A Night With The Alpha King: Rejected And Reclaimed
“You shouldn’t be here, you're the Alpha King and Liam'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 for 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 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, and she quickly accepts.
However, there are so many people not happy about this, and Knox has a dark secret. What happens when their dark pasts rise up to haunt them?

Chapter: Chapter 175Aria’s POVAt the witch’s words, my heart skipped a beat.“I… You’re lying.” I mumbled, shaking my head.She sneered at me. “Am I? Tell me, little girl, why would I lie about something like that? What would I gain?”I clenched my jaw, fists trembling at my sides. “I don’t know. Maybe because you’re evil? You cursed my mate.”She shrugged carelessly, rolling her eyes at me. “Actions have consequences, dear. He shouldn’t have killed me.”I ran a hand through my hair in frustration as several thoughts raced through my mind.Her eyes never left me. “You’re wasting time, Aria. The curse is not waiting for anyone. It’s evolving. You know that.”My chest tightened. I clenched my fists tightly, but I couldn’t stop them from shaking. I felt dizzy, and a cold sweat rolled down my back.If things were different, I would have wondered how I was even able to feel dizzy and sweat in a dream.I opened my mouth to argue, but no words came out, because deep down I knew she was right.Her lips curled i

Chapter: Chapter 174Aria's POVI was back at that tomb—the tomb that Lilith’s body had laid on a few hours ago. Only this time, the tomb was completely empty.The marble platform was completely empty. All that was left was that cursed stake.It was in the center of the platform, shining faintly.My eyes widened slightly as I realized that it was the same stake that I had pulled from Lilith’s chest.My breath hitched. What was going on?What was I doing here?The last thing I remembered was falling asleep beside Knox. We were in the car, heading home. So why was I waking up here with a strange feeling running through my body?What the hell was this?My heart pounded in my chest as I reluctantly took a step closer to the platform. Something felt off, and all I wanted was to be back in the car with Knox.“Well, well, well… We meet at last. Aria, the mate of the Wolf King.”I spun around instantly.From the shadows, an old woman approached. She was hunched, very thin, and her skin was wrinkled. She walked sl

Chapter: Chapter 173Aria’s POVViktor chuckled under his breath. “She’s only kind in private. I used to think she hated everyone, until I realized she just doesn’t waste her energy pretending to like people she doesn’t.”“And she doesn’t like anyone.” Raven chimed in dryly.Lilith rolled her eyes. “I like you.”“Barely,” Raven replied, “You only tolerate me.”Lilith shrugged, “Same thing.”I opened my mouth to say something else, but Knox slapped his hand over my mouth. “No, that’s all. We’re leaving.”Knox didn’t wait for anymore vampire-wolf bonding. He grabbed my hand and pulled me away, muttering curses under his breath.“Okay, okay!” I called over my shoulder, stumbling after him. “We’re leaving. It was nice seeing everyone. See you at the Naming Rite!”Lilith raised a hand in a half-hearted wave. “We’ll bring wine!” she called back.“You just had to invite them,” he muttered.“I know, I know.” I rolled my eyes. “He’s your mortal enemy. He tried to kill me. You tried to kill him. Blah blah centuries

Chapter: Chapter 172Aria’s POV“Stand down,” Viktor said coolly, without turning his head. His voice wasn’t raised, but it sliced through the air sharply.The vampires obeyed immediately, halting in their movement, but they hissed threateningly as they eyed Knox and I with hatred, while some eyed Lilith with curiosity.Knox growled, and the wolves behind him stopped in their tracks.Shawn stepped forward slightly, his eyes scanning me from head to toe. He didn’t speak, but the slight nod of his head and the relief in his expression were enough. I gave him a soft smile in return.Silence fell again. It was the kind of silence that came before something exploded.Viktor narrowed his eyes at Knox. “Your mate brought back my mate and child, but I won't forget that you killed them. So, the next time I see you—” he said, his voice dropped. “I won’t hesitate to kill you.”Knox didn’t even blink. “You kidnapped my pregnant mate. So if I see you first, I’ll rip your heart out.”They stared at each other, without

Chapter: Chapter 171Aria's POVViktor stood quietly behind us with an unreadable look on his face as he stared at us. Raven released a long sigh of relief, as she finally lowered her guard.Silent footsteps coming from behind drew my attention, and I turned my head.It was Lilith.She stood at the end of the destroyed hallway, beside a broken pillar. Her hair was the bright vibrant red colour that I saw from my visions, and her skin was no longer gray and sunken in like before. She was alive, and she recovered very fast.Her eyes found mine first, and she gave me a small nod, silently telling me that she was okay. I gave a small smile in reply.Then she turned to Viktor. Viktor stared at her, completely frozen.He didn’t blink. He didn’t move.Lilith took a cautious step forward, toward him.“Viktor,” she called softly, her voice trembling. “It’s me.”Viktor finally blinked, then, without a word, he began to move.He stopped in front of Lilith, and for a moment he just stared at her, like he was dreaming

Chapter: Chapter 170Aria's POVFor a quick moment, I saw his eyes.Those beautiful gray eyes that belonged to Knox.But it vanished very quickly, and was replaced by that ugly red and black.I froze, my heart pounding faster, and my hands shaking.The beast growled deeper this time, crouching lower, getting ready to strike.I flinched instinctively as fear overwhelmed me. This was dangerous, and I was risking a lot being this close.“Keep going, Aria” Viktor said, without taking his eyes off the monster. “It’s working. You saw it, didn’t you? He’s in there.”‘Mate needs us,’ Rhea said firmly in my head.I nodded slowly. “Knox… I know you can hear me.”I took another step.“You told me once you didn’t deserve a mate like me,” I whispered. “But I never believed that because I know you. Beneath everything, you’re a good man.”The beast twitched.“Remember the first time I came to your pack?” I asked, “You started avoiding me because you were scared of hurting me.”His ears flicked.I continued. “But look ho

