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 entire town of Shadow Crest has been abuzz with rumours about the vampire king becoming my second mate. We'll be having Astrid, Ryker, and my parents around for dinner to talk about it all in more detail.


　　The moment they walk into the packhouse, we all meet and embrace one another, 'Please take a seat in the dining room. It won't be long until dinner is served.' I smile.


　　The kitchen staff have laid out a feast along the table, and we have begun to pile food onto our plates.


　　'So, dear, tell me all about the vampire king? Does he treat you well? Is he handsome?' My mum inquires.


　　'Amelia!' Magnus says with a snarl.


　　'What? I think we're all a little curious,' she says.


　　'You asked Nina about her second mate in such a casual manner, as if it were entirely common to have two mates.' Magnus says.
