As we continued through the castle, I couldn't help but ask, " Merilla, what exactly is a spirit animal for?" Merilla stopped walking and turned to me, her expression softening. " A spirit animal is a gift from the Moon Goddess," she explained. " When a person is born with elemental powers, the Goddess gives them a lifelong partner—a spirit animal—to guide them on the right path." I listened carefully, intrigued by what she was saying." Your spirit animal grows with you," Merilla continued. " As your elemental powers evolve, so does your spirit animal. It will change into a new form, one that reflects who you are at that point in your life. It’s not just a companion; it’s a part of you, an extension of your soul.” " So... does that mean you’ll change too?" I asked, trying to wrap my head around the idea. " Yes," Merilla said with a nod. " As you grow stronger, I’ll change as well. My form will evolve to match your power and personality." We continued the tour,

The room felt smaller, the walls closing in on me as the reality of the situation settled in. I wasn’t just Meara from the farm anymore. I was something more, something I didn’t fully understand. Kaden’s voice softened as he continued, “ We are mates, little one. You will become queen of the elemental kingdoms. You’re still new to this world, and I won’t rush you. But you need to know that this bond is powerful, and it will only grow stronger as time goes on.” I nodded slowly, feeling overwhelmed and out of breath. “ I need time to process all of this,” I admitted. “ Of course,” Kaden replied, his voice gentle. “ Take all the time you need. But don’t take too long though.” What did it mean to be mated to the Elemental King? What would happen next? The grand hall was overwhelming. The high ceilings seemed to press down on me as if the weight of everything I’d just learned was too much to bear. The men who had stood before me moments ago, their hands all so different, had

“ Ever since I arrived here, I have been treated unfairly by you and your men! I have been accused of trying to steal. I have been locked in the dungeon without food or anything to drink, and then manhandled by you afterwards, and might I remind you about the kiss you gave me while I was asleep. Here I am, tired from walking for God knows how long, to a secret magical kingdom, and decide to take a little nap, only to be awakened by a stranger kissing me.Here I am with people who have magical elemental powers, only to discover that I am also one of them with these strange cold fire powers that I never even knew I had. And also, was I locked up again by you in your personal sleeping chambers. Maybe if you showed me just a bit of decency since I have arrived, I would not have wanted to leave or think the worst of you!” I listened intently as she poured her heart out in frustration. Maybe she was right, maybe I was unfair to her. I would have probably felt the same way if I were

Last night, I didn’t have much strength for arguing anymore. Kaden told me to get ready for bed, and for once I listened and did as I was told. The large bathroom was larger than my own bathroom back home. I think it is even bigger then the kitchen and living room combined. The bath was big and had many different oils and soaps to choose from. Sitting there all night looked like a good idea, but the emotional rollercoaster I was on just made me to get into bed. I was way too tired to start an argument. I put on a white silky gown my two servants left for me, and when I got the bed, Kaden was already in bed with no shirt on, reading some paper in his hand with one hand behind his neck, which showed the stretching of his muscles. He was definitely not build like the other men I have seen so far. His skin was tanned with scars all over his body. I gulped and kept my eyes to the ground as I hopped into the bed. There was a massive stack of pillows on the floor next to me. I pulled the

" I am not royalty," I corrected with a smile. " But you will be soon, my Little One," Kaden added. " Best you try and get used to the idea," Kaden said casually, placing a napkin on his lap as everyone stared at me. To divert their attention, I told them to dig in. Without hesitation, they all filled their plates, even Kaden. " Deon, I want you to go to the Archives with her, Majesty," he said, his tone cold. "And pull the records of all the elementals who had a baby just over twenty years ago." I wanted to correct him, saying that I am only twenty years old now, but I stayed silent, swallowing hard on my piece of bread, remembering what he said last night about my age showing. Merilla also mentioned something about him being older than he looked, so I didn’t want to appear young and naive in his eyes. In my head, there was a constant tug-of-war between wanting to leave and returning home, and this small part of me wanted to stay and find out about my real parents, who they w
