Silent Whispers Chapter 12
" Careful there now, little one. I wouldn't want you to get hurt now," he said casually, his hands behind his back like nothing had happened. " Mate," Merilla called out in my mind, startling me further. My gaze darted to her, but before I could react, something even more terrifying appeared from behind the same corner. It was huge, far bigger than a bear, and looked almost like a black lion, but more... menacing. " W—what is that thing?" I stuttered, my voice barely coming out as I slowly backed away from Kaden, my heart racing. " Oh, this?" Kaden’s voice held a note of pride as he reached out to stroke the creature’s head. " This is my spirit animal, Luka." My breath caught in my throat. If that thing was an extension of him, then I definitely didn’t want to mess with either of them. The sheer size of it made my fear spike, and I couldn’t shake the feeling of being completely out of my depth. " So, it’s true, you are the king's mate," Merilla’s voice rang in my mi
Silent Whispers Chapter 13
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

“ Merilla, please help me!” I called out in my mind. There is no answer back from her, so I tried again. “ Merilla, I need you!” I hope I am doing it right, or maybe she can’t hear me because she is too far away. Our bond isn’t strong enough yet. “ Meara?” Her voice finally appeared in my head. “ Oh, thank God! Merilla, please come quick. This Barbarian of a king is carrying me off on his shoulder. He won’t let me go to have a moment to myself to think.” “ It is okay Meara. You are in the safest of hands. You are his Mate; he won’t do anything to hurt you. Once a man has found his mate, he gets very territorial of her, it is like they can’t be separated from us for too long, and it is the same with us.” “ Well, all I can think of is getting away from him. I need time alone to think. There is a lot that had happened the past few days and I just need a breather. I don’t know why, but something about him just seem to irritate me in the wrong way.” “ If it wi

“ 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

“ Listen, little one, from now on you will be sleeping in my chambers. You won’t be sleeping anywhere else. It is for your own safety. You are my mate, and you must be by my side at all times. End of discussion.” His eyes darkened, and he caught me completely of guard with his announcement. I was so shocked that I have to take a minute to get my breath back. He lurked closer. “ I am trying to be patient, but this attitude of yours is quiet irritating. You are my mate, and you should except it for what it is.” I was utterly stunned. From where this side of him suddenly appeared, I did not know. One minute it sounded like he actually cared about me and my feelings, and now he was acting like a complete barbarian again. “ Why? You don’t own me. I don’t care if we are mates, as everyone here would say. You are a stranger to me. I barely know you more than a day,” I snipped back at him. He gave me an evil smirk and took a step closer, so I took a step back. His amber eyes tur
Silent Whispers Chapter 17
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

Out of frustration, I threw the blanket off me, ready to go to the bathroom. Halfway there, I noticed a clean pile of clothes on the couch again. I must have really slept like a log because I didn’t even hear someone enter the room. I grabbed the pile of clothes and could feel the burning sensation of Kaden’s stare from behind me, watching me close the bathroom door. Once inside, I gave a sigh of relief. “ Stupid, stupid! Why did you have to go and touch his face?” I screamed at myself, my reflection glaring back at me with accusing eyes. “ What was that?” I heard him shout from the bed. “ Nothing!” I called out through gritted teeth. I could hear him chuckle, and God, did it sound good. “ Snap out of it, Meara!” I barely grazed his skin, and I am already going crazy. Mental note to self: don’t touch Kaden unless it is necessary. Other than that, he is a no-touch zone. Completely off-limits. Opening the cold water from the golden tap, I quickly splashed some wa

" 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

Merilla wagged her tail, happy to hear I still wanted to explore with her. “ Very well, but remember, you’re staying at your own risk,” he said harshly. “ From now on, I won’t bother you. Deon and the others are at your disposal if you need help with your search.” “ Thank you, Kaden.” “ Just promise me you’ll take them with you if you decide to explore the kingdom.” I nodded, giving him a friendly smile. He stared at me blankly for a moment, lips parted as if to say something, but then he left, leaving me somewhat disappointed. What had he wanted to say? The next morning, I was disappointed to see the chair next to the bed was empty. He hadn’t returned. I must be insane; I wanted him to leave me alone, but now that he was gone, I missed him. His dark, mesmerizing eyes with splashes of red haunted my thoughts. Pushing the feeling aside, I turned my attention to Merilla, who was still on the bed. She stretched comfortably when one of the healers entered. “ Oh, you’re up! That

After the world went dark around me, it felt like I was encased in a massive block of ice. It consumed me with each passing moment I remained there. Strangely, it brought me a sense of peace. Should I surrender to it, close my eyes, and give in to the comforting numbness? I was so tired; I doubted I could stay conscious much longer. But then, out of nowhere, something warm reached me. It began in the hand Kaden had held in his death grip, spreading to my heart, and from there, it gradually permeated my entire body. It melted the frozen ice that trapped me in the depths of my mind. I could breathe again. The warmth called to me, drawing me in like a moth to a distant light. The light grew brighter the closer I got to it. I opened my eyes to the familiar ceiling of Kaden’s sleeping chambers. Memories of Kaden rushed back, igniting my anger anew. As I tried to sit up, I felt something heavy on my feet. I lifted my head to find Merilla curled up at the end of the bed. Turning slig

What are you still doing here?” she said gruffly.“If I am not mistaken, this is my sleeping chamber, and she is my mate, so I have every right to be in here.”“You are going to kill her.” She looked at me with hatred in her eyes.“I know you care for her, but you have to let her go before it is too late, and you will regret it for the rest of your life. She is weak and not from this world. She doesn’t know our customs, and you don’t know the cause of your darkness. Just let her go until you have figured out what it is that is consuming your soul.”“On the contrary,” I said coldly. “Meara is the strongest person I have ever met! She is a fighter.” I said proudly to the head healer, but I didn’t admit to her that she was right, even when deep down I knew that the healer was telling the truth, which is why I must let Meara go. Even if it breaks my heart and makes me surrender to the dark side.Merilla lay on Meara’s feet, looking at me sympathetically. She understands that a mating bond

I followed the healer as she explained Meara’s situation to me. The healers were all stunned by Meara’s unique powers, how Fire and Ice managed to combine as one and work together as equals, creating Frost-Fire. With weak legs, I approached Meara as she lay lifeless in my bed, looking like a true Sleeping Beauty, my sleeping beauty! I sat in the chair next to her, touching her hand with my fingers. Electric sparks erupted inside me. My power was mad and ready to destroy both of us at any moment. But this soothing coolness reached me. She is the only person in the world who can do that to me. My powers calmed down and went away quickly. I took away my hand. If she still has magic left in her, I don’t want to drain it out of her. An older healer returned with a few bottles of different potions, giving instructions to a younger nurse healer in training. “This one is for the mornings after breakfast, and this one is for the evenings, this one for after every meal, for at least three t

The guys built fire and earth barriers to protect themselves, but they weren’t strong enough. My ice pierced through the barriers, one going through Kaden’s shirt, pinning him to the ground. I fell to my knees, panting. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Kaden rising, but I had no strength left. Completely drained and exhausted, I couldn’t fight back. The last thing I heard was Kaden shouting my name, his voice back to normal, not like he was possessed, and then everything went dark around me.( Kaden ) " What the fuck happened?" I was sitting at the table eating breakfast with my men and Meara, and the next moment, I was on the ground. I looked around and saw sharp shards of ice scattered across the lawn, one pinning me through my shirt. I reached to remove it, and a sharp pain shot through my shoulder. " Fuck!" I grunted, frustrated. My arm was dislocated. With a swift movement, I pressed hard into the ground, and it slipped back in with ease, though the pain was st
