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

Beside me, Victor was so tense. I thought the vein in his forehead might actually explode. 


“Victor, who is that?” I asked again, squeezing his hand. 


“That is the man that killed Logan,” he hissed through gritted teeth. 


My face paled and my hand felt cold and clammy suddenly. I knew how much Victor wanted to sink his teeth into that guy. 


A pack ceremony for peace and unity meant that Victor couldn’t act out. If he did, Alpha Briar would never forgive him. Besides, we both knew that Victor couldn’t make the first aggressive move or whatever Alpha Sidus was planning would be blamed on Victor. 


“I know you want to tear that guy’s head off, but we both know now is not the time,” I reminded him in a firm voice, under my breath. 


I glanced sideways at Victor and he smirked. 


“Don’t worry, my love, with you by my side, I’m completely steady,” he assured. He lifted our interlocked hands and kissed the back of mine.
