"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 could hear Knox's voice as he discussed with Healer Felicia with a low voice, so I kept my eyes closed.


　　"Do you think it's just because of the pregnancy?" Knox asked with a concerned voice, "Because it felt a whole lot more than that. Before she passed out, she was acting completely different. I have never seen her like that before."


　　"I understand what you're trying to say, Alpha," Felicia said, "But trust me, these hormones can change someone's personality totally, especially in....unmarked females." She said reluctantly.


　　Knox cleared his throat uncomfortably. "Oh," he said simply.


　　There was an awkward silence, before Felicia broke it. "But, may I ask why you haven't–"


　　"No," Knox said coldly, "You may not ask."


　　Another voice spoke up. "Calm down, Alpha. You know that she means no harm, she's just being curious."


　　My eyes flew open instantly. It was Astrid. She was here, in the hospital room with Knox.
