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 sound of Rosalyn's voice pierced through the morning air as she spotted me entering the kitchen.


"Daddy!" Her excitement was infectious, and I felt my chest warm at her enthusiasm.


What caught my attention immediately was the way Tonia's cheeks flushed the moment our eyes met. That familiar pink tint spread across her nose like wildfire. This reaction of hers was becoming a pattern, one that both intrigued and frustrated me in equal measure.


A bitter thought crept into my consciousness: Did her skin flush the same way when Chad's hands were on her?


I shoved that poisonous idea aside, determined not to let it ruin this morning.


Moving toward the children, I scooped Bruce into my embrace and pressed my lips to the top of Rosalyn's head, breathing in her sweet scent.


"Good morning, Alpha," Tonia murmured, her voice barely above a whisper as she dipped her head respectfully.


The pink flush had now spread to her ears.
