When Sloane’s heat approaches, Mason calls her fat and vicious. Cole begs not to be chosen. Gavin, whom she loves, says he would rather see her dead than father her cub. Chosen since childhood to give Mercer Clan an heir, all three reject her. Sloane gives up on them and vows to make them regret every insult. After a month of brutal training, she enters mate selection slim, powerful, and unrecognizable. As all three stare in shock, Sloane rejects them before every clan and names Ronan, the territory’s lowest slave, as the mate chosen for her by the Goddess.
