Mark of a Star

The Beginning

       For as long as I could remember, it's always been dad and I, although pictures show that I once had a mom and sister, but I think they're long gone. I sometimes wonder what happened to them, although only when I see the pictures. Dad always said it didn't matter that they left us, that we were better off, but sometimes I wonder what it would have been like to have a mother. 

    In our pack, it's uncommon for people to leave, it's honestly uncommon for most packs to have people leave, and when they do, we normally have little to no contact with them. Although that depends on where they go when they leave. 

    My pack, the Mountain Star pack, is one of the larger packs in the area, although the cause of this, other packs in the area don't always get along with us. We are allies with few packs, but that's enough for us to not be attacked by enemy packs or rouges. 

    Because of the size of my pack, we have our own schools, which not all packs have. Some packs will sometimes go and commute to a school if they're close to a pack that has one. A few of the neighboring packs commute to our packs schools because of the large size of it. 

    I don't really have a lot of friends, mostly because people see me as a freak because of my mom leaving my family. It's not something normal, so I understand why it happens. I have two friends, Ash and Mya, and we've been at the hip for as long as I can remember. 

    Even though my life has been rough, it hasn't been terrible. I have my dad, and my friends, and that's enough for me. It always has been, and always needs to be, and I know that I have to work hard to get where I want to go.
