A loud howl woke Kira up, her eyes widened in shock as she wondered what the sound was but everything that happened began spiraling in her head.
It made her sit up from the bed in shock, her eyes settling on the small room she was in. The walls were painted white, there were weird white and black medical posters and some kind of equipment around. There was a chandelier above her, and carpeted floors, and behind her was the window with white curtains swaying back and forth due to the wind coming in.She began hearing the audible voices of a man and a woman."You're sure she's fine? She literally died, doctor. You announced it yourself." It was the voice of the man who called her princess."I checked her vitals, blood pressure, her heart rate..., it's all good, Alpha Mey. It's a miracle that she's alive." The woman's voice was also familiar. She was the first voice she heard when she woke up.Kira ran her hand through her hair, not understanding an inkling of what was happening. She was in a foreign territory.She looked around. A place she's gonna have to escape from, ASAP.Her gaze suddenly met an unfamiliar face. Beautiful cat-shaped hazel eyes, a small oval-shaped face, long black hair, full eyebrows, and a very innocent, cute face.She tilted her head and it followed, tilted her head again to the other side and it followed again. She placed her hand on her face and it reflected. Her mouth opened in shock as it confirmed it was really how she looks now.She was in someone else's body. The body of a princess who's younger than her. A princess who looked to be in her late teen or early twenties.What really happened to her?She knew she was dropped into the ocean and she literally saw her life dissipating only to wake up in another life in another person's body.She shook her head, not sure she could handle it. She couldn't. She needs to escape. Maybe when she drowns herself again, then she can wake up in her world. That could work.Although, she'll just end up dead cause she literally died.She died and the princess did too.She looked up as the door opened, causing her to shift back, the wall becoming a barrier."I don't know why you'd do this to yourself, Kara. You scared everyone."Kira just bobbed her head, looking at him since she had no idea who he was.'He's your father.' She heard making her look around in confusion, wondering where the voice came from.She blinked with a frown."Are you okay, Kara?" Her father asked worriedly.Kira looked at him and sighed. "Well, I uh, I think so." She told him, deciding to play along.Her father nodded and sat on the bed facing her. "I know how overwhelming things are for you but you didn't have to do what you did, Kara. Killing yourself wasn't necessary."Kira just kept quiet. Although, she wondered why the princess would kill herself."I know getting married to King Alpha Arthur Vermont...""What?" Kira blurted out. Not sure she heard well."Your marriage to Alpha Arthur Vermont." He pointed out."I'm getting married to someone?" She questioned in disbelief.'Yes, you are.' A voice sounded in her head again making her frown.Her father sighed, looking at her worried. "Please, don't tell me you forgot about that or you're probably just pretending. And besides, you never once told me you were against the marriage."Kira kept a frown on her face since the confusion in her was difficult to hide. Her head was spiraling. She hasn't even come to terms with how she became what she is but she's hearing she's getting married? No fucking way."The doctor said you'll get better. I was informed about King Vermont's arrival today, I don't know if he has an idea of what you did. I'm sorry but getting married to him is essential for our kingdom. Do you understand?"Kira gave him a blank look, her mouth set in a hard line, refusing to nod or pretend that she was okay with whatever he was spouting.She's definitely escaping....Catherine was already home and in her room, laying on her bed and daydreaming about King Vermont. Those beautiful indigo eyes, long hair that she wished to have the right to rake her hands through, his body structure, broad shoulders, muscles, pecs, everything about him, she wanted it.She rejected her poor mate because of him.He was every princess's dream and in a way, due to the connection Mey kingdom has with the Vermonts, they were lucky that one of them could be given to him for marriage but sadly, he chose Kara.Now that Kara is dead, he'll have no choice but to choose her to take Kara's place.She couldn't wait for when they'll officially get married. She's beginning to feel like the happiest person in the whole world.A knock sounded on her door causing her to look away from her ceiling at the door. "Come in." She hollered and her personal maid, Davina walked inside, her two hands clasped in front of her, her head ducked as she took slow steps to her princess. "You're back, mistress."Catherine nodded, sitting up. "Why? Did anyone look for me?"She heard her wolf, Kat chuckle. 