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.

"You have to tell me what happened, Tonia. Why are these people hunting you? I can't protect you if I don't understand what we're dealing with."


The breath left my lungs in a shaky exhale. He was absolutely right. If I expected his help, he deserved the truth.


The words felt like poison on my tongue. I was about to expose a secret that could destroy everything, but I had no other option.


"It happened three years ago in Axisvale. That's where I met Lorelei and gave birth to the twins." I decided to skip those details since they weren't relevant to Lucien's question.
