Romans & histoires Soulmate My Love My Best Friend

“Good. Now imagine that but on steroids. And crack. And more steroids. And maybe mixed with a fever dream no one asked for. That’s a mate.” I blinked. “So… a soulmate?” She shook her head. “No darling, soulmate is soft. Cute. Romantic. Mate is… violent destiny. Mate is permanent. Mate is stick-to-you-like-glue energy. Mate is ‘if you die, I die’ nonsense. Mate is a cosmic marriage contract signed with magical blood and no human consent form.” I stared at her. She stared back. “That sounds like kidnapping with extra toppings,” I said. “Welcome to the supernatural world,” she replied.

I didn't hesitate for a moment and pulled my best friend to me. I took her tender hand in mine and put my other hand on her back. She held my shoulder and smiled her best smile. Josie has become an important part of my life. The first person I could talk to about anything and confide in anything. There was just something about her that was so calming to me, I had no idea what exactly it was. In her presence, I could be " me " and not have to pretend. When I was with her, she made me feel like I was in the right place at the right time. She was sort of my soul mate.

I ask Matilda, smiling softly. Awww, is this true love? "I-i...I don't know." I stutter out. I quickly wore all my clothing on and sat on the floor thinking. What if he's our second chance soulmate? Matilda asks and shook my head in disbelief. "That can't be though. That's rare for any wolf to earn that." I explain. Which was all true in my world. Barely anyone can escape from their mates. Even if it's from force. I'm pretty sure we do, even after we have been through

Soulmates, two people perfect for each other destined to find each other in an imperfect world. “Do not take my mate from me.”

I loved Daemon. The slight look of disappointment crossed over his face. “I know that. I know you came here with the Demon Overlord. But soulmates are different from mates. Mates are two people destined to be life partners, sharing a committed bond. But soulmates are more complex than that. Being your soulmate means I am meant to be there for you; there will always be an urge in me to protect you. I could be anything you need me to be—your partner, your companion, your closest friend—anything."

I bite my lip and try to think of the perfect mate. "She is special if she puts up with you". Brian laughs and Liam joins him. My best friends are so immature. Smiling in satisfaction I lay my head back and think of my mate.

I was damaged…broken…and this magnificent man deserved so much more. 'A mate…is short for our soulmate. They are a wolf's one true love, their life…the reason for their being. Our soulmates complete us and once we find our mates, there will be no one for us but for that one person.' Alex's words from earlier came to my mind, about how he had told me that I was his soulmate. Sarah had later told me that the Moon Goddess chose soulmates for each and every wolf…a bond that is formed by the Goddess herself…then how could she have chosen me for him?

"Soulmates are those that we've known many lifetimes, have had many karmic contracts with, and with whom we have resolved conflicts. Marriage partners may or may not be soul mates, though they will be a soul contract. With true soul mates, there is no struggle. What's left is love. "– Karen M. Black

This is the feeling I've been missing all my life. I fall into a deep sleep, finally content with my life. A soulmate is the one person whose love is powerful enough to motivate you to meet your soul, to do the emotional work of self-discovery, of awakening.

The mate bond can do many things, but it’s not there to override our feelings and magically make us better or different people. That’s not what a soulmate is. A soulmate is half of who you are. Not who you could be or who they want you to be but who you are. “Rich coming from the man that didn’t stop me. That never once tried to get in touch with me. The man willing to throw away our friendship for a pack slut that only wanted a title.” Delilah pushed back.
