The Alpha’s Mate Who Cried Wolf Novel SynopsisTears roll down my cheeks as my father holds me against my bedroom wall by my hair. Striking my face, he splits my lip,
and bruises my eye after striking me again. I fall to the floor crying.
‘Please Dad! Stop this, stop hurting me!’ I beg.
‘YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU KILLED YOUR MOTHER!’ He shouts.
‘Please Dad! You know it was an accident. I didn't mean for her to die!’ I plead. We stare at eachother with cold
consternation. ‘Please Dad! Please forgive me,’ I beg.
He looks at me with hatred in his eyes, before his expression changes. He smirks.
‘Oh Astrid, you’re no daughter of mine! You never were: your mother told me your real father was killed when she was
pregnant with you. I loved your mother so much I was willing to pretend to be your father!’
‘No! That's not true! Mum would never keep something like that from me!’ I yell while sobbing.
‘Your mother didn't want you to find out the truth until you were eighteen. She wanted you to live a normal life. She says
once you’re eighteen you would find out your true identity. I didn’t know what she really meant; I guess she was planning
to tell you about your biological father then. You’ll never find out who he is now!’ He cackles before kicking me in the
ribs. I yell out in pain and hold my side. Locking my bedroom door behind him, he leaves me in my bedroom alone.
Dragging my beaten figure across the cold, hard floor, I carefully lift myself up onto my quilted bed and lie on my side.
With a sore right hand, I feel my broken ribs under my clothing and burst into tears. I don’t know how long I lie there this
way before crying myself to sleep. The next morning, I gingerly pull my work uniform on and quietly creep down the
stairs. Dad is asleep; most likely passed out in a drunken stupor. I pull my hoodie over my head, walk out the front door,
and head to work.
I was going to school until my teachers saw the bruises on my arms and called Dad into the principal’s office to question him.
I begged my teachers not to contact him. They didn't believe me when I told them I’m clumsy and just fell down the stairs.
