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

Victor asked me to meet him out in the woods the day before the eclipse. When I showed up, Rose, Sima, Axel, and Evan were already there. I was the last one to show up. 


“You’re late,” Victor teased, slipping his arm around my waist and kissing the side of my head. 


“No, you’re all early,” I argued. 


Victor chuckled and gave me a side hug before releasing me. 


“What are we doing here?” I asked, looking around the clearing. There were some wooden benches made from split logs and an empty fire pit at the center. 


Rose and Axel were huddled together on one of the benches. Sima and Evan had their arms around each other too. 


“We don’t know what is going to happen, so we figured it would be a good idea to spend time together,” Rose said, shrugging. 


“That sounds like a good idea,” I said. Victor and I sat down on the empty bench. He put one arm around me and placed his other hand on my knee.
