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 36: Just Us

Ambrose spins me to face him. I know I’d do anything for him. I’d fight for him, protect him, kill for him. I wasn’t going anywhere, and he somehow knew it before I did.

When did this happen to me? He looks at me like he can see straight through to my soul. And I swear I can see the same in him. I can see his strength, his kindness, his beauty.

He’s the most incredible person I’ve ever met, and I can’t keep fighting our fates pulling us together until there’s nowhere else to go. I am in love with him.

And I think I have been for a long time.

Ambrose reaches up, placing his hand on the back of my neck as he looks at me. He doesn’t say anything.

Then he dips his head to meet mine, kissing me lightly. I kiss him back, breathing him in like I need him to survive. He deepens the contact, our tongues clashing.

For this moment, we aren’t a king and an assassin. We aren’t people who have a rebellion to face, or a kingdom to run. We aren’t even Alpha and his mate.
