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 golden glow brightened her face as she looked from the crystal to me with surprise and admiration. I turned to Mrs. Herbert next who smiled warmly. 


“I have a feeling your detour in Kevant will be a lot longer than you imagined,” Mrs. Herbert commented. “Ladies and gentleman, Tara is potentially a future Luna.”


I turned my eyes to the class and scanned several faces that ranged from surprise to confusion and then landed on one of pure rage. Rena’s dark expression sent a chill down my spine and I quickly handed the crystal back to Mrs. Herbert.
