There was an alarm ringing in my head.
It was so loud, aggressively thrashing against my already sore brain. However, it wasn‘t until I turned towards the source and opened my eyes that I realised it was an alarm clock. An alarm clock I hadn‘t seen in years.
I instantly sat upright in bed and took in my surroundings. This was the bedroom of my family home, the bedroom I had lived in up until my coming of age. Everything looked exactly the same. Was it all a dream? Had I really died?
I jumped out of bed, running towards my mirror, and instantly, I could feel the difference when I moved. I was shorter, lighter. My limbs didn‘t feel as muscled.
...And I felt strange. Like something was missing.
As I looked at my reflection, I quickly realised that I was young. Very much so. My cheeks were plumper and my eyes rounder. The stress lines I‘d accumulated over my years of mistreatment were completely gone. I looked almost… pretty. Had I ever thought that before? I‘d been so focused on changing myself to suit Aleric that I‘d never noticed.
But that‘s when I realised what was missing.
My wolf.
I remembered the feeling of companionship one felt after a coming of age. The feeling of something else inside you with their own emotions and needs. This body had never felt that before. In fact, it had never felt much of anything, not even heartache. She hadn‘t yet fallen prey to the mate bond.
But she was me now, and I was her. A twenty four year old trapped inside the body of a small girl.
As I looked to the left, where I used to keep my daily calendar, I finally saw the date… and my stomach instantly dropped.
I was fourteen.
The Goddess had sent me back ten years. What was so entwined with my future that sending me back this far in time was necessary?
“Aria!” a voice then suddenly called from downstairs.
And memories of Sophie flashed in my mind, making me shiver. How many times had she called for me like that? But, no, that was impossible. I hadn‘t met Sophie yet.
I frowned for another few moments, trying to place the voice, but then it finally hit me. I realised who it was.
