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.


His words hit me like a physical blow, leaving me speechless and reeling. I stared at him, my mouth hanging open in complete disbelief.


"I'm sorry, what exactly did you just say?" My face twisted with confusion and shock.


"You heard every word. I apologize for how things ended between us. But I'm ready to change, to become the man you deserve. You know what I've accomplished, how much power I wield now. I can provide for you in ways I never could before. We can make this work better than it ever was."


The sheer arrogance in his tone made my blood boil. He spoke as if I should simply melt at his feet, as if his pretty words could erase the damage he'd inflicted on my heart. As if I hadn't seen the darkness that lived inside him.
