Tonia Alexa lived a life of scorn. Mocked for the scar that marred her face, her own mate cast her aside the second he secured his power, leaving her shattered and convinced she was unlovable.
Then came a single night with a stranger. He was the first man who didn’t see her scar, the first to make her feel desired.
That one night was a secret they both carried. For Tonia, he was a dream. For him—the ruthless Alpha King Kermit—she was the only woman who had ever given him release, an obsession he couldn’t forget.
Five years later, she’s forced into a marriage contract with that very same man. Just as his cold exterior begins to thaw, a devastating lie rips them apart. His memories of her are stolen, and the man who once desired her now sees only a traitor.
Tonia wants to flee. But with her stolen children’s lives on the line, she has to fight. To reclaim her family, she must face a world of dark power and deception, ruled by the man who holds her heart but no longer remembers her name.


I walked down the hallway toward Tonia's room, my footsteps echoing against the hardwood floors.


When I pushed open her door, her face lit up instantly. Those emerald eyes sparkled with a brightness that never failed to catch me off guard, as if someone had scattered diamonds across her gaze.


"Hey," she mumbled through a bite of food, quickly swallowing.


I forced a smile, though it felt strained as I leaned against the doorframe. My hands found their way into my pockets, a nervous habit I'd developed over the years.


Standing there, I couldn't help but reflect on how dramatically our bond had shifted over these past months. Initially, I'd resented the idea of being mated to her. Then came that period of burning jealousy when I'd convinced myself she'd been intimate with Chad. Now, the thought of being separated from her created an ache in my chest that threatened to consume me entirely.
