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 72

I held my breath as I broke into Storm's personal space, which contained his piano. I may go back at any time. I could still decide otherwise, but I won't. I had already made up my mind, and I had to be true to it despite the repercussions.

I sat down on Storm's keyboard and had the impression that he was like a second skin covering me. Despite my hastily taken shower, I could still smell him on me. He was still on me and inside of me, and I still felt hurt and cunning. Although Storm didn't deserve it, I was in a bind.

I popped the piano lid open. The stone was constantly in my direct line of sight. Simply put, I was too absorbed to comprehend.

"The keys to my heart are in this piece."

I went back to the previous day, as Storm was instructing me. I played with my eyes closed, doing my best to execute the piece flawlessly. I'm doing my best to mimic what he said.

I couldn't do it.
