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 39

Everything seemed to come to an abrupt halt as Storm appeared to have forgotten his motivation for telling me his story in the first place due to his apparent loss of self in his grief. His future wife What was she like, and how did she enter the scene? I had to understand. I absolutely had to know.

Storm put his hand against my shawl, which was draped between us on his bed like some sort of barrier, and withdrew it from my face. A wall between the merciless Assassin and the less-than-pious Alpha, or whoever the hell I was at this very moment—in fact, ever since my lips momentarily touched Storm's for what felt like hours earlier, I hadn't felt like myself.

Let me say that again: I hadn't felt like Ava, or whoever it was supposed to feel like to be Ava. I despised the way my emotions were out of control and all over the place. I detested not having control. I detested every aspect of it. If only I could see the assassins right now.
