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

　　Part of me is excited and wants to see Alec, but the other part feels guilty and thinks of Magnus.


　　We come to a standstill in front of the dark wooden door.


　　'What do these symbols mean?' Alpha Bennet inquires.


　　'If the dark ones on the other side escape their cells, these markings will prevent them from exiting through this door.'


　　'Like an invisible forcefield?' He asks.


　　'Yes, it will also harm them, inflicting severe pain and injury if they try to force themselves through it.'


　　As Yiselda opens the door, he responds, 'I see.' Alec's sandalwood and sage scent waft out the door, past me. My body is telling me to run to him. I'm still exhausted from nearly drowning this morning. I muster my strength to keep my feet from running to him. My fists clench, and I walk behind everyone, so they don't see me struggling to fight myself.
