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 40: Empty

Whew!

Thank G*d. I was running out of ideas to distract him.

I stand quickly, eager to get to work.

I scan the room, thinking about where to start. Sebastian has several drawers, cabinets and compartments. It could be anywhere, but I catch sight of the desk.

It’s the most logical place to start.

I move straight for his desk.

When I searched earlier, I didn’t have time to look in every drawer or under things. I’m not worried about being quiet this time. I just need to be fast and efficient. I don’t doubt that his shifter immune system will kick in and he’ll wake up from the sedative a lot quicker than a human would.

I throw open the drawers, digging through the papers and items. I need to find that f*cking wax seal.

I toss the parchments aside after scanning each of them. Most of them are political letters, others are small maps of the kingdom. One is a list of names, nobles that live in the palace.

None of which proves anything.
