Chapter 11

• As Maya stood amidst the fading light of the evening, her thoughts scattered and her heart heavy with the weight of recent events, she was approached by Lucas. His presence brought a sense of comfort, a familiar warmth that eased the ache of her grief, if only for a moment.
• "Maya," Lucas greeted her softly, his voice gentle and reassuring. "I've come to bid you farewell for now. According to our pack's tradition, since you're considering me as a suitor, I'm supposed to come and stay with you for a while."
• Maya's heart skipped a beat at Lucas's words, a rush of emotion flooding through her at the realization of what he was saying. According to tradition, a suitor was expected to spend time with the alpha's daughter, getting to know her and her pack better before making a formal courtship proposal. It was a time-honored tradition that had been passed down through generations, and Maya couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation at the prospect of spending more time with Lucas.
