Remi's POV
My palms are sweating and my head is pounding. I haven't eaten in years? 
This whole thing is beyond my understanding. How was I asleep for six years? Why am I not dead? The last thing I remember are The Cleaners invading our pack. They wanted me dead. They killed slot of the pack members. How many people did they kill? I try to contact my wolf but I can't feel her. I wet my lips and run my fingers through my hair. This whole thing is messed up.
The road changes into a narrow dirt road. I sigh. The farther up I drive, the more scared I get. What will happen? As I'm driving, I notice  some wolves running next to the road, in the trees. They must have sensed me. Did they recognise my scent? I see a black huge gate ahead and slow down. There are two men standing by the gate dressed in black uniform. I stop the car and get off as one of them walks towards me. I rub my hands together and swallow.
"What do you seek on private property?" The asks.
He is tall and has a lot of muscle. His eyes are grey. I don't recognise him from Red Moon Pack. He must have joined the pack in the six years I've been MIA.
"Hi.....uhm.... I'm Remi. Ace's mate." I say nervously.
The man looks shocked. He looks at me from head to toe. He turns on his heels and says something to the other guard, who equally looks at me with a shocked expression. The one with grey eyes then walks back to me.
"The Alpha is on his way." He says and walks away.
I nod and look around nervously. I pace around. What's taking him so long to get here? After what feels like years, the heavy gates opens. I straighten and look up. My heart skips a bit when Ace walks out. His black hair is long. His in blue faded jeans and a white shirt with black working boots. Behind him is Mike and Josh. I cover my mouth as my eyes fill with tears.
Ace's eyes fall on me immediately. Instead of seeing joy and love, I see anger in his eyes. I frown. With superspeed Ace is in front of me. I stagger back.
"Ace......I-"
"Who the hell are you?" Ace growls. 
I frown. I try to touch him but he moves back. I try to hold back my tears.
"Ace ..... it's me.....I have so much to tell you. I ...-"
"Okay, lady, back off." Josh says.
"Guys, I just woke up yesterday. I had no idea-" my ranting stops when I catch my reflection in the car window. 
I gasp in shock. What the hell? My face is not  my face. I don't know who's face this is. My hair is shoulder length and red. My eyes are huge and grey- ish. My lips are round and form the perfect pout. What the hell? I have to find out what happened? I need to know who this body belongs to. I need to know how I got in this body and why.
I swallow and look at Ace, who looks at me like I'm crazy.
"I.....uh..... Sorry. I have to go?" I say. 
"Not so fast. No one impersonates my dead mate and gets away with it. Take her to the dungeons." Ace says.
My eyes widen in shock and fear.
"No. Ace, listen to me." I beg when I feel a pitch on my neck. 
I turn and see Mike holding up a syringe with an evil smirk on his face. My eyes roll back and darkness takes me over me.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I open my eyes slowly and groan in pain. My hands are tight above my head and my feet are barely touching the fall. There are pools of water on the floor and rats running around. I wiggle my hands and whine. Goddess, that is painful. How do I make sense of what happened to me? How do I find the truth? Who do I trust? Will Ace believe me? Or my parents?
As I'm deep in thought, the cell door opens and Josh walks in. He looks at me and sighs 
"Why are you pretending to be my Luna? Do you have any idea what we all went through when she died?" He asks. I swallow.
"I know this seems crazy but ...... I don't know what happened. I'm trying......."
I don't even know what to say. How do I tell them the truth if I don't even know what the truth is? I lick my lips and close my eyes. This is beyond my strength.
"Who do you work for? Someone must be hell bent on destroying Ace. Let's start with the simple stuff first. What is your name?" Josh asks. 
I shrug. I don't even know the girl's body  I inhabit. Does she have family looking for her? Boyfriend? The not knowing anything about everything is really getting to me. I want to scream and hit something. I look at Josh and sigh. I remember he was the one person who had faith in me. Who encouraged me to be the Luna I was meant to be. I can definitely trust him.
"Listen, I know you won't believe me but I have no idea who this body belongs to. I'm Remi. The last thing I remember I was running with Camille and Sophia. We were running from The Cleaners. And then they surrounded us. The had bows and arrows and they wanted me dead. I swear, I'm telling you the truth, Josh. I woke up yesterday in my cabin. But everything is gone. I looked for you guys but you weren't there. I found a town nearby and they told that some kind of cosmic phenomenon destroyed everything. I...... I don't know what's going on." I say. 
Just then the door bursts opens and Ace walks in.
"How did I mark you?" Ace asks.
"I was with mom. I was telling her that I couldn't be your Luna when you stormed in and marked me against my will." I say. Ace takes in a long breath.
He turns and looks at Josh. I sniff.
"I swear, I'm telling the truth. I swear. I don't know how I got in this body. I ...... I'm scared." I say and bursts out in tears.
Josh frowns. He takes a step back in shock.
"Remi.....? Ace.....her neck." Josh says. 
Ace looks at my neck and gasps. I takes a step closer to me and licks my neck , causing me to moan out loud. Ace moves back and quickly unshackled me. I fall but he grabs me easily and carries me out of the cell bridal style. I inhale his scent and close my eyes in contentment.
