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

She was as pale as a ghost as she slept in her bed. We knew that she would struggle with the death of Briar but we never imagined that it would be so soon or this severe. 


The healers had sedated her so she could give her wolf some time to heal. Victor said he was fine but I knew that he wasn’t. He had just come to terms with losing his father. I could only imagine what was going on in his head. Life just didn’t seem fair at all.


I walked out of Emerald’s room and headed for the exit of the healing center. 


So much had been placed on my shoulders in the short amount of time. This was not at all what I imagined taking on the leadership role would be like.


Our shields as the she-wolves were meant to protect our mates. Now realizing that there was something wrong with them meant dangerous things for the pack. If our shields weren’t working then that would mean we were more susceptible to attacks. 


I needed to get to the bottom of this.