'Look for you? Who would when they're all just gonna be focused on the fact that Kara's dead.'Davina nodded. "The Alpha asked at a time, I lied saying you were at the riverside."Catherine equally nodded. "Well good. So what's going on? I guess I'm gonna have to see what's going on with my sister now that she's dead."Davina sighed and shook her head. "Actually, she's not dead."Catherine rose a brow, a chuckle escaping her. "What?""She's alive, my lady. She suddenly woke up last night not too long after you left for the journey. She spent the whole night in the infirmary. She's awake now and will soon be taken to her room." Davina disclosed.Catherine could only gape at the news. "That's...that's impossible. She was dead. Lifeless. Saw it myself. How is she alive?"Davina shook her head. "No one knows, mistress. It was a shock when she woke up. A miracle some said."Catherine looked away in deep thought, her eyes widened in wonder. She blinked with a frown and stood up from the bed wanting to see for herself, then she paused and turned back toward her bed, remembering something. A wave of uneasiness engulfed her in one fell swoop.She sat on her bed, her heart beginning to pound in her chest. "So...so, you're saying she's alive?" She kept saying the word, finding it totally unbelievable.Davina nodded. "Yes, my lady.""Did she...did she say anything? Can she talk?" Catherine interrogated.Davina raised her eyeballs to catch a glance at her princess but she couldn't really see since her head was still ducked. "Yes she can but I don't know if she said anything."Catherine let out a shaky breath, beginning to get very dizzy. "O...okay. You can leave." She dismissed.Davina bobbed her head slowly, turned, and left the room.Catherine blinked, looking away at nothing in particular. "What's happening?"'No idea, Cat. We both saw her dead.'Catherine shook her head. 'Not good, Kat. This is bad. I won't be able to get him anymore. If he comes, he'll see she's still alive and proceed to marry her.''Very sad, Cat. Very very sad." Her wolf said and went to relax at the back of her head.Catherine groaned in frustration and collapsed on the bed.Kira looked around the big designated room she was taken to, a sharp scent of lavender overpowered her senses, putting a small smile on her face which immediately left as she looked around the room.It looked girly and she hated anything girly. Although it was beautiful.The walls were covered in brown, flowery wallpaper, containing beautiful painted portraits that were hung.Some of it was a white big wolf, some were her pictures, and some were just random. It was obvious it happened to be a talent of the princess.The bed wasn't modernized but it did look comfy with thick white and brown cases and the two huge cushions and throw pillows covered in floral-designed chestnut cases and beside it were bedside tables and beaded lampshades on the tables.It was a square, well-designed room.Her window has lush silk and heavy fabric with a rich, deep red and golden design color, draped by golden tassels and tiebacks.By her right where she stood was the dressing table and gold-framed mirror
A maidservant ran out of the house into the garden where she knew she'd find the king. "THE PRINCESS IS MISSING!!!" The girl yelled, earning everyone's attention.The king looked away from the man he was talking to and at the maidservant running toward him. She stopped in front of the king, breathing heavily. "Alpha, um...""Speak out!!" The king yelled at her.The girl swallowed, trying to catch her breath. "It's...it's the princess. The princess. She's nowhere in her room. I've searched but I can't find her."The Alpha's eyes widened and he looked around in fear, mentally hitting himself for not expecting it. It's as if he knew nothing about his daughter anymore. "Everyone, go find her right now! Find her and bring her back here! How did she escape?!" The king yelled, not liking the news.Catherine came out of the back of the mansion upon hearing the turmoil. She looked at Davina who was carrying her tray of fruits. "What's happening?""The princess is missing," Davina told her, ann
Kira gasped in shock as her corset was tightened further. Her face was contorted and her breathing seized as they dragged it once again. "God, damn it!" She snapped, causing the maidservant to pause."Uh?" The maidservant voiced out in confusion.Kira was finding it hard to breathe freely and she was feeling hot everywhere. "Geez. Is this…is this necessary?"The maidservant was confused. "My lady, you know that it's necessary. Besides, you need to look beautiful for your husband-to-be." She said and Kira could feel the smile in her voice.Kira scoffed and turned to look at her. "And who the hell are you? What's your name?" She asked, seeing as the girl seemed free toward her, especially for an ordinary maid.'She's your personal maid, Aryann. Also a good friend to Kara.' Cara disclosed.Aryann was shocked at the question and her eyes watery. "Are you…are you saying you don't remember me?"Kira blinked at her sudden transition and she answered since she hated anything awkward. "Don't m
