Hidden mate

Ch 2: First period

Pushing the door open, Sabine walked into the noisy classroom. It was Geography studies so it was packed, all senior students had to study Geography as werewolves were so reliant on their environment. Sabine saw the front row window desk free, her favourite spot, and plopped down on the seat to wait for class to start. It was her favourite spot because she could daydream out the window and it was away from the loud students who always mucked around so the teachers hardly noticed her.

While Sabine was busy looking out the window at the mountain range in the far distance, she heard heavy footsteps approaching and taking a seat next to her.

“Hey Sabine, you got here early. I was hoping to walk to school with you.” Toby pouted as he put his muscley arms around Sabine for a quick hug from behind. Sabine turned around to Toby as she rolled her eyes for fun and smiled at him. She noticed during the holidays her 6’2 friend was training a lot more. Toby started gaining bulky muscles and getting a nice bronzed tan. Some of the other girls in the class also noticed the change in Toby.

“I went for an early morning walk to the lake before school to get some fresh morning air. I walked past your door and you were snoring so loudly.” Smirked Sabine as she poked his side and playfully messed his dark black hair that was long on top and short on the sides. Toby’s dark hair contrasted perfectly with his sparkling blue eyes, making most girls turn to putty with just one look.

“Wake me up next time. I love going to the lake too.” Toby chuckled while looking at Sabine’s emerald green eyes a second too long. He loved the way Sabine’s long silky black hair fell past her shoulders and framed her cute round face with layered bangs. Sabine was 5’8 with soft curves, plump lips, and a small button nose. She wasn’t athletic and toned but all the guys would steal glances at her feminine curves whenever she walked past.

Toby and Sabine both lived at the teenagers cottage with a few others. While Sabine only moved in about 2 years ago, Toby had been there for 5 years since he was 13. Toby’s dad was the original pack Beta, who died while saving his family from a house fire. His mother had fallen into a deep depression and wasn’t able to care for him. Although he’s technically not an orphan, he asked to move into the cottage and not with relatives so he could learn to be more independent while his mother was getting treatment.

It was early February and Toby already turned 18 years old a few weeks ago. He was a full grown werewolf now, and he was keen to sniff out his mate. He knew since most of his classmates were still 17, he’d have to wait awhile before their scent matured. In the meantime he’ll just secretly pray to the goddess someone in particular would be his mate when her birthday came along next month.
