Chapter 92 -Maya's POV- We stared at each other, the air thick with a silence that stretched on for what felt like an eternity. His eyes were now focused entirely on the mark that marred my shoulder. He opened his mouth to speak, then closed it again, as if searching for the right words.
"Amaya," he finally managed, "..." The sentence trailed off unfinished, hanging heavy in the air.
My own hand instinctively reached up to touch the mark, my fingers traced the mark. The memory of Alex's mark, once vibrant in the sspot, flickered in my mind. It had faded over the years, mirroring the weakening of the bond after his rejection. Now, Ivan's mark sat boldly on top, a new claim etched onto my skin.
"You marked me," I whispered, the words catching slightly in my throat.
The silence returned, heavy and oppressive. He ran a hand through his hair, "I didn't..." he started, but I cut him off.
A grin, genuine and unexpected, split my face open. "You marked me," I repeated, this twith a hint of amusement dancing in my voice.

"Actually," I continued, my voice dropping to a husky whisper, "I've wanted you to do this for a while now. I wanted you to claim me." He held my gaze for a long moment, his eyes searching mine as if trying to decipher the truth behind my words. Then, a smile, slow and hesitant at first, spread across his face.
In a swift movement, he pulledtowards him, his arms wrapping tightly around my body. I melted into his embrace, the warmth of his touch a welccomfort. He rested his forehead against mine, his breathing ragged and uneven.
"Thank you," he murmured into my ear, his voice thick with emotion. Those were the last coherent words I heard before sleep claimed me, pullinginto a world of dreams where worries and anxieties melted away.
When I finally opened my eyes, the room was bathed in the soft glow of dusk. The warmth of his body was no longer next to me, and a wave of disappointment washed over me. Pushing the feeling aside as quickly as it came, I pulled myself out of bed and made my way to the bathroom.
Standing in front of the mirror, I took stock of myself. My reflection showedmessy hair, tangled from sleep, and bright eyes that sparkled with a newfound happiness. But the first thing I noticed was the mark on my shoulder. The raw edges were starting to soften, the black ink losing its initial intensity. It would heal quickly, completely, if my wolf side wasn't so weak. But even with the delayed healing, the mark would eventually beca permanent brand on my skin, a constant reminder of the bond I now shared with Ivan.
But a nagging thought followed. For us to fully form the bond, I needed to do the sbut my wolf would have to cto terms with it first. She had been eerily quiet. It wasn't a surprise - I knew she wouldn't agree with Ivan marking me. She was still attuned to Alex, forever marked by his rejection. But I also knew, with a deep certainty, that she would eventually understand.
The hurt and pain of Alex's betrayal was fading, replaced by a burgeoning hope for the future. Ivan, with his kindness and strength, was becoming more than just a welcdistraction. He was becoming my future.
"Thinking about ways to remove the mark already?" His voice startled me, cutting through the silence of the bathroom. There was a teasing Lit to his tone, but beneath it, I sensed a hint of doubt.

Instead, I changed the subject. "What is going to happen now?" He didn't answer right aw away. His gaze drifted back to the mark on my shoulder, a silent conversation taking place between him and the symbol etched onto my skin.
