, another came rolling her way.With her head slumped backward and her eyes closed, she thought of ways she could get money.She placed the back of her hand against her head. Despite the cool breeze blowing, her temperature was high. Her head was probably overheating due the amount of thoughts that went through her mind per second.She had nothing she could sell.She could not even beg for money. That would draw too much attention to her and it would be easier to remember the redhead beauty who had begged for money.Damn it!She had only one option –to steal, but as easy as it seemed, it was not.She had never been one to steal any
It was a very awkward moment for both of them as Hazel stood with a smile plastered on her face which kept on getting weirder with every passing second as she contemplated her answer."Sure, why not," Hazel finally answered.The sound of her voice saying that snapped her out of her head. She had still been in a meeting with her mind, contemplating when her mouth had, on its own, carried out the task.A smile broke out on Sam's face and a look of relief washed over him.He actually was.He had been hoping she would not reject his offer.He had been hooked on her ever since their meeting on the road.He had wanted to tell Jeff, his chauffeur, to stop the car and give her a lift, but he was accompanied by his father.Their meeting had not been a coincidence. He had kept his eyes open and had hung at the bar closest to the town's entrance to spot her on arrival.The moment he had seen that beautiful mane of red hair walk past, he had immediately sprung to action and went after her.He di
Sam and Hazel made small talk as they ate and for a little moment, Hazel totally forgot about all her problems.She laughed heartily at Sam's jokes and listened intently to all he said, hanging on to every word as if it was her life.One time, when she listened to him talk, she took her time to assess him.He had a well-chiseled face, with a strong jaw. His features were mostly hard –lips that looked rough, a pointed nose that had a little flare at the nostrils, and eyebrows that did not have an arch to them but were straight thereby giving his face an unreadable expression.In all of this hardness, his soft baby blue eyes stood out, balancing the hardness with its softness.She could not look into his eyes. Every time she tried, she felt like she was drowning in a never-ending sea of blue.It was then it dawned on her what attracted her to him. It was not actually his beauty but it was because his eyes reminded her of someone else.It reminded her of Asher.The first time she had set
Tears threatened to fall from Hazel's eyes as she was hit by nostalgia as the performance went on.She struggled to hold herself together as the sweet music to the moon goddess was sung heartily by wolves who were in reverence to their keeper reminding her that at this moment, she was not one of them anymore.When the song was over, and the performers exited the stage, Hazel turned her eyes back to Sam and she caught him staring at her."You look sad," he commented.He had been staring at her all through the song and he had seen what looked like longing all over her face.Hazel gave a small smile which made her face, even sadder rather than happier, "No, I'm not. It is just the song, it is so beautiful," she said."Yeah... it is," Sam agreed but he still did not believe that was it.A noise on the stage took their attention away from and towards it as they both turned to see what it was.It was an acrobat who had come on stage performing some stunts."That is the cue that the main sho
