"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

　　I clenched my fists in annoyance.


　　"Stop calling Knox's words 'bullshit.' I don't appreciate that. He is my mate, and he is overprotective, but I love him for that." I said firmly, refusing to answer to her question.


　　There was a long silence after my words, and I stood up from where I sat at the edge of the bathtub, fully expecting Jade to stay silent after that.


　　However, a low chuckle echoed in my mind, causing me to pause. Jade chuckled in amusement.


　　'Now, this is what I am talking about. Refusing to take nonsense, and firmly shutting down any form of disrespect. I'm proud.' She said, still chuckling.


　　"What?" I asked, even more confused.


　　'I was taunting you, Aria. I wanted to see if you would get riled up, and shut down my disrespect, or if you would just roll over and let it slide.' She replied, still sounding amused.


　　"Oh," I muttered. I didn't know what to say.
