The Rejected Mate
"What are you doing here?"
"I came to apologize," he said, his voice soft and remorseful.
Amelia was taken aback. She had never expected Daniel to apologize for how he had treated her. "Apologize?" she repeated, confused.
"Yes," he said, walking over to her and sitting down beside her. "I know we have had our differences, and I regret how I treated you before. I was wrong to reject you and I realize now that I was blind to your true worth. I see it clearly now, Amelia. You are strong, brave, and fiercely loyal. You have qualities that make you an excellent leader, and I am proud to call you my mate."
