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

Luce, Asher, Emmette, Felix, and Declan shuffled into my office before the clock struck noon. Asher had someone with him. The gap-toothed spy, Dunstan. 


"I didn't know this was an open meeting," I growled. 


Asher shoved Dunstan forward. He grunted and hit my desk, throwing his arms out to absorb the blow. 


"Tell him what you told me," Asher snarled. 


Dunstan nodded vigorously. He wouldn't meet my gaze as stammering mutters poured out of his mouth. 


I glanced at Asher. "What did you do to him?" 


"I simply reminded him that sharing is caring when it comes to information he learns about Sablepelt. Apparently, he's been holding out on us." 


I crossed my arms and glared at the spy. "Is that so?" 


Asher grabbed the back of Dunstan's head and forced it down, making him bow in front of me. "Tell him what you told me!" 


"I-I heard that C-Callum thinks y-you're withholding his mate. H-he wanted to t-trade."
