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.


"Why would he do this to me?" The words came out as a broken whisper against my father's chest. "I thought we had an understanding. I thought he actually wanted this."

"Kermit?" Luna Estelle's voice cut through the suffocating silence of the nearly empty hall.


I peeled my tear-stained face away from father's shirt and looked up to see him walking through the entrance. His expression was carved from ice, completely detached from everything around him.


My blood turned cold as I watched him approach. He actually came. After three agonizing hours of waiting. After every single guest had given up and left in embarrassment.
