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

      King is still angry. I dont know how to open the door to let this go. I dont like things this way, and it makes me insecure. It bothers him that I dont obey his orders, and I promise myself I will do my best. I dont want someone to die because of me. I also dont know what Ill do if someone needs saving and its dangerous for the little Shadow Warrior.


      I groan silently. I dont like this at all.


      We run at a much quicker pace than we took when we came here. It will still take three days to get to the outpost because we dont have an airplane picking us up. We sleep two hours the first night, and we start off again. The last thing I would do is complain. We speak little. I cant stop thinking about Ruth and Missy, and I know Beck is as worried as I am.


      Three days is a lifetime when those you love are in danger.


      We enter the northern outpost at midnight. Its eerily quiet, and apprehension grips me. Its too quiet.
