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

My heart hammered in my chest and colored spots danced at the edges of my vision. I couldn’t tell if I was breathing anymore but the room around me grew fuzzy.


“Vivian?” Grace’s voice sounded far away, muffled by cotton or water.


Her hand on my shoulder grounded me and I blinked out of my shock. I knew that Finn and I were only just starting to trust each other and get to know each other but I thought he’d mention something like that.


“Are you okay?” Grace asked, waving her hand in front of my face.


I nodded. There was only one reason why he wouldn’t have mentioned it.


“Dad, why didn’t you tell F-Finn?”


“That’s a good question.” Grace narrowed her eyes and glared across the table at my father. “I was with Finn when he read your report and there was no mention of this alleged pregnancy.”
