Amelia Meyers is the firstborn daughter of Alpha Carter and Luna Amy and the older sister of Sophie. Raised under the old laws, she never questioned the traditions that governed her life. On her eighteenth birthday, she was publicly claimed by her fated mate. Calvin Shepard is a powerful Alpha of his own pack. He believes in the traditions he was raised to honor, including the public claiming of a mate. After a devastating attack claimed Amelia’s parents, she returned home to bury her parents and face the reality that their pack had no leader. After the funeral, Amelia and Calvin find themselves on opposite sides of a decision that will change everything. Calvin, without thinking it through, states that Amelia should claim her birthright and take over her parents’ pack. When she agrees, she leaves the man she has built a life with and remains in her parents' pack becoming the first ever female Alpha. Realizing his mistake too late, Calvin returns home without his Luna. Before he could bridge the distance between them, an ambush by an old foe left him stripped of his memories. He no longer remembers the rift between them. He has no memory of his daughter’s birth. He doesn’t remember that Amelia is now an Alpha of her own pack, nor does he remember the changes he was making to mend the fracture in their bond. As Sophie's revolution reshapes the centuries-old claiming and old laws begin to crumble, Amelia and Calvin must decide whether a mate bond built on fate can survive without trust, forgiveness, and compromise. Can Amelia and Calvin find their way back to each other or will some bonds remain broken forever? Find out in the final installment of The One He Series, The One He Reclaimed.
