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

      Breathe, Marinah. King talks me through the sudden rush of Kedorine 5, or K-5 as King calls it, that tries to shove itself into my veins. K-5 is the miracle that brings on the shift for Shadow Warriors and its packed with other powerful hormones too. You cant catch it, its not a disease, its something youre born with, and Im the lucky woman to be the first female Warrior in hundreds of years. Inhale, exhale. Dont allow your beast to win. You say when shes in charge, not her.


      Sweat breaks out across my freshly washed skin. The red haze slowly recedes and Im able to tug Beast back where she belongs. Ive got it, I practically wheeze through clenched teeth as the room returns to focus and my breathing slows.
