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 51

We were watching the party, if you could call it that, as it was going on on the lawn. While Storm was at the entrance to the garden holding Enys in his arms and 'talking,' I guess with Erica because since they were presumably linking, their lips weren't moving, Tinley stood with Noelani and Fleur, and they both chuckled over something. The birthday girl, Indigo, was dressed in a gold princess gown.

Did you wear a corset?

I overlooked the fact that more conventional packs wore corsets for cultural reasons rather than for sex. Indigo donned a golden outfit with exquisite blue floral embroidery on it. She wore a loose corset that just barely gripped her upper torso to be presentable. Her outfit had enormous, elegantly long sleeves. Her traditional corset dress' waterfall-like skirt halted at her wrist as they came to a stop. She even had golden glitter staining her skin and neck, and her updo was elaborately intertwined with golden strings.
