CHAPTER 23
FLASHBACK–14 YEARS OLD
Jacob and I are in a field surrounded by the forest outside of town. Jacob had picked this place out very carefully knowing that no one ever comes here. It was really overgrown when we first found the clearing but now, it was getting worn since we have been coming out here every single day.
We were out in the field training and he was teaching me how to fight. And I was starting to get really good at it.
I was actually able to knock Jacob on his ass by now and we were starting to have a lot of fun with it.
It was fun training with him, he made it fun. He wasn’t so serious all the time and we were becoming fast friends.
Just as we were finishing our training his mother Ava showed up, but she wasn’t alone.
I was sitting on the ground with my water bottle and we were joking around with each other, but as soon as Ava arrived with the other people, he got really serious all of a sudden.
I turned around to look and Ava was there with a young woman and an older woman. So I sat there and looked back at Jacob and I saw him walking towards me more protectively. Trying to stand between me and those women.
“Jacob. It’s alright.” Ava said.
“No. It’s not. We don’t know what that fae or witch wants.” Jacob said.
“They are here to help. They know about Nova and she needs their help. You’re helping her be
a werewolf. They need to help her open up her fae side and her witch side.” Ava said.
“And what about the vampire side? What are you going to do there?” Jacob asked.
“I’ve got that covered. But I think it’s best that you not be there when we do.” Ava said.
I stood up off the ground and I was getting really confused about what was going on. Jacob knew that I had all species in me and he was fine being around me. But it was obvious that he didn’t like or trust fae’s or witches.
“Fine. But I’m staying here while they are near her.” Jacob insisted.
“That’s fine.” Ava said.
So Ava walked closer to us and Jacob was sure to stay in front of me while the other two

women were looking at me with wide smiles and what looked like pride in their eyes. “Nova. This is Daisy, the fae and this is Scarlett. She’s a witch.” Ava said.
“Really? The Scarlett witch?” Jacob scoffed.
“Jacob. Either be quiet or go home.” Ava scolded him. So he folded his arms across his chest.
“It’s so nice to finally meet you. We were wondering when you were finally going to be found.” Scarlett said.
“Well, here I am.” I said.
“You are so much more than we could have imagined. We were watching you train for a little bit. You’re good.” Daisy said.
“That’s all to Jacob. He’s been training me every day.” I said.
“And now it’s time for her to start training as a fae and a witch. She needs to tap into her powers if they’re going to be of any use to her.” Ava said.
“Have you shown any powers at all?” Daisy asked.
“No. I haven’t noticed anything.” I said.
“Well, we definitely have a lot of work to do.” Scarlett said. And all the women agreed. But Jacob looked at me and rolled his eyes.
“And who’s the vampire that’s going to help me?” I asked.
“He’ll be here soon. He has to wait for the sun to go down.” Ava said.
“Aren’t your parents going to be worried about you?” Scarlett asked.
“I don’t think my mother even knows that I still live with her.” I said.
They all looked at each other strangely but Ava just shook her head, telling them not to worry about it. And not to ask about it.
“Tonight is just an introduction but starting tomorrow, they are going to start training her as well. You’ve done great with her Jacob and it’s not going to stop. But we have to make sure that she can defend herself in all ways.” Ava explained.
“I know. But I’m still staying for all of it.” Jacob insisted.
It wasn’t long before the sun went down and pretty soon a man suddenly appeared in front of us at the speed of light.
“Owen.” Jacob growled.

“I guess you two know each other.” I said.
“He’s a vampire and he doesn’t feed on humans. He feeds on animals and he is not going to
hurt us.” Ava assured me.
“Alright. Is that alright?” I asked, looking at Jacob.
“I guess it has to be.” Jacob said.
“Listen, I’m not here to cause trouble. I’m here to help. Just like everyone else. You know that.”
Owen said.
“Yeah. You’re always just trying to help.” Jacob spat at him.
“Jacob.” Ava said.
“It’s alright. Tonight are just introductions and I’m glad to meet you all. I know I will get to know you all a lot more.” I said.
“You too. I couldn’t believe it when Ava called and said that she had found the prophet. We
really didn’t think we would ever see this day.” Owen said.
“Well, I didn’t think I would ever turn into a werewolf. I guess we’re all a bit surprised.” I said.
“I can imagine that this is a huge shock for you.” Daisy said.
“Yeah. That’s one thing I’ve been wanting to ask you about Ava. You know all about me. Who I
am and this so called prophet. Do you know who my father is?” I asked. And she looked at the
others that she had just brought into the clearing.
“I’m sorry. I don’t know who he is. I’ve never met him. I only knew who you were when you started attending the school that I taught at.” She said.
“Alright. I guess, there was no harm in asking. Obviously all of this stuff is coming from my
father’s side of the family. It would be nice to know who he actually is and how I ended up with
so many species in me.” I said.
“Well, that’s pretty complicated. And only your father would be able to answer that question. I can start doing some investigating for you if you like.” Ava said.
“I would really appreciate that. Thank you.” I said.
“Alright. Well, we need to set up a schedule for you to train with.” Scarlett said.
“Don’t you think this will be a little too much for her? I mean, there’s a lot of training that she’s gonna be needing here and we’re not stopping our werewolf training. She needs to be able to control her wolf and defend herself in human self.” Jacob snapped.

“We will work something out so it’s not too hard for her.” Ava said.
“It better not be. Because she doesn’t need to be over exhausted every day.” Jacob said.
“I see you’ve taken quite a liking to our little prophet here.” Owen said.
“Yeah. We’re friends and I don’t want to see anything happen to her.” Jacob snapped.
I managed to get Jacob out of there while being nice to the people that I met, but before
Jacob could start a fight with anyone else. So we got in his car and he drove me home but he
had to stop down the road.
He couldn’t drop me off in front of the house because Evelyn would see or her boyfriend and that would just cause me a lot more grief than I needed.
