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

My back and arms felt a little sore from my encounter with Luke the night before. I sat up in bed yawning and stretching, wincing when I strained my sore muscles. 


“Good morning, good morning,” Victor’s voice said. He knocked on my bedroom door and came in with a big, bright smile. 


“You’re in a good mood,” I said as he sat on the side of my bed. 


He took both my hands in his and ran his thumbs across the back of them, running over my knuckles and veins. 


I closed my eyes, loving the way his touch made me feel. My skin tingled and small shivers ran through me. 


“There was a while last night where I thought you had left me for good. I’m just happy that I found you and that I got you back,” he said. 


I smiled lightly. “I was never really leaving. I just needed a break.”
