Aria's POV

My mouth gaped open in a way that I knew wasn't really cute, but I was too shocked to care. I was speechless. What would an Alpha King want with an omega?

Unless he was trying to play me, just like Liam did.

It was getting really hard to think straight as his hand left my face and began to move down slowly.

I gasped as his hand began to trail down my neck, moving so close to my breast.

“Please stop,” I pleaded, my voice was breathy, and I was panting.

Knox's hand froze instantly, but he didn't remove it. His gray eyes darkened with concern.

“What is it, Aria?” He asked softly.

I almost moaned at the way my name rolled out of his tongue. I was so wet that I knew that he could probably smell my arousal.

I placed my hands on his chest and pushed him slightly. I could feel the hard muscles on his chest. I felt like running my hands over his chest, but I didn't let myself give in, no matter how hard the mate bond and Rhea wanted me to.

He stepped back and removed his hand that was still near my breast.

I released a deep breath as I tried to control myself.

“Aria?” His voice was low, and his eyes searched my face for answers.

I couldn't meet his eyes, so I kept my eyes on my feet instead.

“I am an omega, your majesty. An omega with nothing, not even a last name.” I said, my eyes still on my feet.

Knox growled in displeasure and stepped forward, but I held my hand out to stop him from getting too close, and he paused.

“Please, your majesty, let me finish.” I pleaded again, staring at his chest.

He clenched his jaw, but he nodded reluctantly.

“I was just rejected yesterday by my mate, Liam Reed, your nephew.” I revealed.

I felt tears welling up in my eyes as I remembered the pain from yesterday.

Knox stepped forward again, and I lifted my head to look at him. His eyes were soft and warm as he came closer to me slowly.

"Aria..." He said softly.

The tone of his voice broke down my walls, and everything I had been holding inside since Liam’s rejection poured out.

I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to stop the tears from pouring out, but it was useless. A sob escaped my throat, and I covered my face with my hands.

“Oh Aria…” Knox murmured softly.

He moved even closer, and this time, I didn’t stop him. He held me gently in his arms. 

At that point, I couldn't hold it. It was as if the dam broke, and I began to sob into his chest. I released all the pain and betrayal I had been trying to ignore since yesterday. Liam’s betrayal, rejection and humiliation, and now, the confusion about this new mate bond with Knox. It was all so overwhelming.

Knox's arms tightened around me as I cried. My tears were soaking his shirt, but he didn’t seem to care. He just kept holding me, stroking my hair gently and murmuring soft words that I couldn’t hear because of my sobbing.

“I’m sorry,” I said, pulling back from his chest, “I’m sorry for breaking down like this… I just—” My voice cracked, and I cleared my throat, trying to compose myself. “I didn’t mean to—”

“Shh,” he interrupted me softly. He brushed a tear from my cheek with his thumb. “You don’t have to apologize, Aria. You must have been through a lot. Let it out.”

I sniffled. I felt so embarrassed for breaking down like that in front of him. But he didn't seem to mind as he stepped back again to give me space.

“Liam... he was my mate, and I loved him”  I whispered. My voice was hoarse, “He was supposed to love me, he said he loved me. And then, he just—”

My voice broke again, and I shook my head, breathing deeply to stop the sob from coming out.

Knox clenched his jaw, and I saw his eyes flash with something.

“Liam is a fool,” he said. His voice was low, but it was firm. “He is a foolish boy who has no idea of the value of the treasure he has in front of him.”

I blinked in surprise. He sounded so angry and sincere.

“He rejected you, his true mate,” Knox continued. His gray eyes were intense as he spoke. “For what? For that fake bimbo? He doesn't know the value of what he gave up. I thank the moon goddess for what he did. Because now…” He stepped forward with a soft look in his eyes and he cupped my face gently. “Now, you’re here. With me.”

His words sent a shiver down my spine, and I felt my heart melt at the sincerity in his eyes. He wasn’t just saying this to make me feel better. He meant every word.

“I thought I was cursed,” Knox admitted, gazing at my eyes with an intense look that made my core ache. “I never thought I would ever have a mate. I had given up hope, I had prepared myself for a life alone. And then, you came along, my little miracle.” He brushed his thumb lightly against my cheek, and my breath caught.

