"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 glanced around subtly to see if there was anyone close by who would notice the man approaching and would probably intervene.


　　Unfortunately, there was no one watching. I didn't want to look like I was panicking even though I really was.


　　Instead, I braced myself for what I knew was going to be an awful encounter.


　　As he reached me, he gave me a condescending look.


　　"I am Cornelius Langley, a loyal member of this pack." He introduced himself with arrogance in his voice, and his nose in the air.


　　I decided to be polite, hoping that maybe he was just overconfident. "I'm-"


　　He cut me off with a dismissive wave of his hand. "I know who you are- everybody knows who you are. The omega without a name who was picked up by the Alpha King to be his mate."


　　His words stung, but I forced myself not to react. I had been hearing things worse than this. I wasn't going to let him get to me.
