Chapter 2: Dream body

Kira's POV.

I had pale skin with red hair, but my hair was magically changed to brunette and my skin was tanned. I was so confused. How did my hair color and skin tone change in just one night?

The door opened again and the strange woman walked in accompanied by a doctor. I sat up immediately. I had a lot of questions to ask.

"What am I doing here?" my voice was tinier, more distinct from my normal voice. "How am I still alive?" 

"Miss Thomson relax" the middle-aged doctor smiled at me.

"Mirabel, Thomson, who the fuck are those people?" Immediately I said those words, the woman's eyes saddened.

"It's normal, Mrs. Rebecca." This time the doctor was speaking to the woman. "Her memories will be restored in no time "

"What memories?" I sat up. My head was on fire. None of them made any sense. "What the fuck are you talking about? Who are you people? I didn't lose my memories." Of course, I didn't, I still remembered everything. How I was maltreated in my pack, how I stormed out that night and had an accident. My name was Kira, not Mirabel. I occasionally kept reminding myself.

"Mirabel relax" Rebecca bent to my level to stroke my hair, but that only aggravated my anger.

"Who are you?" I asked more calmly this time.

"It's me, Rebecca, your mother," she spoke. My heart stopped for a moment. Anger surged through me once more. How dare they lie to me.

"You are not my mother" I turned to the doctor. "Get all this off me" I was talking about the drip fixed in my arm and the oxygen mask I was screaming into. "I want to go home" 

"Yes, you will go home right after the doctor says you are fit to leave. You have been asleep for a very long time"

"Wait, how long have I been asleep?" 

"2 years Mirabel" Rebecca, my supposed mother said and my mouth dropped.

I was certain it was all a lie until I looked at myself in the mirror. I was completely different. I was no longer Kira. I was another person entirely. Prettier, hotter, everything I had always wanted in a body. But I was confused, so confused. The previous night I had been Kira, but that morning I was transformed into this Mysterious Mirabel who had been in a coma for two years. I had a mother, a father, and a sister too who were filthy rich, but that wasn't me. I was the ugly, nerdy girl that nobody wanted.

Then I thought of him and my heart skipped a beat. I was completely different now. How would he recognize me? Hours ago, I had repeatedly called my wolf; Katrina, but she gave me no response. I had lost her too. There was no way his wolf would recognize me as his mate because I no longer had a wolf. Even my witch powers were all gone. I was just a regular, weak human girl.

I was discharged from the hospital because I couldn't stand the hospital smell. I had always hated it.  I was also fit enough to walk or even run. Rebecca took me home. She tried to speak with me, but I wasn't in my right mind to have any conversation. All I could think of was how possible the scenario was. I needed to speak to Austin. Maybe if I told him what happened, I would be able to convince him and he might accept me as his mate.

We stopped at a house. One look at the mansion and my mouth dropped. It was too exquisite and Luxurious to be real. I looked at Rebecca who had an evident smile throughout the ride.

"You live here?"

"Yes, and you have lived here all your life"

That was strange. I didn't remember ever being to this place. I knew for a fact that I was still in Los Angeles which was to my advantage. It would make it easier to trace my pack house and Austin, then I will ditch my new strange family.

"Your father is out on a business trip, but I told him that you have finally woken up. He is so happy and will be back as soon as possible" she said whilst we walked through the boulevard to the main house.

"And your sister Madison is in Chicago. She recently got married last year while you were at the hospital. I remember how you had always wanted to be her bridesmaid, but you couldn't" her eyes saddened.

"Wait" I stopped walking and she halted too

"How did I get into a coma? "

"You were driving home from a party and you had an accident. You lost consciousness afterward"

"How old am I?". 

"You are 18 Mirabel"

So technically, my old self of 21 years was shipped into the body of an Eighteen years old. How insane. It was completely mind-blowing.

"Let's go in, Mirabel. With time, your memories will come back, that's what the doctor said"

We went inside the house. Bodyguards were standing at the door, guarding the main entrance. Even while we walked, I didn't fail to notice men in black littered around the house. It made me wonder how rich these people were.

The main house was even more spectacular on the inside than on the outside. I couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of the house. I could even smell the wealth from where I stood.

"Miss Mirabel" a chubby woman dressed in an apron shouted my name from upstairs as she ran to where I was.

"Oh yes and this is Mrs. Davies. The house caretaker. You used to be very fond of her"

"Oh," I said in awkwardness as I waved my hands. "Hi" 

"God gracious God. I missed you" she had genuine happiness as she hugged me.

I had no choice but to hug her back.

"Alright, that's enough Fay. Come, Mirabel. Let me show you to your room" 

I followed her and we went upstairs. My room was lovely, way better than any I had ever had. Some pictures of the new me hung on the wall and I couldn't help but stand and admire them. I was really pretty. No Mirabel was very pretty, but not Kira. During my absence, the room was cleaned every day because Rebecca, my new mother, had a strong feeling that Mirabel was coming back. How would she feel if I told her I wasn't her daughter, but a loser who just happened to be in this perfect body? I couldn't hurt her feelings like that.

"About school. You will be enrolled for college the moment you get back on your feet"

"I am on my feet"

"The doctor said you should rest a bit before you finally restart your life. You are still a bit confused now"

"What college?" I tore my eyes from the framed picture on the wall and looked at her.

"I don't know yet. You just woke up, but I have been thinking of Jex's university"

My eyes widened in disbelief. That was the best school in the whole USA. Everybody's a dream school, but unfortunately, I didn't want to go there. I needed to reunite with my mate

"Can I go to Starhill instead" 

She was taken aback. It was obvious she didn't want her daughter to attend such a regular university, but that was my only option.

"But why darling?" 

"I uh...." I couldn't tell her about my past life yet. I needed to figure the whole thing out first. "I've always wanted to go to that university"

"But honey, you can't "

 I didn't let her finish "please" I hesitated. "Mum" 

With the way her eyes lit up, it was obvious she was happy. I had finally called her mother after days of denial.

"Okay then I will make arrangements and you will start next week"

"No, I want to start tomorrow"

"Are you sure about that?"

"Yes very sure"

"Ok then, tomorrow it is"

My heart leaped for joy. I would get to see my mate. Maybe we could both figure out a way to get back to my old body. But what if he doesn't believe me?.....
