Chapter 9

"Language, Grace Ann Palmer!" My grandmother scolded.

"I'm sorry, I just found out you are a witch, which means I am a witch, which is not too far fetched since I also just found out I am the soulmate of an Alpha of a local werewolf pack. So please excuse me for yelling obscenities." I said sarcastically. 

A freaking witch! I mean Jack just told me in the car I was supernatural, but a witch! I didn't expect that at all. 

My grandmother rolled her eyes and now I realize why people hate me doing it so much.

"Calm down child, all of this was meant to happen." She said.

"What do you mean 'meant to happen'? " I asked.

"Calm down, Grace. I saw it back when you were two, right before your parents died."

I sat there in silence. I refused to speak anymore until she gave me some actual answers.

"I am a witch, your mother was a witch and you, child, are a witch. When I had a vision of you mating a wolf, your mother didn't accept it. She quit practicing long before she married your father and she wanted you away from our world. She had me bind your powers but I knew one day you would come back to me with what you know now and ask for them back. You are meant to change the supernatural world with Darren Gates. He is your soulmate because our kind will always find each other. Even in the beginning."

"The beginning as in Romulus the first wolf?" Jack asked. Jack had been leaning against the wall glaring at his flowery tea cup but when my grandmother brought up Romulus he came to sit by me. 

My grandmother nodded and continued, "When Romulus was turned he met a witch named Nadia. She foretold of their bloodlines one day joining, making a bloodline that is unbeatable. I had the vision of you...you are the one to bring the bloodlines together. With this comes great danger because no one wants an unbeatable race."

"Well I don't want to be mated to Darren Gates. I have werewolves trying to kill me already and I don't need the rest of the supernatural population trying to take a bite out of my ass too. So thanks but no thanks, Gran. The tale was lovely but that's all it will ever be, a tale." I said as I stood up and exited the living room.

I didn't even stop in the foyer but went straight outside and to the car. I didn't have time for this, I had a test on Monday and I don't need to be worried about bullshit werewolf problems.

I set my cup of tea down and quickly exited the living room. My grandmother scowled at my retreating form, I could feel it leaving holes in my back. I heard Jack whispering to my grandmother as I shut the front door but I needed to get away from her. 

A few minutes after I got into Jack's car, I started fidgeting. My heart started contracting and thumping hard against my chest. I felt worried and angry at the same time which is weird because I didn't have a reason to be.

No, this wasn't me. This was Darren....he seemed to be freaking out. I shouldn't have thrown that phone out!

Jack came out of my grandmother's house followed by my grandmother herself. My gran waved at my and I turned my head away from her. I just couldn't deal with all of this deciet and prophecy shit right now.

My grandmother shut the door and I was thankful for all the barriers now between us. I knew this wasn't right but she kept such a big part of my life from me. Now she wanted to tell me and just expect me to buy into all of the Nadia shit. No, I needed to take the control back. 

Jack got in the car and immediately frowned at me.

"I remember you being more polite." He said.

"That was you just dreaming. It's about damn time you actually got into the car though. We need to get back." I replied.

"Why the sudden need to be home?" he asked.

"I think there is something wrong with Darren..."

"Like?" Jack asked.

"He is pissed and it is really messing with my emotions." I growled.

"Fuck." Is all he said before he speed out of my grandmother's driveway.
