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 raised an eyebrow at her but remained silent.


"There's something you're hiding from all of us. I might not know exactly what it is, but I can sense it surrounding you like a bad smell." She made an exaggerated sniffing motion.


"Something stinks about you. I've always felt it every single time I look at you. And if you ever sit on that throne," she gestured toward the empty seat of power on the elevated platform, "it will bring nothing but chaos."


I lifted my shoulders in an indifferent gesture. "I have no idea what you're referring to, Laura."


"Oh, but we both know that's a lie." She spun around to face the elders.


"You cannot allow him on that throne. You have to stop this from happening. I'm warning you all, if Kermit Shadowmere becomes our ruler, he will bring devastation to our people. He's completely wrong for this position. Absolutely wrong." Her gaze darkened as she turned back to me. "And he's fully aware of it."
