Chapter: PART TWO: Chapter 1Jasmine’s POV THREE MONTHS LATER Three months since I discovered Lucas was my mate. Three months of pretending I hadn’t. And apparently, three months was exactly how long it took for a person to lose their mind. I stared at the training dummy in front of me, breathing heavily as sweat trickled

Chapter: Chapter 386Jasmine's POV I watched Rowan pull Iris closer to him and adjust the blanket over her with one arm.

Chapter: Chapter 385Iris’s POVAbout twenty minutes later, Jasmine appeared in the doorway.She looked different from the last time I had properly seen her.

No yelling.Then light came.It was bright and gentle.I was standing in a room that looked familiar in a way that made my chest tighten.Evie's room.I knew it immediately. The same pink walls.

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 210Aria’s POVTWO MONTHS LATERThe Naming Rite ceremony for our daughter was today. The pack main hall was decorated with flowers and candles, while music played softly in the background.Our newborn daughter lay in my arms wearing a white ceremonial dress. She was sleeping peacefully. She had dark hair and gray eyes, just like Knox.I glanced around the crowd. I could see Viktor, Lilith, and their son. They had named him Kieran. He was tiny, swaddled in black and silver blanket.Lilith passed Kieran to Viktor. He stiffened, carrying the fragile child, looking both proud and terrified, which was actually funny to watch on a vampire lord’s face.Knox grumbled in my head through our mate bond. ‘I can’t believe we went to a vampire’s naming rite, and now they’re here for ours. This is insane.’We had marked each other last month, and the connection between us had grown stronger every day.I chuckled internally, replying through our bond. ‘Well, they did save our lives. So…’‘Whatever,’ he re

Chapter: Chapter 209Aria’s POVHazel unwrapped the bandages slowly, revealing burns and cuts that looked very painful. I placed my hands over the damaged skin and let my healing magic flow through her.The warmth spread from my hands into her wounds. The skin began to knit itself back together, the horrible red burns fading to pink, then to normal skin tone. Within minutes, her skin looked like nothing had ever happened.“Holy shit,” Hazel breathed, staring at her healed hands in amazement. “That’s fucking incredible.”“You’re a fucking miracle worker,” Hazel said, touching her face in wonder.I still had lots of energy when I was done. “I’m okay,” I told Knox before he could protest. “Let’s keep going.”Hunter was next. His shoulder wound was more serious. He had deep puncture marks that had gotten infected. I spent more time on him, carefully healing the infection first, then sealing the wounds. When I finished, he could move his arm without pain for the first time in days.“Thank you, Luna,” he said,

Chapter: Chapter 208Aria’s POVThere was silence for a while, then I sighed.“What happened?” I asked. “After I collapsed, I mean.”Mama Felz leaned back in her chair. “After you did your whole magical healing thing with Knox and passed out, the beast transformed back into Knox.”She paused, rubbing her temples. “It was like watching someone wake up from a fucking nightmare. One second he’s a raging monster, the next he’s just Knox, looking so fucking confused and covered in blood.”“And everyone else?”“Hazel’s in another room,” Mama Felz said. “She took the worst of the magical backlash when the ritual circle exploded. Burns on her hands and face, but she’ll heal. Witches heal faster than humans, thankfully.”“Hunter? Shawn?”“Both unconscious, but they’ll fucking live. That Beta of yours took a bite to the shoulder that needed serious stitching, and Shawn’s got a nasty concussion. But they’re alive.”I closed my eyes, relief washing over me.A nurse came in before I could ask more questions. She check

Chapter: Chapter 207Aria’s POVKnox and I broke apart. I turned to see Jade standing there, her arms crossed, looking at us with an amused expression.Knox immediately loosened his grip on me, stepping back slightly. His body tensed instantly, and his eyes darkened. “Who are you?” He growled.I gestured at her. “That’s Jade.”He lifted an eyebrow. “What are you doing here?”But Jade waved her hand dismissively. “Don’t worry, wolf king. I’m here on important business.”Then Knox was gone.One moment he was standing beside me, and the next, he simply vanished. I reached for him, but there was nothing. Just me and Jade in this strange realm.“What’s going on?” I asked, looking around desperately. “Where did Knox go?”Jade shrugged with an unreadable expression on her face. “Don’t know. This is your mind, not mine. He’s probably going back to his body. That’s what matters.”I turned to face her fully, and something in her eyes made my stomach drop. There was a weight in her expression.“Jade, what is it?” I

Chapter: Chapter 206Aria's POVHe ran straight at us with terrifying speed, his claws tearing up the ground with each step. The shadows around him writhed violently.Lilith’s grip on my wrist tightened painfully. “Aria—”Rhea's soft voice echoed in my head. ‘Mate.’Instantly, something strange washed over me. It was a calmness I couldn’t explain. Like my body knew something my mind didn’t understand yet.My feet moved before I could think.I stepped forward and walked straight through the barrier. To my surprise, I passed through it easily, like it wasn’t even there. The magic parted for me without resistance.“Aria!” Lilith screamed behind me. “What the hell are you doing?!”I didn’t answer. I just stood there in the open, facing the charging beast.The baby kicked hard inside me, like he was trying to tell me something.“We love you, Knox,” I said quietly, placing my hand on my belly.The beast was twenty feet away.Fifteen feet.Ten feet.Then, suddenly, he slowed down.His pace became uneven, like he

Chapter: Chapter 205Aria’s POVFour witches remained outside the circle, continuing their attack on Agnes, trying to keep her from interfering with the ritual.A witch with short white hair sent ice shards flying at Agnes. Another witch, a man with a scarred face, sent a blast of red energy. A third witch created a whirlwind that attacked her from all sides.Agnes’s body flickered violently. She was barely visible now, like a ghost. Her face was twisted in rage and desperation.“No... no, you can’t...” she gasped, her voice fading.The eight witches around the circle chanted louder, their voices rising together and their magic intensified. Their magic burned brighter and brighter until it was almost painful to look at.I could see Knox fighting from inside. His massive body shook violently, and muscles twitched under his dark fur. The red-black eyes flickered rapidly. Red. Gray. Red-black. Gray again. Red. Back to red-black.Both Knox and Fenrir were in there, fighting to break through the curse’s hold.

