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

      Its unfair and not getting my way turns me peevish. I was a very spoiled child throughout my formative years. It taught me to use tears and plain old stubbornness to get what I wanted. Usually it worked. Unfortunately, I dont feel my sad, moping eyes popping from my Shadow Warrior head do the trick this time.


      I do need rest, and I have guard duty tonight. King assigned the duty to me to avoid another tantrum. Smart man. Im almost asleep when I overhear Labyrinth whisper to Beck, What, no temper tantrum because she isnt getting her way and luring the Federation out?


      Becks reply is priceless. Shes right, and our mighty leader is wrong. She knows shell get her way.


      I smile against Kings chest. Dont get any ideas, he mumbles sleepily.
