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

      Marinah is in my arms, in my bed, and asleep with one leg thrown over mine and a pillow covering her head. The small fingers of her right hand lay possessively on my chest and its been like this for hours. When I move, she uses me like a pillow and realigns herself for maximum comfort.


      Its late, sometime around three in the morning.


      Marinah, I whisper. Her answering grumble makes me smile. I want to go hunting.


      Her lax body instantly goes rigid. For hellhounds? she asks huskily from beneath the pillow.


      I pull it away and her mass of hair is covering half her face. Pushing the strands back, I kiss her nose. For hellhounds.


      She flies out of bed and shifts seamlessly before I remind her she should put her pants on first to avoid ripping her legs up with her claws that shes still a little clumsy with.


      Damn claws, she growls and I laugh before getting out of bed and helping her dress.
