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.

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

Rena left me standing in front of the door for a moment, and the image of her half-hidden smile lingered in my mind before the imposing figure of the large oak doors overtook it. The guards on either side of the door stood still, as though they were waiting for me to move before they did anything.


It was only when I took a deep breath and took a step forward that the guard closest to me, the one on my right, moved towards the doors and pushed one open for me. I gave him a weak, unguarded smile, and there was a curt nod from him for a moment as though he could understand my feelings.


I walked through the threshold into the study, and my eyes darted everywhere and then toward the woman sitting on the couches in the middle of the room. The walls, both in front of me and to my right, were lined with bookshelves—it was one of the messier studies in the house, and I wondered if perhaps this might’ve been her favorite one.
