"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."

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 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

　　In the early hours of the morning, I was awake. I couldn't sleep as so many thoughts raced through my mind at the same time.


　　First, Cornelius' words and his association with Astrid were worrisome, because I knew it wasn't going to do anything good for me. Telling Knox was out of the question. Cornelius' words echoed in my head, reminding me that I would just seem like a helpless little girl relying on Knox for everything. I needed to gain my respect as the Luna, instead of being feared because of Knox.


　　I wanted to be a respected Luna. So I wasn't reporting it to Knox. I would handle it myself. Even though I didn't know how to handle it myself, I would find a way.


　　However, what was troubling me the most was Knox. Last night was amazing and truly magical, but something had been missing.
