Eighteen Artinya

She negotiated the terms of their marriage like a contract. He agreed to every condition without argument. That should have been her first warning. Sloane Mercer is a corporate attorney who built everything herself and trusts no one. When her father reappears after eighteen years with a debt that threatens her mother's home she does the only thing she can. She agrees to an arranged marriage with Beckett Rowe and walks into his world on her own terms. Beckett chose her deliberately. From a list of twelve names he chose hers. Not because of the arrangement. Because someone was already coming for her and he got there first. But the closer they get to each other the closer they get to a truth that will break everything open. Her father was sent to her door by design. The career she sacrificed everything to build was quietly poisoned before she ever walked through its doors. And the man behind all of it has been watching them both the entire time. The arrangement was never about a marriage. And falling in love was never part of the plan. But what happens when the only person who ever really saw you is the one person you were never supposed to trust?

For eighteen years, I believed I was human, the weak, ordinary girl in a house full of powerful wolves. Then my heat arrived. Not a normal heat. Something ancient. Something that shattered every lie my parents ever told me. I'm not human. I'm not just a wolf. I'm the last alpha-witch hybrid, a creature so dangerous that my existence was erased from history. And the moment my power awakened, three stepbrothers who barely looked at me for five years suddenly couldn't stay away: Ronan, the cold heir who will lose everything if he claims me. Maddox, the violent enforcer whose wolf recognizes me as his. Alec, the quiet genius whose control shatters every time I'm near. A triad bond. Forbidden. Punishable by death. My wolf doesn't care about laws. She marked one of them without asking. And now a rival Alpha is coming for me, one who believes I belong to him according to an ancient prophecy. Three stepbrothers. One impossible bond. A prophecy that will destroy us all. Fate doesn't ask permission. And when the next heat hits, none of us will be strong enough to resist.

Revenge. Sweeter than a kiss laced with honey. Hotter than the deepest depths of hell. And, it hits harder than a f*cking train… I want all of it. I need it more than the air filtering through my lungs. And the constant, unsteady but racy beat of my heart when I’m around them. Darius. Jace. Hunter. It took them five minutes to destroy my life. Faster than it took the eighteen years of my existence for my father–the alpha of the Black Syndicate–to ruin me. I was neglected. Abandoned. Rejected. Pushed around and outcasted by my pack. Now I have to prove myself so my father’s gang won’t kill me. All because of them and by the hands of my father. Want to know the worst part? They are working together. What they don’t know is, once I get released from the juvenile detention center for werewolves I was sent to because of them–I will tear them to shreds. One by one. I, Elise Cartwright, will get my revenge. NOTE: This is an enemies to lovers dark/mafia/werewolf romance where the girl will end up with multiple love interests. (Reverse Harem)
