"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 trust you. I love you too. Please call me as soon as you can, and once I'm done here, we are heading home! I don't care if it's the middle of the night!" I say in defeat over the phone to Amelie.


　　She giggles and gives me a slight smile. "I promise. I love you." We hang up, and I have never been more conflicted in my life. Do I stay and finish what I need to here, or do I pack up and go home now?


　　"Mate is right. We need to continue our work." Ulv's conviction is surprising. When we first heard we had a rouge attack, He wanted to try and run back. Now, after it's over, he is thinking clearly, but I'm not.


　　Marcus interrupts my train of thought. "Alpha, the report I am getting for Matt's team, and Jordan is baffling. How did six non-affiliated wolves attack us? Plus, their attitude and mannerisms along with how they look do NOT sound like any rouge I've ever seen."
