Amelia
My breath shudders out of my body. I have kept this secret from all around me for almost fifty years. My mate rejected me a week after meeting me because he couldn’t break down my walls. I’d lost my baby a year previous, and I couldn’t give him what he wanted. But then I guess the mate bond wasn’t that strong if he could walk away from me so easily. Thank the Goddess, we never completed the mating process.
In the romantic sense, I have been alone all these years. I wasn’t looking for love because I didn’t need it. I had enough people to care for and keep my mind on anything besides what I lost.
Even as a child, I worked hard to become the warrior I am today. I worked even hard after the attack. I never wanted to be in a position again where anyone would catch me unawares.
