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.


Minutes later, I stepped out of the patient's room with my mind spinning in circles. Ariya stood waiting near the corridor wall, her sharp eyes studying every detail of my expression.


"Have you been crying?" Her brow furrowed with concern.


I wiped my nose quickly, forcing my head to shake. "The patient and I just had a brief conversation."


"What exactly did he tell you? Did you actually treat him? I'm still confused because Solace swore she was the one who helped him."


The weight of deception pressed against my chest. I had to start covering my tracks if I wanted to survive this mess.


"Solace was right. When I was making my rounds yesterday, I only did a quick check on Mr. Joseph. I had no idea he was already waking up. Solace must have already worked her healing on him by then. Since I was the first doctor he saw when he opened his eyes, he naturally assumed I was his healer." The lies rolled off my tongue with disturbing ease.
