To some, having the attention of four princes might be a dream come true, but for Corina, it means four times the trouble.

In the midst of the Apple-Android tech war and a music-label crusade against piracy and illegal downloading, Spotify redrew the battle lines, sent shock waves through Silicon Valley, and got the hardline executives at Universal, Sony, and Warner to sign with its "free-mium" platform.

Math and science require a heightened state of concentration. It needs rational, sequential, and analytical ways to solve issues. The prefrontal cortex of your brain, which sits just below your brow, is thought to be involved in concentration when you're in focused mode.

Because of their abstraction and encryption, it's possible to think about math and science, but it takes more time and effort to do so.

Being taken in the middle of the night was just the rude awakening I needed to bring reality crashing back down. Trapped and unable to reach the princes or my team, hopelessness hunts me down like a pack of hellhounds. Making matters worse, I'm at the mercy of the one who's appeared in my nightmares since first laying eyes on him. Face-to-face for the second time, I'm reminded of our mutual hatred. Only, now that the blood bond has taken effect, is it still mutual? I get the sense that something's changed.
