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 56

The dark eyes of Storm peered at me before enlarging. He quickly closed the door behind us after lifting me into his arms.

It was dark in his room. I curled my neck against Storm's chest since he was warm because there wasn't much light in the room other than the small candle by the bed. He was really friendly. It gave me such great comfort. I wanted some heat.

Storm brushed my cheek and then my lips. I merely cuddled up to him because I needed the warmth.

He scolded, "What happened to you, Aoife? You are ice cold!" and put me on his bed. Storm covered me completely with blankets before standing up. I clung to his hand and begged him not to go.

I cried out, feeling much colder now that his body heat had left. "Please don't leave me," I pleaded. Storm regarded me from below with much anxiety.

He caressed my palm and said, "You need a healer. I think you have hypothermia." I allowed the warm sensation to wash over me.