I didn’t know what to say, but I could just feel how sincere Knox was. Hearing him call me his miracle made warmth fill my chest.

Knox smiled softly, running his thumb over my bottom lip.

“I don’t care that you’re an omega, Aria. I don’t care about what happened with Liam. All I care about is that you’re mine. And I’m not letting you go.” He said firmly.

His eyes were so intense, his words were so intense, everything about him was so intense. I swallowed hard.

Knox leaned in so close that his lips were just inches from mine. “Liam’s loss,” he murmured. I could feel his warm breath against my skin, “is my greatest gain.”

I felt a shiver of desire run through me at his words, and without hesitating, I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled him closer for a kiss.

Knox responded immediately. His arms wrapped around me as he kissed me back passionately. The kiss was unlike anything I had ever had before, even with Liam. Knox groaned against my lips in satisfaction, and it made my knees weak. His hands pulled me even closer as the kiss deepened.

I broke the kiss and gasped for breath as I leaned my forehead against his chest. 

“Thank you,” I whispered softly, against his chest.

He pressed a soft kiss to my forehead. “You don’t have to thank me, little angel. You’re mine now. And I take care of what’s mine.”

I smiled at the nickname. It was strange, but it made me feel so special. Like I wasn’t just a rejected omega. Like I really mattered.

  • A Night With The Alpha King: Rejected And Reclaimed   Chapter 6

    Aria's POV“So, what do we do now?” I asked.We were both sitting on my moth-eaten and thin bed that lay miserably on the floor. I felt embarrassed seeing that someone like him — the Alpha King — was sitting here, in a place so below him, because of someone like me, who was also below him.Knox didn't seem to mind, though. He stretched his long legs, and his body made my small room look even smaller.He looked completely comfortable, like it was the most comfortable place in the world.His eyes softened as he turned to face me with a warm smile and held my hand in his.He shrugged. “Well, what we do now, depends on you. But first, I think we need to fix this situation,” he said, tapping the bed with a playful smirk. “I’ve slept on rocks more comfortable than this.”I laughed softly, “It’s not that bad.”He raised an eyebrow and his smirk widened. “For an omega, maybe. But not for my mate.”His words made my heart skip a beat, but my smile faded quickly as I remembered how complicated

  • A Night With The Alpha King: Rejected And Reclaimed   Chapter 7

    Aria's POVI could feel their stares like needles on my skin.Now that the excitement of the party of the Alpha King had faded, the pack members had brought their attention back to me and whatever lies Veronica might have told them. There were so many looks of disgust and anger that I was almost scared of finding out what Veronica had actually said. Even if I didn't find out, I knew Claire would come find me and tell me what it was. So I ignored and avoided all the hostile glares as I went about my daily chores in the pack.It was late afternoon and I hadn't seen Claire yet, and I was getting slightly worried. Maybe I should go find her myself.Just as that thought flashed through my mind, I heard a familiar voice call from behind me.“Aria,” it was Claire. Finally.I turned to her with a small smile on my face. My smile froze immediately when I saw the look on her face. It was then I knew that something was wrong.Disgust was written all over her face; she was disgusted by me. My hea

  • A Night With The Alpha King: Rejected And Reclaimed   Chapter 8

    Aria's POVMy foster mother stared at me for a moment or two before she rolled her eyes.“Oh, it's you.” She said coolly. Then she stepped inside, leaving the door open.I didn't know if I should take that as an invitation to come in.“Close the fucking door behind you, will ya!” She ordered, and I quickly hurried in and closed the door.My foster mother, Felicia, AKA Mama Felz, was a tough woman in her sixties. She was barely 5 feet tall, but she was scarier than 6-foot-tall werewolves. Even though she was an omega, she was never intimidated by the other pack members. She loved minding her business, and she hated it when others didn't mind theirs.The other pack members learned from experience to just avoid her for their own peace of mind.“I thought you were one of those fucking gossips that have been troubling me since morning. What the fuck is their problem anyway?” She grumbled bitterly, as she plopped down on one of her worn-out couches.I stood silently as I waited for her to f

