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 54

Hours had passed while I waited on my bed for the voice that I knew would eventually speak.

When I heard Storm's voice, I went downstairs. Storm finally realized Tinley was gone much faster than I had anticipated.

The following several seconds would be very important.

There was more than just me when I entered Storm's living room. Basically, the entire house was affected. Erica and I were seated together. In the improvised circle that had formed adjacent to Indigo and Fleur, Noelani was curled up beside me. The color of Indigo's hair was terrible, and her eyes appeared to be blood red. Ronan made it clear that he didn't want to be there by standing at the extreme edge of the circle, far from everyone else. While their godmother and Indigo's godfather were huddled together in a corner, Willow was seated next to the maids.

At the center of it all was Storm. Storm was incensed. Storm was incensed. It absolutely terrified me.
