He rejected her in front of two packs. Then he bit her and left her for dead. Sloane Merrick wasn't supposed to survive. Rejected mates don't, and a reject's bite is worse. But she did survive - harder, colder, and suddenly Alpha of the pack that humiliated her. Two years later, Rhys Calloway comes home. He expects an apology, a place at the table, maybe a mourning mate still waiting. He gets a hallway of wolves who take orders from a woman who no longer flinches, and a shut door that won't open for him. But the shifter council is watching, and two broken packs aren't enough to keep the borders. On a mission to the ruins of the treaty village, Sloane and Rhys have to fight shoulder to shoulder again, and every mistake he made is out loud between them. He wants his bond. She wants a bond worth having. Somewhere in the ash between the two, something new is going to have to be built - and only one of them gets to be Alpha.

Maëlys a été témoin d'un meurtre dans une station-service. Elle a fait un choix : elle a menti aux flics. Elle pensait qu'il ne la retrouverait pas. Elle avait tort. Silas est venu la chercher. Pas pour l'effacer. Pour la remercier. Et pour lui faire comprendre que depuis cet instant, elle est à lui. Ce n'est pas de la gratitude. Ce n'est pas de l'amour. C'est une dette. Et Silas a une manière bien à lui de les faire durer. Elle aurait dû dénoncer un tueur. Elle a gagné un geôlier.
