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

　　I can barely sleep; Ryker is on my mind all night. I’m apprehensive and nervous about the wolf-shift in four days. I get dressed, make the bed, and make my way downstairs to the dining room for breakfast. There are a few members already at the table eating; Amelia is one of them.


　　‘Good morning, Astrid,’ she says.


　　‘Good morning, everyone,’ I say, smiling and sitting next to Amelia. The other ladies smile.


　　‘You’ll have to tell me all about Shady Crest,’ I tell Amelia.


　　‘Alpha Zenith is obviously our Alpha,’ she giggles,


　　‘Yep. I think I got that,’ I giggle.
