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 38

As Storm dropped what he thought was a bomb on me, everything in my life abruptly came to a complete stop. I looked up into his eyes, and there was nothing less than that. I did not hesitate to take him into my arms. As I embraced him, the warmth of his flesh seeped deeply into me, causing him to stiffen. He had a great disposition.

Storm's considerable weight progressively pressed against me even though he wasn't holding me; instead, I did.

I hush-hush'd, "Calm down," in his ear. You weren't at fault.

Contrary to me, he almost gave way.

Okay, so Storm was to blame, but he wasn't the only one. He had to learn to accept the fact that he was the only person to have survived. He needed to release it. Even though it seemed like the hardest thing in the world, he had to learn how to go on. Years had passed, but he was clearly still very affected by what had happened. Never let go of him, even though it looked as though it would always follow him.
