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 walk through the courtyard, and I see Yiselda sitting by herself. She appears troubled.


　　'How about you two go on ahead? I'm going to see if Yiselda is okay,' I say.


　　Magnus and Alec peer over to Yiselda and see her moping on a bench seat. They nod and walk away together. Sometimes I don't get Alec and Magnus. They argue and fight, yet they are by each other's side more than mine at times. They truly are like brothers. I roll my eyes at the back of them again.


　　'Yiselda,' I say in a chirpy tone and sit beside her. 'You didn't come to the orc trials?'


　　'Oh, I was hoping to see you there, but that's okay,' I smile.


　　She waves her wand at the ground in a circular motion making the leaves float from the ground and swirl into a tiny whirlwind.


　　'So, you seem pretty quiet… and glum?' I say. 'You don't like it here?' I add.
