Chapter 9: I Am Vengeance

"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.
