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 tension in my muscles coiled tighter as my hand formed a fist inside my jacket pocket. Every instinct screamed at me to drive my knuckles into Bradley's smug face.


"Just days, Kermit. That's all you get," Bradley's voice carried the weight of long-held resentment. "Contact the Elders and our Pack members. Tell them you're relinquishing your position and passing leadership to me. Do this willingly, and we can avoid unnecessary bloodshed. Refuse, and I guarantee you'll watch everything you've built crumble into chaos."


I closed the distance between us with measured steps, my composure never wavering despite the fury burning beneath my skin.


"Bradley, we both understand exactly why you're still breathing right now."


My voice dropped to a dangerous whisper. "Long ago, when I had you at my mercy, I could have ended your life instead of locking you away. But I chose differently. You know precisely why."
