"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

　　We excused ourselves from all the crowd of people that wanted to greet me, and Knox led me towards the center of the dance. I could feel the eyes of the pack members on us as we walked.


　　The couples that had been dancing stopped, and they patiently waited for Knox and I to start.


　　A slow melodic tune began to play. My heart pounded in my chest as I thought of dancing and embarrassing myself terribly.


　　As we reached the middle of the floor, Knox turned to face me.


　　"It's simple," he said lowly, "Just follow my lead."


　　I nodded nervously as I placed one hand on his shoulder while he held my other hand in his, then he placed his hand on my waist, "Relax," he murmured, his gray eyes softened as they stared into mine. "You'll be fine."
