Soulmate By Areej Shah Novels & Stories

Elsie's shoulders dropped slightly as if some of the tension in her body evaporated. "Yeah, there are. Do you want to properly meet my mate?" Shirley beamed brightly. "Mate?" I kept hearing this word thrown around, but no one had told me what it meant. "Yeah, my mate. Uh, I am sure Carl might be able to explain it to you in better terms, but I'll try." Shirley screwed her eyes up towards the ceiling as she spoke. "So humans sometimes refer to someone as their soulmate. Well, each werewolf has an actual soulmate that has been selected for us by the Moon Goddess, Selene. Our mates are the other halves of our souls. They complete us. We have a special bond because we are mates."

We invited the elders of Blood Moon Pack to witness it and announced that we were about to complete the mate ceremony. I would become his Luna. Someone gossiped that with omega blood, I wasn’t worthy of an Alpha. He turned around and crushed the company that person ran on Blood Moon territory, then made him kneel in front of me and apologize. I believed, completely, that Adrian truly loved me. Not because of status. Not because of fate. Until one day at the racetrack, he took me to support a friend, only for us to see a girl in revealing clothes, crying so hard. People shoved her to the finish line, where she stood there as the winner’s “trophy.”

"Sounds absolutely delightful." An hour later, I found myself at the outdoor skating rink with Maia's entourage. There were three women and one man, all looking like they'd stepped out of some luxury lifestyle magazine. The women introduced themselves as Sophia, a brunette with designer everything who kept checking her phone; Rachel, a redhead who spoke with a slight Southern accent and seemed genuinely nice; and Carmen, a dark-haired woman who looked like she could bench press a small car. The lone guy was named Blake - tall, quiet, and handsome in that understated way that usually meant trouble.

That's exactly why we don't dare act recklessly. "Since the Royal Astrologer claims the princess's destined soulmate is among us, then surely there must be some special connection between them. "So... would it be possible to allow me to see Her Highness in person?" The Royal Chamberlain frowned slightly, clearly losing patience already. I hurriedly continued, "Perhaps the moment we see the princess, some kind of destined connection will reveal itself and show us who truly deserves this blessing. "Otherwise, if we choose the wrong person and offend Her Highness, then we would truly deserve death."

She does smell the way you'd expect your mate to smell, but Maverik hasn't claimed her," Cruz explained, further confusing me. "Mate?" I tilted my head to the side, accidentally grazing Dane's shoulder in the process. Although he had let me go, he still remained within my personal space. "It's like what you humans call a soulmate, only so much more. A mate is the other half of your soul, a gift bestowed upon you by the goddess Selene. When we find our mate, they consume our entire being. It's a bond unlike any other, but you wouldn't understand that," Cruz explained, reverting back to his cold and assertive self. "Why are you here?" he directed his question at Amaya.

A good thing, "Your time apart hurt your bond, it stretched it out until it almost breaks and I can only imagine how painful that was for both of you. Soul pain is not for the weak." I share a look with Farrow and we both move at the same time to hold hands. Yeah, that was incredibly painful. We almost break our chosen bond... no, I almost break it. With my resentment. With my unavailability to forgive. "So, uhm, we both chose to be each other's mate?" Farrow asks just to be sure. The healer nods, "We decided we wanted each other even if the Moon Goddess didn't bring us together? And this is permanent, right? That's what you said? So if I mark her... that's..."

"We understand that you have some questions for us. And we're more than willing to answer them for you. So whatever you want to ask, whatever you want to know, you can ask us." "R-Really?" She ask. "Of course, kitten." I answered, reaching over with a napkin to wipe her face. "We would never lie to you." She set her plate down, waiting until I was finished wiping her face to start asking her questions. "W-What's a mate?" "A mate is short for soulmate. Something everyone has but not everyone can find there's. It's especially hard for humans to find their mates." Aries began to explain, "You are our mate. You were made for us like we were made for you."

She’d been trying to hold herself together for weeks, but now Estée was here to comfort her, and she wasn't able to bear it any longer. "I found my soulmate, Estée.” Estée had never heard about Ayla having a soulmark, but it wasn’t strange since it was a very private matter that most of the time only concerned the two involved parties until the moment of the first encounter. “Soulmate?” You have a soulmate?!” Estée asked excitedly, but the smile in her face quickly disappeared, realizing that Ayla’s current mood didn’t match what should definitely be a blessing to be celebrated. " Aren't those good news?"

I sighed. “What does that even mean? Those two boys you sent as her guards have explained what mates are. But I want to hear it from you,” he questioned, folding his arms. “Mates is just short for soulmates. Even humans understand what a soulmate is. Aurelia is my soulmate. She is the only person that can ever and will ever complete me and vice versa. No other woman will ever compare to her,” I explained.

The title said True Soulmates, True Mates with some text underneath that I scanned over to to start reading about this whole corny soulmate talk. True mates is another term for Soulmates - a person who is perfectly suited to another in temperament - within the bonding terms between a human and wolf-form. They are said to be limited to one every hundreds of years, needing approval of diagnosis within the patriarch. The Moon Goddess chooses those to be known as "true mates" due to their fusion of personality traits, choice of beliefs, and mental outlook. Those in a true mate relationship will have the abilities of more powerful communication within the brain, higher chemical release of st*** e
