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

      King has been in the meeting for an hour while Axel tries keeping me entertained. Our game of cards is not helping.


      Trump, Axel says with a grin he cant hide after laying down a three of spades.


      I throw my entire hand across the room and jump from my chair. I need to hit something. Someone. Anything.


      Shadow Warriors run to work off the rage and thats what you need to do.


      I turn to him feeling the temperature rising around me, the deep ache in my bones, and the burn of change in my blood. I need a few deep breaths before I can answer him. Ill do anything.


      Before Axel can put his suggestion into action, King enters the room.


      You agitated her? he accuses Axel.


      I won a trick while playing cards. She was kicking my ass.


      Im standing right here. I wave like a lunatic. If you keep talking like Im not in the room I may eat one of you. I add a growl to make my point.
