Chapter 88

~Ignis~

Ignis sits on a rock in the forest she has made home for the past few months. The sun warms her skin but not her heart or mine. Ignis's mind still races with conflicting thoughts and emotions. The wind howls around her, a lonely sound that echoes the turmoil inside her heart.

Her mind drifted back to the moment when the imprint bond had taken shape, recalling the overwhelming surge of anger that rushed through her body and the resentment that had engulfed her. She had been so focused on seeking revenge that she had failed to grasp the gravity of the situation until it was too late.

Trapped in a difficult situation with a man she knows she should hate, Ignis struggles with complicated feelings. On one hand, she's still consumed by a strong desire for revenge, driven by the pain and anger from the past. On the other hand, she feels a powerful pull from the imprint bond, a persistent feeling in her mind that whispers, "He's yours; he's your mate."
