"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

　　"Come on, Aria. You're pregnant. You can't still be thinking of going for training." Knox murmured sleepily the next morning when I woke up to prepare.


　　I released a small laugh. "I am pregnant, not disabled."


　　Knox groaned. "But you passed out yesterday." He mumbled.


　　I shrugged. "After you left, I was feeling like a mess after, and I couldn't sleep that night. That was why I passed out yesterday. Not because I was pregnant."


　　Knox groaned again. "You are so stubborn." He grumbled as he sat up on the bed, rubbing his face with his palm, "I would love to come with you to tell Hunter to take it easy, but I know you might not appreciate that. So please tell Hunter that you're pregnant, so that he will reduce your workload."


　　At his words, I paused. I was surprised. The Knox of before wouldn't have even allowed me to step a foot outside if he knew I was pregnant. He hadn't even insisted that he come tell Hunter himself.
