"Azula!" Benjamin’s voice sliced through the air, his teeth clenched in fury. He tried to wrench the rod from his chest, but each movement sent searing waves of pain rippling through him, forcing him to cry out in agony.

"Oops, careful there," Azula taunted with mock sympathy. "Although I might have missed your heart by just a tiny little bit..." She gestured with her thumb and finger, indicating a small space. "It still doesn’t mean that I didn’t rupture other organs. In that position, you cannot heal, nor is there a healer around to help you recover. So if I were you, Benjamin, I would stay still else you bleed to death." Her sweet voice turned sinister. "Don’t worry, I’ll get back to you once I’m done with your intriguing mate here." She refocused her attention on Fayre, who iwas still stuck in the uncomfortable position.

"No, don’t you dare —!" Benjamin tried to move and ended up crying in pain instead.

Azula laughed at his condition while Fayre’s eyed were filled with tears, unamused with the demon’s twisted satisfaction in her mate’s suffering. Even Islinda at this point, began to feel for Benjamin and Fayre, even though they had initially been the bad guy, atleast Benjamin was. Azula was taking the revenge a bit too far. It would not hurt this much if Azula had simply ended them quickly and not prolong this heartache.

"Shhh," Azula soothed Fayre, catching her tear with her finger and bringing it to get lips and tasted it, contemplatively. "Tastes salty." She reviewed.

"The gods above!" Islinda gave up, throwing her hands in the air. There was simply no redemption for Azula. Even if the demon does get her revenge, Islinda could only pray that she returned to her realm, else the Fae realm was in trouble with an unhinged Succubus demon on the loose.

Fayre was as flabbergasted as Islinda at the gesture and she reigned herself to fate, saying, "Just get it over with it, already."

"What?" Azula seemed confused for a second, before her eyes lit up in excitement as she pointed out, "You mean you’re ready to be with me? You made the right decision, dear Fayre."

"W-what?" Fayre stuttered, going red in the face. "That is not happening! I mean just kill me already!"

"Tsk, Tsk," Azula clicked her tongue in disapproval. "That sounds too easy and merciful. Not to mention, Sorry, but you don’t command me. However, let’s make this interesting. Step this game up a little bit."

"What?"

"I’ll offer you two option."

Islinda watched the scene with apprehension. She has known Azula enough to know the truth was a sneaky, brilliant strategist and that couldn’t be good.

"What?"

Azula said, "I thought of many ways that I could make your mate suffer and it all comes to you. However, you treated me and I’m not exactly heartless, so I’m going to give you a chance. After all, your mate is the real culprit here, not you." She looked at Fayre with a gleam in her eyes," What do you think? "

Fayre spat out," Nothing good ever comes out from making a deal with a demon. "

"Exactly," Azula shamelessly agreed, her voice dripping with malice. "But you don’t exactly have a choice. So here it is. Option one is quite an easy one, all you have to do is to simply give me a kiss, reject Benjamin as your mate, and join my harem. Option two: reject option one and die alongside your mate." Her expression turned sinister, as if reliving the very moment. "And it’s going to be a painful death."

Almost immediately, the darkness vanished from Azula’s face as she chirped excitedly, "In one word, I intend to snatch you from your mate. So, what is it going to be, my lovely Fayre?" Azula asked, stroking her hair and taking some strands between her hands, letting them slip through her fingers. "Would you be on my winning side or his losing side?"

Almost immediately, Fayre lifted her head in Benjamin’s direction as if seeking his opinion and the Fae shook his head. "No don’t!" He warned her. "You should never trust demons." Benjamin told her and just when it seemed like Fayre was about to be swayed to his side, Azula chipped in.

"However, you can hold my kind to their words." She coerced Fayre, before saying to Benjamin, "Why do you need to badmouth my kind Benjamin when you Fae’s are a whole lot worse. Or perhaps you’re just a little bit jelly? Are you that scared of losing your mate? I thought you were too heartless to have one?"

"I’m —" Fayre was about to make her decision when Azula told her, "Don’t be in such a haste to make your decision when the one you’re about to sacrifice your life for doesn’t respect you enough."

Fayre frowned, "What are you talking about?"

"I didn’t fully tell you the contents of the dream, did I?" Azula said, her eyed glinting with malicious intentions.

"No, Azula." Benjamin stiffened on the spot, dread washing over him. He said to his mate in a panic, "Do not believe a word she says. Her intention is to cause problems between us. She knows much you mean to me and wants to ruin it. Don’t allow her get between us."

"I don’t understand, what I’d going on?" Fayre said, a sense of panic growing inside of her.

But Azula only grinned as she said, "I had sex with your mate." She looked in satisfaction at Benjamin as she revealed the juicy details. "We did it while you slept beside us."

Benjamin released an anguish roar, glaring at Azula with blazing intensity. Once he got out of this entrapment, he intended to bring down his wrath on the demon. Every pain she had caused him, he would return it two times.

The blood drained from Fayre’s face, her expression frozen with shock. When Azula had talked about recreating some dream, she had assumed it was a product of her twisted fantasy and didn’t think it serious. But hearing the details with shocking clarity, Fayre was devastated.

"It was only a dream!" Benjamin argued.

Azula laughed, "It was not just a dream, but a suggestion I planted in his subconsciousness and he ate it up. I am a Succubus demon who feeds on sexual energy, and I can very much tell you that your mate was happily to indulge in our very passionate moment knowing it was a dream where he wouldn’t be held accountable for cheating. It wasn’t in real life after all. " Azula added," Or perhaps, I should just show you anyway. "

"No —" Benjamin protested but it was too late.

Azula cupped Fayre’s cheek, and Fayre’s vision blurred. Suddenly, she found herself inside a dream, just like Islinda, who watched as if from a distance. In the dream, Fayre witnessed the Succubus demon riding her mate, his eyes closed in ecstasy while she slept beside them.

Disbelief washed over Fayre, her hand flying to her mouth while the other clutched her heart, feeling the sharp pain of her mate’s betrayal.

"No, Fayre!" Benjamin’s pleading echoed through the vision, pulling Azula back to reality.

As Benjamin tried to rise, the rod kept him down, eliciting screams of pain. "Please don’t believe her, Fayre," he pleaded, desperation evident in his voice. "She seduced me. You cannot exactly win against a Succubus demon."

But Fayre was done listening to his excuses. Her gaze was cold and devoid of the affection she once held for him. Azula watched the scene, pleased with how eveything turned out. Although this was not how she envisioned this would go.

She had initially thought of torturing Fayre while Benjamin watched, but this one seemed much better. Although she would still get to the torturing part later.

Azula intervened, saying to Fayre, "Now that you have uncovered your deceitful mate, what do you say —"

Azula was never one to be taken by surpise, but she was sure thrown off balance as Fayre grabbed her face without warning and slanted her lips over hers. Azula moaned instantly, her body igniting with desire. She had no sexual preference. Men and women. As long as they fed her what she wanted. Food. Energy. Power.

Fayre was so soft and sweet, just as Azula anticipated. The dark Fae expertly deepened the kiss and Azula had to admit this was one of the best kisses she had had in a while. No wonder, Benjamin was head over heels in love with Fayre. This one was a keeper.

Perhaps, she shouldn’t kill the female and keep her as her pet. It wouldn’t hurt to have a companion by her side for as long as it took her to restore her tail and return to her realm to reclaim her throne which must be occupied by another by now.

Azula had such pleasant thoughts in her mind when she suddenly felt a sharp pain with Fayre withdrawing from the kiss. She gasped, touching a hand to the area only for it to come up bloody.

Oh well, there goes her plan of keeping her as a pet.