    Aria’s POV“My mate was Liam Reed, and he pleaded with me to keep it hidden because his parents would not approve.” I said with a bitter smile.Mama Felz snorted, but thankfully she didn’t say anything. Instead, she took a swig of the moon-fire whiskey.“He promised that when the time was right, he would reveal us as mates.”She snorted again, but this time she didn’t stay silent. “What a stinking load of wolf-piss! Only a fucking idiot would fall for that shit!”I pursed my lips at her indirect insult.“So tell me, did you reject him? Is that why his fake mate is spreading all these fucking lies about you?” She asked with an eager smirk on her face.I kept my gaze on the floor as I shook my head slowly. Mama Felz gasped dramatically.“No!” she gasped, “Don’t fucking tell me you fell for it! Oh no!”I bit my lips in embarrassment. Mama Felz was supposed to be comforting me, not make me feel worse. I thought bitterly to myself. Then again, what else was I expecting from Mama Felz?“Tha

    Aria’s POVMy door creaked, and immediately my eyes flew open. Adrenaline rushed through my veins, and my heart pounded in my chest, but I didn't move. I kept my back to the door and stayed silent.Soft footsteps approached where I lay on my bed, and I tensed slightly.My mind raced as several thoughts flashed through my head. Who was in my room? What were they here for? Maybe I could make a break for it by taking them by surprise. Maybe I should scream instead.A familiar deep voice chuckled in amusement. “Calm down, little angel”Immediately I heard his voice, my body relaxed. It was then my brain finally registered the familiar scent of peppermint and cedar.I released a deep sigh of relief as I turned to face him. My heart was racing, but this time it was for a different reason. Knox towered over my bed with an amused smirk on his face as he watched me.I gave him a half-hearted glare, though a small smile tugged on my lips.“Sneaking into my room in the middle of the night?” I te

    Aria's POV“Oh no, oh no,” I muttered under my breath, panic surging through me as I scanned left and right for an escape. I needed a miracle to get me out of here.Last night with Knox had filled me with happiness, but I was still painfully aware of the sneers and pointing fingers this morning. So, I had decided to avoid them as much as possible. I didn’t want anything to steal my joy.Liam and I had paused as we stared at each other from the opposite sides of a deserted hallway that was rarely used, which was exactly why I had followed it – to keep my distance from the others.Unfortunately, my decision had brought me to this horrible situation – face-to-face with my ex-mate, Liam Reed. Liam began walking towards me with a determined look in his eyes.Immediately, I whirled around and began walking back the way I came. I would rather face the pointing fingers and the sneers a million times than see Liam again.“Aria!” He called with a plea in his voice.I ignored him, and increased

    Aria’s POV“What do you think you’re doing, boy?” A cold, authoritative voice cut through the air.Liam flinched and jumped back as though my skin had burned him. Relief flooded through me as I heard that voice.Knox stood there, with a calm posture, but his gray eyes were burning with fury, like a thunderstorm. A chill ran down my spine at the fury in his gaze. He looked nothing like the soft Knox that I had been with a few hours ago.“Un… Uncle Knox,” Liam stammered with a shaky smile, stepping away from me slowly “I… I didn’t hear you come.”Knox’s eyes flashed with disgust as he gave him an icy look. “No, you didn’t, you were too busy harassing m–an omega.” Knox replied coldly.Knox had almost called me his mate. For some reason though, my heart clenched in pain as he called me an omega, even though I was the one that had asked him not to tell his family yet. He was just respecting my wishes.Liam released a shaky laugh. “Oh no, no, Uncle, you must be mistaken, I was just–”Knox t

    Aria's POVToday was Knox's last day in the Gray Moon pack, and that meant that it was mine also. Excitement flooded through me at that thought, and I snapped my eyes open.Knox squeezed himself by me, and was sleeping soundly. It never ceased to amaze me how he could sleep on my awful bed after being used to so much luxury.“Good morning, Knox.” I greeted him when he finally blinked his eyes open.He grinned the moment his gaze landed on mine, and his eyes brightened.“Good morning, little angel.” He murmured huskily.“How was your sleep?” I asked softly.His grin widened. “The best,” he replied, his gaze never leaving mine.His eyes gleamed with amusement when he saw my doubtful look. But I didn't say anything about his words.He stood up from the bed, and began putting on his clothes, while I sat up on the bed, and feasted my eyes on his naked body with a thrill.“You know,” he started with a dark voice, “If you keep on looking at me like that, I won't be leaving here anytime soon.

