Carlyle and Sidonnie exchanged warm greetings with their friends, grateful for their presence on this special day.

“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.

There was a moment of recognition in Carlyle’s eyes as he looked at Amelia.

“You’re as lovely as Donald described, Amelia.” He commented.

“Indeed, you have a captivating presence, Amelia. Welcome to our pack.” Sidonnie admired, joining the conversation.

Amelia blushed at the compliments, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness in the presence of the Alpha couple.

“She does have a beautiful smile, doesn’t she?” Carlyle said again and Sidonnie glared him a warning.

“Don’t worry, your smile is beautiful too. It’s the most beautiful.” He kissed her cheek to dissipate her feigned anger.

“Thank you, Carlyle, Sidonnie. I’m grateful for your kind words. It took a lot to have her here.” He whispered the last statement and Carlyle offered a reassuring smile.

“We’re happy to have you both here. Unfortunately, we have many guests to greet, but let’s plan to meet again soon, Amelia. There’s much we have to discuss.” He said.

Amelia nodded eagerly, feeling a sense of belonging in the presence of her mate and the Alpha couple.

Just when the couples were about to go separate ways, Sidonnie beamed with happiness.

“Athena is here,” she pointed in Athena’s direction and the other three looked the same way.

Amelia’s eyes widened as she looked at Athena and quickly took her gaze away.

“Canthra Minerva?” She murmured to herself, shielding herself with Donald’s body.
