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

Even though we are all exhausted, we have made it to the small village. 


Werewolves and humans exit their houses and race toward us to help as soon as they see their Queen, Maia, is with us.


'My Queen, what has happened?' A lady asks.


'I come baring the most unfortunate news to you all, but first, my friends and I need food, water and rest,' Maia says to them.


We all turn to him, raising an eyebrow.


The people of Mystic Pride face back to Maia for confirmation. Surprisingly she nods.


They all bow and lead us under a large wooden pavilion with wooden tables and chairs. Bowls of fruit, bread and cheeses are brought out to us with jugs of wine and water that are kindly poured into our chalices. A boy carries a basket with wool inside and passes it to me.


'It's for your pet to rest in,' he says.


'Thank you, that's so kind of you,' I say to him, accepting the basket.
