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

　　Sitting up, I look at myself in the mirror. My hair is a scruffy mess from all the tossing and turning, and can see slight bags under my eyes. My back feels okay, just a little tender, but nothing that can stop me from going to school. I shower and dress in jeans and a black tight-fitting shirt that shows off my muscular physique with my favourite pair of black sneakers. As I comb my hair back, it flings back into the scruffy style, giving me the ruggedly handsome look instead of the sleek, handsome look I usually go for. I take my seat at the table for breakfast.


　　‘Magnus, darling, how is your back dear?’ mother asks.


　　‘It’s fine. It wasn’t anything major, to begin with.’


　　‘I’m glad to hear,’ she smiles.
