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

Blood rushed in my ears. I was acutely aware of the heat from Finn’s fingers burning into my hip and at the back of my neck. 


I gasped and pulled my lips from his, despite my wolf’s protests. My chest rose and fell and I knew my skin was flushed. I slid off his lap and took a step back. 


Finn arched an eyebrow at me, his face otherwise a mask. 


I bit my lower lip and held a hand out to him. “Oh, this isn’t over.”


He smirked and took my hand. I pulled him off the couch and led the way upstairs. His eyes burned into me from behind and my heart continued to hammer in my chest. The heat of my arousal pulsed between my legs. There was no turning back now. 


As soon as we entered the bedroom, I turned to Finn and slipped my arms around his neck. I pulled myself on tiptoes and pressed my lips to his. He grunted and looped an arm around my waist, pulling me flush against his body.
