Tara Landon has never experienced love–even worse–she’s endured a lifetime of beatings. After reaching her breaking point, she decides to run away to start a new life without anyone pinning her down or holding her back. 

However, not far into her journey, she is intercepted by soon-to-be alpha Victor Bane, a brooding, mysterious, emerald-eyed man. The thought of him scares Tara as much as it arouses her. 

She doesn’t think much of the encounter until she learns that…oh, she’s destined to be Luna of Victor’s pack. The freedom she sought is quickly ripped away from her and she must make a decision: to accept or reject her fated mate.

“I have you for a lifetime, Tara. I can be patient,” he relayed with an erotic moan.

He looked me in the eyes, as I gestured for him to unbutton my blouse. I whispered, “You might be patient, Victor. But, it isn’t polite to keep a woman waiting.”

“What will it take for you to say yes?” he asked lustfully.

“Something you can’t give.”

The Alpha and His Outlander Luna

Once we had gotten back to his cabin, he set me down and I made my way to the room so that I could change. When I was finished, I made my way back downstairs. 


I found Victor by the kitchen island sipping on some water. His eyes were distant as he gazed outside. From the moment I met him I could always tell that he was a man who carried a lot on his shoulders. After learning that he was next in line to rule over this pack it only made sense. 


There were expectations set on him that he knew he had to meet. 


From what I understood of the alpha role, it was not easy to undertake. The alpha was the strongest and fastest in the pack but was also the one with the most burdens to carry. The packmemebrs were the alpha’s top priority. That was a lot of souls to care for. I was intimidated just thinking about it.
