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

      He knows that irritates me, and I give him a stern side-eye as a reminder.


      His lips quirk and I realize hes trying to take my mind off the bubble of death. Like thats gonna happen.


      Ready to launch? asks a very chipper Nokita after he flips several switches on the control panel in front of him. When working on planes, hes a pilot. When on a sub, hes the skipper or whatever you call them. His vernacular is that of a man who lives and breathes engines. Hes multi-functional when it comes to anything mechanical. King once told me that Nokita started fixing tractor engines when he was young because he hated working the farm fields with his father. By the age of twelve, Nokita had a thriving farm mechanical business going.  


      Have you ever manned one of these things? I ask and immediately wish I hadnt.


      Nokita turns in his seat and reads the fear in my eyes. Never, he says in glee without hiding it.
