"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

　　At this point, it almost felt like Liam and Veronica all over again.


　　Shawn shook his head. "But Astrid… she never stopped wanting what she had lost. She lost her parents during a rogue attack, and their death anniversaries have always been difficult for her. I think what she does is to use her grief to get closer to him again."


　　My jaw clenched. I knew it. My mind flashed back to that smug smirk, and I sneered.


　　'Fucking bitch,' Jade cursed in my head.


　　"She knows he has a soft spot for her," I spat. "And she's exploiting it."


　　Shawn sighed. "It's possible. But I don't think the Alpha sees it that way. He just thinks he's helping an old friend."


　　I stood abruptly, and began pacing the room. "So what you're telling me is that Knox, my mate, has been comforting his ex every single year? Even when they are no longer together?"


　　I turned to him sharply. "And he never thought to mention this to me?"
