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

Had I been nervous about moving in with Victor’s parents? Of course. But, I wanted to stay strong for Victor.


Surprisingly, his mother Emerald, had shown me more hospitality than before. We had been living with them for a week now. Every day she had taken time to sit down with me and talk about my duties as the pack’s future Luna.


Emerald was fine, but Briar Bane on the other hand was another story. He was very cold and uninviting. He often answered with grunts or glares and made communicating strenuous. Victor said that it wasn’t anything personal and he was just simply that kind of person. 


In the week I had been here, I had only spoken four words to him: ‘Good morning and good night’. Last night, he finally muttered the word ‘morning’. I had to stop and collect myself after the interaction. That was progress and I was happy.
