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

　　We sit by the fire and keep warm. I lay on my back and look up at the stars. Nina lies on her back next to me.


　　'I miss my mum and dad.' Nina says.


　　'Would you believe I'm even missing May?'


　　'What if it's months or years until we ever see them again?'


　　'We have each other. It's you and me now against the world until I find... the one.' I sigh.


　　'Yeah.' Nina frowns and stands up. 'I'm going to go for a walk.'


　　'No, please stay. Some time to myself is what I need. I won't go far. I promise.' She says with sadness.


　　I watch as she wanders further into the darkness of the woods. Why did she become so sad suddenly? She is going through a lot having no wolf, a curse, and a witch hunt after her. I wish I could hold her and smell her mint and lavender hair and tell her everything will be okay. If I could choose my own fated mate, I would choose Nina in a heartbeat.
