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

      I stare at the apparition in the mirror. Its not a monster really, its me in my Warrior form. My eyes are the same, but nothing else is identifiable. My snout is the most unattractive thing Ive ever seen. I smile into the mirror and almost back away when my teeth gleam with saliva. Lifting my arms, I place my fingers over my breasts. Theyre no longer hanging, theyre part of chest bone, hard, almost like theyre metal-plated. The short hairs covering my face and chest could be slightly more revolting, I guess. I take a few steps back to examine the entire picture.


      Im Marinah the Warrior, and for the first time in my life, this body feels perfect.


      Okay, Ms. Beast, I say reluctantly. Its time for you to go back inside and stay there until youre needed again.


      Nothing. The ugly beast continues to stare back.
