Ch 1: Final Year
Walking up to the gates of Three Mountains high, Sabine smiles to herself thinking ‘Finally I only have one more year of school and then I’m free to go where ever I want! ‘. Almost two years ago at the age of 16, Sabine Arison moved into the pack cottages for orphaned children and teens. Her father was a pack warrior who had died from a rogue attack while on border patrol, and her mother passed away a few months later of a broken heart. Since the Arison’s were a small family, Sabine didn’t have anywhere else to go. Her extended family members lived in other packs and barely knew her. The New Moon pack had set up cottages for the orphaned underage werewolves to live together under supervision. There were strict rules where the orphans couldn’t roam outside pack borders except to attend school, and curfew was 9pm for the teenagers.
As she walked through the school courtyard, Sabine saw people from her grade greeting each other. The guys giving high fives and the girls were hugging and squealing. It had been almost two months since school ended last year and some of the students haven’t seen each other since. Three mountains high has students attending from three neighbouring packs; New moon (Sabine’s pack), Silver moon, and Crescent moon. This was to help maintain peaceful pack alliances, and help young of age werewolves to find their mate.
Sabine smiled to herself again as she saw her senior classmates were all excited for the school year to start. They would be finally finishing school, turning into a full werewolf on their 18th birthdays, and getting out into the real world. She reached her locker and got her books ready for first period. It was going to be an exciting year and she might actually enjoy it.