Kira smirked as she found a new will to perform. If she arrived in the nineteenth century by falling into a big river, then she could go back by falling into the lake just like the princess.Why the hell did she even try to commit suicide? What sort of stupidity is that? So unbelievable. If she hadn't committed suicide then she wouldn't have been here.'I think there could be a valid reason, Kira. Nothing happens without one.'Kira laughed. "Oh, look at the voice in my head. Feeling so smart. I guess you were probably the one who advised her to kill herself.''Don't get me wrong, Kira. Just think about it. You being here is abnormal enough except there has to be a purpose behind it.'"What stupid purpose, voice? Please stop acting so smart and let me think. I can't think with you disturbing my head..."The door to her room opened and her personal maid, Aryann entered with a big bowl of hot water. She looked around in confusion. "Uh, my lady, where you speaking to someone?"Kira looked
Kira sat still as she let the maids take care of her hair and face. Her stomach churned and her heartbeat increased with each passing second. She kept trying hard not to give in to the panic and anxiety threatening to hit her but it seems inevitable.She wasn't even scared of death but look at her shaking at the thought of getting married. 'No, it's not me.''It's you.' Cara countered.'It's not me.' Kira retorted.'It's you.' Cara argued.'No, it's not! I don't get scared this way. This is probably one of the perks of being in a body as fragile as this.' Kira countered.'Just admit it, Kira. You're scared.'Kira gritted her teeth in annoyance and saw that her makeup was fully done and her hair beautifully packed and endowed with hair pins. The princess is truly a beaut.Soon, the maid left and Aryann with a middle-aged woman dressed in royalty came into the room with her wedding dress and jewelry. She frowned at the crinoline Aryann was holding and she blinked after realizing once ag
Coming to the conclusion that it was now or never, Kara took in a deep breath and slowly began walking into the hall. Every step she took was followed by a painful heartbeat. She feared that her heart might burst out of her chest at the rate at which it was beating.She tried not to look at anyone even though she could feel all eyes on her. It was all weird. Being among strangers. It made her feel like she was all alone in the world.It's probably her punishment for every sin she committed in the past.George smiled at her as she got to him and then she was led to a seat. She was beginning to wish Aryann was beside her. She hated how she felt vulnerable. Everyone expected something from her and she hated it. She could only bow her head and keep thinking about her life. About how she could survive this marriage and plan her way out of the place.She was so lost in thoughts that everything around her went blank. A tap on her shoulder made her look up and distractedly utter, “Huh?“It wa
'Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you.'Seeing his hand wrapped around hers, Kara raised her head up to look up at him. The height difference almost caused her tiara to fall off her head, so she quickly broke free of his hold to fix it.“What are you doing?“ She heard a question. It was from a female voice who looked young.“Fixing… this thi…thing on my…head.“ She replied, getting annoyed at the fact that it refused to stay.“You were supposed to talk about your virtue.“ Kars heard again causing her to look at the girl talking. She looked at the teenage girl sitting on the chair besides where King Vermont was sitting.She almost did a double-take as she saw how stunning the girl was. She was dressed like a princess and had some resemblance to King Vermont.Then she remembered what the girl said, annoyed that all the confused faces around her were still waiting for her to recite her virtues.What the hell does virtuous recitation mean?God, the middle ages were damn weird!So, she stutter
“Now the princess will entertain the guests and her husband with a special performance!“ She heard Madame Sharon announce.WHAT THE WHA?!!!What did she just hear?Entertain her husband and the guests?! Special performance? She turned to look at Aryann who was giving her a worried look and then she blinked as she wondered what to do.She was going to ask what entertainment meant but she figured out that it should be the same everywhere. And since the was the one performing, she can do whatever she wants to do.Her mouth curled up in a smirk and she began tapping her feet. She looked at Arthur with a pleased expression and announced, “Give me a beat.“ Then she looked away, while everyone looked at her in confusion as they pondered on why she was asking for a beat all of a sudden.“Why do you need a beat?“ The king asked in a quiet voice while shifting uncomfortably in his seat. Was his daughter deliberately trying to ruin the wedding so King Vermont wouldn't have to marry her? Why is th
