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 color drained from Solace's face as realization crashed over her like a tidal wave. Her mouth opened and closed soundlessly, the weight of her catastrophic mistake settling in her eyes.

"Lucien was right all along. There was never a pregnancy."


My hand connected with her cheek before she could finish. The sharp crack echoed through the room as her head snapped sideways, crimson immediately blooming at the corner of her mouth.


"You've forfeited the right to speak my name." My fingers clamped around her jaw with bruising force. "Say it again, and I'll rip out your tongue."


I shoved her away as though she were contaminated waste, then turned toward Tonia. Guilt and anxiety warred across her delicate features.
