"I, Amelie Ashwood, Reject you, Tate Cozad, as my mate. I REJECT YOU!" is what I screamed right before I took the silver blade that I just dipped in a bowl of my own blood to my mate mark. 
Amelie only ever wanted to live a simple life out of the spotlight of her Alpha bloodline. She felt she had that when she found her first mate. After years together, her mate was not the man he claimed to be. Amelie is forced to perform the Rejection Ritual to set herself feel. Her freedom comes at a price, one of which is an ugly black scar.
"Nothing! There's nothing! Bring her back!" I scream with every part of my being. I knew before he said anything. I felt her in my heart say goodbye and let go. At that moment, an unimaginable pain radiated to my core. 
Alpha Gideon Alios loses his mate, on which should be the happiest day of his life, the birth of his twins. Gideon doesn't have time to grieve, left mateless, alone, and a newly single father of two infant daughters.
Amelie Ashwood and Gideon Alios are two broken werewolves that fate has twisted together. This is their second chance at love, or is it their first? As these two fated mates come together, sinister plots come to life all around them. How will they come unite to keep what they deem the most precious safe?

Scars.

　　I didn't want to leave that room. I wanted to stay there and tease her more. I wanted to touch her more and be touched by her. I want to move slow, even though I want every part of her right now. I could smell her arousal, and I was doing everything I could to hold Ulv back. I can't take her while I'm here. I have to wait till we get back home. If I take her now, I will not be able to stop myself from marking her. Once I've marked her, and we've matted, she'll go into heat two days later. I want to be home and just have her and I locked away in our room. She-wolves go into heat every few months after they are mated. It happens to help with the bond and to produce offspring.


　　"Ulv, we have to hold back. I don't want to mark her here." I am pleading with him.


　　I can feel him watching her every move, wanting her. I want her too. "We don't have to mark her yet. I agree we should wait till we are home to mark her. I can hold back my fangs, can you?" He's testing me.
