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 storm clouds had rolled in faster than expected, forcing us to ground our flight back to Shadowpeak. We found rooms at a nearby hotel, and I spent the evening briefing Ryder and Maximus on why tracking down the scarred woman had become our absolute priority.


The revelation that she was a Siphon still felt impossible to process. Something so forbidden, so dangerous. And I had been intimate with her. Had fallen completely under her spell.


The question that kept twisting in my gut was whether she might be collaborating with my brother. The possibility ate at me, making sleep an impossibility as I stared at the hotel ceiling through the dark hours.


When morning came, we caught the first available flight to Shadowpeak. Only when we touched down did thoughts of Tonia surface again, along with the hollow realization that she was not waiting for me at home.
