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 hospital shift dragged on endlessly. Every minute felt like an eternity as I checked vital signs and recorded patient data. Ariya still treated me like a fragile newcomer, refusing to assign anything remotely challenging. After several weeks of proving myself, I remained stuck with the most mundane tasks.


My entire body ached as I finally clocked out. The only thing on my mind was a hot shower and collapsing into bed. But as I approached my door, Ryder materialized from the shadows like he always did.


"Alpha Kermit needs you to accompany him to a meeting. Soon." His tone was apologetic, but the message was clear.


My heart sank. "Are you serious right now?"


"I tried explaining you'd be exhausted from your shift, but he wouldn't hear it."


The frustration building in my chest threatened to explode. Without another word, I spun around and marched toward Kermit's office. Empty. Of course. I headed straight for his bedroom, my anger growing with each step.
