"You shouldn't be here, you're the Alpha King and my ma... ex-mate's uncle." I managed to say, trying to resist his touch.
He chuckled deeply, "You forgot one more thing," he said simply, brushing his thumb over my lower lips.
"What is that?" I whispered almost inaudibly.
"I'm also your mate." He murmured, leaning towards me.
"What do you want from me?" I asked, feeling so confused.
"Isn't it obvious?" He asked with a smirk, "I want you."

***

Aria is heartbroken, when her fated mate, the Alpha's son, betrays and brutally rejects her.
Seeking temporary comfort, she finds herself in the arms of a mysterious stranger who offers her the comfort she desperately craves that night, under the influence of a sexual stimulant and she flees the next morning.
To her shock, she discovers that her passionate night was spent with her ex-mate's uncle, the Alpha King, Alpha Knox Blackwood, who is also her second chance mate.
Knox however is not willing to let her go. He has had a taste and wants her for himself.
Knox offers her a second chance- an opportunity to leave her past as an omega behind.
Will she accept?
What happens when their dark pasts rise to haunt them? Can they build a future together or will the opposing forces drive them apart?

A Night with the Alpha King: Rejected and Reclaimed

　　Throughout our walk to Knox's office, I was worried. What if my dream was actually reality? What if Knox really didn't want me in his pack? I bit my lips in thought.


　　Shawn was visibly tense. I could see it in the way he moved stiffly. I furrowed my eyebrows. Was that how scary Knox's anger was? Even his gamma was scared of him.


　　I winced as the image of Liam's limp body flashed through my mind. Knox had brutally beaten his nephew, almost to death. So maybe his anger was that scary.


　　I kept my head down as we walked past some of the pack members. I could feel their curious gazes on me as they wondered who I was. Knox hadn't yet introduced me, so they didn't know who I was.


　　"Shawn!" A voice called from behind us, and Shawn turned around with a bright smile. "Hunter!"


　　Hunter strolled towards us with a confident strut and a small smirk on his face. They did some sort of bro-handshake as they greeted themselves like brothers.
