"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.

　　Gideon turns and looks at me while he rubs the back of his neck. "OK, come on, girls," I say and pat the spot next to me.


　　I can see the happiness on Gideon's face than a flash of disappointment. The girls crawl in bed and wiggle under the covers. Rose is next to me, and she looks up and touches my chest right above my heart. "When you have our flowers, can we call you mommy?"


　　Tears start welling up, "Yes, you can call me mommy."


　　Daisy pops up, "When will you have our flowers?"


　　Gideon joins the conversation. "When do you want Amelie to have your flowers?"


　　Daisy stands up in the bed, and with all the determination her little body can muster, she yells, "Right now!"


　　I can't help but laugh. She's so fierce for a three-year-old. "OK, but you need to understand that there is going to be blood. So don't get scared." Gideon tells them.


　　"We're not scared, daddy." Rose is also standing on the bed now.


　　Gideon looks over at me, "Well, are you OK with it?"
