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 69

I began to say, "I know that you're upset right now, but..." but stopped myself because I was afraid to say the truth. But what if I was the target of all his rage? That was really probable. The moon was still full, and the man wasn't entirely in control of his faculties at the moment. He was currently feral and acting out of instinct. I seated myself on his bed so that I was facing him.

I asked carefully, "Have you thought that maybe what you saw might be a misunderstanding, or maybe there was some mistake?"

Storm quickly shook his head. "No error occurred."

I tried to dance around the fact that I set her up by saying, "Storm, listen to me. Maybe Noelani was set up or something. I don't think that she's capable of doing such a thing to you on her wedding day." I was unable to force myself to acknowledge that one fact.