Chapter: Chapter 120Willow’s POVWith Mordecai gone, Noah brought up another memory. This one was about the time we had snuck extra bread from the kitchens and gotten caught by one of the cooks halfway back to my room.“You dropped half of it running,” he said, a small laugh escaping him. “I still don’t understand how. You weren’t even being chased that hard.”“I was terrified,” I defended. “She had a wooden spoon and she knew how to use it.”“You were laughing the whole time.”“I was laughing after. But while I was running, I was praying.”He laughed properly at that, and I found myself smiling too.“You still owe me for that bread, by the way,” he added. “I never got to eat my share.”“You dropped yours too.”“I dropped mine because you knocked into me.”“I did not knock into you. You tripped over your own feet.”“I was startled.”“You were clumsy.”For a few minutes, the conversation felt almost normal. It felt easy. It felt familiar in a way that unsettled me, like slipping back into an old habit I th

Chapter: Chapter 119Willow’s POV“Get out,” Mordecai said, his voice flat and hard.Noah struggled back to his feet with one hand pressed against the wall, wincing as he straightened up. He was clearly still in pain, but he made no move to walk towards the door.“I need to talk to Willow,” he said instead.Mordecai’s expression turned colder than I had ever seen it.“I love her,” Noah said louder this time, like saying it again would make it matter more. “I’ve always loved her, and I’m not leaving without trying to get her back.”Mordecai took one step toward him.I reached for his arm on instinct. “Mordecai.”He stopped.I felt Noah’s eyes on the two of us, on the way Mordecai had gone still the second I touched him.This wasn’t the first time it had happened, and Noah clearly noticed that too.Mordecai growled. “I want him to leave.”“Please, Noah,” I pleaded, softer now. “Go.”He stared at me like he genuinely couldn’t understand why I would choose this over him, over Pinecrest, over everything I used

Chapter: Chapter 118Willow’s POVThis was the last thing I had ever expected to happen to me today.I stood there, looking at Noah, trying to figure out what I was actually supposed to feel now that he was standing right in front of me.It felt bizarre. It was like looking at someone from a life I barely remembered. He was so familiar and so foreign at the same time, like I was looking at a photograph of someone I used to know rather than the man standing in front of me. My mind drifted to the last time I had seen him. He had been carrying Stacey away while I lay bleeding at the bottom of a staircase, my vision going dark, watching him choose her over me one final time.An ache moved through my chest at the memory.But it wasn’t the same ache as before. It wasn’t the crushing pain that used to swallow me whenever that memory replayed. The wound was still there, but it didn’t control me anymore.I studied him properly now. There were dark, heavy circles under his eyes, and stubble covered his jaw, making

Chapter: Chapter 117Noah’s POVI couldn’t process that she was actually standing in front of me.For weeks I had imagined this moment in a dozen different ways.In some scenarios, Willow would see me and would run straight into my arms, crying, and I would hold her and spin her around the way I used to when things were okay between us.Other times I imagined her furious, slapping me, screaming every name she could think of before finally breaking down against my chest while I apologized for everything.I had prepared myself for anger.I had prepared myself for tears.I had prepared myself for hatred.But I had not prepared myself for indifference.Willow stared at me for a few seconds, clearly shocked to see me standing there. Then the surprise faded, and she simply tilted her head.“Oh. Hi, Noah.”And then she turned away from me.I stood there, completely befuddled.Before I could process what had just happened, she had already turned her attention to Hela, like my arrival wasn’t that important anymore

Chapter: Chapter 116Noah’s POVI stood frozen, unable to move or form a single word.Willow was standing right there in front of me, alive.I had spent weeks imagining every possible version of what I might find when I finally reached Blood Moon, and none of them had prepared me for this.I had expected her to look broken. Thinner. Weaker. Frightened, carrying the same exhausted look she had worn during her final days at Pinecrest, after how I had betrayed her. Instead she looked healthier than I had ever seen her in all the years I had known her. There was color in her face, strength in the way she carried herself, something bright in her eyes I hadn’t seen since before we ever had to start hiding what we were to each other.She looked beautiful.My relief at seeing her breathing, standing, whole, was almost overwhelming.Before I could move or speak, Mordecai let out a slow breath and looked toward her.“You’re not supposed to be here,” he murmured.I wanted to warn her. She was standing in front of the

Chapter: Chapter 115Noah’s POVThe man didn’t look as scary as the woman beside me, but he didn’t need to. His presence alone commanded the entire room without effort.Two people knelt on the floor in front of him, both clearly terrified. One was crying, her shoulders shaking with quiet, broken sobs. The other was trembling so violently I could see it from across the room.The man’s eyes moved to me. There was no expression on his face. Just calm.I straightened, forcing myself to find whatever composure I had left.“Alpha Mordecai, I—”“I am not Alpha Mordecai.”The words cut through my sentence flatly.I paused, thrown off entirely.“I’m the Beta.”It took my brain a full second to process that.The Beta.If he was only the Beta, then why was his aura so powerful? Did that mean that the scarred woman was the Gamma?So where in the hell was Alpha Mordecai?Before I could ask, the doors behind me opened.And every scrap of confidence I had carefully rebuilt on the walk here disappeared instantly.Alpha
