"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."

A Night with the Alpha King: Rejected and Reclaimed

　　My furrow deepened as I got even more confused. "What?" I asked. I didn't remember any of that happening.


　　"You were crying and writhing on the bed, like you were in a lot of pain. I tried waking you up, but you wouldn't wake up no matter how I called or shook you. It was so scary. I called Felicia, she's on her way."


　　I stared at Knox, my heart pounding in my chest. "But, I… I don't remember any of that."


　　Knox pulled back slightly to look at me. His eyebrows were furrowed in concern. "What do you mean?"


　　I shook my head, still trying to process what he was saying. "I remember falling asleep. I remember feeling exhausted, but nothing else. I didn't feel any pain. At least… I don't think I did."


　　Knox's grip on me tightened. "Aria, you were crying. You kept saying it hurt everywhere—your chest, your head, your whole body. I tried everything to wake you up, but you wouldn't respond."


　　I opened my mouth, but I didn't know what to say.
