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 67

As I dressed for the wedding of Storm and Noelani, I fixed my gaze on myself in the mirror. Simply put, I didn't want to go to this wedding.

We had all completed the required shift, and the moon was full. I had assumed that Storm and Noelani would wed before the full moon and that he would then mark her because an Alpha must perform a ceremony before marking someone. However, this bundle operates differently than usual.

When an Alpha marks someone, or when someone marks an Alpha without adhering to a certain full moon ceremony, it carries a curse. Every subsequent full moon causes both parties to experience agonizing suffering. However, it seems that in this pack, the Alpha and Luna must endure suffering for three full moons before being able to finish the Alpha curse.

The suffering is intended to fortify them. It just seems superfluous to me.