    Knox's POVIt was the worst feeling ever.That feeling of losing control, while you watch yourself doing pure evil.I could still feel it, the feeling of her flesh against my claws, and the warmth of her blood. I could still feel the horror in my bones when I realized it was her. Aria. My mate. My everything.And I hurt her.Fenrir roared inside me in pain, just as shattered and broken as I was. We were both drowning in guilt and rage. Rage at ourselves for what we had done to our mate. So we turned that rage outward.We tore through the vampires like savages, allowing our rage to take over as we decimated them. It was easier to rip them apart than face what we had done. It was easier to destroy them than think about the way Aria had cried out in pain because of us.No matter how much I tried to think, I didn’t know how it happened. One moment, we were all over each other, lost in passion. I was about to mark her. My fangs were hovering just above her skin…And then something snapped.

My heart dropped into my stomach.A vampire.Cornelius struggled against his grip, “I…I did…what you t…told me to…”My heart pounded in my chest as I realized that Cornelius and the vampire were working together. How?I clutched my belly tightly, as I struggled to breathe. My throat burned as I took in air.‘Please,’ I prayed silently to the moon goddess, ‘Please let my baby be okay. Please.’The vampire tilted his head, looking almost thoughtful as he glanced between Cornelius and I, then he nodded and released Cornelius.“Yes,” the vampire said smoothly, with a deep, cool voice, “Yes, you did everything.”My vision was turning dark. I was losing consciousness, no matter how much I fought to stay awake.Cornelius sighed in relief, holding his throat. He opened his mouth to speak, but the vampire raised a hand fluidly, cutting him off.“But you also did what you weren't told to.” The vampire added.Cornelius gaped. “Wha—”“Lord Vi

My baby.I braced for the pain, wishing I could tell Knox that I loved him no matter what.But the pain never came.Instead, a loud crash echoed through the hall as something massive slammed into the vampire with brutal force, throwing him against the wall so hard it cracked.I blinked in shock as the vampire released a cry of pain, with fear in his eyes.A creature with black fur and dancing shadows around its fur stood between me and the vampire with crimson eyes that were so familiar that my eyes welled up with tears.Fenrir.He released a deep growl. I could feel the vibration from the ground beneath me. The shadows danced around his large frame like a storm. He stood tall over everything, looking more like a demon than a wolf.The vampire staggered to his feet, snarling at him. But Fe

My vision blurred as I walked, and every breath I took burned my throat.I just needed to get to the clinic. Everything would be fine.Suddenly, a loud boom echoed through the halls, followed by screaming. The floor trembled under me.What the hell?My heartbeat increased in panic. I limped faster.Then I heard the sounds of growls, snarls, and more screams. They were getting closer now.My breath hitched as I perceived a scent that I had never smelled before, but I knew what it was. Blood. Death. Vampires.A door nearby slammed open, and a young pack member burst out, her eyes wide with terror. She came to a stop the moment she saw me.“L-Luna!” she gasped, rushing toward me.I tried to wave her off, but she reached for me anyway to steady me. “You’re bleeding so much, we need to—”“There’s no time,” I rasped, holding her arm. “You need to run.

