002

My thumb was slick with sweat, and I gasped for air, the breath lodged in my throat like a stubborn stone. I had been reborn into the form of a nurse—the very same nana they were discussing. Yes, I had crossed over to the other side.

I had returned to the realm of the living.

My mind was a swirling tempest of confusion and dread, as the air has been seized.

This was a sign from the moon goddess—a second chance at life! But then, a pang of anguish gripped my heart as memories flooded in, Leo, my precious pup. How was he coping with the knowledge that his mother was gone? And Ethan, my mate—what was he feeling?

Tears streamed down my cheeks, feeling my heart squeezed, remembering the pain my child must have in his heart.

The sound of my sorrow caught the attention of two girls nearby, and they approached me with concern.

Sarah knelt beside me, her grey-amber eyes wide with worry, her eyes piercing through me for answers"What’s wrong? Why are you crying? Nana, are you okay?" she murmured, gently brushing the tears from my face.

As much as I longed to scream for my child, to reach out and hold him once more, the words caught in my throat, silenced by the weight of my grief.

I wasn't Alicia anymore, I wasn't an omega, am now in the body of a human nurse, powerless as a lamb.

My breath hitched as I felt an headache slamming against my brain.

There's no way am going to tell them I was Alicia grey the wife of a billionaire that died in the tragic accident, how the hell will they believe me, I might just be tag as a psycho path, how was i going to see my pup and Ethan I missed them alot.

Judging from the tones of this girls I guess they were all best friends.

I sniffed as I wiped the tears of my eyes" Am fine, just feeling a throbbing headache" I lied as my voice choke with hoarse.

They both stared at their self puzzled at my speech with dismay placed on their faces

The other lady which I guess was also their friend squatted to my level and cupped my face with her delicate hands "Did you have a fight with Jason?" She whispered, with warmth void in her tone.

My eyebrows furrowed slightly as my head was buzzing with confusion, who the flipping fuck is JASON??

In as much as curiosity was sinking me, I couldn't ask who was he, what if he's a close relative and they suspected something is wrong with me!

There's no way am blowing up my cover

"N.o I didn't...have a. Fight with Jason" I stammered, evading my gaze from them in other not to get caught.

With a slight wobble, Sarah rose to her feet, staggering slightly, feeling the ground beneath her shaken.

She clapped her hands together, a determined sigh escaping her lips. "Since Jason isn’t the issue, I suppose it’s time for me to fetch you some meds," she declared, her smile radiating warmth.

Just as she was about to make her exit, a loud, insistent ringtone sliced through the air, halting her in her tracks. My gaze shifted slowly, realizing the source of the noise was none other than my own pocket. I fished out Nana's phone, my heart racing as I read the name flashing on the screen.

“MOM”

Nana’s mother was calling. Oh no! What was I going to say? What could I possibly do now? How could I even begin to gauge the nature of their relationship?

My confused thoughts were abruptly interrupted by a piercing gaze. I looked up to find Sarah staring at me, a look of confusion etched across her face, her lips forming a perfect "O" of surprise.

"Pick your mom call dumbass, are you going to allow it ring forever?" She yelled frustratedly, gritting her teeth, frustration vividly laced in her expression.

I hesitated for a second before sliding my delicate finger across the screen.

"He.ll.o " I stammered nervously, my fingers tightened around the phone, my heart beating rapidly against my chest, what was I going to say?

What am I going to do? How will I know their previous conversation!!

Picking the call I was welcomed by a cool yet soft voice across the phone.

"Hello nana, where are you? Sarah called me yesterday you were attacked by a terrible headache, how are you feeling now?" My breath hitched, confusion floating through my soul.

What should I say next_ mother?

I directed my gaze up and was welcomed by Sarah frustrated glare

I evaded my gaze down and cleared my throat

"M.om am fine" I responded cutly, trepidation clearly vivid in my tone.

"Mom?" The word hung in the air like a heavy fog, my mind couldn't help but swirled back to the past where I lost my mother as a mere pup. Growing up under the shadow of my father, the alpha of the Moonfang pack, was a relentless torment.

He blamed me for her death, choking me with distain with every chance he had.

Even after he took a new mate, I was still the target of their scorn, her children finding it pleasurable to bully me with every chance they had.

