CHAPTER 64
That afternoon I had gotten changed into the proper working out clothes and I made my way to the training field where Walker was waiting with the five kids that I would be training.
“There she is. Alright, Nova. This is Liam, Oliver, James, Elsie and Amy.” Walker said.
“It’s nice to meet you.” I said.
“They’ve never trained before and they’ve been told that they are being watched to make sure that they behave.” Walker said.
“I’m sure I can handle it. Thanks.” I said.
So Walker left and I stood in front of the kids, looking at their body types and trying to come up with a good plan for them.
“I can’t believe they are making us do this.” Liam thought to himself.
“They’re making you do this Liam, so you know how to protect yourself in case there’s another
attack. We can’t guarantee that they aren’t going to get past us.” I said. And they all looked at
me with wide eyes. Realizing that the stories about me are true.
“Alright. This training field isn’t very big. And you all need to start on cardio and building up
your muscles. I want 10 laps of this field. Right now.” I said.
“Are you serious?” Elsie asked.
“If you argue then it will be 20.” I said. But she stood there and crossed her arms.
It looked like she was going to be the problem child and the other kids were taking their cue
from her.
So I held my hands out in front of me and I created and ice ball in one of my hands and I
started tossing it back and forth before I turned it into fire. And I started tossing it back and
forth in my hands as well.
“Do you really want to argue with me?” I asked.
“You won’t hurt us with that.” Elsie said.
“No. But I’m guessing fire will make you run faster.” I smirked.
“You’re on your own Elsie.” James said as the others turned around and started running the
laps.
Elsie stood there looking at me for a few moments longer when she finally turned around and

started running as well.
So I put the fire out.
“Don’t f*****g scare them.” Koda said in my head.

“Why not? If they’re going to ignore me, then I will do what’s necessary to make them move.” I said, without turning around to see where he was.
I could still hear the construction on the other side of the forest from where I was standing and I was starting to wonder how many houses they were actually building over there.
I know I’ve got the vote of all the members of these pack members, but I don’t want to have to go through the same s**t again when more of them come here.
I mainly worked on muscle building with the kids that day. Push ups, sit ups, chin ups. All that sort of stuff. Stuff that they probably thought was boring but it was necessary.
And when we finished, I let them all go and they all looked really sore.
I guess they really weren’t used to training at all.
I decided to go for a walk through the forest until I came to the clearing and I stood next to a tree looking at the rows of one level cabins that were being built.
They didn’t have a yard and barely any privacy.
I knew that the houses would have to be soundproofed because they were so close to each other. But it looked like they were building dozens of these cabins.
They were bringing a lot of people from California to Alaska.
I wonder how the wolves were going to handle the climate change.
It was a shock to me when I first got here. And I’m still getting used to it. But that’s only because it’s getting ready to start snowing.
With the amount of progress that they had made, I knew that they were going to be bringing people here very shortly. I had to be prepared for it. It was going to be a culture shock for me
as well.
I started walking back towards the pack when my phone started ringing. I looked at the screen and it said Ava.
“Hello.” I answered.
“Hi Nova. I’m so glad to get a hold of you. I wasn’t sure if you were going to be busy or not.”
“No. Just heading home. Is everything alright? Are you back?” I asked.

“No. Not yet. That’s why I’m calling. I probably won’t be back for a while. I have to stay at the facility here for a while. The scientists that work here are really having a hard time trying to get this formula right.” She explained. So I stopped walking and I started nodding my head.
“What formula?” I asked, playing dumb.
“Oh. It’s nothing that you need to worry about. But they are going to need me here for a while. I just wanted to make sure that you were alright. After everything that’s happened.” She said.
“Yeah. I’m doing great. I guess, the other species are helping me deal with not seeing the
triplets.”
“Good. I’m really glad to hear that. If you have any problems and want to talk to anyone then
please don’t hesitate to call.” She said.
“I won’t. Thanks.” I said.
When I got off the phone I stood there leaning against that tree for a moment just thinking about Ava back at the research facility that she runs in California.
It drove me crazy knowing what she’s doing in there but there was nothing that I could do about it right now. I needed to keep pretending like I didn’t know what was going on.
I must have been so deep in thought that when I turned around I jumped when I saw Tyler standing right in front of me.
He quickly put his hand over my mouth because there were people not too far from us and he
didn’t want to alert them.
“What the f**k are you doing? Do you want to get caught?” I whispered.
“No. But the danger is so f*****g hot.” He said, leaning in and kissing me on the neck.
He pushed my backwards until I was pressed up against the tree behind me and I let out a little moan before I realized what he was doing.
It was broad daylight and there were people everywhere in the woods.
“Alright. That’s enough.” I said, pushing him off me.
“You have no idea how much I want you right now.” He said, resting his forehead on mine.
“We have to be careful. Otherwise all of this is for nothing.” I said.
He didn’t answer me, but he didn’t move either.
I heard him taking in some deep breaths like he was trying to savor my scent.
But pretty soon we heard some voices getting closer to us and we hid around the other side of

the massive tree that he had me pressed up against.
We saw Izzy off in the distance walking along with a couple of her friends.
They didn’t look like they knew that we were there because Izzy was too busy talking her head off and they were all dressed like they were going out for the night.
They looked really out of place. But we just stayed quiet until we heard them mention the
triplets and her mother.
That caught our attention and we carefully moved a little bit closer without alerting them to
where we were, but so we could hear everything that she was saying.
“So, you’re saying that your mother deliberately broke up Nova and the triplets for you?” One of
her friends asked.
“That’s right. I have the best mother in the world. She’s determined to make sure that I am the next Luna of this pack. She says that I will be running this place. The triplets are going to be of no help, which I don’t understand, but she said that it’s going to come down to me to be the
Luna and Alpha.” Izzy said.
“So, where is Nova going?” Her friend asked.
“I don’t know. I think my mother has some plans to get rid of her. And it’s going to devastate the triplets. They won’t be able to function. So it will be up to me and my family to run this pack. I can’t wait.” Izzy said.
I turned to look at Tyler and he looked like he was ready to run through the woods and rip Izzy’s head off right now.
It was obvious that she didn’t know the full story. That Ava is planning on killing me and the triplets are going to be devastated that I am dead.
They’ll take advantage of that and move Izzy in on the triplets and get her to be the Luna.
“Don’t do it. You’ll give it all away. We’re playing the long game.” I said.
“I know. But there’s one thing I know for sure. We’re marking you before that war.” Tyler said. And I looked at him in complete shock.
