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.


Sleep found me wrapped in Kermit' protective embrace, but even then, peace remained elusive. My dreams twisted into nightmares where I stood completely alone, the entire world turned against me with hatred burning in their eyes. The terror followed me into consciousness when urgent knocking shattered the morning quiet.


I stirred to find the bed cold and empty beside me. Kermit had slipped away while I slept, probably handling the countless responsibilities that came with his new crown. The coronation night would have kept him busy until dawn.


The knocking persisted, sharp and demanding. I slid from beneath the covers but hesitated near the door, my heart hammering against my ribs. Something about the aggressive rhythm made my skin crawl.


"I know you're hiding in there, Tonia. Open this door immediately. We have urgent business to discuss."


Luna Estelle's voice cut through the wood like a blade.
