"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

　　"You are the cause of all this," the voice cackled. "Their blood is on your hands, you've brought death upon them... this is your power, Aria." The voice was getting closer now, but I was frozen in terror.


　　"Embrace it, Aria. This is what you are meant to be."


　　I scrambled to my feet, but the bodies were everywhere. I couldn't escape them. It was my fault. I had done this.


　　I turned to look at Knox's body again, as the guilt ate into me.


　　"Accept it, Aria. You have the power. You always have. You are the one who ended their lives. You are to be feared. You're the one who destroys. Embrace your strength. Embrace who you are."


　　I collapsed to my knees, and closed my ears with my shaking hands to block out that dark voice. "No, no, no." I mumbled over and over.


　　But the voice didn't stop. It became even louder, forcing its way into my mind.
