I loved him. I always will.
Jayden; my Crown Kent, my fated mate, my downfall.
That was before he chose a crown over my soul. Before the man who claimed me in the dark shattered me in the light, publicly choosing another.
Five years and a magical curse later, I’ve built a new life. A new kingdom. But he’s back, a commanding CEO standing in my boardroom. He doesn’t remember our past, our passion, or the children who have his eyes.
He looks at me like a stranger, but the bond between us ignites, an unspoken pull that defies his memory and his wedding ring.
He’s a husband and a father to a son with another woman.
And me? I’m the mother of his forgotten twins.
To protect my children, I might have to fight the man I still love. Or worse, become the monster he was always taught to hate.

I had Palmer pinned beneath me, driving him into the concrete floor with brutal force. Each impact sent spider web cracks spreading across the surface. Jasmine's desperate voice cut through my rage like a blade.


"Jayden! Stop this! You're going to kill him!"

Abner's growl rumbled through my throat, savage and possessive. He despised hearing her voice break for another male, especially one bold enough to challenge our claim on her.


My fist drew back, ready to deliver the final blow, when Palmer's body began to convulse. His human form dissolved as his beast tore through flesh and bone. Smoky gray fur erupted across his expanding frame while razor-sharp claws extended from massive paws. Elongated fangs gleamed as his wolf-like muzzle split into a menacing snarl.
