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

　　'Why would I be angry, Nina?' He replies sarcastically, 'Is there something I should know about?' He scoffs.
