Beasts of Abigaile, Volume 1 by Spica Aoki

4.0

Ruberia is a beautiful island country known for its roses. Nina transfers to a school there after being bullied at her school in Japan and stays with her aunt and uncle. But not for long, as she's attacked when trying to help police catch an escaped criminal. He bites her and she starts to change. Her uncle told her that the legends about werewolves in Ruberia were just that, but she learns otherwise.

The luga--as they're known--are taken to Abigaile--an academy/prison. There they must learn to control their instincts and serve humans if they want any hope of escaping. The luga are treated horribly and Nina can't just watch. Her defense of a pup earns her the respect of some of the luga and the ire of those in charge. She has to learn fast to fit in and not let anyone find out she's actually human if she wants to get out of Abigaile.
