"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

　　"What's wrong?" Knox asked, looking concerned.


　　"I'm fine," I replied with a soft smile.


　　He shook his head, stepping closer to me with a small frown. "Something has been bothering you, Aria. You can tell me, and I'll take care of it." He urged.


　　I hesitated. Cornelius' words replayed in my mind.


　　'Do me a favor and keep this between us. Or you could go running to him like the little girl you are.'


　　I knew what Cornelius was trying to do. He was trying to keep me silent, so that I wouldn't tell Knox.


　　"Aria?" Knox called, furrowing his eyebrows in worry when I didn't reply.


　　I released a sigh. "I'm just worried that some of your pack members might not be pleased that an omega like me is coming to be their Luna Queen." I said vaguely, without mentioning names.
