Astrid lives alone with her dad; she has no idea she is a werewolf or that they even exist! 

It turns out the man that helped raise Astrid isn't her father at all, he tells her that her mother wanted her to have a ""normal"" life until the day she turned eighteen when she would have no choice but to tell Astrid the truth about her identity.

After a tragedy that killed her mother, her father turns abusive towards her over the years for her mother's death. 

Astrid remained completely unaware of her heritage, until a man named Ryker comes into her life claiming they are mates!

The Alpha’s Mate Who Cried Wolf

　　Sleeping awfully all night, I get up early before sunrise. I make my way downstairs to the kitchen to make myself breakfast. Entering, I freeze momentarily, as Alice is there, cutting up fruit. Alice pauses and looks up to see me; she becomes angry and the knife in her hand shakes.


　　‘Good morning Alice,’ I say, politely. She growls in warning.


　　‘I'm just going to get myself something to eat then I'll be gone,’ I say.


　　‘Permanently I hope,’ she mutters.


　　‘Alice, I get you’re upset, but I never planned any of this. I didn't even know werewolves existed until recently. Maybe if we get to know each other we might come to tolerate each other. Maybe even be friends,’ I say. I yelp when her knife flies past my face and into the wall.
