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.


The Chairman's voice boomed across the arena as he outlined the trial parameters for the assembled Alphas. My stomach twisted into knots as he detailed what lay ahead.


Each Alpha would be isolated in individual chambers where they'd face a grueling test of endurance and raw power. The duration sent shockwaves through the spectators when announced - seventy full minutes. The collective intake of breath from the crowd made the enormity of the challenge crystal clear.


Surrender was permitted at any point, the Chairman explained, but would result in immediate elimination from the competition.


Just imagining the ordeal ahead left me feeling drained. How could anyone possibly endure such punishment for that length of time?


My chest tightened with concern for Kermit.


The trial commenced simultaneously. All four Alphas were escorted to their designated chambers while massive screens allowed us to witness every moment of their struggle.
