“And who might this be?” Carlyle asked, glancing at Amelia who stood beside Donald.

“Could it be the mysterious mate we’ve heard so much about?” Sidonnie chipped in.

“Yes, I’m Amelia. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you both.” She smiled nervously as she bowed her head. Because of her identity, she was a bit scared of her surrounding. It took everything in her to attend the ceremony in the first place.
