In the Shadow of Lies
My fiancé, Ryan Hebert, is a Beta of the Darkmoon Pack, and my father is an elder of the pack's neutral branch.
To force me to break off our engagement, Ryan uses his power to make my father's company go bankrupt. He lands my father in millions of dollars of debt.
My father can't handle this and has a heart attack on a full moon night. He's taken to the emergency room.
I get to my knees before Ryan and beg him to pay for my father's surgery, but he leaves without a word. Just then, my childhood friend, Andrew Rasmussen returns after having gone missing for five years.
He brings the best wolf healer to treat my father. He also stays by my side as I watch over my father. However, a week later, my father has another heart attack. Before he dies, his final wish is to see me protected for life.
Andrew kneels by his bedside and makes a vow. "I'll marry her. I'll protect her with my life and blood."
After the funeral, I call off my engagement with Ryan, my heart filled with despair. Then, I marry Andrew.
Five years later, I inadvertently hear a conversation between Ryan and Andrew.
"Your plan worked perfectly! You made Eleanor willingly give up on me when she used to cling to me like superglue. Do you think she'd want to kill you if she were to learn you caused her father's death?"