Living with my father was like being trapped in a cruel rogue werewolf den, But then, on my 18th birthday, fate smiled upon me. I found solace in Ethan Grey, the alpha of the Shadowborn pack. He welcomed me into his arms, showering me with love, riches, and the attention I had long craved. In return, I gifted him our son, Leo, a bright light in my otherwise shadowy existence. Yet, even after this new beginning, my father remained silent, never once inquiring about my well-being or the grandchild he would never acknowledge.

Life, with all its unfairness, dealt me a cruel hand, and in the end, I met my demise. But at least my father found his happiness, right?

Lost in the depths of my tragic thoughts, I suddenly jolted back to reality, realizing I was still on a phone call. The young lady on the other end was calling my name, her voice rising in urgency, wondering if I was still there.

I jolted up from the daze and said"am fine mom, I think the network is having a glitch" I lied, holding my breath as the word mother sounds like hot metal on my lips.

She sighed over the phone and said"good, am waiting for you at home, I prepared your favorite dish, hurry up" she ended the call, with a loud tone of termination sounded boisterously in my ears as the phone was stuck on my ears.

Home? I panic how was i going to go the Nana's house, yes I really need to reconcile with my family, but not with this face I need to think on how to get back to my pup and mate.

But how will I go home? In other to get close to my husband I need to know more about Nana's life, what she eat, what was her favorite food, her favorite movie, her relationship with her family, after knowing that I could know when to strike my plan and know the way about Ethan and my child.

I brought the phone down nervously as I slowly diverted my gaze to Sarah, she was the only person who can help me now, it seems she was close to nana...

And how come nana was suffering from a terrible headache that got everyone alerted?

My eyes suddenly widened as a reality stuck me, I think for me to be able to possess her body she died from the terrible headache, that was why our soul got swapped.

An uncomfortable ached instantly speard through my heart, such young girl, how will her family or friends feel knowing fully well their precious nana has died and the person in her body was an imposter!

I wasn't going to let that happen! am going to reconcile with my family and still make them have their precious nana, I promise.

I parted my lips and was about to ask Sarah where my home is and was distracted my a nurse who dashed towards us and was panting heavily, holding the other girl who I guess was Sarah friend for support as she held her chest, trying to catch her breath.

Sarah furrowed her eyebrows and inquired"what's wrong Stacy where are you acting like you just seen a ghost?"

She continued panting avoiding the blazing eyes which was penetrating through her soul for questions.

"Sarah, Abigail and nana I have great news" she yelled slightly excitement void in her tone as she struggled to speak.

"What is that" Sarah inquired.

"I just heard it from doctor ken that ethan grey is suffering from paralysis and his manager picked this hospital to provide a nurse for his treatment" I immediately jolted up from my chair, as wave of excitement and hope flushed through me.

He needed a nurse? He was suffering from paralysis, how? Why? Ohh my what about Leo? Is he well taken care of, panic equipped in my heart as I felt an invisible lump stock in my throat.

Luckily for me the nurse ability didn't change, I had the memory of nana nurse ability, this was my chance to reconcile with my family.

Abigail scoffed coldy and said

"So? Why are you telling us? If it's aspect of seducing him to fall inlove with us, I can't, first of us I can't date a paralyzed being even if he is fucking rich, and secondly I have a lovely hot, big dick boyfriend, so thank yummmmm, I aren't interested maybe nana and Sarah are?" She said cutly, disgust flashy shown in her eyes.

I immediately clenched my fist, rage slowly penetrating in my heart.

Who did she think she was calling a motionless soul? My husband, perhaps? Her rudeness was off the charts, and while the urge to yank every strand of hair from her head surged within me, I found myself powerless. I was no longer Alicia Grey, I had transformed into Nana, just another nameless nurse among those girls who would give anything to step into my former life.

Taking a deep breath, I attempted to calm the rising tide of fury, shutting my eyes tight. But the moment I opened them, I heard my name being called.

“Nana, Nana! I bet you’re just over the moon to hear that your crush needs a nurse! Don’t worry, we’re stepping aside for you, darling. This is your moment to shine!” Sarah chimed in with a mocking grin, her eyebrows dancing mischievously.

Laughter erupted around me, the girls staring as if I were a sideshow attraction.

I could almost feel my tongue being yanked from my mouth—what was I supposed to say to that?

So, the infamous Nana had a serious crush on Ethan? How absurd! A wave of jealousy began to creep into my heart, slow and insidious.
