SHADOWS WITHIN

AVA is a dangerous killer with a troubled past. She grew up in the Assassins' gang, where she learned everything she knows about seduction and murder. AVA is very good at what she does, and her knife has never missed its mark. AVA is not perfect, though. She can't get rid of her past, so she always looks over her shoulder because she's afraid of getting caught. When Alpha Storm, the head of the most conservative pack, gives AVA the job of killing him, she knows it will be her most dangerous mission yet. Storm is a strong Alpha who is not easy to trick. But AVA is set on finishing her task, no matter what it takes. She will use her looks, her wits, and her ability to kill to attract Storm and get close enough to him to kill him. But as AVA gets to know Storm, she starts to wonder why she is doing what she is doing. He's not the monster she thought he was, and she starts to wonder if she can really kill him. AVA will have to choose whether to follow her heart or her orders in the end. Will AVA's evil lead her to kill Storm? Or will she be able to make things right and save him from her own darkness?

CHAPTER 21

I had no doubts about who this may be based on the authoritative manner in which my room was shut.

Notorious Mak.

I stood up and placed the bowl of strawberries and cream on my lap as soon as he turned around. The presence of the man who appeared in every assassin's nightmare in my room left me unsure of how to respond. We had only ever heard stories up until this point; nobody had ever truly seen his face. He stood in the midst of my bedroom, with no one knowing what he even looked like.

I swore my spine was going to give out when he stared at me. His navy blue eyes appeared cold, calculating, and maybe a little vicious. They gave me a chill that covered every inch of my body, and I slowly fell back into bed.

Then he threw my crimson thong right in front of my face.
