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 55

I withdrew from Storm. His muscles were stiff, and his eyes were golden. My shawl was altered. Together with him, I was in the center of the circle.

I turned to head upstairs, but Jude was already rushing down the stairs. "I know nothing about Tinley, so do or believe what or who you must. I am going to bed," I said. The group's focus shifted to him. Paper was in his hand.

He gave it to Erica. After reading it, Erica froze and handed it to her brother. I noticed that Storm's skin next to mine began to heat up as he read the letter. His body was clenched together in rage, and his eyes were a scorching hue of gold. I hesitantly grabbed for the letter in Storm's possession.

It was the letter that Nessa was tasked with writing for me. 'Tinley' here declares that she and Adonis are escaping. If Storm loves her, he should let her be, because he came to claim her.
