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.


When I finished my meal, a doctor entered to examine my injuries. She brought fresh clothing and applied healing ointment to my wounds with gentle hands.


The irony wasn't lost on me. I could drain pain from others with a simple touch, yet remained powerless against my own suffering. That was the cruel reality of being a Siphon. We existed to heal everyone except ourselves.


The doctor was still tending to my bandages when Kermit returned.


His shirt clung to his muscled frame, drenched in sweat. He looked like he'd been pushing himself hard in the gym or running for miles.


Gia immediately rose from her chair beside my bed, her expression stormy.


"You should listen to me, Tonia. Come stay in my room instead."


She let out an exasperated breath. "Fine. I'm leaving then. I'll check on you later." She departed with the children, who had already rushed to embrace Kermit upon his arrival.
