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 woke up with more energy than I'd had the night before. I started mentally organizing everything I needed to accomplish.


Since Father's arrangement with Shadowpeak had failed, I could safely return to Eldoria, couldn't I?


Eldoria was a human territory. There, I had employment, wonderful human companions, and caring neighbors. It was completely different from the chaotic and brutal werewolf world, and I desperately wanted to go back.


I decided to inform Father of my plans before today ended. I'd also finalize the mate bond severance with Sterling, then I'd be completely free. My life could return to being wonderful.


My spirits lifted with excitement as I got ready and chose to drive somewhere for breakfast. Sure, plenty of food was available at home, but I wanted to explore the Pack one final time.


My father's territory was truly lovely.
