To be rejected by your fated mate is to be marked for death. Sloane Thorne has the scar to prove it. A rejection mark from Crew Harding, the boy who spent their entire lives tormenting her before destroying her in front of the entire pack. He murders her family, steals everything, and leaves her with a cursed mark that's slowly killing her. Three months later, she's hiding under a fake name when she collides with Kai Volkov. The Ice King. A second mate bond snaps into place. He sees Crew's mark on her skin. Assumes she's a spy and rejects her immediately. But Kai can't stay away. The bond won't let him. He takes her captive, swears it's for answers, but obsession doesn't need an excuse. Every touch sets them on fire. Every stolen glance is a war neither can win. Then Kai discovers what Crew has been hunting. What Sloane's family died protecting. What's been sleeping inside her all along. And suddenly, she's not just his mate. She's the weapon that could destroy them all. Now Crew wants her back. Collared, caged and his. But Kai Volkov doesn't share what's his. And Crew is about to learn that the hard way. But Sloane? She's done being claimed by Alphas who think she's theirs to break. Blood will spill. Alphas will fall. The question is whether she'll survive long enough to watch.

Mis propias empleadas me cancelaron en redes. Dicen que la guardería gratuita que les ofrezco para sus hijos es una cárcel y que lo que yo quiero es obligarlas a quedarse hasta tarde. Pero ellas no tienen ni idea: esa guardería la monté desde cero, trayendo equipo y personal de afuera, con una inversión de alrededor de 800 dólares por niño al mes. Aun así, en redes sociales me están destrozando: que si es puro show, que si soy "capitalista asquerosa", que si es pura pose. Se me fue la cabeza y mandé un comunicado a toda la empresa: "Con el fin de atender la solicitud de mayor flexibilidad en el cuidado infantil, la empresa ha decidido cancelar el beneficio de la guardería gratuita. A partir de hoy, este beneficio se sustituye por un apoyo mensual para el cuidado infantil: las madres que cumplan con los requisitos recibirán 20 dólares al mes." Lo envié y explotó todo. En cuestión de minutos, se desató el caos. Ahora tienen ocupado el pasillo frente a mi oficina. Me están pidiendo, por favor, que no cierre la guardería.
