Finn chuckled under his breath, lips against my ear. “You smell like strawberries.” His voice was husky and ragged and I bit back the moan that rose to my lips. 
I lifted my head and saw that his eyes were open and he was staring at me, our faces inches apart. My stomach exploded with flutters and I panted as I stared at him. My cheeks burned hot. 
“I… uh…”
Finn smirked and tightened his grip on the back of my head, guiding me closer to him. Before I even knew what was happening, his lips pressed to mine.

Finn was the Shadowmoon boss and the most powerful shifter in the world. Finding out he was my mate should have been the happiest moment of my life. But when he looked at me with pure hatred and revulsion, I knew I wasn’t going to get my happily ever after. 
Being a second chance mate was a burden I wasn’t ready for, especially since the memory of his first wife, and her pictures, surrounded me. How could I ever measure up to her? How could I compare to his first, true love? But the Moon Goddess fated us for a reason and I wasn’t going to let him forget that.

Second Chance Mate to the Shadowmoon Mafia Boss

Shadows provided cover as my men moved in around the safe house. Asher found me intel that Aiden, Callum's second, was keeping Vivian in that house. Callum was bold indeed if he thought he could send his men onto my compound without any repercussions. 


I snorted a puff of warm air out my nose in a cloud. 


'Alright, I want the A team to move in and do a sweep. Take out any security you find, quietly," I ordered through the mindlink. 


Wolves raced from the shadows on silent paws. They were swallowed up by the deeper shadows around the house. 


I shifted my weight on my front paws, my wolf chomping at the bit to get in there. I asserted my control, forcing him to submit. It looked like the security was lax on the outside of the safehouse but I couldn't take any chances. 


'Boss, we've secured the perimeter. There were only a few guards.'
