Emily wakes up in a strange world, in the body of a woman she's never met-Lady Eleanor, the betrothed of Prince Alexander. The catch? Prince Alexander looks just like her own boyfriend, Alex. But Eleanor's life is far from a fairytale. After a failed suicide attempt, Eleanor is rescued by the very prince she was meant to marry, but ever since, she's been acting... strange. Emily, confused and desperate to return to her own life, is stuck navigating a world of royal drama, eccentric courtiers, and an undeniable attraction to the prince who is somehow both familiar and foreign. Torn between the possibility of staying in this bizarre new world or finding a way back home, Emily must figure out what's going on before she's trapped forever-and before her heart gets too tangled in the royal mess.

Chapter 1 Where am I

The push came out of nowhere. One moment, Emily felt the warmth of sunlight glinting off the waves; the next, cold water wrapped around her like a thousand heavy hands, pulling her down. Panic surged through her chest as she flailed, trying to kick to the surface. But her legs wouldn't move. She looked down, seeing a jagged stone gripping her ankle like a vise beneath the shifting waters.

Every instinct screamed at her to break free, but the stone was unyielding. Her lungs burned, her vision blurred, and she could feel the darkness pressing in on the edges of her mind. Just as her last bubble of air escaped, something-a shape-began cutting through the water toward her. Strong arms wrapped around her, pulling her upward.

Then everything went black.

A moment later, or maybe an eternity, Emily felt herself cradled on soft ground, a weightless sensation of warmth spreading over her as if the sun were drying her soaked body. Slowly, she opened her eyes, blinking away the haze. Above her was a face, one she knew as well as her own-Alex, her boyfriend. But... something was wrong.

"Alex..." she mumbled, her voice weak and shaky.

But Alex's face darkened, and his brows knitted into a stern expression she had never seen before. "I told you, don't call me that," he said, his voice oddly cold, yet somehow familiar. "My name is Alexander."

Emily's mind reeled. She tried to make sense of the world around her, and suddenly, she realized that the sky was not the vibrant blue she remembered, and the scent of the air was thicker, fragrant with spices and earth. She looked down at herself, feeling an unfamiliar fabric heavy on her skin-ornate, embroidered robes that seemed to shimmer in the light.

Her head spun. "What... what is going on?" she whispered, her voice sounding foreign even to her own ears. She looked at Alexander's face, searching for some sign of familiarity, some hint that would make sense of what was happening.

But all she found was a stranger's intensity in the eyes of the man she thought she knew. And as she tried to comprehend it all, the dizziness took over once more, and Emily felt herself falling back into darkness.

My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done. Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection. I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you." The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play. The alpha, beta, and gamma are swimming with some of the older children and playing a game of Marco Polo. Someone yells, "Oh my goddess, someone just jumped over the waterfall!" Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, "Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see. She is covered in scars and injuries. Her body is twisted and broken. The Beta asks, "Who could have done this to someone so defenseless?" Alpha drops to his knees, repeating, "MATE...MATE...MATE!"
