Chapter 33

• As Maya's consciousness ebbed away, she felt herself being pulled into a realm where reality blurred with the fantastical, where the boundaries between dreams and waking life dissolved into nothingness. And there, in the ethereal landscape of her mind, she found herself standing in a verdant meadow bathed in the soft glow of moonlight, surrounded by the men who held a place in her heart.
• Leo stood before her, his eyes ablaze with warmth and adoration as he reached out to take her hand in his. "Maya," he whispered, his voice a gentle caress against her skin. "I have loved you from the moment I first laid eyes on you, and I will love you for all eternity. Will you be my mate, now and forever?"
• Maya's heart fluttered at the sight of Leo, the familiar warmth of his presence wrapping around her like a comforting embrace. She felt a rush of affection swell within her as she gazed into his eyes, her own eyes brimming with tears of joy and happiness. "Yes," she breathed, her voice barely more than a whisper. "Yes, I will be your mate, now and forever."
