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

I walked past the forest line drawing closer and closer to Victor. I came to a clearing and stepped out of the tree line to find Victor kneeling over an unconscious body. He had red stains smeared across his face.  


Alarmed, I increased my speed but I stopped short when I noticed another man holding a knife in his hand that had thick red blood dripping from its blade.  My heart dropped to my stomach.  


Victor looked like he was lost in a trance that had him transfixed on the lifeless body in front of him. He kept mumbling the name ‘Logan’ over and over again.  


Then it dawned on me why it sounded familiar. That was his brother. The same brother he had said that he killed. Just like my level before this was one of Victor’s memories. He was remembering the death of his brother but in a more intense and traumatizing way.  


Clearly, the test was showing him what happened the day that Logan died—the worst day of Victor’s life.
