The ground below me blurred as I felt a surge of adrenaline flowing through my veins. The manic thump of my footsteps echoed through the forest as I heard tortured screams cutting through the tense atmosphere. I began to feel dizzy as disturbing images flashed into my mind. The blood. The look of horror in people's eyes. Children crying. I shook my head in attempt to dismiss the thoughts, but to no avail.
Follow the footsteps of Cate Berkeley as she tries to build a second life in her new-found home and discover secrets of the past that will haunt her future.

"Alison," one of them says, walking closer to me. "Yes, Alpha?" I ask as I shuffle back slightly, keeping my head down. He takes a few more quick steps towards me, backing me into the cupboards. I flinch when his hand reaches out to gently cup my face. Oh, no. "Look at me." My body involuntarily listens, lifting my head to look into deep green eyes. 'Mate,' my wolf, Vanessa, whispers weakly, talking to me for the first time in over a year. 'Nessa?!' I try to call back to her. She doesn't reply. I look back at the twin that I now somehow know is Cameron. My eyes dart between him and Chris as I start to hyperventilate. No. If Cameron is my mate then that means...No...
