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 didn’t want to leave the pack for good. I just needed a break. So, I headed back to the human world and got myself a coffee at a coffee shop. I walked through a familiar art’s district and watched some of the street performers. 


There was something so simple about the art galleries and people playing instruments on the street. A simplicity I almost missed. 


I walked around drinking my coffee and glancing in some of the gallery windows. It was exactly the kind of break I needed. 


When the galleries started closing, I finished off my coffee and made my way back toward the pack territory. 


As much as I enjoyed returning to the human world, I didn’t belong there anymore. It was obvious to me now. I could walk around drinking coffee and watching them but no one had looked at me or talked to me. They didn’t know I was a werewolf but they must have sensed something was different about me.
