TBTM Mythical Creatures Cup: Valkyrie of Fire & Ash Tropes - hosted by ettaviereads

Fated Mates or Soul Mates
The fated mates trope is where two soulmates (one usually a shifter) find each other and things soon get steamy.

The soulmate romance trope plays hard on the inevitability and eventuality of the couple falling in love. This could be because of external or supernatural forces, because they can’t seem to stay apart and keep coincidentally running into each other, or simply because one or both of the characters believe it to be.


Two (or more) of the characters discover that they are destined to be together.
