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 28

I did nothing but sit there and stare back at Storm as he continued to look at me.

His untamed hair and the sultry glow into which his gaze drifted affected me, and I was affected by each of them until he reclined and moved away from the piano by a noticeable amount. I asked him a question, but he didn't respond, and for some reason I simply couldn't bring myself to ask it again. I had a desire to escape both him and myself. I had my doubts.

Instead, I remarked, "I didn't know that you played so well," as I reached up to rub the side of my arm. Storm's eyes lost their brilliance, and he exhaled as he ran his hands through his hair and pulled it back. "You're excellent,"

When he pressed his palms together, Storm nodded. I didn't know what else to do but uncomfortably stare at him.

Storm rose up, arranged his clothes, and asked abruptly, "How did you find my private library?"
