The Shifter King

Hera is a hired assassin sent to kill the king, but what she doesn’t know is this job will change her entire world. When she arrives at the annual ball and meets King Ambrose, she discovers not only that shifters exist but that the entire court is part of the pack. Ambrose reveals she’s his mate and asks her to stay to find who is behind the plot against him. With no other choice, Hera is thrown into dangerous court politics, flirtatious seductions with both the king and prince and a mystery that continues to evade her. *** Ambrose takes the second knife and, somehow, without touching my chest, slides it beneath my corset from the top. His lips are inches from mine, his breath warm against my own. I’m still frozen, unable to think or react. I swear I see the light catch his eyes, making them glow. But in the next moment, it’s gone. *** The Shifter King is written by Amara Nelson, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 33: Doubt

I had no reason to trust Theo’s word. In fact, I had no idea what he was trying to tell me. Why wouldn’t he give me the facts if he knew the truth? Because he thought I wouldn’t believe him?

I guess it was a legitimate concern. I had been the one to accuse him in the first place.

I’m on my way back from the dungeon when I spot Sebastian. He catches my gaze, his expression blank. He glances down the hall before gesturing with his head to join him in his room.

I hesitate. Not a great idea, especially given my lack of self-control around both the king and prince. Despite my pleasure from the night before, seeing the prince makes my body ready to go all over again. My feet carry me toward him without thinking.

Sebastian tugs me into his room, shutting the door behind him. I’ve never been in his bedroom before. It’s what I would’ve predicted for him–dark and moody decor.

He pins me against the door, leaning closer but I shove him off.
