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 29

Despite my apprehensions about who that Alpha may be, I walked with Storm to the foyer because he insisted. If it was Kayla, I was in trouble. I was doomed if Max was responsible. In any event, my chances didn't look too good, so I kept the dagger's hilt steady and close at hand beneath my pinafore in case I needed to use it. I had a sneaking suspicion I might.

My senses heightened as a result of the anxiety-induced adrenaline rush through my veins, which increased my heart rate. I wished I could have escaped Storm, but I was unable to. He would be suspicious if I did. So, even though I knew I was taking a huge risk, I stuck close to the man who might have been in charge of my execution.

I finally felt at ease when the individual who was standing in Storm's foyer was completely unfamiliar to me. He did, however, resemble me in every way if I were a man. Well, at the moment, I am not me, in truth. Not my true self.
