"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."

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

　　I could tell that my words cut deep into him because his face fell. I ignored the pain in his eyes as I turned to leave, too furious to care.


　　"Aria," he called softly, but I was too angry to respond. I stormed out of his office with clenched fists and tears running down my face.


　　Shawn was waiting by the door with a nervous look on his face. His eyes widened slightly in relief when he saw me, but he winced when he saw my face. I furiously wiped the tears off my face, and walked off. He followed me back in silence.


　　On my way back to the room, several thoughts raced through my mind. Was this the end? Should I start preparing to leave?


　　Immediately I got back, I waved Shawn goodbye and closed the door, ignoring his look of pity.
