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.


"She's showing improvement compared to weeks ago. With proper care, she should continue recovering," Doctor Katherine concluded her assessment of Valarie's condition.


Through the window, I observed Valarie's motionless figure on the hospital bed. Sleep brought her the only peace she knew these days. If only her waking hours held the same tranquility.


"Thank you, Katherine. Keep me informed of any changes."


I left the medical wing and found Tonia waiting in the car.


As I reached for the ignition, Tonia's warm hand covered mine, stopping me.


"She will recover, Kermit. We managed to save her life. We'll arrange for prosthetic hands when she's ready. We'll ensure she receives the best care possible. She will heal."


I exhaled slowly, letting my head fall against the headrest.
