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 heated debate dragged on endlessly, with lower-ranking Alphas hurling accusations at their superiors. My patience finally snapped, and I raised my hand to silence the chaos.


"Anthony," I addressed the high-ranking Alpha at the center of this mess. "You understand that Kylan's bloodline built this enterprise from nothing, correct? If circumstances were different and you faced losing everything you'd sacrificed for, how would that sit with you?"


Anthony squirmed in his chair, avoiding direct eye contact. "Your Majesty, I comprehend your perspective completely. Part of me genuinely regrets having to strip this from him. However, this is rightfully mine by birthright. My father was a fool who lacked ambition and simply handed it away. I'm reclaiming what should never have been lost. I've even offered Kylan compensation if my current proposal doesn't satisfy him. I believe I'm being more than reasonable."
