The night fell silently, with the full moon illuminating the clear sky; the cold wind cut through the surrounding trees, but the Northern Pack's house remained warm and welcoming inside. The four were in their rooms, but for Caio and Mary, that moment had a very special weight: it was the night of the marking.
Caio approached Mary, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, visibly nervous, her fingers intertwined. He knelt before her, his eyes filled with affection and respect.
"Mary... are you ready?" he asked, in a soft voice, trying to calm her.
She looked at him, her eyes shining with a mixture of anxiety and emotion. Since the moment he had rejected the pack to protect her sister, she knew that the marking would be the final step in sealing what they had become: mates, united forever, but she still felt pressure, a silent fear.
"I don't know…" she said, with a slight smile. "I'm afraid something will go wrong, Caio."
Caio moved closer, gently touching her face, and with an affectionate smile, said:
"Nothing can go wrong, Mary. You and I were made for each other. The marking is our eternal bond. You are safe with me, always. Nothing else matters besides that."
Mary took a deep breath, trying to ward off her fears. She closed her eyes as he gently held her wrist, guiding her to the bed. He was there, firm, and she knew that this would be the crucial moment for both of them: the transformation from a simple bond of companionship to something deeper, something unbreakable.
Caio pulled her closer, her body almost touching his. He felt the warmth of her skin, the softness of her touch. She raised her chin and looked at him, trusting, albeit with a trace of fear.
"I will mark you, Mary. You are mine, and I am yours, forever," he murmured, his gaze full of emotion.
Mary closed her eyes, feeling her heart race at Caio's words. It was as if the whole universe was aligning at that moment.
Caio pushed her hair aside, exposing the skin of her neck, and leaned in. Before making the first move, he looked at her once more, to make sure she was ready. She nodded with a small smile, wordlessly saying that she was surrendering to him.
With a sigh, Caio pressed his teeth against Mary's soft skin, feeling the warmth of her body pulsing against his. He applied slight pressure, marking her with a fiery and deep kiss.
When his teeth finally broke her skin, he felt their energy merging. She stretched slightly, moaning in pain, but soon that pain turned into pleasure. The marking was the symbol of their union, and when his teeth withdrew, a bright seal appeared on her skin, the visible mark of their eternal connection.
Caio looked at her, and what he saw in her eyes was pure love and desire. She was marked by him, just as he was marked by her.
"Now we are complete," he whispered, kissing her forehead gently.
Mary smiled, still breathing rapidly, and said:
"It will always be this way, Caio, always."
And, with a deep sigh, she gave herself into his arms, the bond now sealed and unbreakable, in the deepest of senses.
The mark was already there, visible on Mary's neck and on Caio's, an indelible mark of their union, but what she and Caio didn't yet know was that, to complete the ceremony, something more needed to happen—something deeper, that involved not only the body, but also the soul.
Caio watched the mark, still shining softly in the moonlight, and for a moment, the world around him seemed to disappear. He touched the spot of the mark with his fingertips, feeling the energy pulsing there, as if everything in his life was now touched by it.
"Mary…" his voice came out lower, as if he were speaking to her soul. "Now, our connection is complete, but there is still something more—something that can only happen between us two."
She looked at him with eyes more intense than ever, her breathing still uneven. She knew what he meant, but it wasn't just the body that needed to be marked; it was the soul, the spirit, something that would be sealed when their bond became even deeper.
Caio pulled her closer, their bodies now touching, and Mary felt his warmth, the scent of his wolf, and the strong beat of his heart. He didn't need to say anything more. The words had already been spoken by the touch of their hands, by the way their bodies fit together.
With a deep sigh, Caio leaned towards her, his lips gently touching hers. The kiss started softly, but soon intensified, like a promise of everything they could be, and of everything they already were. His hands began to explore her body with more fervor, feeling every curve, every part of her skin, as if they were rediscovering each other, but at the same time, being united by something that was already written in destiny.
Mary, with her eyes closed, surrendered to him completely. She could feel the marking on her skin pulsing, but she also felt something more—something deep, as if their souls were finally meeting on a level beyond the physical. She had been marked by him, but now, she felt that he was also being marked by her in a way that transcended any explanation.
The touches became faster, more impetuous. Caio held her tightly, his hands descending to her waist, pulling her closer, as if he didn't want to let her go anymore. The kisses became more urgent, and at some point, he laid Mary on the bed, without ever breaking contact.
"Mary…" he whispered, now looking into her eyes with an intensity that made her lose herself in him. "We are one, now and forever. It will hurt a little, but it will pass soon, I promise." Then he penetrated her.
She took a deep breath, her fingers digging into his skin as she responded to his touch. The pain, the fear—all of that disappeared when he touched her, and when their mouths met again, she felt that everything she needed most was there, with him.
Their marks shine brightly as their bodies move in a dance of pure connection, as if the entire universe is aligning, validating what they were doing. It was more than just a physical union; it was a silent promise of love, of trust, of fidelity. Their energy intertwined, and suddenly, everything calmed down.
Caio and Mary remained there, together, their bodies still in contact, breathing in the same heat, while the full moon continued to shine in the sky, witnessing what had just been sealed. The mark, now visible and bright, was more than a symbol; it was proof that, from that moment on, no power could separate them. There was no turning back.
"Forever, Mary… forever," Caio whispered, his lips touching her forehead gently.
She smiled, her eyes shining with the same intensity as the bond between them.
"Forever, Caio."
And, at that moment, the two knew that nothing else mattered. They were complete, united by something that no one could ever break.
