"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

　　Knox paused for a moment, then he ran a hand through his hair as he released a sigh. "I didn't think it mattered." He said quietly, staring at the floor.


　　I lifted an eyebrow in disbelief at him. "You didn't think it mattered?" I asked incredulously, "You almost marked her, Knox!"


　　Knox nodded slowly, lifting his eyes to meet mine. "Yes, I almost did. And it wasn't because I had any feelings for her. Even when we were... a thing. I only cared for her like a friend."


　　"I lost hope of ever finding a mate, and I knew that I needed a Luna. So I decided to go with someone that I could tolerate. Someone that was close. Who better than my friend, who was the sister of my beta?" He added, keeping his eyes on mine.


　　The pain in my chest twinged slightly, but I ignored it. "That still doesn't justify the reason why you kept it from me." I said quietly, folding my arms.
