All Chapters of Mated Destinies: Light and Fire: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Come, Elara, come,” a woman dressed in white, her robe shining like stars, called out to me. I was curious so I followedher. I was so captivated by her beauty, elegance, and grace. As I followed, I found myself beneath a sky that sparkled like silver fire."Where am I? "Who are you?" My voice was shaking with terror as I asked.She remained silent. Rather, she moved in closer and stroked my hair. I felt like I had known her my entire life, so I didn't flinch.Then she moved close to me and said softly but firmly in a whisper,"The light rests inside of you." Follow the fire when it beckons.I stood confused, surprised by what she had said. She caressed my cheek again and gave me a dejected smile."Take care my child," she whispered.Suddenly, a thick, silvery fog rose from the ground. It lifted her off her feet, curling around her like a living creature."Hold on—!" I cried out as I reached through the fog, but all I could grasp was cold mist. "Who are you? Who is Light? "Who is Fir

ELARA’S POV:I woke up to find myself in a strange but familiar environment. The air was warm, with a subtle aroma of pine and smoke. I blinked, trying to regain consciousness, but everything around me shimmered like a dream.The room was enormous, far too large to be called a room. It looked like something out of a storybook: a huge hall made from stone and wood. The ceilings were so high that I couldn't see the end, painted with silver patterns and images of wolves running under a full moon. The sun rays came in through large windows. I sat up slowly, my heart pounding. The bed was incredibly soft, covered in nice linens and velvet. The room felt very luxurious, with big wooden pillars and bigbright lanterns on the walls."Where… am I?" I whispered.There was no response. Only an echo of my voice that back to me.A huge fireplace with flickering flames lit one end of the room. Wolf heads decorated the walls like they were carvings, but their eyes seemed to glow in the dark. The room

By sunset, I couldn't stay in my room any longer. The silence was making me nervous, so when the maid said I could step out for some air, I went right away.At first, I thought I was seeing people. But then, one man turned, and his eyes glowed with a bright, golden light that didn't seem human. A woman laughed, and when she smiled, I saw her sharp, pointy teeth. It really was so frightening.They weren’t just people.They were wolves.A cold shiver ran down my spine. My legs felt heavy as I tried to run. The low growls, the soft whispers seemed too loud in my ears. I pressed my back against the wall, my heart beating so hard it almost hurt. Someone whispered nearby, “That’s her… the girl he brought in.”Another voice replied, “They say she’s his mate.”Mate? Alpha? Wolves? None of it made sense. I tried to take a step back, my fingers trembled and my body was shaking terribly. I’d never been so afraid, not even when I faced that rogue wolf in the forest.Before I could take a step

ELARA POV:I sat there shocked and taken aback by what I just saw and heard. But then my mind became aware of my surroundings, the room, Aiden’s room, the Alpha’s room. It felt so unreal. I looked around, like trying to let the whole atmosphere sink in. His room was wide and utterly majestic -the walls were dark, smooth and held quite a shine. On one side, there was a huge painting of a wolf standing on a cliff, its eyes glowed as he howled. Another corner had carved wolf symbols, giving the room an ancient touch. There was a huge chandelier which was hung in the center of the room. It looked like it was made out of black metal and twisted branches, beautiful! The bed was huge, wide, high and sturdy. The sheets were deep black with sliver lines which looked soft and rich like there were made for someone who ruled, someone feared. The carpets were thick and soft and a part of my mind had me thinking if it was made out of wolf’s skin.The air smelled clean and cold, they smelled of him.

ELARA’S POV:Morning light warmed my eyelids before I opened them. I didn’t even need to look to know Aiden was still beside me. His scent, his heat, it wrapped around me so tightly. My mind was anything except calm.While still engulfed in my thoughts, Elder Rowan’s sudden entrance sent a shock through me. I jolted up almost instantly at the sound of his voice.Aiden sat up immediately.“Aiden,” Elder Rowan’s voice came from the doorway, firm and urgent. Aiden tried to speak but was cut off. “Come outside now.” He said with a thunderous tone.Aiden glanced at me. “It’s okay…I will be back.” He said, giving me a quick, reassuring look. He got on his feet and followed Elder Rowan out.The moment the door closed behind them, my stomach tightened. Questions ran through my head.Was I not supposed to be here?Did I not belong here?Were they regretting bringing me here?Minutes passed…or maybe more. I couldn’t tell.I waited, sitting on the bed, trying to calm my racing heart.Finally,
