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

　　Leah and Jewel help me out of my second bath today, and whenI'm dry, I walk into my room and sit on my bed


　　''Arms up!'' Jewels instruct, and I throw my hands into the air.


　　Leah and Jewel pull a cream corset down my arms, over my head, and down past my underarms.


　　''Hands on your hips, Miss Maia,'' Jewel instructs as she and Leah stand behind me. They work their way up from the top of my backside and slowly upward, pulling at every piece of string, trying to kill me. The corset is tight, my ribs are being forced inward, and Ican't breathe.


　　''Are you trying to kill me?'' I ask, melodramatically, gasping for air and holding my sternum, feeling rather winded. Jewel and Leah laugh in hysterics at my reaction to the corset.


　　''Beauty is pain, Miss Maia,'' Jewel says, her face reddened with laughter.


　　They tie the strings in a double knot at the top of the corset and tuck them into the corset, hidden away.
