Chapter 3

Sapphire’s POV

I heard the sound of my door creaking and I opened my eyes slowly, my whole body felt sore and it felt like I had been asleep for a very long time. I looked around but nothing was familiar. The bed is different from the usual as it feels so cozy and the sunlight came in from a different direction of the window.

Something felt different, I felt different. I couldn't tell what exactly it was. I looked at my hand and my eyes widened instantly. I looked at the dress I have on and then my hand again it is definitely not my hand. The biggest shock of it all is the skin tone. At this point, I realized I am in someone else’s body.

i tried thinking hard about why i feel like a different person in a different body but the harder I thought about it, the more my head ached. But I was sure of one thing though, I should be dead.

I didn't realize when I screamed out loud and in less than a minute, the maid came in panicking but the panic soon became happiness as she saw me awake. “My lady has awoken! My lady had awoken.!”I heard her exclaim happily.

In a few minutes, I saw people who seemed like royalty walk in with happy smiles on their faces and I could not help but feel overwhelmed.

“Thank you for not leaving me my daughter.” a woman said, hugging me tightly.

“Welcome back sweetheart.” a man said smiling and gave me a hug.

I remained on the same spot looking at how they all looked at me with amusement.

“Have you called the royal physician?” the woman asked.

“Yes, he’ll be here soon.” the girl who had rejoiced about me waking up responded.

“Where am i? Who are you?” I asked in confusion and tears flowed down the woman’s eyes.

“I’m sorry you have to go though this but you will be fine. She said to me and I was dumbfounded.

The physician soon arrived and he checked me with care. “She is healthy and it will take a while for her to regain her memory but she is okay and storing like she used to be.” the doctor said to the woman who looked very excited to hear that. If there is anything I am sure of, it is the fact that this is definitely not my body but I cannot say it to anyone until I figure everything out.

Days turned into weeks and weeks into months, yet I could not figure anything out. I could not recall a lot of things concerning my past life, leaving me in utter confusion. The most uncomfortable part of it all is that I felt a very deep sadness in me and I couldn't tell why. The more I felt it, the more it felt like there was a part of my previous life I needed to make peace with.

“Good afternoon my lady, your father asked to see you.” my maid called from behind me.

“I’ll meet him soon.” I responded with a fake smile. Another thing that annoyed me alot is the fact that I had to live this life. This life obviously belongs to someone else and I cannot afford to ruin it before I figure out why I am in someone else’s body.

I shrugged my shoulders, took a deep breath in and walked to the great hall to meet my supposed father.

I opened the door and I walked in slowly and cautiously. “Good afternoon father.” I greeted him.

“Afternoon Sapphire, sit.” my father said to me and I sat down.

“I called you here to let you know that you will be introduced to your mate tomorrow.” he said to me while writing a letter.

“My mate? Tomorrow? Why such a short notice?” I asked with my eyes wide.

“Because you refused to let go of your measly lover who has no social status or noble name. I refuse to let you taint my image.” he said to me with a very stern voice but a voice inside of me refused and i didnt realize when i fired words back at him.

“I refuse to leave Gonzalo, I will marry him and he will be my eternal love.'' Aside from having Gonzalo as my boyfriend in the present, something about that name felt so familiar but I could not place my fingers on what exactly or why.

“You will, you don't have a choice.” he said to me and from the look on his face, it doesn't look like i have the chance to dispute whatever he was saying.

“Take her to her room and make sure she does not leave.” my father ordered the guard on standby.

“You can choose to follow him willingly to your room or he will carry you on his shoulders, the choice is yours.” my father said to me and I kept my eyes fixed on him for a few minutes.

I stood up gently ad walked to my room feeling super dejected but there was nothing i could do other than live this life that isn't mine,

Night came fast and I went to bed with the thought of the following morning running through my mind. In a few hours, I was awoken by my maid who already had everything prepared for the day.

I took my bath and she dressed me up, styled my hair and also applied a little bit of makeup. After doing that, we waited until I was called to the great hall to be presented to my mate.

Finally, I as called and I made my way to the great hall to meet with the mystery alpha whom father trusts so much to hand me over to

"Good morning father," I greeted my father with a curtsey and smile.

"Good morning." I greeted the alpha who sat down beside him.

As I tuned in to look at him, I became instantly sure that I knew him but I couldn't remember how.

I began to search my mind but nothing seemed to come to me and I could feel a fog of emotions and I could barely make out a coherent thought. At the moment, it felt like all my thoughts were jumbled up.

I used my eyes to scrutinize him and I couldn't help but notice his perfect jawline, his piercing blue eyes and his broad shoulders.

"Sapphire," my father started and I turned to his direction to look at him. "This is Alpha Alberto and on this day, I present you to him. He is your mate and you shall both be blinded together under tonight's full moon. The moon goddess and the entire pack shall bear witness to that."

I know that name, I am so sure I know the name. I took a step toward and looked at him very well and our eyes locked in each other.

"I am delighted to have you as my Luna and then every memory comes rushing back.

"Sapphire?" My father called out but I could hardly hear him, my head was spinning and the memories felt too much to comprehend all at once.

With one hand in my head and the other one on the table trying to maintain my balance from the head spinning.