Chapter: Chapter 34Eric's POVThe drive back was torture.I had my hands on the steering wheel, my eyes were on the road, but my mind wasn’t here.All I could see was the wide pool of dark dried blood. The rogues, mangled and torn. Her scent.It played over and over again like a cursed video that I couldn’t shut off.I gripped the wheel tighter until my knuckles went white.Iris.Had she crawled away to safety? Or was she truly gone?The thought made my throat close up.I tried to shove it away, but Evie’s face flashed through my mind next.Her small, cold body lying in that casket.I blinked rapidly, clenching my jaw so hard it hurt.I had failed her, and now…I had failed Iris too.Another image flashed through my mind. It was the last time I saw both of them. That night as Iris screamed after me as I drove away. She had begged me to stop, and help our dying daughter. I hadn’t even glanced back.A growl escaped my throat, and I slammed the brake.The tires screeched as the car came to a stop in the m

Chapter: Chapter 33Eric's POVI took a deep breath, slammed my foot back on the gas, and kept driving. I didn’t know what the hell Marcus found, but it had to be something, for my wolf to react.I reached the pack’s border in under seven minutes. Marcus’s car was already parked at the side. I parked, and stepped out of the car.Marcus stood at the edge of the pack border with two patrol guards beside him.“What is it?” I demanded as I approached. “Why the hell did you call me at two-thirty in the morning?”Marcus turned, and dread crept through me as I saw the grave look in his eyes.“We picked up the scent of rogues a mile ,” he said. “The patrol team tracked it. We might need to shift because cars can't go in, and walking will take hours.”I nodded, silently giving him the go-ahead.After shifting, Marcus turned and began walking out of the pack border. I followed in my wolf form, my heart pounding in my chest.We began to increase pace, and soon, we began running through the woods. I lost track of ho

Chapter: Chapter 32Eric's POV I grabbed my jacket, throwing it over my shoulders as I headed for the door.“Where are you going?” Zara’s voice caught me mid-step.I didn’t stop moving. I struggled to put on my shoes, trying to wear one while hopping on one foot.“Marcus found something,” I muttered.She sat up, narrowing her eyes at the clock. “Eric, it’s past two in the morning.”“I know,” I said, finally getting my foot in. I grabbed the other shoe, put it on with a grunt. “That’s why I need to go. If he’s calling me at this hour, it’s not something that can wait.”Zara pushed the blanket off her legs and stood up slowly, arms crossed. “What exactly did he find?”“I don’t know,” I said impatiently. “He just said I needed to come see it myself.”She narrowed her eyes. “That’s not clear enough. What if it’s nothing important?”I shrugged, running a hand through my hair. “Then I’ll find out and come back. I’ll call you later.”Her lips parted like she wanted to argue, but before she could speak, the bed

Chapter: Chapter 31Eric’s POVI couldn’t sleep.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw EvieShe looked so pale and was still, wrapped in that blanket with her unicorn placed beside her. Her favourite unicorn that she had offered to Tiffany. That image had burned itself into my memory, and now it played over and over like a loop in my mind.I turned to the other side of the bed, trying to calm my mind, but it was impossible.The time was 2am according to the clock on the wall.Zara was sleeping beside me, breathing steadily and peacefully. She was totally unbothered, unlike me.I stared at the ceiling for a few more minutes, then I sat up and reached for my phone.I had to do something, anything, even if it was too late.I scrolled to Beta Jeremy’s contact and hit dial.He picked up on the third ring with a groggy voice. “Alpha?”“I need a proper burial arranged,” I said quietly. I glanced at the sleeping Zara and lowered my voice. “For Evie”There was silence for a moment. “For… Evie?” he asked slowly, like

Chapter: Chapter 30Iris’s POVSomething fluttered in my chest, and for a second, I didn’t know how to breathe as a sudden warmth spread through me.I looked away immediately. A part of me wanted to question what he meant, but another part was terrified of the answer, because I wasn’t sure I was ready to hear it just yet.“I haven’t thanked you,” I said quietly. “For everything. For bringing me here, for making sure I was treated. You didn’t owe me anything, and I… I really am grateful.”Rowan nodded, then he stood up, and the weight in the air shifted, like whatever spell had passed between us had lifted.He picked up the tray and gathered the empty plate and cup. “You need rest,” he said softly. “I’ll send Jasmine to bring your medicine later.”I nodded again. My throat still felt tight.It was absurd seeing him, an Alpha, carrying a tray with my empty plates. But he didn’t seem bothered in any way.Rowan paused at the door. “And I’ll make sure Chloe stays away from you.”I blinked. “Where will you sta

Chapter: Chapter 29Iris’s POVThere was silence after Chloe left. I stared at the edge of the blanket covering my legs, feeling very awkward.I didn’t move. I wasn’t sure what to say, or if I was supposed to say anything at all.Rowan stood there for a moment, then he pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration as he released a deep breath, before turning toward me.His eyes softened almost immediately, but I still couldn’t forget the sharpness I had seen a few moments ago.I had seen the Alpha side of him for the first time, and it was unforgettable. I ignored the tingling running down my spine at that thought.He walked to the single armchair that Jasmine had sat in earlier. He dragged it slightly closer to the bed before sitting down.“Are you alright?” he asked, his voice was quiet.I nodded slowly, completely unsure of what I should say. The truth was that I wasn’t really fine. But I didn’t want to talk about Chloe, or what she had said.He watched me carefully, as if he was looking for any sign
