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

　　The next day I walk straight past Nina and ask May if she wants to climb some trees with me, Trixie, and Zach. I can see out the corner of my eyes Nina’s eyebrows crease in confusion as May and I have rarely ever spoken to each other, nor have we ever played together.


　　‘Okay, let’s go.’ I smile and wave for her to follow.


　　Nina stands there watching us, then runs after us. ‘Hey, I want to climb trees too, you know!’


　　I stop and face her. ‘No, only my friends can join,’ 


　　‘What are you talking about, Magnus? I’m your best friend?’


　　‘You were never my friend,’ I growl and regroup with others.


　　Nina’s face turns sombre, with a hint of confusion.


　　‘That’s harsh, don’t you think, Magnus? You and Nina have been the best of friends since you were both babies,’ Flint says.
