WIFE. MISTRESS. MURDERER. If you were being framed for murder, how far would you go to clear your name? I'm not guilty of murder. Bethany Reston is happily married. But she's also having an affair with a famous client. And no one can ever know. But that doesn't make me innocent. When Bethany's lover is brutally murdered, she has to hide her grief from everyone. But someone knows her secret. And then one day the threats begin. With an ever-growing pile of evidence pointing to her as the murderer, the only way she can protect her secrets is to prove her innocence. And that means tracking down a killer. An incredibly taut, tense game of cat and mouse - with a twist you'll never see coming.

Chapter 1 Prologue

A helicopter pilot.

If you'd asked me what I was going to be when I grew up, back when I was a round-faced teenager, that would have been my answer. No hesitation. I knew I was born to fly, right up until the first time I boarded a plane and my family holiday was cut short by an unexpectedly crippling panic attack. I've never managed to shake that terror, and I haven't boarded an aircraft since.

But that fear, the lung-crushing, paralysing dread I ex-perienced so long ago in my cramped window seat was nothing compared to this.

What I feel now is beyond panic.

Because ... someone knows.

My secrets are in their hands. Hands that were, just days ago, soaked in the blood of a man it should have been impossible to harm. Hands that could tear me apart just as effortlessly.

I suspect that they're enjoying this too much to kill me, though. For now, at least. They'll toy with me first, destroy everything I have.

Ruin me.

But before my dirty laundry is thrown out in a heap to be picked through and scrutinised, I feel like I should open the windows and let some fresh air diffuse a bit of truth into my situation.

I am not guilty.

But even I can admit that doesn't make me innocent.

My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done. Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection. I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you." The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play. The alpha, beta, and gamma are swimming with some of the older children and playing a game of Marco Polo. Someone yells, "Oh my goddess, someone just jumped over the waterfall!" Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, "Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see. She is covered in scars and injuries. Her body is twisted and broken. The Beta asks, "Who could have done this to someone so defenseless?" Alpha drops to his knees, repeating, "MATE...MATE...MATE!"
