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

“Congratulations to those students who have not been eliminated from the adventure. You are now on to level two.” A loud screeching voice pierced through our little blissful bubble and we were plunged back to the reality of where we were. 


“Level two will commence in the next five minutes. Good luck and may fate be on your side.” 


The principal's voice disappeared and the sounds of the birds returned. I quickly looked away from Victor, suddenly feeling ashamed. I could not believe that I was about to cross that line with him. I mean, I wanted to, I really really wanted to but that was a no go zone. 


Victor helped me to my feet. I couldn’t even look him in the eyes. I felt so embarrassed for what I had been about to do. Yes, there was an attraction there but a part of me still felt hesitant. Maybe I was reading too much into things.  


“Sorry,” I dusted off my school shirt which was now dirty from being on the ground.
