Chapter 24

• Maya sank onto the soft cushions of her meditation mat, the cool earth beneath her grounding her as she closed her eyes and focused on her breath. In the stillness of the moment, she allowed her mind to wander, to drift through the tangled web of emotions that had consumed her over the past week.
• Her father's death weighed heavily on her heart, a constant ache that refused to fade with time. Alpha Asher had been more than just a leader to her – he had been her confidant, her mentor, her rock. And now, with his passing, she felt adrift, lost in a sea of uncertainty and grief.
• But it wasn't just her father's death that troubled her. No, there were other complications, other burdens that she carried with her wherever she went. Like the tangled web of emotions that threatened to suffocate her – the confusing mess of feelings that had sprung up between her and the men in her life.
