Growing up Half-Human, Half-Werewolf was a tough one for Laura, especially while living amongst Werewolves.
Everyday of her life, She was bullied and maltreated by wolves in the community.
Laura grew up with her werewolf grandparents. She moved in with them after losing her mother and Father.
Her mother gave up the ghost few seconds after giving birth to her, while her father died when she was just two years old.
After losing her parents to death, Rumour spread far and wide about the news of their death and People started calling Laura a witch. They warned one another to stay away from her.
"Stay away from her. She killed both of her parents, She could kill you too", They would say.
Because of this, Laura's Grandparents Mr and Mrs Goldenfish had to Homeschool her and They always locked her inside the house, She didn't know what the outside world looked like.
She was only Homeschooled for a few years though.
When Laura was 16 years old, Her grandparents enrolled her at Salvage High School and that was the beginning of hell.
...
Laura came to Salvage High School along with her Grandmother that fateful day. As soon as the enrollment process was complete, Mrs Goldenfish handed over Laura to her new Homeroom teacher, bade her goodbye and left the school premises.
Laura was taken to the 10th grade.
"Introduce yourself."
"Hi. My name is Laura Goldenfish. I have never been in an actual school before, I was homeschooled. This is my first school. I hope we get along and eventually become friends. It's a pleasure to meet you," Laura said, as She stood in front of the class.
After She was done speaking, The Teacher properly welcomed her, told the students to be good to her and directed her to sit in an empty seat at the middle row in the class.
After everyone had settled in, lectures began for the day.
Soon, School was Over for the day and Laura packed her books inside her bag, left the classroom and headed towards the main Exit, on a bid to go home.
While She was walking down, Three girls interrupted her. They stood in front of her and blocked her way. They were Franca, Francesca, and Frankenstein.
Franca, Francesca and Frankenstein were Triplets. They were very beautiful and were very popular, not only in Salvage High School, but also in the entire werewolf clan.
They were also the daughters of the current Beta.
F3, As they were Popularly called, were nothing short of ugly when it came to Character; They were nonchalant, Spoilt and bullies.
No one dared to cross paths with them, They were feared by everyone in High School.
"Hi. Please, can I pass? Someone is waiting for me outside." Laura calmly said to F3.
They immediately burst into laughter. Laura was baffled, She wondered what was funny about what She had just said.
Suddenly, they stopped laughing and put one of their hands across their nose in unison, as if they had perceived something awful.
"Am I the only one perceiving this?" Franca said, now placing both of her hands tightly on her nose. "Cesca and Stein, Can you imagine? Another one, a smelly type this time around, just doesn't seem to know her place, again!"
The 3 girls burst into laughter again.
By this time, Tons of Students had already surrounded the hall. They were really amused. Laughter filled the atmosphere.
"New Smelly girl, We will just let you be for today because you Just started this school, but I'm gonna give you an assignment, go and find out who we are. I hope this doesn't repeat itself, Smelly." Franca said and pushed Laura to the ground.
The three girls left after that and the crowd followed.
Laura was on the ground, baffled. She still couldn't understand what had just happened.
She didn't put much thoughts into it though. She stood up, dusted her clothes and resumed walking to the exit door.
As She passed the exit door of the school, someone tapped her shoulder. She turned to her left and looked at the person.
"Hi. I'm Amina." She said, introducing herself. "I saw you with F3 earlier. Please, Avoid them." Now whispering, She said.
"F...3? What do you mean?"
"Yes F3. Those three girls who confronted you, that's what we call them here. They are people you shouldn't mess with for your own good. Don't ever. In this high school, No one dares to leave School before them; what you almost did today. The last time someone did, They taught him a terrible lesson."
From when they were in the school premises till when it was time for Laura to get into her grandmother's car, which was packed outside, Amina told her everything She needed to know about F3.
They bade each other goodbye and the car zoomed off.

Somewhere in Freder Werewolf clan
A man was lying down on a bed and a younger Man sat on a chair beside the bed.
"Son, you have to find a mate, your Luna. You are 18 and of age. You know I'm weak already and no longer fit to be the Alpha. You are the next in line. You need to find a mate in order to become the Alpha as soon as possible because I might not last long..." He started coughing.
That was the voice of Gerald Germanson, The current Alpha King. He became sick 2 months ago and since then, He had been bedridden.
"Dad, Please don't say that. Please." Concerned Grinn, The soon-to-be Alpha said to his father and handed him a glass of water to drink.
Though The royal family tried to hide the Alpha King's ailment from the public, They eventually found out. No one knows who spread the news.
Since the news got out, The Beta and Leaders of all the werewolf clans started a daily riot and called for the Alpha's dismiss from seat.
This bothered King Gerald so much, that was part of the reason why he kept pestering Grinn to get a mate, so that he would officially become the Alpha. Another reason why he wanted him to get a mate was because he had lost hope that he would become better.
"Dad, I will get a mate, I promise. I will get one on the night of the full moon ritual taking place next week."
