"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 don’t have all the answers to your questions. But I can give you what I do know.” I stand up and stretch a bit. I stand in front of Amelie and start with what I know, “I know my family is incredibly old and came to the US with the Ashwood pack. I know my great-grandfather created the current structure we have now with the Delta Force. My family has always allied with the Ashwoods and been the vice-head of the Alpha council. That’s all the facts I know. However, if what you tell is true about your lineage, I am honored that the goddess has chosen me and my bloodline to be part of direct influence. That means my descendants and pack have a strong future.” Amelie looks up at me and just blinks her eyes a few times, and her mouth drops open.
