"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."

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

　　"Knox," I mumbled softly, tears welling up in my eyes at his pain.


　　He shook his head, "Please hold on, let me finish." He pleaded softly.


　　I nodded as I silently waited for him to continue speaking.


　　"But yesterday was so different. You made the effort to get them to approach me, and they were so free with me like never before. It was amazing." He exclaimed with a slightly brighter look in his eyes.


　　My heart broke for him, and I couldn't help but throw myself at him in a hug.


　　"You don't need to thank me for anything," I mumbled against his chest, breathing in his familiar intoxicating scent of peppermint and cedar.


　　"I owe you so much already, you have done a lot of things for me, Knox." I murmured softly.


　　He wrapped his arms around me with a contented sigh.
