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 take three thick black volumes of Shadow Warrior history back to my bedroom. The leather is old and supple, the smell that of antique books, which stirs warm fuzzies in my belly.


      King gave me a short tour of his home after we left the underground section and also showed me my room. He hasnt kissed me since we arrived and hes given me a separate room. Im trying not to feel disappointed, but its a lie. I want to be in Kings bed no matter how wrong it is. Technically hes still an enemy of the Federation. And technically, I dont care. He obviously needs time to decide if we should sleep together and I wouldnt appreciate being rushed, so theres no way Ill rush him. I also wont beg.


      I pick up one of the worn volumes and open it.


      In the beginning, there were two.


      In the beginning, one male, one female.


      In the beginning, no war, no famine.
