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

No matter what I did, I could still hear Sima’s words rushing through my head like a symphony. A chorus of something bad, something evil, an omen of a thing that we were not ready to behold.


No—a punishment. For what? For betrayal?


For breaking the trust that had been inlaid within us for so many years, through generations, throughout lifetimes and lifespans and—oh my god, was this my fault? Was it because of me? Nothing like this had ever happened before, had it?


If it did, Sima at least seemed resolved to find it. She had been held up in the library since she had figured out what it was that was wrong with us. Going through books, scriptures, ancient texts, accounts of other civilisations, h*ll, she even resorted to eating and sleeping in the library until she found something that would help us.


I felt myself becoming more and more eternally grateful to the girl’s existence.
