"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.

　　"Report!" I mind-link to my team buzzing around the banquet hall.


　　"Alpha, I heard Alpha Kentwood talking about taking another Alpha to his ranch in Lily, South Dakota." It's the first real lead. What's even more interesting is the Kentwood Pack is located in Missouri, and Lily, South Dakota, is a one-stoplight town of farmers and ranchers.


　　"Did anyone get anything else?" I pick up a glass of champagne to hide the fact I'm getting an intel report.


　　"I heard an Alpha talking about."


　　"Mates in trouble!" Ulv screams in my head, interrupting the intel report. I run for the door, and John is hot on my heels.


　　"Something happened to Celeste." I nod. No other explanation is needed. We both feel it.
