"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

　　I was going to be introduced to Knox's pack as the Luna Queen. My heart pounded, and cold sweat dripped down my spine as I imagined standing in front of the crowd. An omega without a last name, claiming the title of the Luna Queen.


　　My mind flashed back to the sneer on his Beta's face, and the depreciating look on the Beta sister's face. How would the rest of the pack react?


　　I winced as I remembered how I had been pounding on Knox's office door yesterday, drawing attention to myself.


　　"Aria?" Knox's concerned voice pulled me back into reality. It looked like he had been calling me for a while.


　　I blinked, and turned to him with a smile that didn't reach my eyes.


　　He furrowed his eyebrows and approached me looking worried.


　　"Are you okay? You look… pale."


　　I nodded and gave him a small smile. "Yeah… yeah… I'm fine." I tried to assure him. I didn't want him to worry.


　　He wasn't convinced. He placed his hands gently on my shoulders.