    Aria’s POV“No, I’m not running away,” I muttered, turning back.‘You’re a fool!’ Jade roared in my head, her voice was filled with frustration and panic. ‘You’re bleeding out, and you're choosing this?!’“Maybe,” I whispered, my voice shook, and my throat felt raw. “But I’m not leaving him.”Jade snapped, ‘And how do you think you’re going to help him?! Huh?! With what, exactly?! Love and prayers?’I opened my mouth to answer… but nothing came out.I didn’t know what I could do, that was the truth, but all I knew was that he needed me.But it was Rhea who answered.Her voice was soft but firm. ‘Mate needs us.’That was her only response. Jade groaned. “Please kill me.”I took another step towards Knox, then another. My body felt weak from the blood loss, but I didn't stop.Knox was still on his knees, groaning, and shaking violently. His eyes were still changing colours as he fought for control. The black veins were stretched throughout this body now.“Knox,” I whispered.No response

    Aria’s POV“K…K..nox?” I stammered, trying to inch away, but that was impossible as he had me pinned to the bed.He snarled at me, his eyes were changing colour. They were not the shade of red that I was familiar with. It was like an odd mixture of dark red and black.“F..Fen..Fenrir?”He released a menacing growl, and lifted his hand. I gasped in horror as I watched his hands and fingers change into claws.I quickly brought my knee up, successfully slamming it between his legs.Knox cried out in pain, and I used that split second to scramble out from beneath him, shifting to the other end of the bed.He recovered fast, snarling at me with pure hatred. I watched his canines elongate, and saliva dripped down his mouth.“K…K-Knox?” I stammered again even though I knew that it wasn’t Knox looking back at me, or even Fenrir. That thing was not my mate.‘Mate,’ Rhea's voice whimpered in my head, but I ignored it. I needed to focus, to get out of here alive.I kept my eyes on him. He was st

    Aria’s POV“I have to be honest with you, Aria. I was very reluctant. Even when I remembered, I pretended not to.” Knox said softly, staring into my eyes.My heart clenched in my chest as his words. “Why?” I asked, trying to keep my voice from breaking. I had also remembered, but there had been so many things coming up that had stopped me from asking him about it.“Because I was scared. I felt like I would be tying you down, when you didn’t really know the kind of person I really was. I…” he trailed off with a sigh.I waited patiently for him to talk, ignoring the burning ache in my lower regions.“I…I thought you might want to leave me if you found out the horrible things I have done.” he said, averting his eyes from mine.I raised my hand and held his face, feeling his stubble against my palm, making him look back at me. “And now?” I asked softly.He smiled, his eyes glinted with love. “Now? Now I know that I was very stupid to think that.”My lips twitched, “And what are you going

    Aria’s POVI was almost skipping as we finally walked back to our quarters. It was almost impossible to control the wide grin on my face as I hummed in bliss.“Can you stop doing that?” Knox asked with exasperation in his voice.My grin widened. “I can’t help it! My plan worked more than I actually expected it to!” I exclaimed.Knox let out a sigh of exasperation, but his lips twitched slightly.“Come on, don’t tell me that you’re not happy about what happened out there!” I threw my hands up, almost smacking Knox’s face.He gently pushed my hand away, “It's not a big deal, Aria.”I gaped, my eyes widened in disbelief. “Not a big deal?! Seriously?! Not only did the children get comfortable with you, but did you see the look on their parents’ faces when they saw you seated on the ground, playing chess with their children?”He shrugged, trying to look nonchalant, but I knew it was just an act. After our discussion in his office about Viktor and his mate, Knox had been tense and distant.

    Aria’s POVAs we walked through the hallway, a few pack members walked past us, bowing their heads in greeting.“Alpha, Luna,” one of them greeted with a polite nod.I smiled warmly. “Good evening.”Knox said nothing.I elbowed him after the pack member left. “Knox,” I mumbled under my breath. “You should have said something.”He grunted.I sighed. “At least nod?”He scowled at me, before turning to the next person we passed. His nod was so stiff that it looked painful.I rolled my eyes. “And maybe try smiling?”Knox scoffed. “I don’t feel like smiling at people, Aria.”“Well, you have to.”Another pack member greeted us. I smiled as I replied in greeting. Knox lifted his lips slightly. It looked less like a smile and more like a grimace.I blinked. “What was that?”“A smile,” he said flatly.I stared at him, then shook my head. “No, that was terrifying.”He shrugged. “That’s the best I can do.”I groaned in exasperation. “You’re hopeless.”He smirked, clearly pleased with himself for
