Chapter 4: I had to be relentless

"Wait" I shouted and he halted.

There was no way I could give him up without a fight. 

"What?" he turned to look at me with an annoyed look on his face.

I walked towards him with a forced smile on my face. "I know all of this is crazy, but..."

"Well yes, it is," he snapped at me impatiently.

I swallowed hard. "Give me a minute, just one minute" I begged 

He sighed in frustration, looking around to see if we were drawing any attention. "What do you have to say?" 

"Thank you" I breathed a sigh of relief with a quick smile on my face. "You met Kira when you were 19. You loved her and she loved you too. I'm Kira but in a different body. I got into an accident and I woke up like this" I paused to catch my breath because I was talking too fast. "I promise I'm not bluffing and I'm not crazy. It's true" 

"What nonsense" he scoffed, looking at me like I had lost my mind.

"Kira is your mate Austin" 

The moment I said that, he was stunned. He grabbed me by my hand and started dragging me to God knows where. I didn't try to stop him. I let him take me anywhere he wanted to. We got to a more secluded place and he released my hands. 

I was about to speak again, but he pinned me against the wall so quickly, even faster than my breath. I wasn't sure if he was angry or confused, but his eyes held something. For the first time, I felt scared of my mate

"What do you know about mates?" he spoke in my face, not caring if I was scared at all.

A mating bond was something only werewolves knew about. He was surely surprised to hear it from a crazy human girl.

"A lot," I said, looking him dead in the eye even though I was scared.

"I know about the red moon pack, I know Alpha Stanley. I know his mate Yvonne, I know you got your wolf at 19 instead of 18. I know you are the omega of your pack. Why can't you just believe me Austin?"

He was too baffled to speak. He got away from me, still looking at me in disbelief. He parted his lips but shut them back. He didn't know what to say.

"Who are you?" He asked with narrowed eyes. 

"Kira," I said, praying inwardly that he remembered me.

"I don't know Kira. I've never met Kira in my life. I asked who are you?"

Tears welled up in my eyes, but I blinked rapidly to prevent them from falling. My heart shattered. He didn't remember me. There was no way he could remember someone who doesn't exist. It was impossible.

"I am Mirabel" I mouthed with a broken heart. I was trapped in this body and I had no idea how to go back to my other body. It was best if I began to accept my fate that I was now Mirabel and Kira doesn't exist.

"Now listen, Mirabel, I don't want to see you anywhere close to me. I don't want to set my eyes on you. If I do, it will be bad for the both of us" he warned gruffly then bent to pick up the bag he earlier tossed to the floor and turned to leave.

"But I was right, wasn't, " I asked, but he didn't give me a response.

The moment he left, I slipped to the floor. My eyes became wet with tears. This time I didn't blink them back. I let them flow down my Cheek. "Katrina" I called out to my wolf, but as I expected, no reply. That didn't stop me. "I'm scared. So scared. Please come back to me. I don't understand what is going on. I am so confused" I wept, talking to Katrina who chose to stay silent.

"How on earth is it even possible to do all that homework in just one night? I can't believe that man" Christine complained in a pissed tone. "I wasn't even done with my project and he just dumped this on me. It's just so... " She turned to look at me, who walked beside her with my mind somewhere else. "God Mirabel are you even listening?"

"What?" I turned to look at her, confused.

"You weren't listening" 

"Oh," I mumbled. "I'm sorry about that" 

"What are you thinking about anyway?"

I didn't answer her. Instead, my face lit up when an idea came to me. "Christine can you come with me? I have to be somewhere"

"Did you not hear that I have tons of homeworks to do?"

"Come on, I swear it won't take much of your time"

Since I couldn't get what I wanted from Austin, the only option I had left was to go to the pack house and tell Alpha Stanley what happened. There was no way he wouldn't remember me since he was the one who sent me out of the pack that night and he was an Alpha, so it was possible that this strong spell that seemed to be on everybody might not be on him.
