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 tear into the building where we left Marinah and race up the stairs. I smell blood the last two flights. Shes leaning over Garret when I get to the roof.


      Hes been stabbed twice in the chest, and hes barely breathing, she says before I get to her.


      I literally lift her and move her away from the injured man even though Beast isnt causing trouble right now. Even if for only a second, I needed to feel her in my arms.


      King, she snaps and struggles away. Hes injured, and we need Axel.


      Hes a minute behind me; theyre coming up the stairs now. I bend down and loosen the strap holding the bloody material covering Garrets wounds. Theyre deep. Marinah hands me a shirt from her bag, and I stuff it beneath the strap when I tighten it again. Garrets face is going blue.
