Due to my deceased father, the government decided I may have an inside to the fighting force we need to save humanity. They call him King of the Shadow Warriors. Shadow Warriors are elite fighters, who, after shifting form, have sharp claws and teeth capable of eviscerating a human without blinking an eye. If that isn’t a reason to run the other direction, I don’t know what is. The problem? We need the Shadow Warriors or we die. To gain their trust, I must impress King.

My government sent me in a short dress and heels to do the job. They seem to think a sexy body will increase their chances of gaining his help. I took the assignment freely even though my feelings on the outcome offer no comfort.

That brings me to the biggest problem in the entire scenario: King will eat me!

Shifter King

      This cant be happening. I wont let it.


      I bust through the doors of medical and rest Marinah on one of the beds. I dont see Axel, so I administer the antidote myself jabbing the needle into her arm. Come on, Marinah, fight!


      It wont help, King, Axel says from over my shoulder. One look in his eyes and I want to take off his head. He doesnt know what hes saying.


      It must, I shout in frustration. I take Marinahs hand and bring it to my cheek. Shes my mate, I implore my friend. She cant die. You need to cut the poison out.


      No! Screw you. Do something to save her. You can.


      I cant. He shakes his head then turns and leaves the room.


      I bury my face in her stomach and hold on. If I can hold her long enough, she can beat this. Her body shudders and her eyes open. She shouldnt be, but shes still conscious. Hold on Marinah, I tell her.
